Drones.png

Drones are discontented, undereducated citizens which appear as a result of population pressure and other social forces, Drones work like other base inhabitants.

If a base has more Drones than Talents, a Drone Riot will result. A base will continue to feed itself, but no production will take place and no surplus energy will be produced. To end Drone Riots, the number of Drones needs to be decreased and/or the number of Talents increased.

Building Psych related facilities or secret projects such as Recreation Commons reduce the number of Drones as do turning workers into psych producing Specialists.

If your social engineering Police rating is high enough, combat units can convert drones into workers.

Nerve Stapling can also be used to quell drone riots.

The base Governor can be instructed to manage only the population of a base (using advanced settings on the ‘Base Control Screen’) and will automatically minimise the number of Drones at a base.
