Their ability to swap between two different modes, Rancher or Explorer, greatly improves this gadget’s usefulness around Rainbow Island. Just make sure to keep these busy bees fueled up with plorts! With all this free time, Ranchers everywhere can explore without a care in the world.
Rancher Mode, when placed on the Conservatory, allows drones to automate slime care, gardening, and clean up by completing programmed tasks.
Explorer Mode, when placed out in the wilds, tasks drones with harvesting resources across Rainbow Island. Players will have immediate access to these gathered resources via the new Quantum Cloud inventory.
After a hard day’s work, Quantum Drones can get a little sleepy. Utilize Drone Stations to charge their batteries and get a little R&R, as well as program and fuel drones with plenty of plorts. Each crafted station comes with its own paired drone.
