CPU Units. Equipping them to skeletons. A thought.

[Kittentheboss]

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a mod that made skeletons equip 5 cpu units (or one). (Like the limbs button in the inventory) and putting a normal cpu unit in the slot(s) give a 1% xp gain bonus but the cpu units of The ashlands give special buffs. For example the head of agriculture's cpu would give a farming xp bonus of 50% and having all 5 of those basically making the ultimate skeleton. just a thought. Or mabey make the cpu units in the ashlands like the meitou weapons where you have to find them there and they are the best of that class cpu and there are 5 to choose from. idk spit ballin here.

Cool idea. Unfortunately Kenshi does not have mechanics for this. You can only attach armor, back bags, weapons and spare limbs. If the CPU would take on one of those attachment points you would not be able to use that point for its original use for that character. And if it was a limb, then it would take literally the limb's place and the char would look like it has no hand or a leg (this is inbuilt Kenshi mechanics).

Also we do not have the tools to make an attachment that would give bonuses to mental stats, the spare limbs can only give bonuses to physical stats. And if the CPU took the limb's space it would just be a different looking limb. Same goes with back bags. They can give only slight bonus to two physical stats (encumbrance and athletics).

There just is no item that has mental bonuses in FCS that we could use.

Again, cool thought though

the CPU could be a special item that just goes inventory, then it could trigger passive dialogue and that can have other results related to robot type of stuff.. the problem i have is the system scans my entire squads inventory so if the item is in anyones inventory it unlocks dialogue- i want it to just unlock for the PC holding the item.. not sure if that can be done tho.

but that could be solved by making the dialogue only trigger to skeletons.

it would not be able to reward XP but it could reward other stuff

Yeah in many many cases Kenshi treats all Player Character as an unit, it is really hard to have individual unique things happen
