| description | Produces Drones from processors. Drones fly to houses to become BuyDrones for shoppers, converting those houses into OmegaCo subscribers! OmegaCo subscriber houses that receive Omega goods from BuyDrones become OmegaCo Gold members, providing double the profits.
Drones are also sent to Safety Levels in MegaTowers or Hangars in Hospitals, Large Fire Stations or Police Precincts, where they replace public servants. |
- Drone Assembly Line is part of the Cities of Tomorrow expansion.
Description
Drones are a powerful new congestion-fighting tool that is unlocked through progression in the OmegaCo specialization. Drones in Cities of Tomorrow are influenced by current military unmanned aerial vehicle technology, but focused on how that technology could improve and affect cities. Drones follow existing roads in your city, but fly above the car and pedestrian traffic and are not impeded by stop signs or lights. The OmegaCo Drone Assembly Line add-on at the OmegaCo Factory produces generic OmegaCo drones that search for an acceptable reprogramming building. If an OmegaCo drone enters a residential building, it will be reprogrammed into a BuyDrone. The next time the Sims in that building want to leave to go shopping, a BuyDrone will shop for them instead. This effectively lowers the amount of shopping pedestrians and cars travelling on roads in your city, while also growing your OmegaCo subscriber base (and hourly profits).
OmegaCo also produces a line of utilitarian OmegaCo Drone Hangers that can be attached to Large Fire Stations, Hospitals, and Police Precincts. Depending on which hanger an OmegaCo drone enters, the drone will be reprogrammed into either a FireDrone (responds to fires), MediDrone (heals injuries), or LawDrones (catches criminals). Because these drones are not bound to the laws of the road, FireDrones, MediDrones, and LawDrones are extremely efficient at keeping your city running smoothly during emergencies. All of this efficiency comes at a price, as all four drone types will eventually break down after use. Maximizing your OmegaCo Drone Assembly Line’s OmegaCo drone output is the key to keeping your OmegaCo BuyDrone Subscribers happy.
