Change Log
v1.1.0
- Fixed bug with drones getting locked up when Icarus completes their task first.
- Clearing tasks no longer save. This is a compromise to avoid issues when disabling/removing the mod.
- Fixed bug when performing Quit Game that wasn't removing drone clearing tasks.
- Improvement in drone usage calculation. This provides a cleaner cut-off when clearing is shutoff due to drone count usage or energy availability.
- Disable clearing when mecha energy level is too low (configurable).
- Optimized mechanic for holding drone still while working.
