Alternative Sapper AI (Deprecated)

Description
This experimental mod modifies Sapper AI and removes some of their original limitations to make them behave differently.

Currently deprecated since Breacher introduced in 1.3 does similar thing.

Mod features (for 1.1):
- All humanlike pawns with mining skill above 4 can be delegated to sapper role, not just melee.
- Raiders assigned to escort role can attack nearby non-wall constructed objects instead of just wandering, when given no other things to do after following the sapper.
- Sappers only have 20% chance to avoid turrets. Can be adjusted at mod settings.

I'd like to try this if this ever gets updated for 1.3...

@ Spürgelwürg
It sounds like you managed to update it for 1.3, right? Have you considered sharing your changes somewhere? Maybe create a branch on the github source or create a fork?

@Jace K Once you're satisfied with the build of the mod, will you be uploading your patch onto the Steam Workshop?

Just want to add to the people that find this mod a way more elegant solution to sappers than what vanilla did. I haven't experienced much of 1.3 yet tho. I think the thump cannon and Breach axe stuff might be a bit much is what I dislike. Already found sapper raid annoying enough back then, but now it seems they make even quicker work of walls at the same time that they magically detect all our turrets and defenses. I used to just play with the mod that disables sappers altogether until I found this mod so yeah. This is very much good work! Can't thank you enough. Will be still playing 1.2 for a while.

Glad to be of help :steamthumbsup:

Thank you, and I think I got it to work. No errors or anything. Not too sure though if everything works exactly is it's supposed to. But I think they don't dig pointlessly through mountains they just can walk around, so thats enough for me.

Would be cool if you could upload the source for this on github or somewhere. I have barely any Idea of coding, but I would like to try anyway, if you find yourself not having the time.

Huh, I've deprecated this mod because Breacher does most of my changes made here, but since there's demand I'll see how easy it is to make 1.3 update when I have the time (no guarantees).

I'm also williing to hand over this mod to anyone who want to create 1.3 version.

I too love this mod and hope this is gonna get an update for 1.3. Really bothers me what the vanilla ai does.

When I saw this mod wasn't updated I was devastated... guess I'll have to deal with sappers tunneling through my mountains until it is updated to 1.3
