[spoiler=Description][b][size=150]Description[/size][/b]
I guess you're so tired of running everywhere in this bloody huge factory ?
Even with exoskeletons, all these kilometers are a pain, no ?
You'd better chill out and relax in a deck-chair, drinking a beer and monitoring your factory from your smartphone ?

Well the bad news is that there is no more beer since the last six-pack broke during your spaceship crash...
But the good news is that you can search a new Camera Drones technology !

Just build a few drones and send them away to spy around, or let them in stationary flight somewhere in your factory or in an outpost.
They have solar panels and a good lithium battery, so they can fly for a very long time !
They just need to be in range of a drone antenna (around 100m).
At any moment, just switch on them and watch through their camera.
That's as simple as that.
The maintenance drone upgrade can even interact with your factory. But cannot wear weapons.
And now, relax in your deck chair and well... dream about a good fresh beer !

Notes :
- open/close the drones list with the big upper button.
- use the drones list to switch from one drone to another or switch back into your body.
- you can rename a drone with "N" to describe its position.
- you can delete a drone with "X" (confirm with a second click).
- the "?" button helps you to find the drone with a big arrow. Click again to delete the arrow.
- the drones list can contain a page of 10 drones, but you can swap pages.
- maintenance drone names are colored in orange.
- drones are invincible so you can spy aliens with them...
- surveillance drones are quite inactive : they cannot handcraft things, they have no inventory, but they still have a toolbelt that you can use to transport a few items.
- maintenance drones are more powerful (maybe a little too much...)
- while droning, your body remains active : handcrafts continues, you can meet aliens or players, etc...
- so, of course, your body can die, and if your body dies while droning, you come back in your dead corpse. But in multiplayer, drones remains after player respawn.
- edit config.lua if you want to customize some variables.[/spoiler]
