Drones : Drones work like other citizens, but if a base has more Drones than Talents, a Drone Riot may result. During Drone Riots, citizens will continue to feed themselves, but no production will take place and no surplus energy will be produced. To end the Drone Riots, you will have to restore the balance of Drones and Talents.

Drone Riots can be prevented (or ended) by one of several methods:

1. building psych-related facilities such as Recreation Commons will reduce the number of Drones at the base
2. if your Social Engineering Police rating is high enough, you can place military units in your base to serve as "police" and impose order
3. Converting some Workers to Doctors will increase the number of Talents, balancing out the Drones
4. if your base produces enough energy, increasing your energy allocation to Psych will increase the number of talents at your base (one Talent for every two points of Psych produced), thereby restoring balance.
5. All of the following Secret Projects deal with Drone control, either through direct removal of Drones or the addition of Talents or Police powers:
1. Ascetic Virtues
2. Clinical Immortality
3. Human Genome Project
4. Longevity Vaccine
5. Planetary Transit System
6. Telepathic Matrix
7. Virtual World

Talents are created as the result of favorable social conditions and the diversion of energy to Psych. As long as a base has at least as many talents as Drones, no Drone Riots will occur.
