Mycohazard - A Biological Mechanitor Mod

I've noticed most mechanitor-like mods on the workshop are focused on providing jobs or combat functions to large, many pawned colonies and are essentially unusable with a solo colonist or generally low amounts of pawns. Solo mechanitor is one of my favorite ways to play, and thus I've designed a mod specifically to scratch that itch once more. Not only that, there is a distubing lack of cool mushroom related content in the rimworld mod space.

This mod introduces an item, the nexus burgeon, which turns the colonist that ingests into a Fungal Nexus, the origin of your new rothive. devour rotting corpses using new mycelial trees to harvest fungus, or infest them to create new servants that obey the will of the collective and work a plethra of different jobs.

Unlike other mods of this type, fungal servants are generic, and take on a role based on the size of the corpse that was overtaken. This means Mycohazard is compatible with all mods and dlcs that add new living things. Infest creatures from anomaly to use their terrible abilities, Infest black hive insects, Galatross, dragons, titan boas, hydras, fetid ghouls, any modded xenotype, infest the people, infest the animals, infest the monsters, infest it all. If it drops a corpse, and if that corpse can rot, you can take it over.

(this mod will not be responsible for any madness you find yourself caught into for assimilating what you shouldn't.)

But let's go over what is actually in the mod now, shall we?



"Life of archotech origin, the Mycelyss are a type of extremely intelligent fungi which think using human minds and spreads using corpses. They require archotechnology to make any of their advanced biology function, but they are very adept at obtaining it. Many tribal civilizations worship the Mycelyss, thinking of them as messengers of their powerful and wrathful gods."

Let's mention the first one thing one must aquire.



Speaking of which;



(Cosmetic graphics for the fungal nexus can be disabled in mod options, in case you run face or hair mods.)











All fungal servants have a regen of 10hp per day, except the fungal ghoul which has 110hp per day. Fungal Servants cannot eat normal food. Their system is optimized for highly efficient and nutritional slurry, which is created by the fungal node.















But that's not it, there's also new rituals.









But there's also...



There's more, but that already tells you enough. All of them can be crafted at the bioferrite shaper. This mod also adds a few more things, notably 2 new songs that will play when appropriate.

This mod has special compatibility with Medieval Overhaul and Vanilla Races Expanded - Fungoid, however, Mycohazard has a tendecy to cause trouble when played alongside mods that change the game's UI, mix those two at your own risks.
