Mechanoids Extraordinaire v1.3.2 by Spino



Second mod of mine, turned out I wasn't as lazy as I had originally thought.
Once again, of course, please do inform me if you find any bugs, think anything needs rebalancing, etc.

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"


---


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."

---


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."

---


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."

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 ! :-)

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.
