A detailed record of all changes can be found in the “Changelog” tab. Please check there

Current mod version: 1.1.1-Specter-rev1
Supports Rimworld version: 1.4



This is heavily WIP. Expect changes, fixes and more down the line!



”I'm Sorry Dave, I'm Afraid I Can't Do That!"

“Gestalt Engine” is a standalone and improved version of the one found in “Reinforced Mechanoids 2”. It allows the player to control mechanoids without the need for a mechanitor. On top this version also adds a new mechanoid, the Matriarch, which can gestate new mechanoids.

Every aspect of it was made to fit into Rimworld perfectly. From the artstyle, do the way it works. For people who disagree with my balancing, the mod includes extensive mod options to tweak it to your liking!








There are no patches needed as of now.



Some often asked questions, answered already.

Q: Can I used this and Reinforced Mechanoids 2?
A: Yes, you should. Please load this after it.

Q: Is this mod save game compatible?
A: Yeah! You can’t remove it after you add it though!

Q: Is this mod compatible with Combat Extended?
A: Most likely yes! I think?



The people without this mod could not have been made:

Taranchuk: Responsible for the code that makes this beauty work.

Rimworld is owned by Tynan Sylvester.
Based on the books by Richard K. Morgan, check them out, they are great!

Does it work with 1.5?

I think the Independence mechanoid mod caused the problems. the matirach now gestates mechs

Is it compatible with SOS2? I mean, can I install engine on a ship?

The Matriarch does not have "repair mechanoids" as a work type, I assume it is supposed to since the description says "maintaining and gestating". Not even on a dev quickstart world with the following mod list.
Harmony
Core
Biotech
Vanilla Expanded Framework
Gestalt Engine

While I am here, could we get a mod option to remove the non-mech gestation/repair related work types, like crafting, and since you have been able to remove specific "work activities" from a "work type" possibly even "make weapons" and "fabricate things", and everything in hauling that doesn't have to do with subcores?

With the gestalt engine can I play a colony without colonists (only mechanoids) and will the game let me have a colony or map with zero colonists, or do I need at least one colonist to keep something rolling.

for the scenario I'm making, may I use images made based on your images for my gestalt engine addon?

(as I'm basically "just figured out how to make it work, I want to release it!", i'll do that, and use "better to ask for forgivness"

Don't worry, you are getting 105% of the credit (I'm getting -5%)"

is there a way to have a gestalt engine start?

I disassembled the band node that was tuned to the engine and all control buttons disappeared. When I built it again everything was restored. Bandwidth not exceeded.
