If you mean world pawns, I have no clue. That's a vanilla thing that I don't have control over.

The mechadendrite slots have some coverage similar to other body parts. That's why

whats up with pawns getting 'mechadendrite' injuries ?

Major revision: Zagreus Kane out. Check Changenotes to see what's been updated and what's new. Enjoy

So turns out in one of the more recent minor updates I accidentally undid one of the changes marking the gateway tech as deprecated and setting it back to its old values. I am now fixing it by removing the tech entirely. I am sorry for any confusion this may have caused, cause it sure confused me until I figured it out.

Also copy-pasting existing mechadendrites is not as simple as it sounds. It was so tedius I made a template to standardize and make adding new ones easier. Fun thing is they're in the mod's files too since they don't cause any harm.

Well aren't you in luck. I have plans for hacking mechadendrites already and plan for a tier above standard, though not in the usual sense of progression. Instead, I plan to have the really advanced/intensive mechadendrites in their own ultratech tier where you get great boons but at great cost. I feel as though the full upgrade path from Basic -> Refined -> Standard is more than enough especially when considering the specialised mechadendrites. Thanks for the feedback too, it helps. I will say though is despite sharing the mechadendrite name, these are not meant to directly mirror WH40k's mechadendrites beyond sharing a name for the type of implant.

hmmm maybe you could add hacking mechadendrite, tech priests are known for having in their mechadendrites sometimes a various ports for such purposes. Maybe you could add better mechadendrites "advanced versions" or glitterworld versions like 'Holy Mars series mechadendrites" it could also be cool, just copy paste the last upgrades and make them a bit better and you have greater mod without thinking much about it. Why fumble around when you already done something similiar first? Good mod and peculiar one definetly. A shame other mechanicus mods for cybernetics got discontinued.

@Spass Mehreen It would be cool, unfortunately, I'm not a great artist nor do I know how to do such a thing at this time. Perhaps down the line it could be done but for now, no visuals. My apologies.

Would be cool if it actually added visuals to the pawn like a backpack.

Minor update, changed spinal cord attachment research cost to 1 pending removal next major update to cut down on research bloat and make the tree less tedious to navigate.

@Mondry hope you enjoy it

amazing mod lets try it

Greetings, small question for those who use this mod, is there anything y'all would want to see added or changed? I got ideas but I'm curious to see what y'all would want to see.

Next revision of Mechadendrites expanded, Revision: Khapra, is out bringing in some desperately needed balance passes. Enjoy :)

I will see what I can do, but no promises. Priority one is on balancing atm, mod and DLC compatibility is not really on my radar as of yet. Shouldn't be too hard though. I think.

Also: if the assembly bench from Vanilla Furniture Expanded is detected, could the mechadendrite recipes normally produced on the Fabrication Bench be added to it? Fab Benches are ... busy.

@Ian.conrad
Although right now my focus is on providing mechadendrites to humans, not humanoids, but specifically humans, I may be able to do something about that down the line. Maybe. I have thought about giving the ability for other animals to use mechadendrites for the hell of it, either in their own mechadendrite slots, or, in place of other body parts depending on the animal.

I know it to be heretical -- but the idea of insectoids with mechadendrites in their elytra slots keeps pinging me. It would be amusing if the "... A Dog Said" mod's presence was used to patch such surgeries as an option.

Greetings fellow people of the RimWorld, I come with news. The next update/revision for this mod should hopefully be out sometime next week based on my current estimates, barring anything drastic. It mostly focuses on some much needed balance changes with a small sprinkle of some other goodies. No new mechadendrites unfortunately, those had to be cut in favour of better balancing.

Also if anyone has any complaints about the mod in its current state, say so here or directly to me. I've already identified quite a few but there's undoubtedly more gaps I've not yet caught

Surgery's in the making, pruning shouldn't be too hard, and trade is a toss-up atm, will see what can be done

Surgery Bonus
Trade Improvement
Prune Improvement

In regards to new mechadendrites, what would people want more? Ranged weapons mechadendrites or medical/some other stat boost?

May the Omnissiah help bring about the next phase of mechadendrites

Praise be to the Omnissiah!!!

Not sure when it'll be out but I'm currently in the mist of making the next revision that will have some much needed balance passes and might have some new mechadendrites too. Depends on how long it takes to get some other changes I want made done and tested.

[Conclusion] This brings great satisfaction at both clearing confusion and happiness shown. [/conclusion]

To clarify: I cannot /adequately/ emphasize my happiness thematically.

<Happy toaster noises.>

Praise be to the Omnissiah

The Omnissiah approves

Wait, I think I may have misread something, hope you enjoy the mod regardless

Having just found this mod, I cannot emphasize my happiness thematically.

I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.
Thanks for checking the mod out :)

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.
Thank the Omnissiah for this mod.
