I'm a little bit confused about the Incubator. Is the thing about having an occupant just a random lore line? Or can I actually put someone inside it? Because I'm not seeing any way of doing that.

Whats worse than spiders?
Spiders that can fly?
No, Spiders that will melt your face of with ancient weaponry and are infinitly reproducing like the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Flood.

Can you gestate these mechanoids?

I see that the plague chainsaw didnt support CE in the debug log

i think incubator is missing armor patch for CE
cuz it only has 0.7mm sharp and 0.27MPa blunt

good mod, but the mecalich should not be a xenotype? is strange(for me) just is stats in psy and blades,nothing more

Hai, great mod, but would it be possible to add the option that makes it so only the player faction/you can use the weapons?
If you could that'd be great! if not then thats okie :3 Great mod anywayyy

@NaCl: I suspect that just wasn't changed when the gasfella was added. Initially, the mod only had the other three. Don't worry, though. All four mechs have a player-buildable version with slightly higher stats than the enemy versions.

I can't disassemble the Bursters to get the Mechanite canister to begin with... So I can't make the one that hunts them down across the map to disassemble them. What am I supposed to do?

hey uh question how do you make those canisters??

Question. it says in Biotech support "All 3 types" but theres 4 types? Does it not include the basic Burster as creatable, or is it the Incubator thats uncreatable? (or is it just a typo?)


Also, Is it safe to add mid-run?

Small patch where the Odyssey endgame now contains the mod's new mechanoids. Have fun getting mauled to death by Driders! (and maybe the other guys too)

Fix applied! Thanks for the report!

Seems Incubator and Drider cannot recharge in 1.6. Should to have <race> <mechWeightClass>Medium</mechWeightClass> </race> in ThingDefs_Races

Quick patch to get the mod working in 1.6. If there's any issues, please point them out!

Since we have a plague bandolier, how about a plague scabbard for melee?

How do you "milk" the mechinator gasfellas?

Or balancing

@Cringe Shaymin I think its because your using medieval melee weaponry but using the mechanite plague to enhance them which makes it industrial.

The "Plagued Blades" research says "Craft medieval melee weaponry" in its description, but the research is in the industrial tier.

Kind of wish there was a stabilised burster implant so that upon death colonists will explode into bursters

The scythers summoned with the psycast armor penetration isn't patched properly for Combat Extended.

hey, any chance of a chainblade patch? took a masterwork chainblade as a 3 star quest reward before i noticed the issue there. would like to uhhh have a usable weapon lol

Hello, simply posting that i noticed the plaguetech Chainblade isnt patched for CE, All other weapons are fine just the Chain blade. Posting here cause idk if you yourself handle those patches or if your leaving it to the CE team.

Speaking of configuration options, I noticed that the setting for "Plague intensity to spawn a Burster" doesn't actually save if you modify it. There's no reference to it in your ExposeData method in MechPlagueSettings.

Would be cool to have some configuration options to set the number of bursters that spawn scale to the severity of the plague hediff at the time of the pawn's death.

@ImJustJoshin , I'm not 100% certain. As far as I was aware, it was non-mechanical. I also noticed that when I had a Plague Lich psycaster use the mechskip ability, a burster spawned and proceeded to attack, but no more bursters spawned from the bodies. at the time I figured it was because the plague didn't incubate enough, but I figured that the force *incubate* would have at least spawned some. I'll fiddle around a little bit more, test it on another prisoner, try out the weapons.

@Curdos What's the race of the prisoner? Androids can suffer from the Mechanite plague but do not spawn bursters.

Is there any reason that after Force incubating on a prisoner, the prisoner dies and nothing happens?

LOVE THESE SPIDER MECHS

helloooooo
I'll see about making some suggested changes from the comments soon enough.

I dont know if this is a intended feature or not, but Bursters (not pure) are have absurd wealth values. One Burster has 1200$ having being more wealth than a non pure drider. This is complete madness, my wealth shoots up around 100k after a large infestation, and when having over 90 bursters at once, my wealth shoots to the moon. once again i dont know if this is a intended feature or not, just asking!

the burster disassembler seems to not work, it just makes the burster corpses vanish instead of making them into canisters

Hey, you reckon you could make it so bursters aren't affiliated with a faction? I killed one and got a -51 with a friendly faction because they thought I attacked a member when I actually killed a burster. Little annoying, not gonna lie.

The plaguelich is showing for me.

is the psycast deleted? i cant see the psycast with VPE

you really like spiders dont you?

What does the chaos shell do? I used it against enemies and prisoners and nothing happens. I looked at the health condition of the pawns and that too shows nothing changed.

Do deathless die when they spawn bursters? Or just pop and then gotta patch them up?

I love this mod. Its such a nice feel and mechanics.
I adore having swarms of cute bursters and lots of friends around.

But maybe, the Mechalich ascension should not be eligible for VFE Psyrings.
It gets really, really rolling fast with that.

Thanks!

Thank you so much!

v1.5.2.1 is out! Made Perfect Immunity gene block the Mechanite Plague, made Deathless pawns still spew Bursters out at 100% Severity, and also re-added achievement support for Vanilla Achievements Expanded.

+1 on the compatibility thing. Seems like a really cool mod if that is fixed. :)

Sure, I can get on the Deathless and Perfect Immunity interactions. watch as what should be a five minute task sprawls into a several day ordeal

+1 for proper compatibility with the perfect immunity and deathless genes. Loving the mod!

Would it be possible to make heavily decayed bursters eat dead bursters to reset their decay level ?

Could you make it so perfect immunity negates the mechanite plague? Kinda wild seeing a demigod get killed by a bite he didn't get treated.

Love this mod, a bit too busy in fights.

Not exactly a bug, but weird interaction with "deathless" gene. The person inflicted doesn't die, I assume it is coded to be after death, how about massive damage to torso and other parts then bursts come out and the herdiff is removed? Thanks.

And now, v1.5.2. Featuring Chaos Shells, proper book generation for 1.5's Schematics, as well as various fixes and edits!
