      What are some of the biggest challenges that you had when working on the drones?

      Was there anything that really threw a wrench in the works?

      Or was it overall kind of just smooth sailing as you developed them?

    2. Tobias

      uh yeah i mean there's there's a lot of challenges with it because it's such a big feature um you basically need to keep in mind everything that can go wrong as you're working on it so for example uh what happens if you dismantle all the stations in the world and then you just have your drone stuck in the air what happens if you dismantle a drone which is

      docked at a station and all kinds of things like that.

      And even just like having two drones arrive at the same station at the same time, what should happen in that case?

    3. Jace

      So it's all about like those weird edge cases, I guess.

    4. Tobias

      Yeah, exactly.

      And you need to keep them all in mind at all times during development as well.

    5. Jace

      Right, right.

      Sounds rough.

      So I guess

    6. Tobias

      it

    7. Jace

      was that and the pathing, I guess, was the other biggest thing.

    8. Tobias

      Yeah.

      And just making them work in general.

      So there's a lot of moving parts to this feature.

    9. Jace

      Nice, nice.

      Must feel good to have got it all together.

    10. Tobias

      Oh yeah, for sure.

      Yeah.
