thankee!

Are VE factions supported?

Thanks for updating!

The 1.6 update here now with the necessary changes and adaption for the new DLC.

The mod works in 1.6 as is but I'll take a bit of time to update it properly for more cross-content.

Will this function in 1.6?

1.6?

Does this mod also add entities to the spooky raids? (I assume this is clear enough without spoiling anyone), because whenever these raids happen the humans will instantly turn around and leave the map, and the entities stay around in a semi hostile state where they wont seek out colonists but will attack if someone gets too close but generally seem to ignore being attacked.

Something similar happens to mechs brought by normal raids, they seem to go non hostile and just sort of mill about after the human raiders start fleeing.
However educational it is for the kids to send them out to Molotov idling centipedes, it does not really seem like intended behavior ;)

I think the volume of mechinators can be excessive at times, I had four in a raid with a single pikeman!
Also notices sometimes the mechs dont flee with the rest of them if the raid is abandoned, but that might be something like CAI 5000 not playing nice

Im not sure if you know, but when you defeat raids, the mechs dont leave/flee the map

really cool and healthy for my fps. but why are the mechs blue lol? they have a blue square on top of them

NPC vehicles is a system that needs to be fully implemented from the Vehicle Framework side first, the AI should become able to use vehicles properly to give them various different vehicles so yea, have to wait for that.

Do you have something like this but it gives raiders tanks and such with vinilla viechles expanded how would i do that?

...No clue whats happening but this is the closest mod I can think of, I think a mech is trying to build a mortar??

Nope.

Currently playing on a medieval modpack, would this mod still add mechanoids to medieval faction raids?

Sounds good! Thanks for the quick reply!

Mechanitors rarely show up in raids and the mechs are part of the faction and not attached to a mechanitor.

I'm thinking about adding this, but I worry I'll end up drowning in Mechlinks. Do the raider mechs require a mechanator, or do they 'cheat' and just make the mechs part of the faction they fight for?

It's as you assumed, the added mechs and animals take away their own portion of the raid points and are not added on top. But as mechs are, they can be more difficult that normal humans.

I assume that militor/wargs also use available raid points, right? Which means that they replace extra Raiders which should be there instead. I'm asking because when I play this, raider seems harder than expected from available raid points as if the mechanoid/animal are just added without replacing anything.

Poop. Good mod. It helped my bowls empty.

As mentioned in the description too, I've only added the extra pawns to base game and DLC factions.

this is exactly what I needed!!! can you tell me if this works with the Yuran and MoeLotl factions (mod) ?

Yes it does.

Does this work with any storytellers ?

Woo! No militors left behind ^.^

The issue with sad little mechs getting left behind when traders leave your colony is fixed now.

@Indigo Cactus Yeah I have noticed the 'mechs getting left behind' issue with my mod and RS Spacer too, I might just drop the mechs from caravans as the game is not able to handle their AI.

@Stinkyjim What exact sort of "compatibility considerations" are you talking about? My mod works as is and does what's advertised without any problems.

Small issue with the mod, a lot of the time mechs won't leave with their caravans. Fairly often a caravan will just leave a sad little friendly pikeman roaming around my territory.

Otherwise this mod is awesome, I absolutely love the variety it adds to everything and it has seemed 98% stable which is more than most mods of this scale!

Sounds like an issue if your'e not willing to make compatibility considerations for the biggest mods the community uses. Nobody is going to choose your mod over three or more of the most popular mods that have existed for 10 years

As I'd explained in the replies, it's not caused by my mod.

I see a few comments down that there's conflicts between vfe factions, alpha animals, and giddy up mounts. Do you know if that is still a problem?

@xXDarknessCedric13Xx it's probably a mod conflict, the mod alone doesn't mess with the base gen system. You might be able to fid the culprit with some binary searching through your mod list.

@Karasik Erohin, Mounts are added by Giddy Up and not this mod, I have not added modded animals and mechs to the factions in the first place either.

with alpha animals and all VE mods I observe classical factions having ultratech spelopedes as mounts and such. definitely some more patching has to be done.

that's s strange, whenever i use this the faction base generation gets scuffed and only generates a small ammount of the factions that i have selected to spawn. was searching like a maniac to see which mod was causing this and it stopped doing that when i disabled this. maybe something's messing with it?

I've extensively tested to mod to make the mechs/animals rare enough in the raids.
Yes, it's safe to remove.

Or at least，is this mod can remove in a mid-save？

Is there any possibility to add some setting to make it can change the proportion of mech/animal to human？In my game this mod makes my raid has full of mech/animal

Between this, CEGE, and PCA, I have to say I really love your work.

No settings but you can go in the mod folder and delete the patch file for the mechs.

can there be an option to toggle the mechs spawning in human raids, i just want ooga booga people with wargs raiding me c:

Hmm, thanks for giving me something to look for, I'll check and see if there's anything like that.

You might have a mod that messes with their faction paintjobs, it doesn't happen under normal circumstances.

I find mechs added by this mod have strange coloured boxes around them.

Horax raids can't spawn with mechs, to be specific my mod does not do such thing.

I think this mod will cause bug of Anomaly DLC raid like horax cult psychotic/kidnap/fleshbeast ritual raid spawn with mechanoid and pawns fled the map instantly and leave enemy mechanoid wander.

does it works wiht just vanilla mechs or modded mechs?

No settings but you can go in the mod folder and delete the patch file for the mechs.

unless its a setting i missed possible to add a setting so i can have just the animals ?
