[WotC] Useful Autopsies – ADVENT MEC

Description
Let's get this straight. You've got a pile of MEC wrecks sitting unused in storage, apparently based on the design of your own SPARK units. And yet, examining the wrecks provide no insight into your own ventures – and you have to make the whole SPARK from scratch every time? Is your whole staff crazy? It makes no sense!

With this mod, SPARKs can no longer be built without first completing the MEC Breakdown project – and those wrecks can then be reused to build your SPARKs at much less cost. You're a ragtag band of resistance fighters, after all, not a government-funded robot factory. For once, Tygan can predict this outcome – and it is intriguing...

FEATURES
  • SPARKs cannot be built until MEC Breakdown is researched
  • each unit costs 1 MEC Wreck, 1 Elerium Core, 10 Alloys, and 60 Supplies
  • unit build time reduced from 14 days to 10
  • relevant descriptions are updated so the mod fits in seamlessly with the base game

The mod has been thoroughly tested for bugs so it shouldn't give you any trouble. I always aim for my mods to be of the highest quality so they feel like just another part of the game.

COMPATIBILITY

This mod doesn't override any classes, so it should be compatible with almost anything. The only things to worry about are any mods which alter how SPARKs are obtained.

IMPORTANT: The Integrated DLC option should be checked for this mod to work; unexpected behaviour may occur otherwise. It is compatible with existing saves.

If you like the mod, give it a thumbs up, and enjoy!

Does not work with LWOTC. Won't crash your game, but won't affect proving ground/research.

@ArcaneData If integrated DLC is not checked this is my experience on what happens. After mechanized warfare it is possible to build sparks but it is not possible to build them from enemy mec units until Advent Mecs have been researched.

would be a cool more with the supply raids where you can capture inactive mec units and reprogram them into your own forces

Hi. Compatible with LWOTC? Your work is amazing, congratulations. Thanks!

I like this mod, makes it more realistic than being able to create an armada of Sparks, now you actually need to recycle a mec

@gliscor96 - most likely.

...would your previous comment also be true of this mod being paired with: Mechatronic Warfare: Total SPARK Overhaul for instance?

@Speed demon - It probably won't cause any serious issues to use both together - but you might have two different proving ground projects for making SPARKs from MEC wrecks (one from each mod).

Will this work with metal over flesh redux?

This is perfect, thank you mate!
Vanilla SPARKs are disgustingly expensive to make and yes, its insane that MEC autopsy does nothing for SPARKs.
This mod solves so many issues...
