Mechs and Animals for NPC Factions

Description
A simple mod inspired by the great Rimsenal - Spacer Faction Pack mod that inserts various combat animals and mechs into the base game and DLC NPC factions to be used as raid and trader guard pawns.

If you've ever wondered why tribals are not taming animals to be used as combat fodder in their raids or industrial and higher factions don't have their own mechs and mechanitors, this mod might be the perfect fix for it.

The animals given to tribal factions range from timber wolves and wargs to rhinos and elephants, and the mechs added include militors and pikemen to different centipede variants.
Each animal and mech is added depending on the tech level and the theme of each faction to preserve the overall balance and immersion, so no centipede blasters for outlanders and so on.


Compatible with Combat Extended.

Thanks for a mod.
It would be cool to see the mechanoids fight to the last and cover the retreat, and not retreat along with the pawns.

is there some way to config the mod or try going crazy?
i'm using this as a replacement for 'faction blender', that one made 2 completely random factions and one is enemy by default, besides random xenos it allowed all animals and mechs (included modded) and iirc it also allowed all the other factions to use animals and mechs
if not well, sad, but i got tired of faction blender since it forced me to use humanoid alien races and it is a tps hog :dip:

I've gotten siege error spam with mechs too.
2 things that kinda come to mind:

- When I look at Yttakin Pirates files in Biotech folders, it seems that
<disallowedStrategies>
<li>Siege</li>
</disallowedStrategies>
is used to prevent certain raid compositions like all-melee from sieging. This might be usable to prevent mechs from appearing in siege raids, preventing the error.

- The Corporation is a mod that mixes mechs among its humans when raiding you, but I can't find any comments mentioning this error (just folks mentioning something with Hospitality). This likely means its creator figured out a way to prevent the error spam, so you could ask them what they did.

Same problem as Ratboy, siege raids throwing sh!t tons of errors because I assume it's trying to make the mechs build

!UPDATE!

Yeah, this mod is causing this error. In a mod list with just the expansions (sans Anomaly) and this mod, I get this error spammed.

A siege seemed to spam my error log whilst there was a militor on the enemy's side.

Using dev commands to delete the militor fixed my issue.

I'm assuming that since sieges require the enemy to build the mortars and such, it bugs out since some mechanoids can't build.

I'll test this later on a modlist with just this mod to make sure this is the culprit.

just got a pigskin raid consisting of single militor, no other pawns. I think this shouldn't happen.
thanks for your work btw :)
