</>What does Drone Overdrive do?
Your drones do the tidying while you plan your next move — so why not make them brilliant at it? Drone Overdrive winds up every drone you own in one go: the vacuum drones, the jackhammer drones, and the air-filter drones all get faster, wider reach, and a stronger pull. Set a single Drone Power dial from gentle to wild, flip the switch, and watch the cleanup keep rolling even when your attention is elsewhere. Nudge the dial higher any time and your drones speed up on the spot. Turn the switch off and they settle right back to their normal pace. Great for busy stages with sludge everywhere, for keeping a region ticking over while you focus on the tricky spots, or just for the satisfying sight of a swarm of drones making short work of a filthy map.

</>Common questions about Drone Overdrive
What does Drone Overdrive do in Sludgineers?
Drone Overdrive is a premium ProjectMods mod for Sludgineers that turns your little helper drones into a cleanup powerhouse. Your drones do the tidying while you plan your next move, so this mod makes them brilliant at it. Flip it on and every drone you own winds up at once — the vacuum drones, the jackhammer drones and the air-filter drones all get faster, gain wider reach and pull grime in harder. A single Drone Power dial controls how hard they push. It's built for busy stages with sludge everywhere, for keeping a region ticking over while you focus elsewhere, or just for the joy of watching a swarm make short work of a filthy map.
Which drones does Drone Overdrive affect?
Drone Overdrive boosts every drone you own in Sludgineers, not just one type. That means your vacuum drones, your jackhammer drones and your air-filter drones all get wound up together the moment you flip the switch. Each of them gains more speed, wider reach and a stronger pull, so whichever mix of drones you've built up, the whole fleet levels up at once. There's no need to pick a favourite or toggle types individually — one Drone Power dial drives the entire squad. This is handy on messy stages where you've got different drones tackling sludge, solid rock and airborne smog at the same time, because every one of them speeds up together and keeps the whole map clearing without you micromanaging any single drone.
How does the Drone Power dial work?
Drone Power is the single dial that decides how hard your Sludgineers drones push, expressed as a multiplier. Set it to 3 and your drones become three times as speedy, far-reaching and thirsty for grime; slide it higher for even more. The dial is live — nudge it up mid-run and your drones speed up on the spot. Keep it low for a modest boost that still feels like a real upgrade, or crank it right up when a stage is drowning in sludge and you want the fleet clearing at full tilt. One dial covers speed, reach and pull together, so a single change scales every part of your drones' performance at once.
What does turning Drone Overdrive off do?
The Drone Overdrive Enabled switch is a clean, reversible master toggle in Sludgineers. Turn it on to supercharge every drone by your chosen Drone Power; turn it off and your whole fleet settles right back to its normal pace, exactly as the game ships. Because the switch is separate from the Drone Power dial, you can keep your favourite multiplier set and simply flip the boost on when a stage gets messy, then off when you want the vanilla rhythm back. Nothing about the change is permanent — disabling it returns your drones to standard speed, reach and pull immediately. That makes Drone Overdrive easy to keep on tap for the big jobs and switched off for the ones you'd rather clean at a natural pace.
When is Drone Overdrive most useful in Sludgineers?
Drone Overdrive is at its best on big, filthy Sludgineers stages where sludge is everywhere and you want the cleanup rolling even when your attention is elsewhere. Because your drones keep working while you plan your next move, winding them up means a region can keep clearing itself while you focus on the tricky manual spots. It's also just satisfying to watch a supercharged swarm demolish a messy map in a fraction of the usual time. Pair it with Super Suction to boost your own vacuum alongside the fleet, or with Power Tools for a fully upgraded cleanup crew. When you'd rather direct the operation than sweat every blob yourself, Drone Overdrive does the heavy lifting for you.
