I also recommend checking out the Better Mechs mod if you haven't already. It features more loadouts, with the double rocket one being particularly useful for handling large groups of strong mobs towards the end, with the caveat of it doing friendly fire.

Mechs are weird in the way that they function. They're technically buildings with how the game handles their traits and logic.

That said, I *might* be able to make a trait that can apply that if the code works out as unlike other buildings, there is colonists linked to them. I'll look into it.

It sounds crazy, but then increase the damage based on the level of the "combat" skill. (Although I haven't seen this yet)

Unfortunately not because that's an animation speed thing, and they can't be altered. Shame that as there's other things tied to animation speed I'd like to do.

I don't know if it's possible, but is there a trait that improves the control of mechs?
