Decoys... Probably

Description
This mod is intended mostly as a bit of fun and was inspired by the streams from Splitsie and Capac over on their YouTube channels (links below) where Capac is frequently used as/referred to as a decoy for drawing fire.

The mod includes six Capac themed poses which function as decoy blocks.
It also includes a single Splitsie themed facepalm decoy block, because I couldn't not include him.

The blocks have custom destruction sound clips which Splitsie was kind enough to provide me with which will make it easier to tell if your Capac has been destroyed.

Survival Ready:
PCU Values
Construction Stages
LODs
Progression System
Large Grid Only

Note:
I can't find a good way of getting the suit textures to always be the intended orange/grey colours so I'm afraid you'll have to colour them yourselves (seriously, I tried colouring the textures in Photoshop but they looked hideous/never matched the true colours in game).
Splitsie did provide me with the colours they use in their streams so you can match them up easily with the new HEX option for block colours.

Capac Orange: HEX #FF4000
Splitsie Grey: HEX #454545


If you're not already addicted to Splitsie and Capac's videos, then I'd highly recommend going and giving them a watch. They've provided me with hundreds of hours worth of entertainment.

Credits:
Capac for his likeness which I know he takes pride in.
Splitsie for providing the audio clips and for giving me the idea by consistently referring to Capac as the orange decoy, he also suggested the name for the mod because I couldn't think what to call it. Essentially, this is all Splitsie's fault.
Keen for all model assets used in the mod.

I thought this went without saying, but apparently some people feel entitled to upload other people's work without permission.
DO NOT upload my work on Steam or Mod.io without first seeking AND receiving my permission.

If these are still large grid only a suggestion for the small grid decoys would be use the plushie.

So there could be mini Capac.

I'm seeing one of these placed in Wrong Way Down, and just had to pause the video to go look it up. :)

@DianonForce thanks for letting me know, I've updated them for the new Decoy definitions. Seems to be working now.

Would love to see decoy implementation for AE NPC Dummies mod, the range of poses is amazing but sadly they do not draw any fire :(

NEED a small block version... So I can fire Capac's at my enemys haha...

These would make for excellent lightning rods.

Do these need to be powered? Drones don't seem to be shooting at them.

Every game I play starts with Capac standing guard duty. He is often posted on top of a stack-able wind turbine.
I seldom ask mod makers for updates. However ... this mod is great. One update would make it GREAT!, SHINY even. My request, every time I shoot Capac, a trademark Ow! sounds.
