I'm assuming the nonoffensive abilities were too complicated to create an autocast AI for. Shame, autocasting Mend would be very convenient. Instead I have to create stockpile zones that bring my broken equipment to an easy to see area.

Autocasting replaces the pawn's attack with the psycast if enabled. So it doesn't work at all on anything that target's allies or self. There are plans to fix that, but it's a lot of work.

AI is difficult.

As for the attack autocast, my Staticlord pawn with alternates between firing with his weapon, and firing with his autocast Bolt.

Since the best spells for autocast are debuffs/utility (Bolt has EMP on mechs and sets organics on fire), alternating weaponfire and psycasts is usually the best behavior.

If you want a pawn to exclusively attack with ranged psycasts, you'd want to equip them with a melee weapon.

Have you guy's seen Psitech's autocasting system? Would/could VPE's autocasting be something like that?

No. PsiTech uses a custom job system, which is quite complex. This is much simpler.

Ah, that's a shame, but quite understandable.
