Mechanoid Hive Ship Crash (Spoiler)

[Rullepelle]

Hello all

Anyone of you ever beat this event in subject? It comes with glitterworld mod and i have NO way to beat it!

The moment i arrive at location im being attacked by around 15 Schyters/Lancers an 7-8 Centipedes.

Any idea if its a unlucky draw or?

Are you using Prepare Carefully? I sometimes have scythers waiting for me on the map if I start with a really OP party of colonists (18k points+) and start on a map with lots of ruins from the Real Ruins mod. I have never used the Glitterworld mod though.

So far i remember The Mech. Hive Ship crash is a world map event, that don't scale with the colony wealth. It is like when you attack a faction settlement.

So you should well prepared and get many/all pawn's with you.
Some resources to build some defence wall's to hide behind.
Not to forget a packed Mashining table and power to dissamble the mechanoids later.

Yes the mod is actually from Sparkling Worlds.
The amount of mechanoids doesn't scale with colony size and it specifically states that it is very dangerous (and rare)!

I personally recommend packing EMP Grenades (or EMP Grenade launcher from the mod). They can stun the Mechs pretty well and give you a fighting chance.

If you're not prepared enough or don't have enough fighting colonists to spare I would recommend not caravaning to the event and just sit in your base. The event location will eventually timeout and won't do you harm.
Hint: The normal ship crash is way easier and has a chance for insects instead of mechanoids.
