Robot # 207
Terrarian
The Fabrication Drone follows up on the objective marker that it set for itself, moving to where the Mortar got showered in Sparks and burnt to a Wreck.
Now, you might expect it to just... I dunno absorb the wreck into energy and then remake it, but No, that's not what happens.
The Fabricator Beams shoot out from the Square Lens Face of the Drone, they move over one of the panels on the wreck and eventually... turn it back into raw unburnt Metal Plates.
This continues for many of the components, targeting computer into chips and circuits, ammo back into shells and gunpowder, etc, turning Salvage into Raw Materials and Simpler Components like Subnautica's Fabricator.
And then, when it finally Reprocesses all of the Wreck's Salvage, it drags some of the looser parts into the pile, then it once again Fabricates the Mortar, though this time there's material already there to Refine and Assemble, which makes the Mortar Turret, Slightly stronger than before.
That might not make sense, but the Fabrication Drone made the Mortar from nothing before, so making it from Something this time...
Anyway, it observes the Frenzy that the Vein of Madness has put everything into, so it sets the objective markers appropriately
The Mortar Turret has a Target Marker on the Group of Voidlings, and then a Subsequent follow up marker on the Hordes.
The Attack Drones get a single Target Marker on the Shambler
Finally, The Spike Launcher also gets one marker on the Void Eater
The Fabrication Drone then Beeps and Boops at Alaphet, punctuating with some Electronic Noises, The Message is interpretable as emphasizing the danger posed by entities that get stronger with increasing Casualties.
ALAPHET probably has enough intelligence to prioritize the enemy that has the most attack by the time his turn rolls around, he only has to choose between the Viral and the Void Eater, so it should be a simple matter.
Edit: Of course when both of those very targets are vaporized, the Fabrication Drone... only manages to Tone a "RECOMMENDATION NULL, INITIATIVE REQUIRED, OPPORTUNITY SEARCH"
With Zet The Fabrication Drone Beep Boops at him with something like interpreting the structural deficiencies of the enemy machine.
Attempting to perhaps guide the Heartless, The Fabrication Drone flies down next to it and points its Fabricator Lasers at the Patchwork, then the Necro Golem.
[Shield Generator 2/6]
+1 to @Fluxxation, in the form of the Fabrication Drone Projecting a Lighting Rod that it then Fabricates on to Eschaton

...then again, it doesn't need to sustain the reaction, so perhaps other designs are available?
OOC: Guess the Fabrication Drone has basic pincers now, it makes sense I guess, but now I'm just thinking about how this character got so far without me mentioning it doing anything that implied it had any form of manipulator...
Probably because all of its previous games died too quickly I guess.

Edit:
The Fabrication Drone inspects this... Testament of Fusion Power, it decides that the power of a Star in the grasp of its Claw, will be just the thing it needs for a Miniature Fusion ReactorOne of the suns, surprisingly safe to touch, lands in the Fabrication Drone's pincers. (+1 to Robot #207)
