Q: Is it compatible with other mech mods?
A: Yexiaoyang’s human-machine hybrid patch is made to be very robust, and has already been tested with well-known mech mods.
It should generally not cause bugs.
If any issues occur, please report them.

Q: Is it compatible with CE?
A: No dedicated CE compatibility testing has been done. It usually won’t cause bugs, but there may be balance issues, such as added armor being less noticeable in CE environments.

Q: How is the performance?
A: A lot of effort has been put into optimization. Yexiaoyang’s work logic basically follows vanilla colonist AI, so it should not cause noticeable performance issues.
The only slight performance cost comes from [Promotion Task II], because the enemy count is relatively high and the mechanics are somewhat unique, but it has also been specially optimized.
And Promotion Task II is a one-time quest only and will not trigger during normal play.
