Any chance for a way to deliberately infect colonists? Possibly requiring a already affected colonist or research.

Finally got a chance to try this in a game (I very rarely seem to get mechanite infestations), and it's a blast! Haven't seen the new mechanite diseases yet, but I'm keeping an eye out.

Figured I'd just test it, yes it is, went as I expected in my previous comment.

Is this safe to delete mid-game?
I assume I'd get thrown some errors at first load of the save cause of missing defs, but it should automatically resolve it I guess by just removing those defs (the custom diseases) and be fine the next load?

The reason I ask is because the mod also seems to increase the rate at which pawns get "sick" with these diseases, I'm in a cold biome, but I'm getting them at the rate as if I were in a swamp/jungle, I have pawns with 2 of the diseases even, sometimes it fires days after the last one.

Whereas in vanilla you'd maybe get pawns get sick with mechanites once a year or 2.

Ah lucifarium! thx

Huh. An unexpected interaction, but not one I particularly intend to change.
There would be no easy way to alter that, as it works the same way as lucifarium withdrawal's berserk breaks, and it would make sense lore wise, as the mechanites are changing the function of the body.

I'm enjoying using your mod. I've noticed that a pawn with the 'Deadcalm' trait experiences violent mental breaks while suffering from the Berserk Mechanite disease. Do you have any plans to change this behavior?

i've use this mod for so long and it's so cool, hopefully you add some more mechanite strains like battle mechanties which boosting pawn's cooldown on attacks and beauty mechanites that boosts beauty and social interactions,

Thanks for that Update

Thanks for letting me know

Oh, not that bug again.

Based on throughout testing (and by that, I mean literally just one operation), I can safely say that, a pawn doesn't need to be infected with a mechanite disease to stabilize it

I hate you Tynan !
And Love you...
Its a tough relationship...

Because Tynan ordained that MeleeDamageFactor belongs in biotech, rather than the base game

wtf why does this need biotech
