Droid Activity Module
Icon:
This is used to count how many droids are currently alive in your force. Use this to help limit your population.
This is a fake "Constant Combinator" where the output is automatically updated (rate configurable in config.lua!) with how many droids are alive - you can use this to connect to an inserter with a logic circuit wire and set the conditions for inserting another droid into a droid assembler, like the little setup shown below:
This allows you to set your own "population cap" for how many are deployed at any single point in time. As droids die, more can be spawned. Just make sure to keep up with production!
All droid types (5, now with Firebot) now have individual count values in addition to the total population. Enjoy!
