Machinists - A Faction Expansion

Machinists maintain an organized fighting force and their raids have been customized to reflect that.



Early on, they will send out patrols of minutemen and a few light mercenaries - not too dissimilar to outlanders, though unlike some vanilla pawn types they're guaranteed to come with *some* protection - but establishing yourself as a big threat will have consequences.



Machanists, using their reserves of soldiers, marksmen and ordnance experts, will strike with their milita-army! These soldiers, with their resources and training, are a threat to be reckoned with.



Make sure you make amends one way or another, lest you face the wrath of the gendarmerie. Lead by an elite captain, the gendarmerie come with their own unique raids where they wreak havoc in your colony.






Machanists reside in strong, fortified towns where they defend their horde of industrial wealth. Weapons are built in sweatshops by the dozen and distributed to soliders and peacekeepers.

These towns are designed by hand by me! The vanilla base generation system is kinda lacking for my needs, and so I have utilized the Vanilla Expanded Framework's base generation features to give machinists custom bases where each tile is placed by hand.






From a multitude of custom pawns and a mercenary hiring system to custom merchants specializing in the sale of certain industrial goods, every part of this faction has been packed with as much detail as I could fit. I have done my best to make this faction as interesting as possible and I hope you'll find them engaging to play with!

These mods are fully optional but are supported on this mod's side!

There's a vast amount of content just sitting idle and underutilized. I'm a big fan of Oskar Potocki's Vanilla Expanded series and I have always wished a faction mod utilize the content from those mods in an industrial faction. That wasn't happening, however, so I decided to pick up the torch and do it myself!

Yes! This mod comes with integrated patches to ensure everything works well with Combat Extended!

Make sure you have enabled all the listed dependencies. There's a lot, I wouldn't blame you for missing any, but make sure you have all the required mods before making a complaint.

Contact me on discord, chief_turkler for any inquiries.
