Drones, a concept of endgame automation
With the introduction of the breach, I want to introduce a idea to pave endgame automations. drones are late to endgame method of automation. For starters the basic drone capability is that they are capable of quickly transporting items across large distances
There are three parts to SIMPLE drone logistics:
- ports: input/output of drones, works like a pedestal, can only hold one item type
- terminal: connects to ports, and is the brains of the drone, it tells the drones where it should take inputs, where it should leave outputs and etc.
- Mk 1 drones: the basic variant, moves items from port to port. Goes through walls
Pros:
-No distance limit
-Phases through walls
-Relatively quick to set up, easy to expand
- time to deliver is dependent on the natural log of distance + 1
Cons:
-Expensive, locked behind galaxite
-Only capable of pushing and pulling items for ports
-needs to recharge after delivery
I might add on ideas into the comments

can't imagine the amount of AI script for pathing to & from.
1), i think there's a rendering limit of 220(?) blocks within player. So unlimited distance is not possible.
2) By game lore. It's underground, phasing through wall is saying, there's open space above these walls.
