Description
This is my love letter and content addition for the mechanitor playstyle of the biotech DLC.
Ever since the Biotech DLC's release I've dreamed about having a real mechanitor colony.
This (and my other mods) are the try of making that a reality.



This mod is mainly about:
  • controlling how you want to develop your mechanitors. A few skilled ones or a whole colony of low-skilled mechanitors? Choose how to spent your boss-mech-chips!
  • adding a few unique mechanoids
  • adding mechanoid based neutroamine production and additional useage
  • anything I deemed cool enough to put in here

The content of this mod is subject to my liking, it will get tweaked, changed and expanded over time.



Mechanoids




Militors and scrapper can now use mortars just like normal colonist (select the mech and right click the mortar).













Entities




Mechanitor's Tools








Pre-Neutroamine production and industries











Subcored implants
A few implants to control body temperature/pain/robustness with the disadvantage of interference with the immune system.

Subcored clothings
Subcored clothings biocode themself to their first user.





Others








DLC based content:
  • with Royalty: new mortar types for clusters
  • with Ideology: companoid sphere, royal lancer, hightech collar
  • with Anomaly: reshaper, sinistre


Inbuild mod interactions with:

CE?
Thats up to them. Currently CE has its own integrated patch for this mod. I don't have anything to do with it.

Can this be safly added to an ongoing save?
Yes.

Can this be safly removed from an ongoing save?
Probably, with the usual one-time errors for removing a content-adding mod. Back up your saves just in case.

Special thanks to the unofficial rimworld discords modding-channel, the people running it and its precious search function.
Without this awesome community this mod would not exist.

Yes it does.
While it can start up in 1.6, it shows errors.
Without looking to much into it, I can already tell that neurill and the additional royalty mech cluster mortars are broken.
Unless you want to test what breaks and what still works, I would not recommend using this in 1.6 yet.

Does this mod even require a version 1.6 update?

You able to make a small little patch so bandnode expander works with Deadman switch's bandnodes?

Nevermind, [AV] mechanoid orbittal traders already has a setting for that. (allow hijacked mechdrop incident)

That event is part of [AV] mechanoid orbital traders. I'll add a toggle in the next update :)

The mod is great, my only issue is the random events that have an uncontrolled mech drop on the map. If you're not planning to have a mechanitor colony and it goes rogue it just serves as an annoyance. Perhaps the event can be toggled with a mod menu?

@Veltaris thank you for your response!

I'm unsure if toggling it to work on psychicly deaf mechs would cause any other problems instead. Usually their is a reason for 0 psychic sensitivity (even if that reason is just balance).
As I am working on a bigger update for this mod, I'll not look into this in the near future.

However if you want to switch it yourself you can do so easily!
Find the mod folder for this mod and look at 1.5\Defs\Apparel_Utility.xml
Find the first <onlyTargetPsychicSensitive>true</onlyTargetPsychicSensitive> and change true to false. Should you mess something up that way, you can always unsubscribe and resubscribe to redownload the mod.

The hacking lance works on non-vanilla mechs, when they meet the conditions:
- you have enough charges for their bandwidth
- their bandwidth does not exceed the limit in the mod settings (default 3 | max 5)
- they are not a boss
- have psychic sensitivity

Mechs from Dead Man's Switch have 0 psychic sensitivity, so any of the vanilla lances won't work on them as well. I'm assuming that this is wanted by the creators of Dead Man's Switch.
