Droid Guard Station
Icon: 
The Droid Guard Station is a variant of the Droid Assembler which operates in much the same way (insert droid items, it spawns them) except it has the following additional behaviours:
- It will only spawn droids until there is >= 10 droids in a 16 tile radius (exactly 1 chunk, 32 tiles)
- Any squad created by a droid spawned by a guard station will be considered "Guards" and will NOT automatically go out hunting, no matter how large their squad gets.
- If enough guards die, and the count of nearby droids falls below 10, the station will continue spawning more until it's back to the required amount.
A good strategy for these is to provide some gun turret support (see image above) and fill the guard station with troops and keep it supplied with more droids if there is a lot of action there. Multiple guard stations nearby will NOT help much, except for spawning-speed. They will most likely count the same droids, so the amount of droids in that area will not increase just because there are more guard stations.
