Prototech drill problem.

I reported vanishing drills on signal events before.

It happened again 2 days in a row, i lost 2 drills and i think we figured out why.

You included Proto drills in the drill server limit, 5 per person.

I did 2 signals in 2 days, both drills, i atached multiple survival kits to both. Both vanished.

One right before my eyes when the signal timer expired, and i did claim the whole grid before that.

There was no other player that could have claimed and deleted the grid, aliens didnt obduct it, dog didnt eat it like the homework.

Now, singe everybody has their (absurdly low number ) 5 drills built and you cant be expected to gridn your drills from a miner before you jump to a signal, just in case its a drill i propose you create some kind of a time limited extra PCU pool.

For example make its so a player can temporarrily claim 1-2 more drills for a time period of a couple hours. That would give them time enough to grind down some normal drills and than fully claim the proto one.

Edit, this was on steam EU2, i have claimed the complete grid, i didnt not delete any thingh, i was salvaging the drill with my small ship when the timer expired and it vanished, i did not hit it against a grid or a voxel, there was no other player that could have claimed it before my eyes, as i was there all the time. There was also a small grid jump drive, on which i have also placed a survival kit, claimed it, and ground off its magnet, and it survived when timer expired.

I have it in my base now.
