Machines of War

The mod is fully compatible with Biotech DLC. All mechs are able to be gestated within the large mech gestator after researching high mechtech.

Bolsters the mechanoid threat terrorizing the Rim with new powerful additions.

** 12.04.2024 **

• Removed the EM marksman rifle for the 1.5 version of MoW, and reworked it as a part of a separate Ion Weaponry mod. 1.4 and 1.3 versions retain the gun, as to not cause errors with any saves still using it.

** 06.08.2023 **

• Added the breacher variant of the Enforcer, bringing back the anti-structure utility it once had in a separate variant.

• Utilising the functionality added by 1.4, a check was added to limit the number of demolishers that can spawn in a single raid to 6. Also removed 2 raid types that featured almost exclusively demolishers.

• The EM marksman rifle got a new texture... and a bunch of nerfs, with reduced damage and rate of fire. Additionally the EMP damage was reduced and made no longer guarenteed, instead giving it 50% chance to apply.

• Substantially nerfed the loot gotten from shredding the mechanoids of this mod, bringing them in line with vanilla values. Added compatibility with Better Mechanoid Loot (continued) for those who do not like those changes and wish the mech shredding loot to be more generous.

** 14.11.2022 **

• Cicada's ability was reworked - no longer a passive implant, it is now a real ability both enemy and gestated mechs are able to use. See its updated card for more information.

• Enforcer's scattergun no longer deals bonus damage against structures - a new, more dedicated breach variant (similiar to the new centipede variants) will be coming in the "near" future.

• Changed the cost of gestating enforcer and cicada to 150 plasteel, 150 steel and 6 components.

Adds three new mechs (+1 variant) to challenge your colony with...

(An alternative, no wings textures for the Cicada exist in the mod's texture folder. Replace the standard texture with the new one after renaming it if you want a more vanilla-looking insect mechanoid, or simply don't like the wings.)

• VFE - Mechanoids: Thanks to Bonible, you can craft a drone version of the mechs that are on your side. Get it here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2862100403

• Better Mechanoid Loot (continued): Compatible. With it installed, the loot from shredding mechs from this mod will be brought in line to match the values set by BML (c).
