A Magnetic Drone will take the treasure to safety, unless the previous spot is also radiation/lava. Keep in mind it will take a while for a drone to pull a lot of treasures.A Healing Drone will heal Basic Drones while they collect, but if both spots next to the trap are also danger, they can also die unless chained/coupled (see below). This has the complication of synchronizing both drones, since Healing Drone is much faster.You can create a "bridge" over a deathtrap using the "claim" mechanic. If, for example, your Basic Drones can carry 4 treasures, and there are 3 treasures over lava, and there is a Basic going there loaded with treasure, you can send a Basic to the death (from the entrance, directly to the danger zone). The new drone will claim the existing treasures and start collecting them, so if the loaded drone reaches the danger before the new drone dies, it will see no treasure to be had and it will cross happily. This, too, requires tight synchro. Magnetic Drones[]Magnetic drones take a lot of fuel, and cannot carry treasures. So they are advanced drones, to be used strategically. They have two main uses: Pulling treasure out of deathtrapsBefore doing this, ask yourself, Is it lava? Can I fix it with a flying drone? If yes, use flying, not magnetic. Both faster and simpler.Take into account that pulling more treasures takes more time.If the Magnetic Drone needs to stand over lava/radiation itself (chained deathtrap), you'll probably need a Healing Drone to help. In that case, two coupled Healing Drones could be better, if you have enough fuel at the same same. If you do not, you'll need to chain two Magnetic Drones. Take the pulling time into account when you send them.Cleanup of side branches.This is tricky. First, you have to make sure the magnetic drone does not create a deathtrap by itself. For this, you need to explore first (exploring with the magnetic drone all but guarantees you will end up creating a trap). And then you have to remove any treasure from side branches of danger nodes (with previous runs of basic or flying drones). Remember: If the path of the magnetic drone goes over a treasure, you can ignore it for this calculation.After this, you need to calculate how may treasures you will pull off (remember to discount the ones you need to
