Does the drones rebuild them selfs after time or do we need to waste stuff to build them? Also does it go after any fire or just campfires?

Not Working for me. The fire was on the range. Drone was not working.

cool idea!

That's cool

wow! best ever

This is kind of silly but it's great and I love it!

Okay this is hilarious

yea, really wish 'Fire suppression zone' was different from Home zone

@Sumatris. To answer your questions. I have/use mini map. I also tend to forget after a dry storm to check around for the fires. There are mods which also turn off rain eg the wildfire mod or you could be on a map with low rainfall. There also may be plants/trees which I don't want to harvest or are still growing naturally. Also, I don't want my colonists running to the map edge to "clean" the zone.
It would simply be giving us a toggle/choice to have it scan whole map or restrict it to the home zone.

Your idea is so good that it shocked me.

Fantastic idea!

@Cpt. Yossarian fixed, thank you.

@thesoupiest or a deadlife drone

Now do one you load with a corpse that explodes into infectious slime

Getting a yellow error on startup. Only using base game, all dlcs, this mod, and the hugs log standalone mod. I don't think the error is critical, but it's there.

First part of the error: Tried to use an uninitialized DefOf of type ThingDefOf. DefOfs are initialized right after all defs all loaded. Uninitialized DefOfs will return only nulls. (hint: don't use DefOfs as default field values in Defs, try to resolve them in ResolveReferences() instead)

niccccccccccccccce

Finally, FPV drones in rimworld

Also, finally there's something to make the hunter drone research project useful. Thank you! :-)

@multiplayer_rocks: This issue is easily solved with a minimap mod that displays any burning fires. Also, why don't you care about far-away fires in the first place? If a wildfire grows big enough, the weather will automatically switch to rain anyway, so this should very rarely become an actual problem for a colony.

"Whatever. go my scarab"

oh this is cool AF

Skipdrone (Teleports pawn to nearest medical bed or activation spot).

finally, spacer tech firefoam

This is such a good idea. An advanced form of the firepopper, if I do say so myself

Think you could add support for More Hunter Drones in the form of a Rechargeable Drone Backpack?

evil hunter drone be like :

seriously, a good mod and a clever upgrade to firefoam poppers

I liked the idea it wasn't restricted to home area. Just means I have to make a home zone around the fire, which assumes I visually see/notice it on my large map. You don't get alerts there's a fire outwith the home zone. Especially useful following the "dry thunderstorm" events where I don't want to send the colonists out to deal with it. Would it be possible to put in an option to search beyond the home zone ?
Still keeping the mod as it is helpful anyway. Thx.

Brilliant idea!

That is brilliant! Will this occur whenever there is a fire, or is there a limit to how far the Fire Foam Hunter Drone can see flames?

Hi, how's the performance impact?

really cool mod idea

Actually useful bots? Amazing, good work)

smart!

Any chance you could add the range and building cost?

Adjusted the fire detection range to be limited within the home area, as it was somewhat inconvenient previously

This is brilliant

haha this is cool

Great, thanks for info.

It’s 20 cells in radius

That's awesome, no more micromanaging environmental fires, just let the drone loose.

What's the activation range?

It only auto-deploys, there’s no manual activation.
You can somewhat control its activation by using door forbid settings, but basically, it’s an inflexible automatic fire extinguisher. It even opens doors, so be careful when placing it near your killbox or outer walls.
The cost should be some steel and about 3 or 4 components.

I'll try this out but a couple of questions. Does the drone auto deploy or can we manually activate it. I may want to hold back the drone if my enemies are on fire if there's a big raid or it's only a small fire. What's the resource cost. Thx.
