Game version 0.90.25 and persists in new patch 0.90.34
Bug description
Drones are now missing or disappeared
Context how bug happened
I set priorities on storages and machines to force drones to clean up most surplus ore, metal and other items stacked up from destruction. Drones were working fine and cleaning up the piles. Then I noticed there was no more activity. I started looking around and saw drones were missing.
If you were able to reproduce bug - steps to reproduce:
No idea how to reproduce this so far. Save files included. I logged out, rebooted, re loaded the save and they are still missing.
If it's repeats after loaded a save - include save files where it's reproducible
Save Files Included

UPDATED: I found missing drones I am attaching screen shots.

I tired to give a progressive zoom example, they were moving across the crater and are stacked in the corner of the crater next to a bright red cube.

This cube persists after complete clear of appdata files, uninstall and re-install. Directly below the red cube, in the underground section is a large section mapped for mining, very corner edge of the underground section. See my posted screenshots below.

Started a new game and this is where the drones stacked up.

I had similar, the workaround to save the game and load it back, then they will come out from their hiding places

That did not correct it for me. Tried all sorts of workarounds. Had to start a new game. That red square is still in my fresh game starts even after uninstalling and reloading the game.

The Appdata folder for the game is very likely not cleared when you re-install it.
In my humble opinion, do not clear it now - a dev might be interested in the files from %LOCALAPPDATA%\TheCrust\

A complete clear of the folder and uninstall and upon re-install, the issue persists. If you go to lower level in this exact spot you will find . . . .

This section cannot be cleared. It also adds artificial light (glow) to this corner of the underground map. The drones are attracted to the edge corner, but up on the surface. Definitely built into the map as far as I can tell.
