Drones can climb through connected vents, walk through airlocks without opening them, climb over tables, and move unhindered through other drones and non-drones alike. To climb into a vent hold the ''Alt'' key while left-clicking on it. These abilities allow drones to access areas and gather tools or materials for repairs faster than any regular crew member could. As a drone, think about cleaning up your mess after a task is complete to minimize your possible interaction with the crew (law 1). | Drones can climb through connected vents, walk through airlocks without opening them, climb over tables, and move unhindered through other drones and non-drones alike.

Usually, the [[Curator]] will be the only non-drone that can speak to and understand them. Drones can, however, listen in on the silicon binary channel. This allows them to find out about hull breaches and other events that might require their attention -- provided the silicons are actually making use of their channel. Drones also have their own channel, accessed the same way that silicons access binary: ".b". | ||
Drones are entirely immune to all atmospheric effects, as well as radiation. Otherwise they are quite fragile, and can be easily destroyed by an angry crewmember, stray bullet, hungry space carp, or unforeseen explosion. Additionally, drones can be detonated by the [[AI]] via the Robotics Control console in the [[Research Director]]'s office. | Drones are entirely immune to all atmospheric effects, as well as radiation.

They are able to procure the requisite resources on their own and may attempt to take them from your workplace. Most of the time this should not be a problem for you, but if it is, pick up the metal or glass and the drone will leave it (and you) alone. | ||
Remember, drones <s>will probably glitch out and steal your shit</s> are very single-minded in their task and thus are likely to acquire supplies you need for yourself. Their goals tend to align with betterment of the station, however, so in some cases these thefts can be overlooked. | Remember, drones <s>will probably glitch out and steal your shit</s> are very single-minded in their task and thus are likely to acquire supplies you need for yourself.
