NPC Mechs

In 1 collection by lophatkao
LoPhatKao's Vehicle Mods
13 items
Description
Ever wished your crew could hop in their own mech and help cause mayhem...

on planets?

in space?

Now you can!
Just have crew ready to beam down with you, and press the "Deploy Mech" button

non-Steam? https://community.playstarbound.com/resources/npc-mechs.5786/

- Compatible With -
Mech Mods: Frackin Universe, Mech Overhaul, XS Mechs Modular, Vanilla
Crew Mods: crew size mods will work - all others untested

-- Potential Issues --
Using a teleporter and beaming to the same world with an NPC Mech active *might* crash to ship/title - npc uses a unique ID, trying to spawn another with same ID is bad
Custom species NPCs may not have Crew Uniform data, and be 'naked'

-- Credits --

LoPhatKao - Lua Wizardry
Sayter - FU Support
FDAVILOKA - Mech Overhaul Support
Enderzilla - XS mega fan :)

Is there a way for them to leave their mechs once they enter one? Like if I bring them into a ship ambush to fight some pirates can I have them leave their mech once we get into the enemy's ship?

Which mod did you have a problem with?

Update: I finally encountered NPC mechs that were functional. It's possible that the original issue was a clash with another mod.
It's still true however that this mod is kinda a one-way trip. Download with extreme caution.

... So, no NPC mech I encountered was even functional (they were all stuck, and even if I got them un-stuck they'd just sit there), and trying to remove the mod resulted in NPC's insta-dying. @fae ❄ is right. I'm now it a rough spot where I must have this mod installed for the duration of my current run, even though it's actively harming it.

THIS MOD IS A TRAP. DO NOT SUBSCRIBE. It has the potential to effectively ruin your save.

Well unfortunately when you uninstall this mod you'll lose all your crew members, they instantly die whenever you go anywhere and the only way to fix it is to re-install the mod and dismiss all crew members.

Very cool idea, at least until you run into a mech that one-shots you and you cant pick up your items because its still there after you respawn and beam down. Desperately needs balancing.

Cool but i think It needs to be balanced.

Favoriting this; will def consider subscribing when crew can dismount with you.

Agreed, just tried the NPCs being in the mech for the first time and I had wished there was a way to ask them to hop off their mechs, especially in small areas.
