That's not Android Tiers. That's ChJess' Androids.

if you can get this mod working with this version of Android tiers https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2889326293 Mile then it should work (Hopefully)

now they are

@NothingToSay Required mods are not updated. Also, see comments by FG_Remastered below.

1.4?

@karolkrg Go to: "\1.3\Defs\ThingDefs\Things_Items\SM7_Shield.xml"
and add
<tags>
<li>BeltDefense</li>
</tags>

just above </apparel>

@FG-Remastered I have no idea how to do it. Found this line in "mod folder"/1.3/patches SM7Patch.xml file:
<!--Adds SM7 Shield to allowable apparel-->
<li Class="PatchOperationAdd">
<xpath>/Defs/AlienRace.ThingDef_AlienRace[defName = "M7Mech"]//apparelList</xpath>
<value>
<li>SM7_Shield</li>
</value>
</li>
But I don't know how to add humans and TX4 (android) to it.

@karolkrg Either use a ranged shield belt from another mod or change the tags to include humans with Rimsquol or similar.

@Mile Hi, what to change so humans and other androids could wear SM7 Shield System?

Will do! Thank you!

@FG_Remastered Original author here (and artist for weapon and shield assets): This is extremely flattering! You also have my permission to integrate into the base mod.

@FG_Remastered Fine by me as long as the original license is kept as its originally by an MIT license by AUTOMATIC1111. But its all available on the github-repo, just ping me when its published and Ill link to it here

Hi, I'm here on behalf of the AT discord server. There are currently efforts underway to update and rewrite the base mod Android Tiers and the functionality of this mod is planned to be integrated. Would we have permission to use assets and/or code from this mod for this endeavour?

@Joe the Tech Nice, should be published now!

I've added a new patch that includes some SOS2 compatibility. It makes SM7 and M8 mechs immune to space exposure since they can't wear EVA suits. Technically the vacuum exposure didn't harm them, but it made them look like they were constantly being injured and it interrupted their movement cycle really annoyingly.

T5 androids need the same treatment, but that's outside of the scope of this mod.

Yeah any updates or overhauls would be welcome for it @joe the tech

Done.

@Joe the Tech Nice! Best way would be to do a PR on the github repo I think

Another thing I'm planning to fix is that added limbs (High Power Legs and whatnot) only have the HP that they'd have on a standard android, while the M7s would have way more. This leads to the issue where a newly installed limb on an M7 would only have around 30 HP, where the original limb had well over 100. In a way, it makes some sense since you're installing a much smaller limb designed for a normal sized android onto a huge battlemech (it'd be like Baby Legs from Rick and Morty). I may just develop another tier of android parts specifically built for M7s to fix this.

@Mlie
Hey, I've made a small update to the patch to include the new M8 prototype. Let me know what would be the easiest way to get the code to you.

@Geronimo
Original mod author here. I'll look into the battery issue with the M7. I believe what's causing it is that when this mod was originally made, there technically was no M7 Surrogate (and I've changed the mod as that was added). Originally, the M7 was just a rare drop beacon that you could get through merchants/quests that would spawn one. The one it spawned couldn't be charged or repaired, so it basically had a countdown until it died. The finagling I did removed that, but somewhere the code was added to make it an actual surrogate you could build. I'll just need to dig into the code and see where I broke that and try to fix it.

so it works fine for me, just cant get the shield to work :D great mod tho

I've been trying to do that for the past few weeks but can't get it to work @Geronimo still has the issue... I can't figure out what is causing it...

Well the issue still disables this mod entirely as it disables the M7. And the mod author has not been active there at all. So that leads me back to here where it would be possible to solve the issue and give this mod a chance to be used.

@Geranimo Great that you found the issue!
Any requests can be made by posting the link on the Discord-server. Saves me a lot of time :)

Can confirm the issue is from the original mod and not this. Really a simple patch for the M7 to start in battery mode by default would solve it.

Also found a great revive candidate mlie ;)

@Geronimo Can you try it without this mod loaded perhaps, to see if its in the base-mod?

pretty much there is no hud option to switch to battery. Im unsure if its this mod directly or if the original mod just overlooked it.

@Geronimo The gizmos should work better on the shield. Apart from that I dont really know what you mean. Are you saying that the M7 can use the battery-option when this mod is not loaded but that option is not available when this mod is loaded?
I cant see anything in the code that would hide those options.

Hmm I played around with them. I dont see any change?

@Geronimo Ah, now I see. Should work better now

Oh its an item upgrade system for the M7 that is all this mod does. Add a gun and shield, easy. If you wanted to include a battery upgrade of some kind that could be installed. Then that would coincide with the intentions of this mod.

@Geranimo No I mean large as in a big change of the function of the mod since I dont know the original author intentions

I dont believe it would be to difficult? Just some stat changes I would assume.

An even simpler solution be to turn battery mode on by default. That would be a great temp fix for the issue. Or even a right click on the robots directly to select either mode could work. Because there is nothing in game a person can do to avoid their robot just dying because the hud options are missing.

@Geronimo Not sure, I havent used either mod. Sedms like a rather large change of the mod?

Seems this mod is an upgrade kit for the M7. Its possible this is either removing the battery option and/or could add a battery pack attachment. So these can be usable until its actually patched. The original mod author hasnt replied in awhile.

@Geranimo What they said was that the bot in this mod is the SM7, not the M7 you mentioned

that doesnt really solve the issue of not being able to recharge the android.

@Geronimo See polios3 comment about it lower down.

Finally got around to building a M7. Found out that the switch to battery and other android sky options are missing. So even though I had a M7 recharge pod. It ended up dying from a loss of power because it couldnt eat and I couldnt switch it to battery mode. Even if I told it to use the pod it said it was not in battery mode.

Once it died, the built in rotary cannon fell to the ground. I dont believe that is intended?

Hope to see these patched. Works great otherwise.

In case you ever needed access to a mobile war crime/WMD

@geoffrey.lyon you say about M7 from quest? SM7 from this mod is not the same M7 from quest item. M7 from quest item is only 1 time use mech for given time. SM7 from this ADDON can be charged. THIS addon SM7 you need to craft on the table.

@geoffrey.lyon This mod just modifies the bot, you would have to ask on the Android Tiers page as that is the mod that adds it

How can i prevent the SM7 from running out of battery? is it intended to die regardless of what i do to charge it?

@polios3 That is intended, they need to be killed with advanced weapons or melee

Shield is regenerating even when under heavy fire from 200pirates :/ can u fix it? it make them unkillable.

@Geranimo If you dont load it it will just draw the weapon normal size

Thank you for the fast fix!

Can we also have a version without oversized weapons as a requirement?

@Geronimo Should be fixed now

Here is the link for the oversized weapons for those that need it. I kind of wish it was an optional mod as I dont really care for it.

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2543371889

Couple confusing issues I found. Even though this is patched for CE the description still says to download the CE patch. Also in game the mod menu says Oversized weapons mod is required with no link to it.
