Mechanoid Turrets v0.93



Description:
Disassemble mechanoids to recover undamaged parts of their weapons and turn them into turrets. A great late-game defence against pesky tribal raiders and other mechanoids.

Features:
  • Ability to disassemble most mechanoids to recover their weapons to improve the basic turret with better weaponry.
  • Ability to train crafting skill at the machining table.
Mod Team:
Download:
How to use:
  • Research the machining table and defeat a mechanoid.
  • Depending on the weapon they used, create a bill on the machining table to disassemble that particular mechanoid. (There are 3 types.)
  • You can acquire up to 3 weapons parts per mechanoid depending on your crafting skill.
  •    Basic disassembly will provide just 1 part, Advanced will provide 2 and Intricate will provide 3.
  • Training works in a similar way. Basic training will give you just 20xp. Advanced will give 80xp and Intricate will give 200xp.
  •    Training costs 1 metal, and produces a 1 metal product, effectively making it free.
Notes:
  • Special thanks to Haplo for providing .xml code to fix a crafting bug.
  • I will maintain & update this until someone offers to take over development. Wish to take over development? Send me a PM. :)

Changelog:
v0.93:
  • Added Mech Metal and added it to resource cost of Mechanoid Turrets. (You gain it from dead mechs based on crafting skill, like weapon parts.)
v0.91b:
  • Fixed a bug. Weapon parts should no longer drop from orbit.
v0.91:
  • Changed size from 1x1 to 2x2.

That was fast! Awesome job Itchy!

As a balance I'd suggest making the bases 2x2...

Bigger guns. I also had an idea of my own I've been considering. Making it so EVERY turret needs a scavenged mechanoid brain to work

I agree, but mainly because I miss the original 2x2 turret, aesthetically speaking

Awesome mod, started up a new game with this mod installed and had about 230 inferno cannons drop from orbit. Intended?

Itchy, are you able to delete your poll? Seeing as you're a global moderator. I can't delete my poll on industrial rim.

Suggestion :)
A Mechanized randomly drop of between 0-3 parts.
0 parts: 30%
1 parts: 40%
2 parts: 20%
3 parts: 10%

There's a button there for it so I assume I can.

Well is it alright if I can ask you to remove mine when I need it removing? seeing as I don't get this button.

I've been giving this some thought, as it's a good idea. Personally I don't like the idea of the parts being dropped on death as I feel that the weapons are physically a part of the mechanoid body and therefore need to be removed via the machining table. Having said that, I can think of an interesting way to implement this while still using the machining table...
