Remote Controller

Remote Controller is a building used to reduce a colony’s commute time. By helping Duplicants travel more efficiently, it shortens the time spent moving between work sites, living areas, and other destinations across the base.

Its main value is in improving daily productivity rather than changing the tasks themselves. When travel takes less time, Duplicants spend more of their day working and less of it walking, which helps keep schedules tighter and base operations smoother. This makes Remote Controller especially useful in larger colonies where long paths can waste a noticeable portion of the day.

In practice, it is a convenience and efficiency tool: the more sprawling the colony becomes, the more valuable reduced movement time becomes. It does not replace planning, but it supports good layout design by reducing the penalty for longer routes.
