yeah its a great mod, my only mistake was selling most of my mechanoid part for trading some expensive things (which i think were worth it at the time), but then now always running low on them for maintenance, and capturing more mechs.

it was a mixture of "sometimes raids go wrong" + "orions mechanoids" which caused a few different raiding parties to arrive (all against each other) + they were being chased by orions flamer bots mostly, and they all fought themselves and then 1 caveman ally faction, all within a "real ruins" large base, and then i was able to pick off the remainder hostiles with minimal loss. (i think i lost 2 people plus 1 got stolen, but i had a clone thanks to "simple clones" or later revived one :) unfortunately tons of valuable resources got burnt in the flames, but a "sniper fire extinguisher" rifle helped a lot

This mod was the fiorst most to ever allow me to play as the evil bots
It existed for a while and some similar came along the way, but i thbink this was the greatest to be

1.5 update: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3372841828

Thank you again!

Hello roolo, thank you! I will absolutely credit you (and all the others you've listed above) ... and link your game (congrats on that by the way). This is a classic mod that a great many people enjoy, I appreciate you trusting me with it, and I will care for it in the best manner I can; please know as well that I am a caretaker only - if at any time, for any reason or none, you want it removed, I will do so immediately. Thank you again, I will link the update here when I publish.

@Zaljerem.

Yes it's alright to continue this mod if you're fully committed to it. Make sure to credit me as the original creator and please also link to the game we're developing (Cursed Crew) on your mod page.

Really hope this jewel gets updated to 1.5, always loved messing about with this mod.

Hello roolo, I was wondering if I could get permission to continue this mod? It's a well-loved classic, and I have recently completed a personal 1.5 fork. Thank you for your consideration, and for your great mods over the years!

There's conflicts with cleaning area mods. I haven't figured out all the gameplays with this mod, but with it, I can't even run my game faster than 2x speed. Used to love it

I really missed this mod. It's really amazing! Hope to get into modding myself sometime!

@Mitchel Vories, 4NGRY_K1TT3N didn't make this mod, though. That was Roolo.

@4NGRY_K1TT3N, "I'm currently no logner active as a modder because I'm working on my game now. I do tend to keep my mods alive, but won't add any new content"
Funny how the very thing you quote contradicts your statement.

man

Update please

1.5 please

This mod used to be a staple for me before biotech but I understood that it is an alternative way to get mechanoids and can live in harmony with Biotech.

Whether you want to update it or not, I thank you for the many fun hours this mod gave me

I have Biotech, but Biotech sucks. I'm sticking to Rimworld 1.4.3901 in order to use this mod. In Steam Client, right click on the game --> Properties --> Betas, choose your beta version.

1.5 1.5

Update please :)

We need Mlie!

Update please 1.5

1.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.51.5

Tho i don't see any incompatibilities but when i enable this mod the world map generation doesnt work and revert back to the world generation menu so i cannot start a game/run/new colony.

Ironically im still playing on 1.4 and yet i can get this mod to work with my other mod :( and to say that im heartbroken after losing more than half of my mods because of the updates would be an understatement but this is the last drop that make the boomrat explode !

What the Hack really is the superior version of Biotech mechanoids. More challenging, more flexible. There's simply more quality of life in WtH compared to Biotech.

We need this for 1.5 :(

any luck with 1.5

update planned?

Will there be a 1.5? I really dont want to have to buy biotech to use this (I think its in there?)

so there will be no update for 1.5?

am i the only one that cares about the bot outlines?

if you get the opportunity, would you consider making this PLA Steel Torrent compatible?

Can i equip wepon or turret for mechanoid ? I just drop the default turret and I can't equip it back...

The name problem seems to be related to

<name Class="NameTriple">
<first>centipede</first>
<nick>A</nick>
<last>explosive</last>
</name>

This code works in centipedes, but not in lancer and sycthes, and need a correction of code name.

in lancer says
<name isnull= true >

and that apparently causes an error. If you know a little you can replace the correct code from a centipede to a lancer and change its name. dont paste this code in your save.

well when this mod came out, there was no biotech :)

This mod is good for those who want to play mechs without Biotech DLC (except some mech boss exclusively in Biotech like Diabolus or War Queen).

However if you already have this DLC it's better avoid this mod, getting directly mechs from mech hive without need of bandwidth, chips or dealing with toxic waste, this is too OP and will completely break the game balance.

free biotech

for some reason all my hacked bots have a blue square around them, how do i get rid of this?

Bassicly free biotech mechanoids?

Just a heads up, if you go to uninstall this, make sure to shut down every hacked mech unless you like not having menus.

hi just a thought - if your hacked mechs attack them, do they start to attack them back? (maybe it is a feature that mechs dont attack their own unless attacked first?)

Has anyone else run into the issue with hostile mechs not attacking hacked mechs? Any workaround?

M.A.G.Gen's Solution fixes the blue boxes!

Is there a build mod or version for reworld version 1.4.3563?

@TodaysWednesday - it looks like the link was removed, what text do we need to put into the editor to fix the colored boxes?

bad working with Biotech Mech Stuff Elongated,If the related buildings in that mod are built, there will be Mechanoids that cannot be controlled.

The solution to coloured boxes (by M.A.G.Gen.).
{ENLACE ELIMINADO}link
Put the text in editer and name it as patch.xml at this location
Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100\1505914869\1.4\Patches

found a trick, if you hack a mechanoid, then shut it down, you can just revive it at a gestater and it turns into a normal biotech mechanoid

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of coloured boxes on hacked mechanoids please?

also is there a way to get rid of the colored boxes?

The 'pedes always do from the front.
