Look, since this isn't getting updated, I went ahead and updated it for 1.6. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3538433536

There is a bug with the long range asteroid scanners (not related to my port) that causes them to be permanently under a roof. You can work around this via allowing roof scanning in that mod's options.

Can you please update to 1.6?

Definitely going to try this mod on my solo Mechanintor run. It sucks having to decide between making research progress and finding materials. Bit too punishing, so this will fix that.

I would like to suggest a mod that allows Mechs to do basic tasks, such as flicking switches. I tried myself to enable that work-type in both the Core workgiver XML and on the Mechs themselves, but for some reason they still aren't able to flick switches, despite it saying in their info page that is work they are capable of.

Can we get a patch for Save our Ship 2 so Fabricor can scan at Science Console?

Would have loved for it to be its own Mechanoid but oh well, this is better than nothing

I've been using the observer mech (linked below, works without issue on 1.5) with the caravans mod since it lets you control the mechs at range on caravans even with the mechinator not present (and acts as some justification for being able to send them so far).

WOOW GEE WILIKERS! YOUR A WIZARD TONGO! keep up the great work, soon my Mechanitor Legion will be ready to march upon this wretched plane of flesh.

muhahaha

@Mc_Dyno I actually just made a mod that allows for caravans that only have mechanoids in them:

It's not as cool as having a special commander mechanoid, but it works. I'd like to add something like that (and a way for fabricors to summon mech threats), but I'm still relatively new to modding. Those ideas get a bit more complicated than what I've done so far; so idk we'll see if I get around to it

Also fabricors should also be able to use the Chat Comms if only to summon the Diabolus.

This mod is great! I love the idea of a mechanoid only run, but a suggestion I'd make is a mod that adds a new mech that can send out other mechs on missions almost like a mechanoid that acts as a relay to the Gestalt computer with a limited relay radius.

Awesome. I love seeing all these new mechanitor mechanoid mods coming out that allow for a complete self sustained mechanitor run.
