Fix applied! Thanks for the report!

Seems Incubator and Drider cannot recharge in 1.6. Should to have <race> <mechWeightClass>Medium</mechWeightClass> </race> in ThingDefs_Races

Quick patch to get the mod working in 1.6. If there's any issues, please point them out!

Since we have a plague bandolier, how about a plague scabbard for melee?

How do you "milk" the mechinator gasfellas?

Or balancing

@Cringe Shaymin I think its because your using medieval melee weaponry but using the mechanite plague to enhance them which makes it industrial.

The "Plagued Blades" research says "Craft medieval melee weaponry" in its description, but the research is in the industrial tier.

Kind of wish there was a stabilised burster implant so that upon death colonists will explode into bursters

The scythers summoned with the psycast armor penetration isn't patched properly for Combat Extended.

hey, any chance of a chainblade patch? took a masterwork chainblade as a 3 star quest reward before i noticed the issue there. would like to uhhh have a usable weapon lol

Hello, simply posting that i noticed the plaguetech Chainblade isnt patched for CE, All other weapons are fine just the Chain blade. Posting here cause idk if you yourself handle those patches or if your leaving it to the CE team.

Speaking of configuration options, I noticed that the setting for "Plague intensity to spawn a Burster" doesn't actually save if you modify it. There's no reference to it in your ExposeData method in MechPlagueSettings.

Would be cool to have some configuration options to set the number of bursters that spawn scale to the severity of the plague hediff at the time of the pawn's death.

@ImJustJoshin , I'm not 100% certain. As far as I was aware, it was non-mechanical. I also noticed that when I had a Plague Lich psycaster use the mechskip ability, a burster spawned and proceeded to attack, but no more bursters spawned from the bodies. at the time I figured it was because the plague didn't incubate enough, but I figured that the force *incubate* would have at least spawned some. I'll fiddle around a little bit more, test it on another prisoner, try out the weapons.

@Curdos What's the race of the prisoner? Androids can suffer from the Mechanite plague but do not spawn bursters.

Is there any reason that after Force incubating on a prisoner, the prisoner dies and nothing happens?

LOVE THESE SPIDER MECHS

helloooooo
I'll see about making some suggested changes from the comments soon enough.

I dont know if this is a intended feature or not, but Bursters (not pure) are have absurd wealth values. One Burster has 1200$ having being more wealth than a non pure drider. This is complete madness, my wealth shoots up around 100k after a large infestation, and when having over 90 bursters at once, my wealth shoots to the moon. once again i dont know if this is a intended feature or not, just asking!

the burster disassembler seems to not work, it just makes the burster corpses vanish instead of making them into canisters

Hey, you reckon you could make it so bursters aren't affiliated with a faction? I killed one and got a -51 with a friendly faction because they thought I attacked a member when I actually killed a burster. Little annoying, not gonna lie.

The plaguelich is showing for me.

is the psycast deleted? i cant see the psycast with VPE

you really like spiders dont you?

What does the chaos shell do? I used it against enemies and prisoners and nothing happens. I looked at the health condition of the pawns and that too shows nothing changed.

Do deathless die when they spawn bursters? Or just pop and then gotta patch them up?

I love this mod. Its such a nice feel and mechanics.
I adore having swarms of cute bursters and lots of friends around.

But maybe, the Mechalich ascension should not be eligible for VFE Psyrings.
It gets really, really rolling fast with that.

Thanks!

Thank you so much!

v1.5.2.1 is out! Made Perfect Immunity gene block the Mechanite Plague, made Deathless pawns still spew Bursters out at 100% Severity, and also re-added achievement support for Vanilla Achievements Expanded.

+1 on the compatibility thing. Seems like a really cool mod if that is fixed. :)

Sure, I can get on the Deathless and Perfect Immunity interactions. watch as what should be a five minute task sprawls into a several day ordeal

+1 for proper compatibility with the perfect immunity and deathless genes. Loving the mod!

Would it be possible to make heavily decayed bursters eat dead bursters to reset their decay level ?

Could you make it so perfect immunity negates the mechanite plague? Kinda wild seeing a demigod get killed by a bite he didn't get treated.

Love this mod, a bit too busy in fights.

Not exactly a bug, but weird interaction with "deathless" gene. The person inflicted doesn't die, I assume it is coded to be after death, how about massive damage to torso and other parts then bursts come out and the herdiff is removed? Thanks.

And now, v1.5.2. Featuring Chaos Shells, proper book generation for 1.5's Schematics, as well as various fixes and edits!

As an aside the psycaster path was an amazing surprise, yes I saw one listed, but I didn't imagine it'd be the mechanoid psy path I've always wondered where the heck was!

@Irecreeper As for Anomoly interactions, it would be interesting to see the use of mechanites to protect against the metal plague husks, as well as perhaps an alternative form of zombies that could be puppeteered by a burster inside, i.e 'plague shamblers'

oh yeah i should probably respond to comments, that is a thing that i, the mod author, should do

@苍白而蔷薇: That could be fun, honestly. Odds are though, I'd save abilities for any new mechs I add. As it stands, mechanitor-controlled plague mechs are pretty strong already!

@Mr. obgd: They've been intentionally included in clusters. Is there a reason in particular you wouldn't want them to appear?

@Kazeck: And thank you for playing the mod!

This is so perfect for my new Mechanitor Anomoly Run, and it even has a psycast tree!

Thank you Irecreeper, thank you so much!

i love mod...

And now, Mechanite Plague v1.5.1.1. Minor changes to some research costs, as well as quick patches to Shamblers and Ghouls to render them immune to the Mechanite Plague.

Mechanite Plague v1.5.1 is out now! This updates the mod to work with Rimworld v1.5. More content later, maybe? Anomaly might provide some fun new inspirations.

machine translation
Do you have the idea of adding skills to new mechs, such as the Incubator generating a small amount of Burst to protect itself when attacked. Drivers can achieve acceleration effects and reduce attack cooldown time in a relatively short period of time.
The BOSS machinery used for benchmarking DLC has skills

new phyrexia will rise again

is there a way to stop them from being apart of mechanoid clusters?

WE NEED A VERSION OF THIS MOD THAT DOES THIS WITH BIOLOGICAL INSECTS TOO! Making the spawned insects on the side of the one that infected the pawn. This is amazing

so...using the plague lich psycast with huge psycast scaling...uh I am clearing out imperial camps as a full on terroist, emphiss on Terror...DO NOT NERF

this is hilarious to basically think of the imperials chilling, and then suddenly engulfed by a huge green mist...and then comes the crawling under the skin.

Super fun, I love the psycast tree, and its very enjoyable
