Siphon drones are things your Character can carry, when attached to something, will suck out Minerals, Liquids and/or Energy.
They can later be Tapped into to drain these Resources to supply a Character.
Of course this process can also act in reverse to infuse something with Resources as well.*
This can be by direct contact or through a Tether.
-
A Tether is a pipe or cable that connects a Character to the Siphon Drone.
However, the Tether is likely to get stuck on things.
This hinders the ability to use it around corners.
Tethers can also be Tapped into themselves.
-
If you have Feed Powers however the Tether will pass through most objects.
It only gets caught on Bundles of Nerves and Wires.
Organic Life has Bundles of Nerves except for Plants, Bacteria, Fungus and Coral.
Circuit Boards, TV Screens, Speakers, Microphones, Electronic Cameras, Electric Motors and Electric Heaters have Bundles of Wires.
Feed Tethers can have slight Resource reduction when passing through other things if they contain Polar Molecules or Metal.
These can also potentially transfer a small amount of the Resources through them as well.*
-
Siphon Drones can also be placed on or near Surfaces and have Tethers that travel through or along the walls, floors and ceilings.
This means Tethers don't get in the way and in some cases the Tethers move along inside the surface where they are hard to
into.
This ability in particular is a default skill for Feed Powers.
The Siphon Drones in this case can't move very far at all from the surface they are Tethered to without moving the Tether.
However the Character end of the Tether (the Character Plug) can be detached and attached to other Characters.
though only when the Character in ponder reaches the location of the Plug.
Leaving it unattended isn't a
idea as enemies can also use it.
However it's useful to supply a fortification without needing to go outside to collect Resources.
-
*This has limited functionality in ATBE, though other Albion title don't have that problem.
-
also Mekan buffs, yay.
-
siphon farming makes everything chemical-wise super easy.
takes longer though much less hassle.
