Mechanoid Waiter

Description
Description
Adds a mechanoid that can work as a Waiter for a Restaurant using the Gastronomy mod. Also adds a new cash register that only mechanoid waiters can use. It requires both: Gastronomy, and Biotech to work.

The building and the mech are unlocked with Standard Mechtech.
Mech Recipe: x75 Steel, 1 Standard Subcore.


Mechanoid Waiters can also Haul, but they are slower than normal lifters. However, this it may be useful to restock the shelves of your restaurant. Just assign one or two off hours on the shift of your mechanoid to make it stop waiting and start restocking. I also suggest to assign them to a zone that only includes: The restaurant, the kitchen, the freezer and some charging spot.

There is also the universal mech recharger mod that has wide range wireless recharging, if keeping mechs charged up is a concern.

You could always make it so that the Waiter Robots simply have more energy that depletes slowly.

@TurtleShroom: The other Cash Register only let you select colonists. I COULD make a patch to make it also show mechanoid waiters, but since the mechanoids are robots, I thought a computer cash register would be more fitting. Also, my initial intention was to make Stand By waiter mechs to have reduced discharging rate (as if they were connected to the register), but I'd have to rewrite the whole Stand By job for that, so I discarded that idea...

@Omegaprime02: You can check the source code directly from Github [github.com] if you want. The black magic is that this mechanoid have skills and a background, as any colonist. But the background is blank (so, it does not add any traits) and the mechanoid skill-checks are hardcoded to 10 (so having the mechanoid level up it's social does not do anything).

@Zaljerem: Cool!

This is EXACTLY what I've been wanting for years, it's getting hot-dropped into my modlist right now.

(Calmly breaks into files to learn whatever black magic you've discovered)
