Description:
Ever thought having only 2 types of mechanoids was kinda... on the boring side?
Ever wanted a purely melee-attacking mechanoid?
Or maybe a mechanoid that would blow up your base and everyone you love with a freaking grenade launcher?
If you have answered "yes" to at least one of those questions, this mod may or may not be for you!

Features:
- 5 new types of mechanoids that will be appearing in raids/poison + psychic ship parts/ancient dangers.
- 1 new artificial body part, the mecha-tentacle, that can be obtained by deconstructing a kraken type mechanoid.

The mechanoids:

Vespa
"Known for their beautiful forms and incredibly swift movements. More than half of vespa's body is made of pure gold.
In contrary to all other types of mechanoids, vespas tend to use cover whenever such is available."

---

Goliath
"Type of a heavy mechanoid, unique in that it tends not to use any weapons, and instead relies on its great physical strength to knock out opponents.
When a goliath gets close to dying, its inner auto-destruction program activates, causing a huge explosion"

---
(http://i.imgur.com/YV1LSkq.png) (http://i.imgur.com/tzo23LK.png)

Hound
"Medium-sized combat mechanoids designed to put the enemy bases to ruins. They use the advanced grenade launchers mounted on their sides to try and blow up anything that gets in their sights. Getting close to them is not advisable due to the sharp, powerful claws installed on their front paws."

---
(http://i.imgur.com/CP8trgO.png) (http://i.imgur.com/6UhsBzi.png)

Kraken
"Huge, grotesque-looking, combat mechanoids. Their four mechanical tentacles are deadly in melee fights - or so they say, as the heavy weaponry krakens tend to be carrying makes it so very rarely anyone even gets a chance to get close to one of them."

---
(http://i.imgur.com/TQWApdZ.png) (http://i.imgur.com/7YtIYnK.png)

Chimera
"This strange type of a mechanoid was said to have been made out of scraps of deceased members of its own race. To defend themselves, chimeras use powerful inferno cannons as well as blades, which used to belong to scythers, installed on the tips of their curled tails."

*drooooooool*

the answer is all of the above.

Finally, a mech mod! Hoping for a CE compatibility patch soon.

I'm installing this because I hate myself.

Great job, OP.

it's good, fits the artstyle, definitely going onto the "install" list.

randy will send me some soon anyway :P

anyway, i think a wheel-based mechanoid would be cool.

something like a robo-medic from TF2

I probably won't be adding any more mechanoids for now but thanks for the suggestion, I can't believe I haven't thought of adding a wheeled biomechanoid myself, heh.

This looks like a pretty nice mod, definitely going to check it out!

One quick suggestion though: Crawlers. Small, agile, quadrupedal mechanoids designed to combat megascarabs. They don't have anything particularly remarkable, and they utilise a fairly weak assault shotgun. On their own, they're not that dangerous, but they typically come in large numbers which makes them much more of a formidable opponent.

This looks awesome!

Time to give colonies more hell to deal with!

Mechanical minions ?
Resistance is futile, we made you yellow ! :-)

this .. pretty please... and Spider Mines from Starcraft.

Very nice art and weapon variety, thanks for making!

safe to use with a saved game?

I'm already a big fan of your Megafauna mod, and as soon as I saw this post, I downloaded the mod.

10/10

The mechanoids fought a fierce battle against a Gallatic Empire raid party and won.

cant wait for some of these to show up, time for some megaphauna vs mech action

Are you going to release a CE patch for it ?

Thanks ! Awesome mod, I have Megafauna and the patches for Animal Armor, ADS and CE installed :P

I quite like the idea, may add something similar if I do end up making any more mechanoids!

I have no idea, since it seems to be an actual C# mod, but if it is set to give one the ability to extract oil from mechanoids in general, instead of specifically scythers and centipedes, then it should work just fine.

If you do decide to do it, the CE github wiki should have all the info on how to make a patch you can then simply PR into the main mod. That way people won't need to muck around with separate compatibility patches and you won't have to keep it updated with future CE versions as I would handle that (you'd still need to PR changes due to your mods updating).

I downed a Vespa and can't extract Oil from it .. so sadly it is specific to Centipedes and Scythers,
I guess so is preparing the corpse, but I am still far away from machining and luci production ...
which is bad since this is my first colony I have someone addicted.

Really nice to see more different mechanoids! Please keep up the good work.

Goliath is exploding even if you shut it down. Shouldn't it override self-destruction?

Mecha-tentacles deteriorate when unroofed, unlike other body parts.

Yes, the are 2 recipes to extract oil, one for scyther one for Centi.
If you got the excat ingame names, i think  Mechanoid_Vespa, you can use a text editor and add these below  <li>Mechanoid_Scyther</li>.
But this can maybe lead to errors. Better way would be if Spino would write a patch to inject these recipes.

This mod looks awesome. How are the point costs balanced against say the Centipede?

Really liking the diverse mechanoids spawn. The art style also matches very well with the game. I hope this makes into the core game :)

If you ever consider expanding on this mod, perhaps you can consider having siege-cannon type mechanoids or battering-ram type mechanoids.

Also I find bleeding mechanoids a little odd.

Keep up the good work!

[attachment deleted by admin: too old]

I just fought my first psychic ship with this mod. Damn near wiped my base. Good job making mechanoids scary again.

I have two Mechanoid Tentacles now, but can't install them.
What are the requirements to do so ?

I have RBSE installed and not yet fully researched it, but can do other operations as well.

Scythers and Centipedes are actually worth the same amount of points, and I had decided against making Centipedes "cost" more because even though I did buff their HP by a little bit, I've also taken away Inferno Cannons from them. Anyway, here are the costs of all of them at the current moment:
- Scyther: 100
- Centipede: 100
- Vespa: 120
- Goliath: 160
- Chimera: 180
- Hound: 220
- Kraken: 300

That was a bug but it's already fixed!

Enjoy!

A swarm type of mechanoid would be nice. Then the "Light machine gun" of Jotun Interstellar got a nice use from Rimsenal :P. Also lovely mod, make very lategame interesting.

Crawler with pistoles or SMG, 1/4 of the cost/Hp points of a scyther !
Or with sucide bombs! :-)

Is anyone playing this mod with CE?

Because I tried to and even though I like this mod and the new mechanoids a lot, I unfortunately had to disable it. :(

Reason: it's just too difficult, I'd even say IMPOSSIBLE (almost). They way how CE changes the combat system, making it much more dangerous and deadly for the pawns, makes the new mechanoids and their weapons absolutely OP!
Whenever a group of them appears on the map, an unstoppable wave of fire, death and destruction overruns my base until everything is dead or destroyed. The vanilla mechanoids (even lots of them) are a piece of cake compared to them.

Could you please add some kind of difficulty setting (less HP, weaker weapons, lower chance for super deadly weapons..) that can be lowered for CE-users? If such a mod setting is too much work, maybe an alternative version?

That'll have to be done on CE's end since the patch is within the CE files and the intention of the patch was to make everything as consistent with CE's mechanoids as possible, taking into consideration all of CE's features.

I wouldn't mind making an easier version soon, we'll see.

I stopped playing CE for this reason. Only thing that works against them is target breaking. When a mech raid happens, I spend 90% of the fight pausing and looking at the mech's warmups because like hell I'm gonna let them fire. Letting them fire is instadeath/down 90% of of the time, especially miniguns.  Minigun deals like 30-something damage per bullet, inferno cannon deals 100 damage, to name a few.  Combat isn't as enjoyable with CE.

This mod is perfectly fine for vanilla.

Chimera looks like some kind of space asshole, really.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

The artwork on this mod is seriously top notch, 10/10.

I'm using Raiderpedes B18 at the moment and this would be a great addition to my game  8)

best are ever cool concept but i give up really... This with hardcore cassandra has me in tears no contigency plan can deal with 3 - 4 chimeras and 4 hounds that demolish your troops with nades.... i just give up.

Hey, awesome mod, man.. thanks..

any chance we can get a mortar wielding mechanoid? works like a mechanoid siege event, if possible..

There is a small problem with using this mod with CE. Vespas spawn with a charge rifle but with no ammo for it so they just try to attack stuff in melee which makes them really easy to defeat.

Hello dear sir. İ would like you to check ammo for mechanoids none vanilla versions have no ammo with them so i cant use your mod with CE. Also i tryed them at no ammo mod and they are pretty much very easy targets. vespas die in seconds agains KPV AP-I rounds. Also drop so much resource when they die so if i get raid in early stages its big boost to my colony. They also drop charge rifles with ion ammo they reck any mechanoid from very long ranges most of them cant even fight back. İ liked your images esp vespa is amazingly cute. İ hope you like my feedback on the topic.

I too am getting mechs with no ammo.

is this still being maintained? the steam comments mention the explosion shouldnt trigger if shutting down the mech. Though I gotta say im not a fan of the explosion effect if its a melee build. though a stunning effect would be nice. The mechs themselves look beautiful though, and vanilla desperately needs variety too....so im tempted. Ah

Yes, sorta. It'll be updated after the first stable release of 1.0 comes out. Explosion triggering on shutting down won't be an issue anymore, since mechanoids can't be downed in 1.0 at all.

Current version of the unstable is they are allowed to be downed

I'm pretty sure scyther blades have been removed from the game altogether. Also, Scythers are now melee only, and there's a third type of a mechanoid, the Lancer, which is basically what the old Scyther used to be, just without the blades.
Honestly, I feel like this mod is just okay balance-wise. Could use some adjustments, which will be made once it gets updated.

Glad to hear that spino. I am very impressed with the look of the new mechs, it really give them life. Its just the description of some of them sound like theyd be a bit too frustrating for me, specially if they cluster up against my colony.

Its rare but I have maybe 4 downed mechs every 12 hours of playing.  Also been trying the What the hack mod as well

It's because you're using the What the Hack mod. It relies on being able to down mechs, so therefore it re-adds the downing mechanic.

AHH that explains it.

Hello

This will have a B19 update ?

Finally updated this one to 1.0 as well!

Changelog:
         - the mod is now compatible with Rimworld 1.0,
         - since it is no longer possible to harvest body parts from downed mechanoids (because they can't be downed without being killed), the mecha-tentacle is now obtained by deconstructing dead krakens.

Have fun!

Would you please add support to combat extended?

The Combat Extended post on the forum said that this mod has been modified to fit into CE, but upon booting the game I see errors which says that parts on the new mechanoids such as the mecha tentacles weren't included in CE (this means that they're invincible).

Yea, I have the same problem.

The last update of this mod was November 03, 2018.
And what date CE got finaly release ?
How could it be allready be compaktible before CE got released. Maybe the posting you mean refer to the B18 version.

Nice mod, but why are all mechanoids get progressively more destrcutive?
Like where mecha hive gets its metal from to build all these?
Where are mechanoids specialized in mining or material gathering? Or in deconstruction of fallen mechanoids?
Where mechanoids that tend to just deconstruct your buildings for scrap?
Why mechanoids dont repair and upgrade themselves?
The chimera seems to be reconstructed from scrap, assuming that its done at mecha hive is a bit illogical as for AI logic its more logical to just deconstruct and constuct same well-known tools(units) all over again and scrap damaged instead of making chimera - its more logical that mechanoids repair and upgrade themselves on field.

Centipede with inferno is already like chimera, so what is unique in chimera?
Kraken is like 4 scyters alltogether, tho 4 scyters is more scary :/
Hound - grenade launchers... Ever wondered why dev did not give grenade launchers to everyone? Because of extra large destructibility.
Why no diversity? Why these are not unique, just larger and bulkier mechanoids?

Who made the patch for Combat Extended? The grenade launcher on the Hounds is INSANE, there's basically no way to fight it without extreme amounts of cheesing, it does an absurd amount of damage, has an absurd amount of armor penetration, very long range and its 1sec warmup/half a second of cooldown means you have to "prefire" it. First ship I got I had to lock it down with my Geomancer [and I shouldn't even be playing A Rimworld of Magic, it hasn't been patched for CE] to get rid of the other mechs, I tried it again now but I think it just shot over the wall and downed 3 of my pawns in power armor in a single shot. I guess I could try mortars but direct fire will have the same issues and using a pawn with binoculars will probably get them killed just as quickly as the 3 in that fight.

The Combat Extended post on the forum said that this mod has been modified to fit into CE, but upon booting the game I see errors which says that parts on the new mechanoids such as the mecha tentacles weren't included in CE (this means that they're invincible).

I get the same errors. It's not an issue with the version as I have the latest version of both of the mods. I get a wall of red errors to do with mecha tail and tail blade body parts not being cool with combat extended. As I understand it this won't break the game and will still let it be playable.

Updated the mod to 1.1
There should be no more errors.

Would you please provide nexus download?
