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. 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.
