I cannot interact with the mercs via Comm. When I ordered my pawn to call them, the pawn just "Standing" there doing nothing for a few seconds.
Is the comm interaction not developed?

Is this beast yours?  If so, it's gotta go man.  Way over powered, IMHO.

Hi Marc!

Thanks for the clarification on the removal of the EXO-19.  It's a cool unit but just way overpowered.  Maybe if you severely nerfed it it would a fine unit for variation. But it shouldn't spawn with the Scythers, it should be part of your merc team. So on a raid you might have to deal with it, but on other times it might be with a friendly merc team coming to visit your base.

Hey, if I re-add your mod will it show up on an existing game or do I need to start a new game?  Can you trade with these people or are they just there to visit?

Its actually no where near ready for release its weapons are place holder and textures unfinished as such it hasnt been balanced yet. However it managed to sneak into the latest version which was fine until it decided to play with the mechs. To clarify it is a mercenary and will eventually spawn with the mercs as heavy fire surpport and meat shield.

and you can trade with the mercs and EXO-19 won't show up on existing save however if one them are already spawned in the save you should be able to kill with the kill command, word of warning in testing i have had to use the kill command more then once to kill them.

Oh, that explains a lot.

I'm new to modding. Is there a way to change the size of the sprite without a DLL or would that require a DLL?

Now unfortunatly im not a 'textures guy' but i believe it would be as simple as resizing the texture unfortunatly, im not sure a pawn (colonist) can be retextured.

Hi marc !
I don't know if your still searching for this one but in the code for pawnkinddef in the part where you specify the sprite/texture path (with <texPath>) you have the ability to play with the value of a tag called <drawSize>. In fact that's how pawns have different size at different ages. If you set this to higher value your giant will be drawn bigger.

Also I tried to help someone on Reddit and it looks like traders from your faction cannot survive Ice Sheets apparently (and I recall we talked a bit about apparels/parka and pawn generation in a Help thread). So if I can help you out, i'm here

Thank you however yes I have figured this out its just on the backburner behind the EXO-19. Furthermore i will look into the ice sheets issue.

Is this conflict with medival times mod which adds a tribal war band that's more dangerous than any of your factions as I've seen my friend play

It shouldn't do but my best advice is try it and let me know.

Hey just wanted to let you know I'm getting a lot of errors from the Twisseler Mech (not game breaking but a bit annoying since it floods the debug repetitievly), I haven't tried testing the mod alone yet but from the looks of it the mech keeps trying to interact with things (ex. billard table, the mech was probably trying to increase it's joy even though it doesnt have any) and keeps throwing errors saying it keeps trying to go to sleep but doesn't require sleep, etc. I'm doubting it's a mod conflict but I'll try to reproduce the errors with no other mods enabled and see.
