It is done. I did it. My genetic supersoldier went and grabbed the node while under heavy fire. The maniatical mechlord starjack behind his centipede watched to see if her daughter was capable... we are the new rulers of this rimworld...

I did it, I beat the hive, got the node, and found that there was nothing to be gained in infinite power besides boredom. I killed everyone, sat back with a cup of nutrient paste with my new and only mech friends, and ordered the mech hive to dump so much toxic waste nobody would ever go near this planet again.

honestly great mod, though personally not my thing, I want an upgrade to the very underwhelming vanilla cerebrex node sure but this was far too much power even compared to my usual end game

This mod is so stupidly broken and SO COOL! Amazing work.

Suggestion, if possible, I'd like the cerebrex pack to be a implant, similar to a mechlink. Having it take up the backpack slot isnt a good feeling. This mod would be perfect otherwise!

Is possible to put more time to summon allied mech?

Update:

Fixed a mistake in the code for the following commands:

Override
Reset

Update
Purge

They will now correctly set the faction relations.

Removed harmony dependency as the new method correctly sets the relations.

@[59er]ʕ•ᴥ•ʔDungeonmaster That's weird, unfortunately I can't do anything for you without a log.

Should be fixed now, I tried on dev world gen as well as "new colony" and didn't get the error anymore.

"Could not find player faction." when generating the planet

Very nice mod, would be nice to have a couple mod options to tweak cooldowns and enable/disable certain abilities based on preference.

Very OP very nice.

I encounter little bug with the archonexus quest, looks like when you change the map often it can happen that the cerebrex use will delete your UI and freeze game without crash or logfile.
Could use it freely until i reached 3/3 archonexus

Nice mod i like it. thought i only left node stats and ability to summon supply and orbital bombardment. deleted through files other parts.

Excellent You are God

@Cosmic Meatball It does

does this make mech commander chips renewable post-cerebrex?

@CosmoSweet +1

This is a wonderful mod!

However, there is one thing I struggle with the new Network Access. See, after executing a command, I can't tell if it's enabled (in the case of friendly mechanoids for example), or if I built an oil rig (in the case of settlements). By extension, I do not know if I made settlement mechanoids or not when I order some.

Point being, it would be nice to have a "Status" List of the Mechanoid Hive, where we know what their troops resources settlements status etc... Are. Is this doable? It's more of a quality of life suggestion to make it easy to know what's happening.

FYI: Mechanoid settlements from Network Access spawn empty if you attack them.

I thought it was just a mod to improve this item, but when I opened the console I was happy as a child and felt like a real god

Thanks for the explanation!

@Azure

Basically it's an ability you use that opens up a menu with commands, you then write the command you want to use into the text box and the effect happens.

Could you please explain the network access function?

I run the steam version

@BasedWarlock are you running the steam version of vehicle framework or the github one? I tried with the one on steam and it worked for me

I also am using vehicle framework, i wonder if that might be the cause?

Very cool mod, all aspects work for me except for the network connection, no command works unfortunately :/

no i did not, it was a brand new save with a brand new node, though the log strongly suggested it was vehicle framework that cause the issue and it worked after i removed it

@MilΩMeg4 Can't replicate the issue with just vehicle framework and this mod, did you install this mid save with an existing cerebrex node?

If yes simply destroy the cerebrex node and respawn it with dev mode.

the GUI for both network access and summoning a specific mech either doesn't work or breaks the game completely with vehicle framework

Lovely and amazing mod and more to what I expected of the Odyssey ending to be, thank you so much for your hard work. Is it possible to add a way to completely stop the Cerebrex core from spawning mechanoids? I had in mind to use the base as my main colony and I simply want the core to be a trophy, basicaly.

Can you make confirm button in spawn specific mechanoid selection menu? I know I can adjust quantity first and select the mechanoid, but I always forget and do it in reverse.

@月羽狐 I'd do it if I had art for it, I don't draw so i can't do that myself.

If you can update the texture of this wonderful weapon as well it would be perfect. Currently it looks like a cup of red tea

Update: Made language files to allow for easier translation of the mod

it would be cool to have the apocriton revival ability added to this item! (if its possible)

this is so cool

Update:

Added harmony dependency


New commands for network access menus:

[M.O.O] Mechanoid Offensive Orders:

Update: Synchronize the mechanoids targeting system to ignore current allies.

Purge: Update the mechanoid targeting system to attack everyone. Excluding you.


[M.I] Mechanoid Industry:

Mining: Order construction of sites that will send uranium and gold over time.

Fill: Order filling of the mechanoid excavation sites.


Fix:

Mechs will no longer attack prisoners or slaves.

@leknochentrocken Will be added in the next update

@Rahim

I'm keeping the dev button in case there's ever an issue and people need to activate the drop to see the error message, concerning the balance, I feel it's fine as an item you get for beating the game.

I'm not against making a cell generation for the sites, though it's odd you could enter them since I removed the ability to do that or at least thought I did.

Concerning the mechs attacking the prisoners, I'll see what I can do.

And also, I noticed one oddity: my pawns attack a friendly swarm of mechanoids in close combat. And the swarm also purposefully goes to kill my prisoners!

I love this mod, thanks for making it! Please remove the DEV button to send supplies from the mech factory and balance the mod. The command to call the simulation is very unbalanced, as is the instant deletion of the faction. As an option, you can add a command to call a mechanoid cluster. Also noticed that the factory is essentially missing on the cell as a building, you fly there, and it's empty, somehow not very fun :(

Another suggestion-perhaps allow mechanoids to ally with other factions of your choosing. Right now, for example, if you attack a settlement, the mechanoids will kill the slaves, or if you're being raided and allied support arrives, they end up getting shot by the mechanoids you called in.

@sentinel thats unfortunate honestly, i was looking for a way to stop it without flooding my game with friendly mechs overloading my mechanator.

cool mod though either way.

so cool

@MechaMaria64 It doesn't, you can make the mechanoids allied with this and it should make the raids stop, or you'll just get friendly reinforcements from the mechs.

Does this stop the mechhive from persuing your ship endlessly? I honestly am looking for a way to stop that because the salvage ending not doing that is incredibly frustrating as I was hoping to make a space base once it was defeated, but rely heavily on mechs so losing access to diaboli and war queens is problematic

i would like this as an implant

Love this mod, but would there be a way to make the node's Deactivate ability either low-cooldown or AoE/map-wide? Either way, thanks for your work, this is great!

Thank you! :D

Done, made them deconstructible
