Featherguard Drone

One drone gives its target two effects at the same time:

• Feather: makes the target much lighter.
• Indestructible: protects the target from damage.

Main information

• Shop price: $38,000–$48,000 — exactly the Feather Drone price plus the Indestructible Drone price.
• Battery use: the same speed as the Indestructible Drone.
• Charging cost: the combined charging cost of one Feather Drone and one Indestructible Drone.
• Shop: appears as a separate item in the normal shop.
• Admin menu name: Item Drone Featherguard.

How to use

Buy the drone, activate it, and attach its beam to an item. The item becomes lighter and indestructible while the drone is active and has battery power.

If a wall gets between a drone and its target, the drone automatically returns to the target. This protection also works for the standard R.E.P.O. drones.

Model

The drone has a custom black, white, and red model with folding wings, a front beam lens, and stable round physics.

Multiplayer

All players should install the mod. BepInExPack and REPOLib are required and are installed automatically by the mod manager.

Changelog

1.6.2

• Apply the extraction pose inside the final inventory teleport, preserving its owner checks and multiplayer path.
• Keep the model upright with an explicit up axis.
• Add glossier painted panels, segmented wing colours, outward/backward wing tilt and illuminated pivot rings.
• Keep the inventory icon and gameplay settings unchanged.

1.6.1

• Restricted obstacle recovery to Featherguard, Feather and Indestructible drones; other drones and modded items keep their normal behaviour.
• Assign the inventory sprite to ItemAttributes.icon, the field actually read by the hotbar, bypassing the old automatic icon cache for this item only.
• Give each spawned drone its own sprite so destroying one drone cannot remove another drone's icon.
• Apply the front-facing pose at inventory extraction without a later visual-only reset.

1.6.0

• Added a large, bright custom inventory icon with the front lens facing the player and both wings raised.
• Restored the floating battery meter in the lobby between locations.
• The drone can now attach to both valuables and ordinary physics-grabbable items.

1.5.5

• Added a visual-only inventory pose: the drone presents its front lens toward the viewer at a 45-degree left/down angle.
• Kept the confirmed 1.5.4 gameplay, physics, networking, shop and energy behaviour unchanged.

1.5.4

• Fixed built-in Feather and Indestructible Drone discovery in saved and multiplayer games.
• Keeps the exact combined price by accepting only the real drone component with the matching built-in prefab name.
• No model, physics, effects, battery, or charging changes.

1.5.3

• Restored the proven registration order used by the working 1.4.x releases.
• Added a clear log message when the built-in drone data is not ready yet.
• No model, physics, effects, battery, charging, or price changes.

1.5.2

• Republished the 1.5.1 registration fix under a new Thunderstore version.
• No model, physics, gameplay, balance, or networking logic changes.

1.5.1

• Restored Featherguard registration after the game finishes creating its built-in item list.
• Registration now runs before REPOLib finalises custom items, keeping the network prefab available to every peer.
• No model, physics, effect, battery, charging, or price changes.

1.5.0

• Fixed multiplayer visibility by registering the item and its network prefab before REPOLib finalises the run item list.
• Added an early registration attempt so every peer prepares the same prefab before room objects can spawn.
• No model, physics, effect, battery, charging, or price changes.

1.4.3

• Corrected the shop price to the exact combined price of the Feather Drone and Indestructible Drone: $38,000–$48,000.
