Add one extra follower robot to techlvl 5

Post by lancar »

As the topic says, increase the bonus followers for "Follower Robot Count 5" from 2 to 3.
This is so that when the even +5 bonuses comes around, you won't be eternally stuck with 24-29-34-39- etc, always blowing up one Destroyer drone (which deploys in batches of 5) when filling up your ranks from zero.

It's a minor annoyance to be sure, but it keeps bugging me (pun not intended) every time I go out to clear some nests.

I always hate dealing with that wasted bot...do I deploy another set or wait until one is detoryed by biters?

There is no point to disagree. Also It would be nice to see your current maximum number of robots(if this isnt already in the game?)

You can see the current max amount by hovering your mouse over the icon displaying how many bots you currently have deployed.
