Surviving Mars - Drones are broken

Description
Drones are broken

What is your game version?
Original

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.

EDIT: Discard underlined areas. After playing more, that's just the mechanics of the game you need to work around, little annoying, but it's the game. Nothing is broken on my end.
The comments below do seem to be real problems though.

Later in the game, about 30-40 soles. As you gain more buildings they require repair, they never get repaired. Also, when trying to mine metal deposits in the distance, all they do is make a pile next to it... its worthless. Plus- they only do it once.

The rover cannot seem to carry anything besides the drones, as of which if your drones are carrying anything, they'll drop it when they enter the rover. This makes the game borderline unplayable when you don't have a mine near your original dome placement.

Little suggestion, reach out to the devs of Factorio for proper automation techniques.

Can you replicate the issue?
Every game that doesn't have convenient mines.

I can confirm the drones getting stuck. Have about 50 drones, 2×20 (HUB) + 10 Rover + 3-4 on one ship. Had to restart the map because at some point 90% of drones decided to sit idle while buildings stopped working for lack of maintenance.

Before this I reassigned drones that came with the ships to either the hubs or the rover, but they were ok for a while (everyone was doing some work).

This is a game breaking bug, please fix it.

Also, please let us select multiple drones for reassignement, as well as selecting one or multiple drones and assiging to task manually (or at least a way of reseting the work cues).

Overall, really nice game so far. As expected, it will take a bit of time to iron out all the bugs but I am confident you guys will do it.

The drone pathing is pretty wonky, too. I just quit a game because all of my drones, regardless where they came from - hubs, rovers or rockets, would get stuck on a ledge and be unable to turn back the way they came. I had something like 20 drones stuck in one small area, all flashing red and orange because they were running out of battery and yet couldn't get back to their homes. Really unfortunate to have to deal with this
