I long for a day this is updated. or at least has its source code shared...

1.5 pls

please update if possible

It's a huge shame this wasn't updated to 1.4. I find other mods that do late game weaponry and items just doesn't hold up to this. Does anyone know if a very similar mod?

I love this mod, will there be a 1.4 upgrade?

Please update it to 1.4, I need this content

Please update to 1.4. love this mod!

1.4 plz

Please update it to 1.4. I love this mod!

I can't wait for this mod to be updated to 1.4!

i have a bio attack from the watchers on my base cuz of this mod. the bio attacks never ends.......

@RightTy, yeah it's this mod. Your animals wake up after the raids.

Is this the mod making my animals sleep? (Forced sleep), if so, they're now waking up after the raid :(

The mod has a very good intention behind it. However, in its current state it feels like more of an experiment, a mid-way experiment. Why? Because there's no art for the items introduced (just colorized existing art), and the ideas behind the majority of introduced new items - is just "improved Xsomething" - a bit better stats, a bit havier cost to try to balance it out, and that's it. All in all it feels like "a little bit more of what you already have in abundance".

Would love to see a more refined version of this though. With conceptually new weapons/items/mechanics.

So everything was going good. I got 3 watcher outposts popping up telling me kill them or raids would be larger. I killed them all. Now I sit, no redmatter to develop with and no targets but it still says 'Watcher Outposts' on the right message side of screen. Not sure what to do from here.

any ways to make it compatible with combat extended ? plaing with CE + ER and it's working , just the ammo feature not working on this mod weapons

Wow thanks!

Updated for 1.3

1.3 update?

Yes it's on the very first nanotech project. You get a watcher raid, and then you should have a letter (a message at the bottom right) starting the "quest". (It's not an actual quest since the mod was developed before quests existed, it's more a game condition like the volcano ash thing)

If you're not getting the "quest" you probably have a mod conflict. Sorry, there's no way to trigger it, and it might not be a good idea anyway if you have a mod conflict somewhere.

So the trigger is on the actual nanotech research projects? Because I've been through a couple of long runs and was holding off on doing the Nanotech research until I got a pretty good base and at least charge guns, but then after researching ALL the Nanotech research projects...nothing happened. Got like 1 Watcher raid, but never triggered the "you are being targeted by the Watchers for some reason" event thing...
So basically, is there a option somewhere in the Dev mode that can manually trigger the Watcher quest line? If its somewhere in the Blind-inducing menus I'll look for it but it gives me a headache just looking at it.

Basically, you'd like the Watchers quest to begin later? It actually isn't tied to the amount of research you've done (that would be for the reverse engineering for the redmatter tab), it depends on researching the Nanotech research node.

Question, is there any way I can change the Watcher quest line trigger to occur for researching Ultratech instead of Spacer? trying to space out all of my mods' research out to emphasize each tech level (which can improve over time). trying to make this mod be the ultra tech part of the game with the watchers being the problem (separate from the Vanilla factions mechanoids mod which would be the spacer tech level problem)

Thanks a ton for the super fast patch!!! I really appreciate it!

ooh it just unlocked. Your patch worked 100%

Is there any way to force reveal the research tree for it in dev mode or something? I have a decent stockpile of redmatter I've been saving till I can use it and I'd really rather not have it go to waste

Very odd, you should've unlocked the tab long ago. I pushed an update to unlock it after a shipment, if it's not unlocked yet.

I don't wanna spoil anything in the comments but I can't currently fight the watchers as I'm end game and waiting to see if "they will be true to their word". Do I just gotta wait to see if their lying or not? Cause I have been getting redmatter shipments for a while

The redmatter tab isn't present by default in research, to unlock it you need to defeat a watcher raid after having completed enough Spacer-level research.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to craft items with redmatter. Does anyone know how to? If so I would greatly appreciate some advice

Updated, these errors should be fixed.

I'm getting some errors and heavy lags under gunfights. Some guys on RimThreaded Discord pointed out that it was Expanded Rims causing the lags.
Could you please have a look?

Seems to be working fine, this mod simply adds new mechanoids to the existing mecha faction, while Expanded Mechanoid appears to add its own faction.

would this be compatable with the Vanilla Expanded Mechanoid improvements since this mod also adds its own mechanoids?

Gotchya, thanks!

Thanks! Just build it and it will passively increase your ore yields.

Hi! Lovin the mod so far! How does the Ore Purifier work? I don't understand how to use it. Thanks!

I am pretty sure i do, but as none of the logs what tehy are trying to do it is hard to say.

I fund a workaround though. First i tried to force a raid with the achievemtn mod. While this did trigger a watcher raid it, it did not finish the "quest", but got stuck on saying that the watcher give up and leave a few times, but no progress. What did work was spawning a watcher raid with the dev console. This raid did trigger the next step (research) and it seems to have unstuck the progress over all, as the bio and another raid did trigger so far. Maybe the first raid just takes forever to start or something, though it is strange to not have any raid for probably a few years.

Sorry, if you don't have any error I can't really help, do you have a mod that might impact how raids happen?

Not since i got to the "Watcher Outposts" step. Before that it was fine, but since that point i only get raids that are triggered by quest, absolutely nothing else. I am sure it is some combination of mods, but i am not getting any obvious errors or hints what it might be.

The special raid should "replace" your next raid, are you getting raids in your game?

Hi, i am stuck, like one of the psots sdome time ago, on the waiting part of the "Watcher outposts". By now i have destroyed al l3 of them, as jsut nothing happens. Not the big raid, not any raid at all. I suspect it might be an issue with anothe mod, but i have no idea if there is any way to find out which and if there is a fix, as the game is rather boring now. What is the actual trigegr condition for the big raid, as i feel that is blocking everything else now.

Expanded Rims
Diseases Overhauled

Thank you i knew exactly what mod is was with your info. Your mod solo creates zero error, with "Diseases Overhauled" it creates the error.

I checked the errors list, and I don't think my mod is causing your issue. The error is followed by this:

Config error in RWE_WoundInfectionNasty: Verse.HediffCompProperties_Discoverable: two comps with same compClass: Verse.HediffComp_Discoverable
(Filename: C:\buildslave\unity\build\Runtime/Export/Debug/Debug.bindings.h Line: 35)

Config error in WoundInfection: Verse.HediffCompProperties_Discoverable: two comps with same compClass: Verse.HediffComp_Discoverable
(Filename: C:\buildslave\unity\build\Runtime/Export/Debug/Debug.bindings.h Line: 35)

"WoundInfection" is from the base game. You probably have a mod that patches "InfectionBase" (which both infections derive from) incorrectly, or conflicts with a third mod. Have you checked if you still have the error if you remove my mod from the list?

i'm getting this error, i think it's from here, this is my mod list

nvm I figured it out - I needed to select a pawn and right click the beacon to chose the option to actvate it. You should be more specific about how to do so in quests. It is counter-intuitive as is.

How do I activate the beacon on the first quest which requires me to do so? I only can claim or deconstruct it. It doesnt say it needs any power or anything
