Bandwidth Enhancer

Description
If you're like me, then you'll have wanted to make a mechanoid army when this game came out. However, the game's max bandwidth count has felt a bit low for making a giant army. Sure, you could get more mechanitors, but if you wanna do a solo run? you're SOL.

This mod adds a few mechanitor implants that boosts max bandwidth by 5 every level, up to a max of 12 implants for +60 bandwidth, or if you're lucky, 20 implants for a max of +100! This was, I felt, large enough of a boost to satisfy most player's needs.

The basic implant is quite expensive and is unlocked in the Ultra Mechtech research, so you better get to killing those mech bosses! The higher tier version is even more expensive, and requires its own research. The final tier of implants cannot be crafted and must be obtained via quests.

Should be safe to add to a save. As always, assume unsafe to remove.

Requires the Biotech DLC to use, though I'm sure you knew that already.

@NEPH Thanks for pointing that out, it should be fixed now.

Hello, I wanted to let you know that the placement of your mod’s research button overlaps with the Odyssey research button, which doesn’t look good.

The mod was updated to 1.6. Rejoice, everyone!

If this comes to 1.6 it would be perfect for my soon to be Gravship flying solo mechanitor.

The mech hive shall be mine!!

Do you have a full stack (6) of the basic enhancers, TcT?

Is there a config to make this limitless?

So, it won't let me install the Advanced or Hyper ones. It says I need a normal one even though I have it.

You really should be able to make and use the BASIC bandwidth enhancer before the final Ultra mechtech research.
