@evenstar In-game: yes
Lore-wise: IDK, but probably not as those aren't liquid.

Question:
Can it eats chezborgor

yep, sure did! its not even remotely accurate to mechit biology (boobs would have no evolutionary function for one lol), but honestly as long as folks have fun, who am i to yuck their yum!

i could do that, though i feel the eyes work well with the mouth and screen as they are. that said, i welcome any patches, youre welcome to make a patch for personal OR public use

this got a patch for that get rid of underwear mod??? i guess anything can have a lewd version nowadays lol
anyways, good mod but i think you should move the left eye a pixel to the right so the eyes wouldn't be so spaced out

alrighty! Thanks! I'll keep this in mind for later! I'll have it as a separate mod for now maybe, though currently I'm trying to work with PVTSkittles on scaling layout to proper ship scale so I can uhh- start making the sprite for the ship itself, though Skittles hasn't responded in a couple days due to work from what they said earlier in their once-a-day responses

@Freian Of Void -- of course!! it is, at the moment, limited to the "wake up" and "wake player" dialogue, but since 'AI' is important to the mechit, i do want to do more in the future. alternatively, i do have the NYE sail addon that youre also welcome to reference (and i DO encourage making a separate "rewrite all sail dialogue" mod, its a ton of fun :P)
let me know if you have questions, i started this mod a couple years ago before knowing how to properly code, so not all of it is intuitive! my discord is neoncityrain if you wanna reach out more directly too

Hey, I noticed the Mechit had custom SAIL dialog specific to their race, something I've been wondering how to do for a while for my own race. May I use the Mechit mod files as reference for that so I can add custom SAIL dialog to my own race? (My previous attempts have uhh- made all dialog be replaced by the custom dialog)

I've reverted the changes- this SHOULD prevent that issue from happening again. Looking more into it, I'll probably want to make a separate mod to tweak the ship, which sucks a tad, but not as much as losing all your stuff!!
Thank you for letting me know, I appreciate it.

eh dont worry about it, for me its not thaaat bad since i was only on the second tier, i can probably just admin most of the stuff back "thankfully i havent put my materials into any containers on there yet LOL", though it might be a bigger problem for others who are farther along

oh my god thats . frightening. shit my bad. if you havent saved since then, i can try giving you files to set your ship back, or you can re-download the old version via google drive-- if you have, im not 100% sure how to fix that. i am extremely sorry for the trouble, and will keep that in mind in the future;;

so uh, earlier as i was playing, my ship reset everything that was in it, im assuming this is because of the wall change to make them books instead, in one of the recent updates

thank you!! appreciate it greatly <3 thank you for the interest as well! makes it even more exciting to work again :D

aw hell yessssss.
More than willing to wait uv u!

Also good luck on the move!

YEAH!! in fact thats one of the things i am thinking of the most, these days! ive been writing a bunch more lines of dialogue in preparation, too; but im moving soon, so who knows if itll get done before then, hah.
i actually chattered about this on my tumblr blog two years ago (yeesh, its been a hot minute)-- the link is here if you wanna see [www.tumblr.com]! though if youd prefer to be surprised, i SUPER get that too ;3

Yer fine!
I love these little dudes, might do a Run with one of them after the Spirit run x3

also, any plans for towns/hubs? I would LOVE to run across these little guys in our SMP one day :3

Even so! The mod is back up, re-linked in the description- you and anyone else who so desires are also welcome to make your own patches and/or additions in the future. I have actually been picking this back up and making more scan dialogue, so maybe you'll have more in some aspects at least!
Apologies for any trouble, and honestly, thank you for reaching out.

Don't blame you at all. It's a shame such a good mod(or mod set) is owned and ran by <such> people.
But there's no way to replace it really, sadly.

Err, yes. I am wary of FU in general after learning more about it. I could reupload it I suppose, but I'll explicitly state that I will not be maintaining it.

Seems like the FU patch doesn't exist anymore.
This has caused issues for our server @~@

am i late chat..........

@hyena.tar.gz, thank you for letting me know!! i was not very familiar with coding in general when i made this, but i am getting re-interested in starbound, so that will be very helpful

@shadow 4378a thatd be a good idea, i love adding compatibilities. will have to look into that! if you happen to know of any resources thatd help teach me how to do so, thatd be easier, but if not then ill look into it on my own time.

@Emerald just one (rare) building for now, but ive been seriously contemplating how mechit towns and villages would look lately. if this updates in the next month, expect that to be one of the first changes, too! ive been learning more about architecture and building design and such.

Does your mod have Towns/Villages?

was wondering if there was any chance to get compatibility with customizable sail?

Ah hey, fossils aren't being added to the treasure pool index. You may want to try to add each fossil using one operation at a time and use "/humanoidfossil/0/1/pool/-" or something like that, because the structure of the file original file is weird.

oh, thats completely fine by me!! "open species" generally means you can make characters of the species all you want, but i really dont own the ip of lore-hunters either :P
though, im SUPER glad to have inspired folks!! id love to see what ya come up with!

but yah as long as youre not blatantly copying what i do and passing it off as your own (which has happened before), we are good tbh

@Orifan1 I've read the Mechit were a "completely open species" (linked webpage on the description), so I -- perhaps mistakenly -- assumed i could do this. If that is the case and NCR doesn't allow it, I will be happy to comply and not release anything to the public.

However, the project I'm working on is only for my friends and me. I have no intentions to sell it or anything, and in any case i would release it for free for anyone to enjoy as they please (while adding a referece to the mod's page or the Mechit race page as the ispiration source, as a sign of gratitude). Hopefully there is no problem with that, but let me know if there is.

like, based if so, but NCR's not exactly an IP squatter so its not exactly a justifiable hijack if you dont have permission

do you even have permission to do that? is this IP under Free and Open Source Literature?

These fluffy creatures have inspired me to make a spacefaring role-playing game about their search of lore thoughout the stars... many thanks for the mod @NeonCityRain !
And if you'd like to know more you can send me a message

these things are literally my favorite species, imo they top THAT ONE species if you know what i'm talking about. i've been waiting forever for a mechit avatar to appear on vrchat or roblox, anything like that, because i'd absolutely use that forever.

nice. thank you for your time.

Sure, that's fine. Probably would work better anyway lol

if you took the patch down. does this mean I can make my own. for personal use?

Yeah, I realised I was uncomfortable as hell with being a part of all that and took down the Frackin support mod.
@Rock Lightning Plasma, THANK YOU!! I love character design and species design so it was a lot of fun!! :D
@Metaskully, it was intended to be paired with a certain big lore(? yea we'll say that) release in the future. If you want to bypass this, you should be able to add its index to its race file! (I believe the index would be 11?) It's still in the files, just hidden by default.

Why is the No monitor one unavailable?

The most effort put into a race mod i've ever seen. You outdid yer'self here, especially with the lore. The only reason I play games or add mods is for more lore and storyline and I never expected a race mod to add more. Can't wait for more to be added, and might I add the design for these little guys are just... *dies*

my that no monitor sprite looks absolutely brutal
also i should definitely give this mod a try

its still gone

odd

huh. the frackin universe patch for the mechit got taken down

Thank you! Love the race so I was curious

Bit smaller than the average human! They're a lot larger than they look :3c

Question. How tall would the average Mechit be? They look small and absolutely adorable based on the drawings you have on the page but I'm curious to what their actual height would be

I generally don't care if people enjoy these guys in that way, so there's a SxB patch on other sites. It IS out there. Prolly wherever you get SxB from lol

there's a fucking WHAT

Yuppie

There IS a SxB patch! I wont link it here for obvious reasons, but it exists.

SxB support need we

Of course! Thank you for your curiousity, I love speculative biology like this :]

Thank you! You are helpful

@HydraX213 We humans have electric currents in our systems- Mechit have stronger ones in their blood! For the Grimalkit (their ancestors), they would use their metallic whiskers to release shocks into things and eating helps to restore their energy. The Mechit evolved alongside their tech, meaning they intake nutrients through the whiskers on the back. A young Mechit has its non-food whiskers cut to allow the tech to directly access their blood, making a current through it.

If a Mechit doesn't eat, it loses power and may lose its ability to light its screen!

Unfortunately, this also means that anything that damages its tech can damage or even poison the Mechit, though.
