Excuse me, but can you make a patch for the Caretaker mechanoid? (I'd really like for the player to be able to choose whether the shield is infinite or breaks, and to be able to turn it on or off.)

Oh good, I'm not the only one who thinks the caretaker shield is too strong.

Can you add so that the Harpy mechanoid uses its ability by itself? In raids, they would fly away from enemies when approached, and if it’s the player’s mechanoid, there could be an option to choose whether it flies away automatically or the player controls it manually

@SERAGONDON the wraith siege bug isn’t the problem on my side probably. I tested it a while back with only RM and it didn’t work so.

@KaotiKBiscuit you sure that you’re having the bug only if this mod is installed?

Could have also been an unrelated bug, I didnt dig too far into it, but figured i'd say something in case anyone else had issues.

Hey guys, if your save is affected by this update (this is the only mod in a list of 208 that affects mechs that updated today for me):
Mechanitors were no longer able to complete some bills (worked for one bill but then failed the rest after gestation)
Close the game, verify integrity of files, reload the game then enable dev mode and delete any gestators. Replace them with dev mode, add and start the bill, use dev mode if you want to finish the cycle, and it should work from there. At least it has worked since then for me.

I found that's in my ongoing save with this mod removed mechanoids faction from RM
Regained them using VEF, but I'll be observing

By new game I mean vanilla game dev mode with only RM mods enabled

Wraith spawned similiar to siege raid with fortifactions bluprints
but mechanoids seems don't care about them, is this OK?
Also on ongoing save catch that boss (Wraith in my case) spawned without faction so boss is neutral. I wasn't able reproduce it on new game but try investigate it further

thanks for fix summon seems to work now

I assume I was using unstable version somehow. So the drop pod fixing came to the stable version as well, thus there might be no issues for that now. If you are still faced with the bug related to summoning bosses, be sure that you're using latest version of rimworld and this mod.

hi, is that intended that bosses from this mod can't be summoned on events maps (complex etc)?
Vanilla bosses still can be summoned. After my attempts to summon caretaker on ancient complex map summoning building just disapreared. I also reproduced it on vanilla game + this mod + all necesary dependencied (RM2, harmony, vanilla expanded framework, all dlc)
Also it seems the killing counter in this case is still increments so next bosses raids becomes stronger

After testing, the problem has been solved in the last version. Amazing

Temporally reverted to the previous version.

and yes, if you decide on something, tell me not to wait, if you refuse or I should wait for something else (to be honest, I have a couple of ideas for this mod, if you want, I can suggest a couple of ideas)

or completely change the way the boss appears on the map (for example, not through capsules, but leave the method of appearance through the summoning antenna, but change the boss's arrival itself)

I have one idea how to fix the problem, but I'm not sure if you'll want to do it at all. The idea is to change the way the boss is summoned (for example, via the communication console) or on abandoned spaceships to make it so that there is one boss per base (in Vanilla Factions Expanded - Insectoids 2 there is a bug boss at the beetle base) maybe this is how you can fix it

I have no idea, it is working perfectly in my case. So there's nothing I can do.

I'm not quite sure the cause of the error, but I confirmed that the error message is indeed for the latest version (8.21).
I just re-verified the game files on Steam, but after entering the game, the error message still popped up. What could be wrong that causes other people to have the same problem?

Again, it got fixed already.

Error summary
System.MissingMethodException: Method not found:
RimWorld.QuestPart_DropPods RimWorld.QuestGen.QuestGen_Misc.DropPods( … )

What it means
The Reinforced Mechanoid2 Extended mod tries to spawn the “Wraith/Locus/Caretaker“ boss quest.
During quest generation it calls QuestGen_Misc.DropPods(…) with a method signature that was valid when the mod was compiled, but the exact overload no longer exists in your current RimWorld build.


The runtime therefore throws a MissingMethodException and the quest fails to initialize.

if possible, tell me how to fix this if it's just me

gpt chat said that the problem is in vanilla framework or in the old method of summoning the boss (I still don't understand why it doesn't work, it doesn't work without mods either and the error is the same)

I don't know why but the boss summon still doesn't work for me (even though I've already reinstalled the mod and downloaded it again)

@Hibab10 See change notes please it was already fixed.

hi! for some unknown reason i can't call the boss, it gives this error https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/abdf14c406eb5e745c2f23008f1cdaa8

He didn’t start repairing them from a distance — he started fixing them just as effectively as a mech, and the energy is consumed just as quickly.

@Hibab10 If the mechanitor started repairing from a distance, that is a bug. Otherwise, no way.

After installing this mod, the mechanitor started repairing with the efficiency of the Vulture mechanoid, and the energy disappears before my eyes, although I don’t think it’s supposed to happen.

@Hibab10 I have no idea what in the world you are talking about... You are referring to the vulture right? The job driver of vulture's repairing is totally different from the mechanitor's one so it couldn't be.

Hi! I found a bug. After your update to the Scavenger mechanoid, which allows it to repair mechs from a distance, there’s now an issue: when the mechanitor repairs mechs, their energy drops as if they are being repaired by the Scavenger instead of the mechanitor.

when you do get to updating this maybe if you want make it so the gestalt engine gets better bandwith because at this point at level 4 of the engine it only has 50 bandwith and the antennae only add one bandwith per node

@Eclair Looking forward to an update when you get around to it. Thanks for all the hard work, mate!

@Eclair
Mlie has just posted a 1.6 version of Reinforced Mechanoid 2.
The time has come for this sub-mod to rise once more!

It's time.

This will probably get updated when the RM2 mod does. Not sure why some people think it'd get done before...

cant wait for an update

1.6 ?

1.6 ?

@FlamingLlama Yup, caretaker should appear in normal raid in 3 years, wraith in 5 years, locust in 7 years.

@Brawler I wondered if I should fix that but I thought these three was made for kinda artillery using...so I left the feature behind.

Are the new bosses meant to still spawn in raids? I got a caretaker raid with the new shield values, so at least some parts are working.

This is a hell of a mod. I thought these three needed some love... are they still god-awful slow? I'd love it if they matched the Centipede in speed.

Sorry, I can't notice that because I was using smarter raider AI... Should be fixed.

@Moonlit I have the same Problem, all raiders have problem with pahtfinding to the base and no errorlog for report

请问昨天更新了什么导致袭击的小人完全不进攻基地，他们只会在外面闲逛，很抱歉因为没有显示报错日志，我只能确定是最近的更新导致的

@John Li Idk because no logs, and it works well on my side, and I'm not sure you're having other mods or not.

Why when I click on the “Gestalt” drawing, the game UI disappears directly, and then I can't use the left mouse button (pressing the left mouse button is useless) to place the Gestalt drawing on the ground, and I can't use the right mouse button to cancel the construction of the model. And I can't control the game time. In the end, I can't do anything, the game is out of control, and the game UI is gone. The only solution is to force quit. Can you try to solve it?

CE patch? Yk somebody has to ask...

or you could borrow the screech/scream from Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone
