Alright, I've added vacuum resistance to each piece based on the values for other spacer tech warcaskets. Hopefully the VEF team doesn't make any more changes that I need to later account for!

@Kierannkkt
The WarcasketBase must have change because only the advanced Warcasket get the Vacuum Resistance now. So inheriting from the WarcasketBase isn't going to give Vacuum Resistance any more. You might have to add it manually into the Mechlord Warcasket parts.

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Love the mod!

@ThroatGOAT the warcasket inherits the vacuum resistance of the WarcasketBase class from VFE pirates, which is marginally less than a vacsuit (0.3 compared to 0.32). The full set provides a huge amount of insulation so should be good for the cold of the vacuum of space.

Since it doesn't mention in the description and it's important, does this Warcasket provide vacuum resistance or temperature protection?

Okay, that seems to be fixed now (hopefully). Let me know if any other issues show up.

Thanks for the heads up, it seems that the Vanilla Expanded team has refactored the names of some of their classes, I'll have to dig through and update the class names referenced here

In same log also line 2329 is no longer present after removing mod. It looks like in VFE Pirates for 1.6 this node is now:
<li Class="VEF.Apparels.CompProperties_ShieldBubble">

I think there is some incompatibility with VFE:

There is an XML error at line 2337 and it appears this is Def from this mod.
VFE Pirates has following Def for 1.6, it is different than for 1.5:

<li Class="VEF.Pawns.TraitExtension">
<painFactor>0</painFactor>
<apparelExclusiveTrait>true</apparelExclusiveTrait>
</li>

Issue is not visible in log after I have removed mod.

@Failure Stats are 185% sharp armor, 100% blunt armor, and 150% heat armor. The whole set gives 100% tox resistance, -0.4 move speed, +100% mech repair speed, +50% mech gestation speed, +20% mech work speed, +1 mech control group, and +22 mech bandwidth

Overall I believe the stats are worse than the later tier Alpha mechs warcaskets, since those come from the additional tiers added by that mod.

What's the stats? Want to see how this compares to alpha mech's warcasket

No worries I have other mods for the drafting issue and having other pawns temporarily isn’t a big deal.

@queenelise9830 You should be able to, although forming a caravan means that you won't have any pawns in your colony to draft in case of a raid - and you can't draft combat mechanoids if their mechanitor isn't on the map.

Also because of how warcaskets work you'd have to have a second pawn at least temporarily to actually build the warcasket onto your mechanitor.

If the mechlord is my only pawn, can I trade with other human factions still?

THIS is what I've been looking for. A mod for warcaskets to do tasks without it being as easy as just making them able to do it. AND a mod that allows me to have a mechanical robot overlord like frickin General Grievous.
Let that just be "thanks".

Facts.

@Kierannkkt (Heavy) Well if the mechantor has mechs to do work why should they do work

@Device
They shouldn't break each other, but since this mod uses a custom trait and not the normal Warcasket trait, Warcasket Can Work won't make any more work types available for the mechlord warcasket specifically

does this mod compatible with warcasket can work mod?

compatible with mechlord warcasket mod?

@Liam
When a pawn is in the warcasket foundry they can't move to go and eat or gain recreation or anything, so you've got to be quick about building them.
Make sure you have all of the required materials for the warcasket available already in your colony, and preferably near the foundry. Then order another pawn to prioritize working at the foundry to get it done quickly.

If you're having technical difficulties with the foundry or warcaskets in general and not this one specifically then the place to ask is probably on the VFE pirates mod rather than here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/?id=2723801948

i cant make a warcasket without them geting a extrem break risk and starvation
can someone help

This looks awesome, reminds me of Shockwave

Indeed, it works as EVA with SOS2. Also I've corrected the insulation values.

As far as I can tell, SOS2 patches the Warcasket base class to have the EVA stats, so it should work. I'll do some quick testing to make sure.

As for the insulation, this is just an oversight on my part and will be corrected.

Sos2 is now in 1.5 here on steam! they changed the eva tag for armors, so will this get the eva tag? would love if it does!

Is it deliberate that the Mechlord warcasket doesn't insulate as well as the other Spacer-tech caskets? While the others provide 80, 10 and 22 for the body, head and shoulders on each range respectively, the Mechlord casket only really seems to be circa the range of the Barrage casket.

Now updated for 1.5

As far as I know nothing in 1.5 should break it, I'll do some quick testing to make sure and persuade Rimworld that this is indeed the case.

Can this be updated to 1.5, perhaps?

i always love to see it when im browsing workshop and i see a mod that i had previously thought "dang why doesn't this exist already?"

That is great!

I'm going to make a "Prestige Spacer Warcaskets" mod which will have integration with this. Its exam season so I don't have time currently, but probably in about 2 weeks.

Would it be possible to add a prestige variant?

fair enough

Not currently, I may add a patch when SoS2 is updated to 1.4 on steam. I'm not sure I want to make a patch for the experimental branch.

Question, will this have the EVA flag when installed with mods like SoS2?

Cool idea!

Thank you!! Had to edit this in with the Rimmsqol mod

If I see this I will jut give up

Ever since I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.

I've just updated it with CE compatibility.

CE compatibility?

Wish factions attacked just like how you see in the Authors preview picture, dont even need the formation, just some decked out dude with an army. great mod :D

Thanks, for making this it will replace my Bothced together version that I made my self after Biotech came out, I just used the base Stats of on of the other Warcaskets and added the Mechlord Stats.

I also would love to see a prestige version!

why does it feel like im playing as a tau... (WH40k) lol

I haven't tested it, but I would assume that if VFE - Pirates itself works with multiplayer then this should too.

Kieran, do you think this should work in multiplayer?
