    Looks like Splat slept through the opening cinematic...
    The Drones are currently controlled by 32000 individual Psionics who transferred their conciousness to the drones.
    There there is no need for more processing etc, the drones to that mostly on their own, as every drone is basically a person and not a mindless machine.

    @liquidminds 3 года назад

    If I got the initial video correctly, some human minds were transferred into them, so you'll probably need more humans to get more drones, in this games lore.
    But actually, the idea of drones is based on swarm-intelligence, as observed in birds and fish. Each individual has the brain-capacity they have, but they react to their neighbor, creating the swarm-behavior we see. So if they gave you the ability to produce more drones, they could just replicate them, since they'd already do their own thinking.

      So they're limited to their 32k uploaded souls, unless they figure out a way to copy/paste those souls, then we would have entered ethics territory. But if they settle for less advanced drones, since they seemed a pretty cyberpunky civilization already, they could have 32k "human drones" each commanding, let's say a thousand drones, then you'd have 32 million tiny robots assisted by 32 thousand super robots... That's kinda scary, huh
      PS: also, the game is very GPU intensive already and I don't even think they actually render 32k drones but the number there is just for storytelling

      The crate would have to loose a lot of speed on impact and the asteroid gain a little.

      Skeet Svar common sense and physics often don’t overlap as much as we’d like, unfortunately.

    Hey Splat, you said the feeling of controlling the drones make it seems almost biological, it's because they are being controlled individually giving this awesome look and control, this game is using Unity's high performance DOTS technology, and Unity even retweeted these folks recently cuz of that.

    I don't think there's an AI. They said 32k psyonics moved their consciousness into the drones. SO unless you're sacrificing more humans then you're set with the number.
