[REQUEST] Robots mod

[ciri]

Sry for my poor english. But somebody can make this mod?

Engineer could build robots in the workshop. For example:
- robodog - does not have to look like a dog, but fighting in close combat (melee)
- ranged robodog - similar to previous robodog but he can shot using laser gun (not so good accuracy, LOW HP but RANGED attack)

robots would support the defense of the base.
They can not be too cheap to build and can not have a lot of HP. For example - robodog HP = 25 (if normal human have 100 or something).
btw. The engineer could develop technological tree. Then the robots could have a little more HP (+5 HP?) or shoot straighter (better accuracy) or something.


Creator of modification could set a limit on the max number of robots, for example 8 pieces (8 robots max).

//btw. If you want, add the battery to the robot, the robot will be able to fight a few minutes, later it will have to go back to the charger to charge the battery (So, the player must build a charger)

This would be awesome for sure XD If no one picks it up in the next day or so, I'll take a look into it.

Just to comment, there is something already in the Core\Def\ThingsDef\Races.xml that looks like a good start.

just as a hint for ideas if anyone gets to thinking of actually making this, there was a fairly large thread on robots, and although the conversation to got heated and had to be stopped, algorithms, and good amounts of ideas were thrown out there.

and most of it is a good read even by the end in which some name calling occurs if i recall correctly.

As one of participant in that thread I say that I will try to make robot mod with AI.

I already have concept of robots, but what I'll need for sure is some graphic design. Otherwise they're gonna be gray squares.

you might want to get into contact with "Shadowtajun" from what i have seen, she is quite good at all this magical "art" stuff, and i personally think robots wouldn't be  a stretch for her.

I noticed her, but didn't dare to contact her by PM yet.

Amazing !

I'm looking toward robo main construction chain and begining in modding. I'd really like to help with this, if you wana. You can reach me by mail or PM here. I'll post some of my work when I'll see it fits, but i'll set up some github repo in the day to share the early work on that.
