[KIR]Extra Mechanoid Units and Equipment

Description
NOW ALSO SUPPORTS FOR 1.2!!

Sooo you fought Centipedes, Scythers, Lancers and Pikemen.

But you felt like it's not enough variety or is just boring to have the same mechs over and over?

What if you wanted the a mech with a ranged weapon with deadly melee or give the lancers and pikemen a automatic blaster and a mini inferno cannon?

Or maybe it's missing lil mechs that explode when you destroy them?

Now with this mod you'll have new 6 mechanoid units!
And it will also give the lancers and pikemen a new extra weapon!

New Mechanoid Types
  • Tick: Fast, small mechanoids that explode in death that can start fires.
  • Ratite: Small fast biped but weak mechanoids who can use cover.
  • Prowler: Very fast melee mechanoids resembling large feline predators.
  • Jaeger: Melee or Ranged mechanoids with a melee blade, also uses cover.
  • Hoplite: Very durable ranged mechanoids that use powerful medium range weapons.
  • Dragoon: Very frail snipers that are equipped with a powerful long-ranged weapon.

Any chance of an update for 1.4 (...or maybe 1.5, too)? :lunar2020thinkingtiger:

Is it possible to do these changes by making a clean patch instead?
