📋 About This Mod

Robco Certified Engineer v2. 1 Beta By Venture73 !!! IMPORTANT MESSAGE !!! Save games from V1. 0 and V2. 0 are NOT compatible with V2. 1 !!! I\'ll say that again. Save games that use V1. 0, or even the old buggy V2. 0 I used to have hosted here will NOT work with the new version 2. 1 Beta. In order to resurrect this mod, I had to rebuild it from scratch, so none of the old form_ids match up with the new ones in this mod. Your safest bet is to start a new character. Sorry! You have been warned. :) Also the load order has changed. For more details see the Usage section below. !!! END IMPORTANT MESSAGE !!! ----------- DESCRIPTION ----------- You\'ve gotten your RobCo Certififcations, and you\'ve gotten your hands dirty repairing countless robots. As your experience grew you started to notice deficiencies in the original design. Through trial and error you discovered several ways to enhance the capabilities of your bots. Armed with this knowledge and enough raw materials, you can improve just about any bot you come across. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW IN 2. 1 Beta - ROBOT MALFUNCTIONS - ROBOT HEALTH REGEN - REPAIR ROBOTS WITH SCRAPMETAL - AND MORE! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robot Malfunctions ! Keeping piles of junk together isn\'t easy. Due to the rigors of battle, your robots now have a small chance of malfunctioning. This critical failure will require you to scrounge up the parts required to fix the problem. There are nine different malfunctions that can afflict your robots, each requiring different components to repair. Robot Health Regen ! To balance things out, robots no longer reset their health after every combat. Instead the patented Robco Auto-Repair system kicks in. Drawing in basic elements and heave metals from the soil and the robots surroundings, the nano-based AUto-Repair system uses these basic elements to repair simple armor and chasis damage. (How else do you think all of these robots would still be operational for so long?) Robots regenerate at a rate of about 1 health / second. If your robot is exceptionally damaged, you can use a piece of scrap metal to patch your robot up instantly. When you click to interact with your robot, the percentage of health is displayed in the message box for your convenience. You will only see the patch up option if your robot is below 85% health. XP Balance ! Another balance issue addressed in this patch concerns XP rewards. Previously you gained full XP for kills by your robots. Now that XP scales depending on how many robots are currently fighting with you. The scale is as follows: 1 robot - 80% XP. 2 robots - 65% XP. 3 robots - 50% XP. 4 robots - 35% XP. 5 robots - 20% XP. New Robot Upgrade ! Added a new robot upgrade: Alabtive Armor Coating - distributes energy attacks
