[1.0](WIP) What The Hack?! - Mechanoid hacking

[rawrfisher]

I'll update and see what my wealth is after that.
Probably gonna launch another wave of reports in a couple days too XD

Goddamn, work s been brutal, i am really sorry i still didn't post something nice for upgrade table, Roolo. Actually, i was also dumb enough to not ask you about what do you envision this table to be. I mean are your mech upgrades like microchips\modules that upgrade software, rather than the hardware? Or are those mechanical upgrades? Cause answer to that really alters the way I d go about trying to make a sprite. It can be a computery-programmy table with some high-tech PCs for programming microchips or it can be a high tech assembly bench for constructing upgraded mechanical parts. Well i guess it could also be a wild mess of a hybrid between the two...

Its so rare that I release my hounds AND knights.  They go down I release lardo and just nuke my base to kill em off
Lardo got released but they fled after 1 shot

Don't worry, no need to apologize. Creating this mod and participating is just for fun, so don't worry if real life prevents you from contributing. You didn't promise anything, so I'm not expecting anything, and I certainly don't want to cause you any stress. Also, I had plenty of other things to do, so you didn't hold anything back, and even if you did, it wouldn't matter as in that case I'd just draw the sprite myself.

About your question: It's actually the last option you mention, so like you put it "a wild mess of a hybrid between the two".
Take for instance the turret module, crafted on the mechanoid workshop: "A module that provides both structural support and and interface for gun turrets and mortars." So the structural support is really a mechanical thing, while the interface between the mech and the turret would need some advanced electronics to function. However, most upgrade modules use mechanoid parts and mechanoid chips as resource, so you could also argue that existing chips are reused and re-purposed, so no micro-electronics are created on the table, but instead they are "hacked" or modified.  This all seems to make it complicated, but you actually have a lot of freedom. The elements on the table don't need to reflect real life things, as in real life we don't have mechanoids, and we don't hack/upgrade them. As long as the table looks like a high tech thing on which high tech things are created/modified, it's fine. 

As another example of things created on the table, here are the sprites of the repair arm and the repair module:

Hmm, the repair module should be a bit less grainy, I'll polish that later, but I hope this helps.

I've encountered that error too and found a solution. Will be fixed in the next update. It doesn't seem to affect the game by the way (but I still don't like errors so it's good you reported it).

[rawrfisher]

I also added those 2 pictures to give you an idea what I have for mechs to deploy.
longhead is the bastion from polaris bloc and well as you can see it hides the platform lol

gimie da doggos D:

[rawrfisher]

Check out the polaris bloc mods by vaniant on steam
Should mention those dogs are EVIL when provoked lol

[Roolo]

Update:

- Added sprites for all upgrade modules that didn't have a sprite yet.
- Fixed seemingly non-harmful GenGrid exception.
- Replaced any instance where combat power is used in a calculation with a capped combat power to improve compatibility with other mods.

[rawrfisher]

Roolo got any solutions to this photo?

Been under heavy attack by the bugs the whole game lol

I have a solution.

Nuke from orbit.

[rawrfisher]

Tried that already....
10 orbital bombardments and they just keep comming

[Canute]

Looks like an episode of Starship Troopers, one of the scenes the bugs win ! :-)

[Smexy_Vampire]

to much welth

[rawrfisher]

The bugs lost that battle once I found my gernades
Sadly my wealth isnt super high
