Enhanced Mini UFO

Description
This mod currently allows you to craft a spawner (by hand in admin mod) that spawns an enchanced version of the vanilla mini ufo mount.

The ufo added by this mod is enhanced in two ways, stronger s u c c and a cool laser attack shown in the preview image. The rest of the functionality of the ufo should be the same as the vanilla one.

The spawner can spawn an infinite amount of ufos but can not despawn them so simply destroy unwanted ufo by force.

The spawner plus the added ufo are multiplayer friendly, that is, you can use them in any multiplayer server without requiring others to install the mod as long as the "allow asset mismatch" option is ticked.

known issue/bugs:

when driving the ufo, whatever is equipped in the driver's cosmetic head slot will be temporarily unequipped until they get off the vehicle. This has to do with me trying to make it multiplayer compatiable by replacing the base vehicle id with "modularmech" so that the vehicle can use local scripts. I do not have a solution to this issue yet but please let me know if you have one.

Finally, please don't go nagging me about balancing and what not, as they are simply not my concern, thou, I did try to make the laser beam's damage relatively balanced by reducing its damage. Also, feel free to leave in comments what you think would be cool to be added to the ufo and I will try to add them when I have the time assuming that I find them feasible + interesting.

Update 18/9/2019:

New functionality!

The ufo is now able to work similarly to a relocator. Its primary ability (the s u c c) will now automatically absorb relocatable monsters in range. The first monster absorbed will automatically be stored in the ufo, subsequent ones will be given to the player as BioChips which can be placed back into the ufo when its monster storage is empty.

To remove/add BioChips, simply double press space bar when riding the ufo, a small item slot will apear at the centre of the screen.

To spawn the stored monster, double press F (special1 key), the monster should spawn below the ufo with a newly added cool spawning animation.

Please let me know if there is any bugs/glitches!

Glitch: If you capture an animal, and have the menu open, and you spawn the creature with the menu open, you can duplicate it.

If you have the back weapons mods for Quickbar it'll conflict with the UFO.

Is anyone else not able to relocate, if so what mods do you have installed?
