Is it possible to hack machines ?

[Ģ◊иℤ◊⚡ℤ∀муpΛй]

I wonder if its possible to hack machines to make them friendly or even ride on some of them, would remind me to ARK tame some dino to attack a bigger one and so on.

yes

As far as I know you can hack all of them and make them side with you without being hostile towards you. However, you can only ride Striders.

You can only make them fight for you, but they do not have an advanced body guard system that makes them follow you

You start out being able to override a few types of 'creatures' and you can learn how to do more.

Wait, can you override the T-Rex!?

Yes, but you have to unlock the ability to override specific robot types from a side activity. But you can hack almost every robot type in the game IIRC.

Like any game like this there is very little you can do when you start. You learn abilities and aquire equipment as you go along.

Every robotic animal/enemy is able to be overridden (hacked) with the exception of the "daemonic" variants.

The Strider, Broadhead, and Charger are also mountable when overridden

Play the game and find out...

You can hack the machines to fight for you, in game it's called "override". At the beginning of the game, you can only override some of them but if you do some side quests, more will be unlocked. At the end, you can override the T-Rex one. Even so, only some of them are mountable and able to fight for you, while other can only fight. For which cannot be mounted, there are also a time limit on them to decide when they become normal again.

you gain the ability to hack different types after beating each cauldron or whatever those were called. iirc, there 4 in base game and I think one in the dlc lands. one you come to as you learn about those early into the main story, the dlc one iirc was also lead into through the frozen wilds' story. I think the rest I had to find myself, though one othe rmay have been in a later base game story mission but it's been a while so I'm not certain on that.

I think I could never hack the 'boss types', like the gigantic thunder lizards or the thunderbird types. I know some bigger, rather mid sized I eventually could hack. But the ones i could mount were the smaller four legged, more sensibly mountable ones like the zebra/horse looking ones early game and iirc one of the ram looking types I also rode. I only remember riding those two, and I think a skill a later unlocked through a skillpoint also brought me either a horse or ram looking one when I used it so that i didn't need to go around hacking another one if I lost it.

ah crap now that I think about it, maybe that came from the last cauldron. I'm gonna have to look that up now to be sure.

Damn it sounds great, still i hope the game is moddable would be great if they also defend you and follow you around like one at a time would have a big impact i think.
