thank you. make sure you check out Capybara Compendium, it has these infantry built-in with more content

i really like this

I mean technically this mod has ship officers if you look at the bridge modules https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3035850485

Ship officers when

Awesome mod! subbed

I'm not sure when i'll be able to release a balance update for the mod but i'll keep that in mind

infiltraitors are op they take over most ships in literal seconds lol

They seem kinda pointless when the infiltrators already fulfill their role.

If i could make ultra-specialized troops like that I would however the main limitation is the game's modding interface which doesn't allow you to do much except replicate and modify existing functionality. IE I can't do that because the modding tools aren't that advanced.

k

i think i remember someone on the discord making a mod with fantasy races

hey could you make a ork mod? i would really like it. also... WAAGH!

@kelpy Pretty cool, looking forward to that. Also thanks for letting me know about the Knight mod.

you can make your own steam knight with like different types of weapons

i have plans for an exoskeleton-type unit, although someone has already made a "knight barracks" mod if you are looking for that, just search it up on the workshop

Any chance to possible add a steam knight(something akin to heavy armor /melee combo)?

Nope

any update?

ah, I see

you cannot select techs in battles outside of conquest, thats just the way the game is designed and something i asked the developer to consider fixing in his discord.
basically no way you can use some of them outside of conquest, sorry

It's the same when I try to do a battle when i'm not in conquest

make sure you have the tech researched.

if you're in conquest you gotta research it, but if you're in the designer then you have to enable the tech by pressing T to open up the tech selection and then clicking on the infantry techs.

'When I try to use' Sorry for the typo

When I try to any troops except the Shock Troopers and Sentinels it says they are not available in the description of the vehicle and I cant use it

You may need to enable the techs in the design & fight for the other quarters. Just press T and scroll down until you see them.

For some reason only the Shock Troopers and Sentinels are available in Design and Fight, including the combat. Despite this, they still are available and quite fun in conquest.

Huh.

Between this and Suspendium Cavalry, I might have to try a playthrough where I forgo ship-mounted weapons.

Its cool, maybe in the future the game will have more modding options.

yeh i forgot about that. my bad

I wish the game allowed for specific crew actions but it's really just limited to boarding and attacking/capturing ships.

got an idea for a unit. wire cutter. they sever parts from the ship. detonator. they blow up the engine. disablers. they just disable the weapons of the ship. seductress. they make the crew revolt ( not sure if it will work ) suicide bombers. and mustard gas unit.

The Suppresor and The Charger sounds really cool actually, the ideas are pretty neat for a full on endgame boarder unit that could compete with other mods

love the mod keep it coming!

No problem

That's fine with me, I just felt like sharing, But hey thanks for taking the time to read it regardless.

@TheBendyLlama I probably won't touch the waspkillers or give them any upgrades, but your ideas are pretty interesting.

based

The second Idea I have is the Suppresor, Taking the idea of the steam mechsuit and putting it on steroids by making the Waspkillers more tanky with heavy exoskeleton powered armor bordering on being just a small mech armed with Gatling guns more akin to those mounted on ships instead of the smaller ones being carried, Although they'd be much less mobile with no aerial options at all and being leagues more expensive in both money and supply to compensate for their higher beefiness and attack power. Both would facilitate the module's size change to be doubled, Going from 1x3 to 2x3 in order to fit the bigger equipment, And both would be around equally expensive. If you are going to add this feel free to make any balance changes you'd like since this could be pretty flawed, If not though, That's fine, I just felt like sharing this idea.

I have an idea for two variants of the waspkillers similar to how the Air dragoons were handled. First, The Charger, They'd be more mobile, Being equipped with a suspendium backpack that gives them greater ground speed and pretty poor air speed, Having a focus on hard and fast hitting melee units using big blades on their arms instead of a gatling gun although they would be weaker health wise, Maybe being 15 health.

considering they are wearing the airships equivalent of power armour... probably.

would waspkillers still slaughter anything they come across

Could be possible to add them in, although it will be hard to balance them in a way that doesn't overlap with the use cases for Waspkillers; unless they became an upgrade for the Waspkillers, then maybe.

Whats your opinion on the Steam Mechsuit from the cataclysm mod? I think it would be cool as a solo unit module in this mod or something of that sort.

Updated!

Thank you for doing that, and you're welcome!

I'm working on the next update which will give them separate modules and move them down the tech tree. Thanks for your suggestion!

I'm mostly just saying this as a sandbox enthusiast since I've found it not very possible to use these variants in battles which is a shame because all these sound awesome.

I see, Yeah I've seen that before. Maybe they could be separate modules in that case then, But could make the balance more off.

Possibly, although the main issue I have with variants is that some people cannot find modded modules hid behind vanilla module variants.

Just an Idea I've had, Would it be possible to make these available through module variants (Such as turning a regular cannon to a deck cannon) for what I Imagine could be more streamlined use? It'd also make it easier to get it working on sandbox for testing ships involving them and just messing around.
