Description

Content

This mod adds two buildings that let the player install a variety of upgrades onto their mechanoids.

Process

Build the upgrader [either the basic or large variant depending on which mechanoids you want to upgrade].
Select the desired mode [standard being the default one].
Deliver the necessary resources [done automatically by haulers].
Select the mechanoid that you want to give the upgrade to [it will either enter on its own or get carried into it].
Wait for the upgrade cycle to finish, the mechanoid will be released upon its completion.

Details

The base upgrader only accepts light and medium class mechanoids, while the large one is for heavy and ultra-heavy classes.
Most upgrades can be improved further by putting a mechanoid through the same upgrade cycle repeatedly until its maximum level is reached.
Upgrade cycles that require the use of the large variant take twice as long.
There are a few toggleable options besides the mode selection.
When an upgraded mechanoid dies, it will drop a new kind of slag that can be smelted in order to recover roughly 60-75% of the materials used for the upgrade.
Loss of electricity halts the upgrade process.
Currently the upgrades might...wary in terms of balance, I’m open to suggestions on this one.

List of upgrades

Compatibility

Should be compatible with all modded mechanoids as long as they have a brain [that’s where the hediff goes] and they fit Biotech’s 4 weight classes. Ones not fitting the class requirement should in the worst-case scenario simply not be able to receive an upgrade.
I’m not exactly sure how well it works with CE [haven’t personally tested it, I don’t use CE ¯\_(ツ)_/¯] but I’ve been told that armor and EMP resistance upgrades end up being less effective when used alongside it, other than that there should be no bugs or errors.

Future plans

Balance adjustments
Compatibility fixes [when necessary] and additions.
Unique sound effects.

@Ruggedgolem if you checked the discussion thread, you'd see that the 1.5 update will be included in the V3 Update

This mod hasn't been updated in over a year, probably gonna have to wait for someone else to necro since it seems as though the mod author isn't going to continue it.
