Description
Dronefin
"Featured in the Hourglass, the Dronefin serves as an all purpose drone to assist the crew in scouting, exploration, mining, nest clearing and pirate missions!"

Features:
  • Shoots lasers from its eye!
  • Will follow you!
  • Will carry items for you!
  • Will refill oxygen tanks for you!
  • Will charge battery cells for you!
  • Will drop a nuke/decoy for you!
  • Will shock enemies for you!
  • Will ram other subs for you!
  • Will smash ice spires for you!
  • Will play music!
  • Mineral scanner!
  • Is a great companion!
  • Is magnetic (swim to its eye to get magnetised to the drone movement and become immune to electrical discharge coil)!
  • Can bait enemies!
  • Can be ridden on!
  • Can fit through the smallest gaps in caves!
  • Can be driven and controlled directly or remotely!
  • Both periscope controls and navigation terminal controls directly and remotely (4 ways)!
  • Automatically docks when not held down and undocks on holding down!
  • Has automatic braking when not held!
  • Has monster detection indicator!
  • Can be parked instead of following with navigation terminal (Drone Control + Autopilot, hold in periscope to revert)!
  • Can be both driven (navigation terminal) and shoot lasers (periscope on laser mode) at the same time!
  • Hold to steer or shoot laser depending on mode (red eye = laser mode).
  • Double click to switch modes (drive, laser)!
  • Only one steering method can be active at a time, click "Drone Control" in navigation terminals to gain control or hold down on drive mode in periscopes.

Dronefin + Chaingun Variant
  • Chaingun from its mouth!
  • Double click to cycle modes (drive, laser, chaingun)!

Setup
Simply link the Dronefin to a docking port and its direct controls should work fine! Use the included "Dronefin Remote Setup" item assembly to optionally enable remote controls or manually wire:
  • NBL = 0.2428
  • WiFi:1000 = Navigation Terminal's transducer_in
  • WiFi:1001 = Periscope's position_out
  • WiFi:1002 = Periscope's trigger_out
  • WiFi:1003 = Navigation Terminal's signal_out_1 (Drone Control)
  • WiFi:1004 = Navigation Terminal's signal_out_2 (Discharge coil)
  • WiFi:1005 = Navigation Terminal's signal_out_3 (Launch Depth Charge)
  • WiFi:1006 = Navigation Terminal's toggle_docking
  • WiFi:1007 = Concatenation signal_out (velocity_x_out,velocity_y_out) of Navigation Terminal's
  • WiFi:1008 = Camera

Real Sonar Compatibility
Make sure the drone & sub is below real sonar in the mods order and its setting is configured to:
{ "navterminal":{"damage":"high","sounds":"default","range":12000}, "shuttlenavterminal":{"damage":"medium","sounds":"shuttle","range":10000}, "sonarmonitor":{"damage":"low","sounds":"default","range":8000}, "subdronenavterminal":{"damage":"low","sounds":"shuttle","range":10000}, "dronenavterminal":{"damage":"low","sounds":"shuttle","range":10000} }
To disable sonar damage from drone terminals specifically, untick custom sonar in the setting.

Originally posted by author:
'Magnet' Wall HP has been changed from 0 to 0.1 to address the issue of it blocking plasma cutter however now requires it to be broken once to 0HP manually to allow turret to shoot through.
  • Leave the Dronefin enabled in mods for it to function correctly.
  • In order to ride or swim along the Dronefin, you have to become 'magnetised' (it basically acts as if you're in a flooded hull) by swimming to the eye where the effect lasts until you leave the 'magnetic zone' of the large gap. It's best to swim up to the eye then pause a bit but it's not always as reliable where it may take a few attempts.
  • You have to refill the ammunition box and depth charge outside on the drone after each use.
  • The supercapacitor has 120w capacity where the oxygen tank shelf, charging dock, navigation terminal and active sonar all drain 1w each. When undocked, it will last 40 mins or 30 mins with active sonar on although using the turret and electrical discharge coil will also drain the supercapacitor as well. The navigation terminal will still function on 0% charge but the oxygen tank shelf, charging dock and active sonar will no longer work where the supercapacitor needs to be charged (60w, 2 mins) at a docking port.
  • There is an invisible deconstructor linked to the large steel cabinet (remote access on the sub) precisely positioned while docked for the Hourglass at the star trophy middle shelf in the Sub Center Right room near the Armory. On other subs, you could adjust its position or remove the deconstructor.

Hey, thanks for the response.

@[2nd-AD] Xytal Riz I don't think you can buy it as a drone for your existing sub but you can buy it as a new sub. You will have to use the sub editor to add the drone to your sub (link to a powered docking port), optionally place "Dronefin Remote Setup" item assembly for remote controls and have Dronefin mod enabled.

@◤La◢ I edited the dimensions of the hull via an item assembly XML file then had drag and drop the XML file to the sub editor to spawn the 1x1 hull in!

Am i able to buy and add this to a sub mid campaign (noticed shops in tier 2 region have remote shuttle terminals for sale), or do i need to use sub editor and add the dronefin to it?
manuel 29 Sep, 2024 @ 5:43am 
finally i wont feel so alone on a nest clearing mission

How did you even make that tiny 1x1 hull at the eye?

@Dragon_born this is the drone for @Rendoe's Hourglass submarine. the drone design is based off the real-life Hourglass dolphin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hourglass_dolphin

wait is this not the, actual orca?

Maybe, Zyleand's was referenced for the braking system (the constant to normalise the velocity into 0-100 vector & the ballast to volume ratio) and the following system (optimised a bit further) but it does differ on integration and other features such as the 4 ways (remote & direct, periscope/terminal) controls, the auto docking on the drone for both periscope and terminal control, the need to refill ammunition, the magnetism to keep players on when ridding the drone and not be shocked by discharge coil as well as the chaingun cycling variant etc.

So its basicly a super powerful zyeland drone yes?
