📋 About This Mod
Create civilian fleets to help manage traders and miners. Now extends from Mimic/Assist to function. Obsolete for game version v7. 00+ with caveats; please see description.
Civilian Fleets (Mimicry Extension) is a gameplay mod for X4: Foundations that enhances the vanilla Mimic feature, allowing civilian ships (traders/miners) to continue operating even if their fleet leader dies by using deep copies of orders. It requires SirNukes Mod Support API and is now obsolete since X4 v7.00 due to vanilla improvements.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 403 endorsements and over 16k downloads.
- Solves a real pain point: keeps your trade/mining fleets running even when commanders die.
- Actively maintained until X4 7.00 made it obsolete—shows the dev cared about the mod's lifecycle.
⚠️ Cons
- Obsolete since X4 v7.00—if you're on the latest version, you don't need this mod.
- Requires SirNukes Mod Support API, so you'll need to grab that dependency first.
- Compatibility risk with other mods that alter Mimic behavior or fleet AI.
For X4 players on pre-7.00 versions who want resilient civilian fleets without micromanaging after leader deaths. Skip if you're on 7.00+—vanilla Mimic already does this. Also skip if you're not into fleet management.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on X4 7.00 or later, don't install this—vanilla Mimic already covers it.
- Make sure you have the SirNukes Mod Support API installed before adding this mod, or it won't work.
- When setting up civilian fleets, assign subordinates with 'Mimic/Assist' to get the deep copy behavior.
