  • Armor is 60% sharp and 40% blunt

  • Supercharge Hydraulics Abillity (Doubles movement speed for 12 hours, 2.5 day cooldown)
  • Capable of Hauling
  • Body size of 1.6 (Equivalent to Termite mechanoid)
  • Requires standard mechtech
  • Only 6 garbage waste packs per charge

Cost:
(Made at Large Gestator)
- 5 Cycles
- 140 Steel
- 60 Plasteel
- 6 Components
- 1 Regular Subcore
- Melee Skill Package (Only if Mechanitor Balance Tweaks is loaded.)

- 100 Steel (Revive)

Misc:
Now requires Harmony

Should be safe to add to Saves, and probably safe to remove as long as you clear out all the content from your save beforehand. (Always make a backup beforehand to be safe!)

Used Vanilla Props Expanded in some of the screenshots: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2102143149&searchtext=

If you're looking for a similar transport like mechanoid (and dont have Biotech) VFE Mechanoids has a similar transport mech known as the "Autostrider": https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2329011599
(Someone pointed out that the mechs seemed similar, while true, at the time of creation I did not have it in mind, either way both vary greatly in implementation.)

This mod is my second Rimworld mod, made after a particular backlog of ancient complex quests and a complete lack of pack animals. I wanted something more stylish for my Mechinator to journey along with and so came this mod, given my moderate lack of experience with the Rimworld Art style I am really happy with how the assets for this mod turned out.

There's More?!:

I may not respond but I love to hear feedback on the mod, my ability to fix issues may not be the best, but this mod is fairly simple anyways and should (hopefully) not have any issues.

Is is at all possible to make logistic mech, or any other mechs for that matter, behave like pack animals when you form a caravan with them?

The things is, when you form a caravan with pack animals the colonists load stuff into the pack animals inventory. But when you form caravan with mechs the mechanitor just takes everything into their own inventory, which makes managing inventory a nightmare.

Is this CE compatible?

@RandomEdits There is not, infact the functionality of them appearing in any faction trader caravan is apart of my Persona Mechanoids mod, regardless of whether this mod is actually present. (The implementation of those is different and not actually usable by the player like the logistics mech in this mod.)

Is there an option to have these guys spawn in a caravan in other factions?

Is there any chance you could change its smoke pop effect to a fire foam pop. I think this makes more sense as its more to do with stock piles than combat

Can you make it's body size 4 or more? Devourer lurping these makes no sense. They are same size. I thought they could do little stopping power but nope.
