UESDrifter
UES Drifter adds drone related skills to Drifter after she was recruited into the UES crew by Captain.UES Drifter
By Dermitio.
Adds Drifter loadout skills for building, upgrading, and maintaining UES drones.
Loadout
[Secondary] UES Fabricator: Open the fabrication menu. A confirmed craft costs resources, starts a 20-second cooldown, and counts toward the 8 active fabricated-drone limit.
[Utility] Junk Patch: 16 Junk, 12 seconds, 12m. Heal self or aimed ally for 35% missing health; drones heal for 60%.
[Special] Nanobot Upgrades: Give an owned compatible drone one temporary vanilla upgrade tier until the next stage. Maximum 2 active upgrades per player.
[Passive] Hoarder Efficiency: Active only while UES Fabricator is equipped.
Fabrication recipes
Fabricated drones are created at the given combine tiers when crafted. When a fabricated drone dies it does not leave behind an intractable body.
[Tier 1] Gunner Drone: 4 Junk.
[Tier 1] Healing Drone: 4 Junk + 1 Green Scrap, or 6 Junk + 2 White Scrap.
[Tier 2] Missile Drone: 6 Junk + 1 Green Scrap.
[Tier 2] Emergency Drone: 6 Junk + 2 White + 1 Green Scrap, or 8 Junk + 4 White Scrap.
[Tier 2] Barrier Drone: 6 Junk + 1 White + 1 Green Scrap, or 10 Junk + 3 White Scrap.
[Tier 2] Jailer Drone: 10 Junk + 3 White Scrap.
[Tier 2] Incinerator Drone: 12 Junk + 2 Green Scrap, or 14 Junk + 6 White Scrap.
[Tier 3] Bombardment Drone: 12 Junk + 1 White + 1 Red Scrap, or 14 Junk + 2 White + 3 Green Scrap.
[Tier 3] TC-280 Prototype: 16 Junk + 2 White + 1 Green + 1 Red Scrap, or 20 Junk + 4 White + 4 Green Scrap.
[Tier 3] Freeze Drone: 14 Junk + 1 Green + 1 Red Scrap, or 16 Junk + 3 Green Scrap.
Nanobot Upgrades
[Permanent Tier 1] Upgrade cost: 8 Junk + 1 White Scrap.
[Permanent Tier 2] Upgrade cost: 12 Junk + 1 Green Scrap.
[Permanent Tier 3+] Upgrade cost: 16 Junk + 2 White + 3 Green Scrap.
Nanobot stacks never alter permanent Drone Combiner progress. They are removed at the next stage, and destroyed drones receive no refund.
Hoarder Efficiency
For every two unused fabricated-drone slots, generate 25% more Junk. At 20 Junk, each would-be Junk independently rolls to become Scrap.
[0 matching Scrap owned] Chance multiplier: 100%. White 1.00%, Green 0.20%, Red 0.050%, Yellow 0.010%.
[1 matching Scrap owned] Chance multiplier: 80%. White 0.80%, Green 0.16%, Red 0.040%, Yellow 0.008%.
[2 matching Scrap owned] Chance multiplier: 60%. White 0.60%, Green 0.12%, Red 0.030%, Yellow 0.006%.
[3 matching Scrap owned] Chance multiplier: 40%. White 0.40%, Green 0.08%, Red 0.020%, Yellow 0.004%.
[4+ matching Scrap owned] Chance multiplier: 20%. White 0.20%, Green 0.04%, Red 0.010%, Yellow 0.002%.
Each UES-fabricated drone gains 10% cooldown reduction per 4 carried Junk, capped at 40%.
Multiplayer and installation
Menus are client-side; the server resolves recipes/targets, validates ownership, availability, limits, Junk, and Scrap, then performs payment and effects. Install on host and clients with r2modman. Requires current Drifter and Alloyed Collective/DLC3 drone content.
Lore
Because why not.
Drifter somehow met captain and Captain decided to recruit her into the UES crew. She proved herself a valuable field engineer and was given the chance to create a portable drone fabricator.
