1) drone mastery skill = - durability loss... on level 20 +1 drone
2) a 27 picture lie .... drones can't gather pragmium ;]
3) energy 2.0 for 1 player/ 3 land claims = -10% energy from generators
a) 2 or more steam generators = 80% game gathering wood and coal . and still need more advanced generators for base to work
b) 1 fuel generator = 15 ep/sec - 10% = 13.5 ep/sec (for optimal work 1 generator need 1 oil pump, 1 rafinery, 1 oil cracking plant)
1 oil pump = -2 ep/sec
1 rafinery = -4 ep/sec
1 oil cracking plant = -5 ep/sec
total for 1 generator = -11 ep/sec
energy left for base = 2.5 ep/sec ... rest base need +/- 50 ep/ sec ... so we need a lot of generators(+ bonus buildings) +a lot of canisters , or many additional solar panels
in my opinion
1) fuel generator should have more power/sec or less fuel consumption
2 ) oil cracking plant and -5 ep/sec.... it is much slower then manually in a 26 ( but more comfortably ) we can build more but it will be +5 ep/sec for one
it should be 3-4 time faster or less ep/sec
for now only option is to make additional 3-4 solar panels x 4 panels(15 pragmium for 1) so 240 pragmium in 5-6 day cycles

Im not sure what the Dev's reasons are for not including pragmium in drone mining list; but i think its good because if you enable them, then you just make volcano too easy as you can just duck most of the enemies and send drones from a distance.
