Description


Millennia earlier, the threat of archotech war machines, pirates, and awry bio-organic weapons arose. Nara an Interstellar Industries Complex initiated the project of semi-automated war-machines, which aimed at creating a legion of war-machines with low technology and maintenance requirements to aid humans in all galaxies in the war against all those threats.

It was a quite successful project, and as countless fleets of unknown generations of ships marched toward the borders of human civilization, the production technology of these weapons also spread in the edge world... until today.

Introduction
This is a large-scale mod that was created around the cyberpunk theme of the 1990s. It has a lot of content, including heavy metallic weapons, industrial-tactical robots, and bio-mech bionic, so I don’t intend to teach you how to play it. You experience the story you want to play with the new choices! I believe you will find the joy you want.

Content

A new Scenario
A standalone technology tree
An Ideology style pack
A well-prepared interstellar colonization company
A royalty Title system based on military organization
A cargo load of heavy weapons and more than 20 types of military-industrial-style killing machines.
Mechanoids that have customizable weapons.
Cheap but costly bionic
lots of new clothes
CE compatibility

Try it for yourself, I guarantee it's worth a try.

Author’s words
This is my fourth year modding in the Rimworld community, also my first year of studying for a master's degree after college. I apologize to everyone who has been waiting for this mod for a long time (it’s been a while). Making such a big project is well-challenged.

DMS is a response that condenses my experience and understanding of countless works to the world and those works and creators who have profoundly affected my life.
Completing this project, which included my understanding of Rimworld art and those coolish Science Fiction styles, is also the realization of my dream of creating cool mecha works since I was a child.
Therefore, it is quite a torment in terms of technology, time, development enthusiasm, and progress management.
From the beginning of the project to the release, it spanned two game versions. Countless setbacks and subversions made me doubt my motivation to continue doing it more than once and questioned whether my work and abilities met expectations...

But this has all passed, and I have reached a reconciliation between my heavy academic workload and my pursuit of excellence. It was unanimously decided to release the mod before the end of 2023. which is today.
Although there may still be some minor problems, anyway still hope you enjoy it. _AOBA 2023/12/25

@Bobibobibu Checking the integrity of the game files. This happens with almost every update. The cause is unknown.

This mods look so good, i play with "fortificatins" for a long time now, "liberators" giving me some challenge with their tanks, but this.. semms so much better. But i have a question, can the standard ennemy factions attack me with the content of the mod "mecanized" and "syntetic" ? That can be so good for balanced challenge

黎明之刃群体性强,且有很强的建筑伤害力(类似GAU-8),可用于攻坚大规模躲在防御工事后的轻中装士兵群。GAU-8的能力很强,若将其对建筑的范围伤害能力给黎明之刃能使毕业装显得更加实至名归。至于GAU-8个人感觉附带个火焰、毒气或冰冻伤害就好,这样对付人类袭击相当优秀,但与机甲对射略显乏力。如此一来,大家拿到毕业装时更会有一股满满的安全感与成就感。
发现一些不算bug的小问题,工程驳机的武器系统虽然写着只能拿一些轻型武器,但实际上可以轻易举起GAU-4。
以上只是个人一些不成熟的小建议,失能机关mod质量感觉完全能比肩环世界的官方内容,感谢大佬制作了这个优秀的模组,祝越做越好。

个人一些不成熟的想法是,黎明之刃和正义法锤作为超重型毕业装,其弱点已经很明显了(怕敌人进内圈),在其擅长的领域(外圈),应展现出主宰级别的安心感,抽概率的低命中率实在让人难以放心(且容易闹心),在这点上个人感觉GAU-8的体验更为优秀。若担心命中高过于BUG,可以象奥德赛的新武器脉冲射线炮一样改成多段,但穿透力极强。射5次中两次,和一次5发中两发,后者的体验个人感觉会舒服很多,特别是在环世界只要打中就会降低对方能力的机制上。
个人一些不成熟的想法是,黎明之刃和正义法锤可以分成两种针对性的毕业装。正义法锤只打单体,穿透力极强(类似脉冲射线炮),适合和重甲单体站撸。射程较黎明之刃近,这样皮糙肉厚且会跳的骇蜥就会在使用正义法锤时比其他超重型单位更有优势。

新版本正义法锤和黎明之刃数值进行了调整,感觉比起之前正义法锤碾压性的优势,现在更为平衡。但对这两件毕业武器个人体验还是不甚理想。正义法锤经常硬着头皮憋出鬣蜥、寄居蟹和象龟,举起两三门法锤准备刷火控,用蹒跚怪前面挡住想先集火把对面后排秒掉,结果三四轮齐射对面骇蜥一枪不动健康100%,实属残念。黎明之刃改版后明显更强力了,但在远程和塔对狙时,经常子弹打到半路爆炸搞得哭笑不得。

为什么角色卡那里显示我有二等兵头衔,但许可页面那里显示我没有头衔,导致呼叫不了支援?
