Able to change easily change the color of the mech's energy with just one color
Or, able to make it more in-depth like you would change colors on a saddle or armor

we will look into that we are working on making them into more then just a skin

I know they are only good for one thing but would look awesome a robo lystro...and maybe once you make them into more than judt a skin you can add an additional use to the lystro only mod I've seen mod the lystro made him rideable

If I may; I prefer them as just skins, there are already mods that add elemental mecha creatures and such but there aren't any that add cool new skins.

If you guys do plan on coding them as mecha animals, it would be nice to keep both, or even split them into two mods. There is definitely interest in a mod that adds cool skins and just cool skins, don't feel like you need to add hyper mega uber god hafuggamajiggi tier demon elemental mechas just because every other mod has those.

A robot Thylacoleo or Megalania would be nice.

Will second Megalania for sure.

Titanoboa could also be quite cool, if possible it would be great to line up segments with the segments of its animations.

A vulture one would also be quite neat, and bonus would double for Argentavis because they have the same animation set.


I recommend though if you guys aren't quite satisfied with these (which it sounds like you aren't?) adding colour regions to them, it's time consuming but absolutely worth it, the results are amazing and very few mods have pulled it off.

well that is true and its a really good idea to make one that is just the skins will do that so u can keep using the looks, we just had them planned as being custom models and custom dinos but great idea to keep them as skins in a defrent one

If I may add a couple suggestions? Robo-horse/unicorn, Robo-dodo (mainly for the rhyme), Robo-griffin (fighter jet wings?), and maybe Robo-dog(for either/or Dire Wolf or Hyaenodon)

Any of the ocean creatures would look seriously creepy in this style :D Mecha Tuso anyone? Or perhaps a dunkie with metal teeth and glowing spotlights for eyes, or an angler with a huge hinged jaw.

I'd also love to see a spino given this treatment, the sails on it's back would look cool with neon highlights^^

What about a Mecha-Mammoth? or Mecha-Plesiosaur?
ShadowKiller882 27 Oct, 2017 @ 8:20pm 
maybe mech argentavis or a rex,spino but I definantly would like to have a dire wolf. Just a suggestion though. :steamhappy:
