Hey! I'm having an issue with this mod and overhaul. Once the NPCs go to refuel their mechs, they are constantly stuck in a refuel loop.

Is there a way for them to leave their mechs once they enter one? Like if I bring them into a ship ambush to fight some pirates can I have them leave their mech once we get into the enemy's ship?

Which mod did you have a problem with?
Boo 22 Apr @ 8:00pm 
Update: I finally encountered NPC mechs that were functional. It's possible that the original issue was a clash with another mod.
It's still true however that this mod is kinda a one-way trip. Download with extreme caution.

... So, no NPC mech I encountered was even functional (they were all stuck, and even if I got them un-stuck they'd just sit there), and trying to remove the mod resulted in NPC's insta-dying. @fae ❄ is right. I'm now it a rough spot where I must have this mod installed for the duration of my current run, even though it's actively harming it.

THIS MOD IS A TRAP. DO NOT SUBSCRIBE. It has the potential to effectively ruin your save.

Well unfortunately when you uninstall this mod you'll lose all your crew members, they instantly die whenever you go anywhere and the only way to fix it is to re-install the mod and dismiss all crew members.

Very cool idea, at least until you run into a mech that one-shots you and you cant pick up your items because its still there after you respawn and beam down. Desperately needs balancing.
Kooldude541 15 Mar @ 6:09pm 
Cool but i think It needs to be balanced.

Favoriting this; will def consider subscribing when crew can dismount with you.

Agreed, just tried the NPCs being in the mech for the first time and I had wished there was a way to ask them to hop off their mechs, especially in small areas.
Granaticus 7 Feb, 2024 @ 4:27am 
it would be nice if u could customize ur crews mechs
Trapunch 4 Oct, 2023 @ 1:00am 
Can you make a patch to make sure npcs/crews hop off mech if player hops off mech on non-space surface/zone
EnderSpartanIV 21 Jul, 2023 @ 11:18am 
now if only someone would make a mod for npc's to get in shuttles or other vehicle mods lol
P3nguinza 17 Jun, 2023 @ 5:36pm 
The Npcs are "stuck" and will not move
Moses 3 May, 2023 @ 8:45pm 
+Zazen, i also think there should be enemy npc mechs. an all out mech battle would be awesome
Grand Poo-Bah de Canadiannaise 22 Apr, 2023 @ 6:22pm 
... I was hoping this was enemy npcs having mechs!
Sarcose 24 Dec, 2022 @ 8:49pm 
Pretty much breaks balance by having them spawn in mechs potentially more powerful than your own. It would be more work but perhaps it would be better to flesh this out into a system where you have to buy additional mechs for them to pilot.
AvnoHaveNoArts 3 Dec, 2022 @ 2:52pm 
can they come out of their freakin mechs my guy,

...What LMAO

learned that this doesnt work with Captain Noble. I now headcanon him as a femboy who cosplays as Hastune Miku.
Super Brasilis 14 Jan, 2022 @ 12:02pm 
The crew just start to massacre people anywhere in a village and start the DOOM's DAY there.
Landeun 26 Nov, 2021 @ 8:36pm 
I've come across a problem where my crewmate's mech won't spawn in the UI and they won't deploy and I can't change what parts are on the mech and I think it's from another mech mod that is causing it; Is there a way I can manually reset my crewmates mech to fix this manually?
Arkezuli 25 Nov, 2021 @ 11:19am 
Great, this mod ruins any NPCS from NPCSpawner+... guess I'll have to uninstall... fml
Arkezuli 25 Nov, 2021 @ 11:07am 
Am I missing something, or I can't color my Crew's mechs differently from mine?
Shédoureyz 20 Oct, 2021 @ 11:27am 
Maybe they can get out of their mech when we inside of a ship or station?
Chet Walters 11 Sep, 2021 @ 1:19am 
This looks totally cool. Will it be updated? I see there are some glitches.
hannie 28 Aug, 2021 @ 2:10pm 
cool mod xd does exactly what is advertised

kinda sad that the npc's don't get out of the mech when you do but it's not that big of a deal
Kyemera 10 Aug, 2021 @ 5:08pm 
This mod is great and super useful for fighting stuff in space. I just wish that once we board a ship they would exit there mechs when i do. kinda annoying that they stay in their mechs and teleport to me still in them if i get far away.
EzraNox 21 Feb, 2021 @ 3:20am 
I love the mod, it works fine at first but now my NPCs just stuck in the mechs not moving. beaming down with mech and also deploy mechs just make them stand still not moving
PEPSI_WOMAN 9 Feb, 2021 @ 8:24am 
is there a way to get the Mech's to look the same?
ShiroZor 5 Feb, 2021 @ 6:42am 
I couldn't dismiss my missing npc that still on mech and re-subscribing this mod arent helping me solve the problem
ShiroZor 5 Feb, 2021 @ 6:41am 
I seems to have a problem that my npc are stuck being a mech and cant teleport back to my ship along cant bring my soldier npc to any planet and cant also doing anything while on mech except float and lure many enemy to my indestructible npc. Does someone have this kind of problem and maybe any solution?

5 star review
Archursor 30 Dec, 2020 @ 3:42pm 
This is what I needed.... Now not only I have a powerful mech but now my crewmates can! :steamhappy:
EzraNox 14 Dec, 2020 @ 2:20am 
I have a problem where my crewmembers just Stand still in there mechs not moving for some reason, Idk why but it works at first..
AbyssStarer 9 Dec, 2020 @ 9:12pm 
I really hope this is still getting updated, crew mates being able to leave their mechs is something I've been hoping to see
El Pijurro 29 Nov, 2020 @ 10:19am 
would it be possible to have this compatible with other mech mods too?
Anker 15 Nov, 2020 @ 2:07am 
Doesn't seem to work with items that deploy the mech in a mission or without initially deploying it while teleporting.
Enderzilla747 19 Sep, 2020 @ 7:03pm 
Howard you only need to own a mech and have crewmembers follow you.
千雫长雨 19 Sep, 2020 @ 2:23am 
If I get off the vehicle, npc wont they get off the vehicle?
Asher 4 Sep, 2020 @ 11:06am 
where do i find the item for it
Enderzilla747 31 Aug, 2020 @ 10:26pm 
Just noticed I'm in the credits
crossphase1 31 Aug, 2020 @ 11:47am 
have you beaten the echirus quest and then talked to the penguin with glasses? you need to get a mech before this mod works or it would be over powered
Malware 23 Aug, 2020 @ 12:55pm 
How can i use Deploy Mech? I cannot see the button, just see normal deploy.
Drecknath 15 Jul, 2020 @ 7:15am 
if only the mechs they spawned in where linked to what you where useing


this can be a problem on both ends of the spectrum
when you start out you don't want to see your crew useing end game weapons
and after end game you don't want them to use early game weapons

i appreaceate the mod as it is because it is slightly random what they spawn with
however it can lead to issues
also i wish if you got out of your mech they would follow suit and get out of theirs
CodyProductions 28 Apr, 2020 @ 10:12am 
Is there any way you can choose parts for their mechs?
Skitter 22 Apr, 2020 @ 8:45pm 
An on/off switch would be nice. Sometimes you don't need thirty mechs.
Cyber Von Cyberus 19 Apr, 2020 @ 7:55am 
Is this mod safe to uninstal ?
SHOPPIP 4 Apr, 2020 @ 1:44pm 
uhh is it normal that one of them has two end-game weapons when i just got a mech o_o
Kons Guild of Golden Idiots 30 Mar, 2020 @ 12:53am 
is it possible for them to learn to get out of the mechs when you do?
