UES Drifter

By yours truly, Dermitio. Because I dont like base Drifter.
Adds Drifter loadout skills for building, upgrading, and maintaining UES drones.

Loadout

[Secondary] UES Fabricator: Fabricate allied drones from Junk and Scrap.
[Utility] Junk Patch: Heal yourself, allies, and drones with Junk.
[Special] Nanobot Upgrades: Temporarily raise an owned drone by one vanilla upgrade tier.
[Passive] Hoarder Efficiency: Improve Junk generation and Scrap conversion while both UES skills are selected.

Fabrication recipes

Fabricate disposable allied drones using Junk and Scrap. They keep their vanilla behavior, carry an [F] name marker, and gradually decay. Junk Patch maintains them; destroyed fabricated drones cannot be repaired with gold. Surviving drones retain their health percentage across stages and wait out stages that prohibit drones.

Junk Patch

Heal yourself, an aimed ally, or a drone. Fabricated drones turn excess healing into a temporary barrier. Your target briefly receives your Trash To Treasure bonuses, and a larger fabricated fleet makes Junk Patch cheaper while slowing drone decay.

Nanobot Upgrades

Temporarily upgrade compatible owned drones for the current stage. Purchased, combined, and fabricated drones are supported. The extra tier expires before the next stage's drones spawn and does not become permanent through gold repairs.

Hoarder Efficiency

This passive improves Junk capacity, Junk generation, Scrap conversion, and fabricated-drone cooldowns.

Multiplayer and installation

Menus are client-side. Requires current Drifter and Alloyed Collective/DLC3 drone content.

Lore

Because why not.

After Drifter somehow met Captain, 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.
