They are made using the upgrade fabricator found in the Scanner Room. When the Scanner Room is first constructed, it will provide two Camera Drones. Camera Drones can be moved around and can be replaced if destroyed.

Uses

To use a Camera Drone, the Player must go to the camera station, which activates the drones.

A Camera Drone features a HUD displaying depth, distance, health and energy, which can be used for navigation and safety. However, Camera Drones can only go up to 500 meters away from the Scanner Room before losing signal. The image will go static as the drone nears the edge of the signal range.

If a drone's health is depleted, it becomes inoperable and must be fixed with a Repair Tool in order to work again. If a drone's energy is depleted, it must be retrieved manually and placed back into its slot on the Scanner Room for recharging.

Players can use Camera Drones to scan the surrounding area for resources. After the player selects a desired resource, the room will emit a sound and yellow dots will soon appear to mark the resource locations on the hologram.

Each Scanner Room has a beacon that only drones can see, which can be used to navigate back to the Scanner Room.

Hazards

Stalkers can grab drones in their mouth, treating it similarly to Metal Salvage, and will chase down drones attempting to escape, even going so far as to pull them out of Scanner Room sockets. Crashfish are also a threat, and can destroy the drone by exploding. Lava Geysers will also damage Camera Drones periodically if the drone is within range of the lava.

Recipe

Bugs

In build version 50032: Camera drones vanish from the world upon loading a saved game, and must be rebuilt, or spawned back in using Debug Console Commands.
