Alright, update probably won't go up until Sunday, but until then, I want anybody that has anything they think I'm missing from the mechanics page or that wants their drone to have a permanent designation to tag me with that info. I will try to work your drone's "voice" into things, but I may not do it very well.
I'd assume the basic chassis are at least partially water-resistant, given how being soaked by mud / swamp water didn't break anybody.
Yes actually, they're pretty decently sealed. I wouldn't try going full submarine mind you, seals will leak, but brief forays into the water are fine. Well, barring anything in the water, of course.
So... you're saying that there are more biomes than we have discovered so far
Yup. To the north is grasslands, there are a few deserts scattered about, farmlands, real swamps with actual functioning ecosystems, rainforest, tundra, icepack, skylands, abyssal ways, the Plush and Sugar kingdoms (also known as "why sorcerer god children should be kept far from mortals"), Halfling hills...the possibilities are endless!
@Hangwind will you keep track of how many canister drone chassis there are, so if people wanna switch, there would be "second-hand" chassis rather than making a new one each time?
In lore? Yes. On paper?
Hell no. Y'all come back with a drone that has a cost attached and I'll give you a rebate on the cost. I dead refuse to end up with the ship having a junkyard around it, or me stuck pouring through pages of notes to figure out if I need to charge you this time.
Eventually you are going to have a LOT of options for bodies, and I don't want to deal with all that noise.
Well, except defending my fellow drones. But I will be sad if we lose research opportunities because of an excess of "enthusiasm".
