Battle Stations

Battle Stations Stop micromanaging your defense. Assign once, deploy in a single click. When a raid hits, every second spent drafting survivors and dragging them into position is a second your colony is bleeding. Battle Stations lets you assign each survivor and robot a defensive post ahead of time, then send them there instantly — drafted and ready to fight — with one action.

When ordered to report, a unit moves to the station for its current work area. If that area has no station, it falls back to its global station. If a unit has no global station at all, it will not be drafted or recalled. Recall an entire area: every work area flag gains a Recall to battle stations action that su
