Increase Base Bandwidth

Description
Increases the base amount of bandwidth a mechlink provides to 99 and increases the number of control groups to 9. For those who want a lot of mechs with none of the space related consequences.

WARNING

If you use Tweaks Galore, which I give 3 thumbs up, enabling Mechanitor tweaks will likely break this mod. You will still be able to continue, but mechlinks will no longer provide the bases my mod dictates. If you accidentally Enable Mechanitor Tweaks, you will need to disable them and restart Rimworld to regain the 99 bandwidth and 9 groups.

This mod is incompatable with anything that directly alters the mechlink's bandwidth or group count.

Just to clarify, 99 and 9 are completely arbitrary numbers that I picked for fun. It should be high enough that you never need to take extra steps to increase bandwidth.

Is it safe to add this mod to a saved game?

Assuming you have dev mode on, under the "health" section click "Dev Tool" then "Add hediff" then search Mechlink. Each one you add will give +99. But you can not stack it on the same limb so for example I did Head, Neck, Jaw, Brain, Heart. Giving me a total of 495 Bandwidth.

For those of you rich sociopaths that dont think 99 bandwidth is enuf, you can go into your rimworld mods, press advanced, press open files, press 1.5 / 1.4 (whichever your playing) and then go through until you see increase base bandwidth patch, click that, look through the notepad, and then you should see "base bandwidth/99/" or something. you can change that 99 to 100, 1000, 1, 500, whatever you want, (this will create a freaky graphic ig but who cares?)

Very good mod so that I don't have to waste materials to build a broadband antenna

I did make a Mechanitor Genes mod that allows you to add genes that multiply various mechanitor stats, including some that increase bandwidth.

The highest level in that one is 250%, which should put you around 247, and if you want to go all in Expanded Archite Genes adds archite level mech control genes if the mechanitor mod is enabled, which brings the highest level to 400%, or around 396 bandwidth, excluding other enhancers.

I do wish the mod would offer an option to increase it further, but I still appreciate the mod. :)

With Combate extended you can never go wrong with to many shotguns

That's why you need two Mechanitors with bandwidth packs. Then you can have 200 millitors! Sure you could build other mechanoids with that kind of bandwidth, but how many of those have shotguns.
