Description
About:
Adds a new craftable mechanoid that can extend its owner's command range.
  • Observer
Required research: Standard mechtech
Material cost: 50x Steel, 1x Standard subcore
Bandwidth cost: 2
Weapon: None
Special ability: Relocate
  • Deploy smoke cover at a location, then jump there.
  • Range: 13 cells.
  • 16 hour cooldown.
  • 3 charges.
Features:
  • Observer itself ignores the command range.
  • Observer command range: 13 cells.
  • Observer displays its command range whenever it is drafted.
  • Mechanoids belonging to the same mechanitor can target things within observer's command range.
  • Observer's command range works even if it and its mechanitor are on different maps.
  • Observers on temporary maps still require human escort, but mechanoids on permanent maps can operated without human presence.
  • Observers spend more energy compared to other mechanoids.
Q&A:
  • Q: Is this mod safe to add mid-save?
    A: Most likely, yes. All features of the mod should work normally.
  • Q: CE compatible?
    A: CE's built-in autopatcher fully patches this mod.
  • Q: PLA Steel Torrent compatible?
    A: The current version should be compatible with PLA and add-ons.
Credits:
  • Harmony library - Brrainz
Changelog:
  • v1.0.1: Altered the mod's code to make it compatible with PLA Steel Torrent and other mods that do weird stuff with mechanoids.
  • v1.0: Release.

so far I haven't had any issues so could probably just put "1.5" in the about file and should be fine

Could you make the command range a variable in the XML comp added to the mech? Would be nice to be able add it to other mechs with a different radius (for example, making my own higher-tech version locally).

@K, you can decompile and copy the code.

What a mode! Can I apply your assembly code to my mode if possible?

this mod seems like its incomaptible with Hyacinth's Mechanoid Addon (https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2881799865) , since that mod also has a mechanoid called Observer. it seems like whichever one is lower in the load order is the one the game uses, so you can only really have one in your game at a time. probably not a big deal, but i figured i'd point it out anyway

here's an interesting idea:

make a more advanced (makes more wastepacks, has higher bandwith) version that is controlled by 1 mechanator, but can connect to multiple mechanators, extending all of their command ranges to include it! (So you could have a mechanator that only controls observers, and then other mechanators just use them)

It could either default to connecting to any allied mechanators, or have to connect manually. You could even limit it to, say, 3 mechanators can use it to expand their command range. If so, maybe the "owner" can't, and has to manually connect as one of those 3! Each of those 3 could increase power consumption!

also, I think it should have a short-range turret, as well as a low-shield that lets firing occur!
