Mechineki

Description
Warning(s)
In the spirit of the original Neki mod, this mod has some elements that could be considered NSFW. To amend this, direct your gaze to MechinekiSFW or MechinekiSFW AltEars
This mod requires the original Neki mod to function. Without it, it will not only not work, but crash your game!


Intro
The Mechineki are an adorable line of androids produced by a weapons manufacturing company of dubious repute, marketed to the public as "domestic household companion-bots".
Despite the company's reputation, the bots were a hit, selling out not too long after their official release. Unfortunately, an oversight in their programming lead to them becoming a bit more than their owners bargained for, as they swiftly adopted many of the more chaotic, pesky traits of their organic counterparts, the Neki.

The company refused to issue any recalls or refunds, seemingly disappearing from the public eye overnight. As a result, unwanted Mechinekis were trashed and thrown out, but due to their exceedingly hardy nature, few were ever truly destroyed. The dejected machines now roam the world, inhabiting a similar pest-like niche to the Neki themselves.


Features
- A new playable race, the Mechineki!
- Pretty much everything the original Neki mod has, barring scan dialogue, which will eventually be added in the future. This mod will be updated alongside the Neki to make sure things such as crafting stay consistent.

Addons
Be sure to only use one appearance changer at a time! They won't work right if you have multiple installed.
- MechinekiSFW
- Mechineki AltEars
- Mechineki AltEars SFW

Legacy Addons
These are for use for those who would like to "un-break" the colors of their pre 1.5 characters.
- MechinekiSFW (LEGACY)
- Mechineki AltEars (LEGACY)
- MechinekiSFW AltEars (LEGACY)

To-Do
Codexes, Scan Dialogue, and more/improved body colors are the first priorities, but things such as dungeons and encounters will hopefully come into play in the future.

This is one of those mods that started as a joke and kinda spiraled out of control. Hopefully it continues to spiral into something good! Big thanks to Juni for giving me the permission to share!

Note
Development on this mod by the original author (ѕaιnт apollyon) has been suspended.
I will do my best to maintain it, fix bugs and update with stuff from my own mod, Neki, but for now there is no unique new Mechineki content planned by the original author.
If you wish to report a bug/issue, you can also do it on the Neki Discord[discord.gg]

Thanks.

Again, strictly an FU issue. In vanilla you don't respawn at all in Hardcore :)
So the animation for that simply doesn't exist.
I'll PR the fix straight into FU and you should see it fixed on the next FU update.

Theres a respawn animation for survival but im guessing there just wasn't added one for hardcore.
Juni  [author] 8 Nov @ 8:01am 
This is a FU-specific issue, I'm guessing that whoever added Mechineki support to FU didn't bother adding a respawn animation for them.

I'll do it myself as soon as I have the time.

Whenever you die in hardcore with this mod it breaks the game. Something to do with the respawn cinematic.

Ah! thank you Juni!
Juni  [author] 5 Nov @ 6:04am 
I'm actually considering doing the opposite - making more of the neki-specific stuff usable only by the Neki, for... sanity reasons ^-^

Having said that, you should check out NFOF , it does exactly what you need :)

Hey Juni, if you ever have the chance and are willing to do it, would you be willing to update it to make the race compatable with normal neki furnature? i wish to use the wall bed and such and it calls me insane if i do! :fhappy:
Juni  [author] 2 Nov @ 3:34pm 
I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about that - somebody else entirely made those. If anybody wishes to alter them in any way, feel free to PR them into FU directly.

Racial bonuses for FU are almost all wrong compared to description
