Machine Shipset

Description
The Automated Dreadnought guardian is a beautiful ship. Which makes it a shame that it's one of a kind and that there aren't many other ships in its style.
Until now!

Behold machine ships, a fully sectioned shipset!

Machine Ships adds a new shipset in the stellaris game style. Rather than pull from some movie series or game, these ships are designed with the stellaris lore and style in mind. The shipset is accessable from the empire creation ship menu screen. It contains high quality models and ships of all kinds, including the following:

-Corvettes
-Destroyers
-Cruisers
-Battleships
-Titans
-Juggernaut
-Colossus
-Science vessel
-Stations
-Construction ships
-Megastructures!
-Even a city set by PSIONIC(creator of United Fleet)


Unlike most other shipset mods on the workshop, Machine Ships is FULLY SECTIONED meaning that all of the ship classes are made of different section and module variants. A large update that overhauls all of the models is on its way.
Don't forget to upvote/favourite! It's the easiest way to support me as a mod creator as it provides the motivation to create. Less than 3% of the mod's subs vote for it positively which does get depressing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Achievements?
No.

Does the mod support NSC?
Partially! NSC support is currently iffy as I need to do some fixes (they changed everything :p)

Does the mod work with Downscaled Ships, Real Space System Scale or Aesthetic Cinematic Gameplay?
Yes, there is a patch on my workshop page.

Does the mod work with Realistic ships?
Yep, compatibility is inbuilt.

Why is the dyson sphere so garbage?
You tell me.

Habitats appear black
I know - I have not been able to replicate it on my end at all and thus cannot fix it.

IF THE MOD OR SHIPSET DO NOT SHOW UP:
Check your error.log to make sure the mod files have been found. If it reads anything like "Could not find files for mod" then some numbers, that's the paradox launcher at work. According to the Paradoxplaza, the solution is deleting the mods_registry.json file and all the ugc numbered.mod files.


AS FOUND BY NIHIL!
"I found you, you damnable saboteur!
launcher-v2.sqlite
This one singular piece of code is the only reason as to why this mod didn't want to work for me.
Removing it did the trick, the mod works perfectly once more.
If the mod shows up in the launcher, yet doesn't do so in the actual game, then look up that bit of code in your stellaris folder, and remove it."




Currently working on fixing things, I don't play stellaris any more (I dislike the direction 3.0+ took the game) but I'm workin on it :p

@wayneofwilson Unfortunately the 4.0 update killed the motivation of many moders, If anyone is to blame is paradox...
MightyThor769 Feb 4 @ 10:17am 
update please

Is this mod gonna update or what?
idkynot Jan 25 @ 10:11pm 
quick question is there anyway to make other shipsets use the megastructure models(e.g: the vanilla machine shipset)
any advice would be appreciated

This is probably the best looking custom shipset I've seen on the workshop, really looking forward to the NSC patch

Still love this mod even though they released their own official machine stuff

Here's hoping the updates to the game stop breaking this mod for a bit. Easily my favourite shipset, especially with NSC3. sadly playing both together (last time I tried anyway) was very broken.

well, here's hoping that things will go well, I really love this shipset, specifically the orbital habitat being a small ring, it's really unique, it also is very fitting for one of my machine intelligence empires.

yea having updates break things every two months is a bit frustrating :p

I'm thinking many shipset modders will want to save their energy for 4.3 at this point. Paradox is outpacing the modding community more than usual with their successive patches releasing several times per year.
