Really sweet mod!

Insanely good for a cheap cost, just a lil brother of Centipede

It's a very cool bugger! :D

I love this thing :)

Greeting again, Gentlemechanoid enjoyers!
Thanks to a surge of motivation, a new update has been pushed, this time adding a new Isopod variant, as I had initially said I would expand upon!

This new variant of the Isopod is called the 'Panzer'!
While still the same in terms of base stats, it comes equipped with a new weapon, called the 'Panzerbüchse', essentially a mobile Auto-Cannon!

While inherently powerfull, it is quite situational,it is strong against singular targets, which it will easily shred. Note that it comes with an minmal fireing radius of four (4), so make sure to avoid friendly fire!

Aighty, thanks to hYPERION who helped me with the code, the mod should work as intended now! Together with the fix, the assel has gotten a few tiny tweaks, as I will state in the description.

Pshhhh… it’s fiiiiine. Really though, not a big deal. Honestly didn’t even realize it was broken, what broke exactly?

Anyway, That being said, I cannot comprehend my very own ramblings and have already forgotten what limited code I know...

That being said, I am not even happy with how the mod has turned out, which made me decide to reiterate it in the comming weeks. Apologies again for leaving this work in such an broken state...

Greetings, frens!
I am so sincerely sorry for my inability to make this mod functioning the way it is supposed to...
It is only today I noticed that the Assel cannot even be ressurected, .. Well, that completely slipped my perception and I am sincerely sorry for that, to my suprise, nobody has mentioned that, and I have not gotten around to using it, which made me assume all is fine...

@hovershift
Glad you're having fun! :D
From my headcannon they are basicly Riot-Units, just more lethal, against Insects for example, thus the primer of being used commonly in tight spaces like cave-worlds! But with *only* 14mm of protection still suceptible to heavy fire, they canonicly were not designed for open-field combat, more so to hold street-corners, so to say!

Feel free to tell me, is their CE ballance alright? Haven't used them with CE myself in a casual setting myself yet... :c

[Sincere apologies for bad grammar, I'm german, hence it's name!]

using CE
i dropped 8 of them against an enemy base and they just mauled everyone, started dying when they got shoot by a big turret but still 2 survived and killed the rest
they are prettry good

I tried them during some raids, and they stood up pretty well against industrial tech, but I'm currently fighting a war against the empire so im paranoid about if they can get through cataphract, but I guess thats why your adding variations! I get their purpose now, theyre good for securing / taking positions, but arent meant for trench war fare. Huge mechanoid enjoyer, so I can't wait to see what you add!

@Gragyriss
Great if you like them! Have you played with them already?
They are optimally utilized in very to close ranged distances, in which they'll excell every other ranged mech. They are essentially meant to take fire meant for your colonists, as they should never be ignored when approaching, which makes them just as dangerous to fight against.
As a quick reference, an Assel sould beat a Centipede in an 1-gap duel, but will still be quite damaged afterwards.

I get that their lore states theyre mildly specialized, and that balance is the goal of all good mods, and yada yada yada, but i must ask, how good are they really? I mean when it comes down to laying down fire, killing and maiming enemy soldiers, frontline combat, how do they compare to something like a centipede? which they use 3/4s of the bandwidth of. just wondering if they really are specialized little guys in my mechanitor's 24/7 security detail while she spends most of her time inside, or if its worth investing in larger groups of them. love them btw.

Fren is beautiful

then im downloading!!!

@Doctor Sex
Very much so.

@evan
Friend, with massive Gun!

Friend! With GUN!

omg isopod my beloved

guess what? CE?

A very fine freund!

Robot fren :3

@hyou, speak for yourself kind person, I found the entertainment my soul desired just by seeing this mechanoid and your response made me smile as well. I do want to say, I like the mod and I'm excited to have the Assel wander around my base being friend and loved.

@D9sinc

It comes to no suprise to see the simple-minded to climb out of their caves of linguistic sound-alike.
This being, is more than just a machine with a *funny name*.
It is a companion, a buddy - a friend.

It is made to be loved. To be cherished.
But of course, all that matters is the funny name. Typical.
May your soul find the entertainment you seek, but you shall not find it in this machine.

Finally, the Ass Mechanoid makes it to Rimworld.

As a note:
This mod is probably going to become obsolete once I make enough content for a larger Mech mod, on which I will likely start working on, in which I will feature this one aswell.

Here we would say:
Eine Assel: One Isopod
Viele Asseln: Many Isopods

No problem! As an ESOL student, the more English speakers help correct your grammar, the better at English you become! It's a privilege to help.

Also, since I don't know a lick of German, I have to ask: is "Asseln" a correct plural in German? In English, "Assels" or "Asselen" would be how you would do it.

Happy to see people like it! c:
And yeah, I made quite a few spelling mistakes, sincere apologies. They should be fixed now, hopefully.
As one might guess my heritage is german, hence it's name.
Not too sure about what kind of unique variation to add...

nice! great watching the development of the lil mech

Fantastic work! Fantastic art!

You made a few spelling mistakes in your Description, though: "ITS" is when it owns something, while "IT'S" means "it is."

I do love him
