[Luxcerv]

Having trouble utilising or understanding how the mod works, I've made the workers move next to mass (as they ONLY seemed to want to reclaim energy) and they haven't touched it, they simply afk waiting for nothing after this (They are cloaked and "waiting")

[Uveso]

They are waiting as long as you have 100% energy and mass inside your storage.
Now if you consume energy or mass, they will collect what you need most. (lower storage in %)

The drones will then return to your base after filling your storage (100% energy and mass).

And you can stop the drones from collecting, if you decloak them.

Don't know what i can say more. Just build the small drone factory, and anything else is working automatically.
