Post by Badman_bacon777 »

If I have the Shen's Last Gift mission unselected how do I get my first SPARK?

The Mechanized Warfare PG product should unlock after the ADVENT Robotics tech.

Drone Wrecks seem to be the main gate here. Some kind of integrated Extract Corpses type functionality would be a godsend given the shift in warfare priorities the mod introduces.

FWIW it's already (mostly) compatible- I've already taken a Viper and MEC wreck as 'prizes' from the battlefield. It doesn't support the drone archetype though and I'm not sure how to add it in exactly since I can't see the base archetype for it in the files anywhere.

I would only note the economy is balanced around limited corpse access.

Which is fair enough. I've not been using the extraction item, so a soldier still has to get over to the target, pick them up, and then get to extraction. Stealing the corpses is generally a careful decision rather than just a case of taking everything that isn't nailed down.

From another thread: "Just install this mod, go to the config file for the mod and add in '+CarryableCharacterGroups="AdventDrone', and boom!"
