Drafted pawns are able to be ordered to a precise location. Select a pawn, and right click the desired location. A group of pawns can be sent to one location (simple right click), or ordered to create a line (right click & drag). Multiple orders can be assigned sequentially by holding shift (ex. move to place A then place B). Drafted pawns will remain at their assigned place, ignoring their [[need]]s entirely. This overrides both [[zone]] restrictions and the [[Menus#Assign|threat response setting]]. | Drafted pawns are able to be ordered to a precise location.

Pawns will drop any held items and pawns they were carrying, to make use of their weapon. [[Babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} are a special exception: the first draft will consider a held baby a draft-carried baby, and give a warning. If undrafted, the second draft thereafter will drop the baby. | Pawns will drop any held items and pawns they were carrying, to make use of their weapon.

| + | [[Animals]] cannot be drafted, but those that have been trained in ''[[Animals#Guard|Guard]]'' can be assigned to follow an assigned master whenever they are drafted. This can be toggled in the Animals tab. The animal will ignore zone restrictions to do so, and will attack nearby aggressors. Animals trained in ''Attack'' can also be ordered to chase enemies with the ''Animals Attack'' gizmo. | ||

From there, there is a 25-tile radius from the mechanitor which mechs are allowed to move to, and which mechs must be currently inside in order to give combat commands. Mechs can still be drafted outside of this radius, and will follow their last command. | ||
