Xenonauts: Drone Warfare.
Woo, first mod!
Note: Requires Xenonauts: Community Edition (the update, not the Workshop mod, just click continue to download this after you’ve done the X:CE update thingy).
…also, before you ask, no, this mod does not allow Xenonaut forces to use Drones of their own.
Sorry to disappointment you, random hypothetical internet person/people.
What this mod DOES do, though, is add drone-exclusive variants for ALMOST every alien ship with its own ground battle.
(The mod info file lies, lmao, I decided not to add drone ship variants for Light Scout or Scout.)
Want to fight a Carrier full of drones? Sure, you can do that.
Want to storm a base almost exclusively controlled by automated drone units…I haven’t added that one yet, sorry.
Do note that there are more drones in the drone-exclusive ships when compared to those of the other alien races, so a larger squad size is at least SOMEWHAT recommended.
…also, there’s a little SURPRISE that you might encounter during a Drone Battleship Terror Mission, though I’ll just leave you to find that one on your own…
(Secondary note: This mod is presumably incompatible with any mods that add drones to the X:CE race.xml file or add their own drone variants of any UFOs save for the Light Scout or Scout…which, given the current state of Xenonauts 1 modding on the Steam Workshop…may or may not actually exist.)
(Note: Also incompatible with my planned Alien Tactical Variety mod, please use one or the other, not both.)
(Please provide feedback in the comment section below! Including if this mod just blatantly DOESN’T WORK, lmao!)
