Alpha Mechs

Features

• 7 new mechanoids: The Aura, Daggersnout, Goliath, Phalanx, Siegebreaker, Fireworm and Demolisher make their return. The 7 mechs will appear in raids, clusters, etc, and they can be disabled separately through mod options.

• With Biotech: If the player has Biotech, a HUGE amount of content will be unlocked

  • 26 new mechanoids, including 11 utility mechs, 12 combat mechs and 3 challenging (but not absurdly so) “boss” mechs
  • 3 new mechanoid chips
  • 2 new armors, 2 new helmets, 3 new utility packs and a warcasket
  • 11 new buildings
  • 8 new research projects to unlock all the content

• With Vanilla Factions Expanded - Mechanoid, plus Biotech: another huge chunk of content is added: 7 new mechanoids in two types. First of all, the “clean” versions of the Aura, Daggersnout, Goliath, Phalanx, Siegebreaker, Fireworm and Demolisher that appear in VFE - Mechs groups. Secondly, their advanced versions, which appear when mechs do a hardware upgrade. The player can also research a hardware upgrade to build these advanced mechanoids, as well as the Slurrymaster

• New mechs are added with: Vanilla Races Expanded - Sanguophage, Vanilla Genetics Expanded, Vanilla Fishing Expanded, Vanilla Books Expanded, Alpha Bees, and Rimatomics

FAQ

Q: I don’t like certain things, can I remove them? A: Use Owlchemist's Cherry Picker mod!

Q: Does this need Biotech DLC, Alpha Animals / Biomes / etc A: No

Q: Is it compatible with another mod that adds mechs? A: It should

Q: Does this work with Combat Extended? A: They say it is

Q: Reeee this is bloat! I like my things that add things to add less things to the thing!!! A: Aww, look, it has learned how to type on a keyboard! How quaint!

License, or something

I don't like retextures. If you retexture my mods I reserve the right to change the file paths of the image at random intervals, messing up your mod
