A patch released today containing a bunch of quality of life updates related to crafting and drones. Here is a list:

1) Crafting will now use items from your material storage. Priority for auto-select on the crafting page goes inventory first, then top-most stack in material storage.

2) Added a Quick Stack button to material storage that will put all your tools and materials in your inventory into available storage slots, in one go. Say thanks to rollin for coding this.

3) Added a recipe for Manganese Ingot and Plate to Blueprint Shop. These items are used as optionals in drone repair recipes. 20% condition restored for Mang ingot, 60% for Mang plate.

4) The better the material used in drone repairs, the lower the repair duration. For example, 5 Gold Plates will only take 15 minutes now, whereas 5 Steel Plates will take 90 minutes.

5) Damage taken on successful drone jobs now scales with job level. Level 1 jobs have 5-10 damage range while level 10 jobs have 10-25 damage range.

6) Drones in your drone bay and on active jobs will be ordered by level now.

Also I forgot to mention, I am hosting a Werewolves game in our Games Room forum. There are prizes that will help you when leveling up your personal drones. Even if you don't know how to play WW games, it is worth signing up since there is a participation reward!

The Drone Bays page is now accessible through Hive Outskirts -> Crafter's Guild -> Drone Bays. If you want easier access add the Drones Module to your template or add Drone Bays as a Quick Link. Also, once you craft a drone you will have a new button on your profile that links to your Drone Bay.

First you will need to craft your drone bay, then your drones, and upgrade the bay to fit more afterwards.

A known issue is if you have a rental scavenger and miner drone out at the same time your sidechat and status effects modules will be buggy and won't update. Hopefully I can get that fixed by tomorrow since it's a bit annoying. It's only for rentals as far as I know.

I'll make a megathread in Main Forum for any questions, suggestions, etc. about the update.

Also Lynx added some more daily quests in this update, though I'm not sure what they are yet. We will find out soon.

As requested, I released 3 new recipes in Joe's Merchandise under the Halloween tab. These recipes let you convert 15 colored souls into an Effigy. The drop rate for souls is much more than the drop rate of Effigies and hopefully this will reduce the excess souls accumulating in market storage.
