Drone Logistics and Orbital Launches

Two systems carry your factory upward: drones below, orbit above. Both are official: deploy drone logistics, and launch units to orbit as your industrial wonder grows. (Source: Steam store page)

What Is Confirmed?

• Drone logistics move goods between stages.
• Orbital launches send units to orbit — the sky is part of the factory.
• The endgame framing is your Dyson Sphere industrial wonder on Tpler. (all: official page)

Drone counts, ranges, launch costs and payloads are in-game data we will not invent.

Using Drones Well (community estimates)

• Bridge distance, not replace belts. Drones excel where lines cannot reach; belting everything anyway wastes the system — and droning everything wastes throughput. (community estimate)
• Right-size the fleet. Too few drones starve stages; too many idle overhead. Watch queues, not counts. (community estimate)
• Feed the launch pad steadily. Orbital launches reward a smooth production line behind them more than bursts. (community estimate)

Orbital Launches as Goals

Launches give the desktop factory its long arc — a reason to widen lines, draw better perks, and push output each run. (community framing of official systems)
