Description:
What is this mod?

Ultimate Mech Manager expands upon modular mechs, giving the user an assortment of new features which can be controlled through a user interface which is accessed through a craftable mech control PDA item, the quickbar, and oSB keybinds. This mod supports many popular mech-related mods, with the user interface adapting depending on which mods the user has installed. It is the rewritten successor to Autonomous Modular Mech Companion.

  • 10 loadout profiles for your mech, complete with cosmetic slots and per-profile fuel tracking for Mech Overhaul and Frackin’ Universe users.
  • The ability to deploy your mech anywhere in the game via a drop pod.
  • Option to allow the mech to follow and fight alongside the player without the need for a crew member.
  • A mining mode option to highlight nearby ores based on the range of the player’s equipped matter manipulator. Mining mode also grants the mech a toggled matter manipulator which has 50% more power, range, and radius than the player’s equipped matter manipulator to account for the mech’s larger size.
  • Options to make the mech a hostile entity, allowing you to fight your own mech or pit it against other players and their mechs in multiplayer.
  • A mech army feature which allows you to deploy multiple mechs from different profiles. You can even make these mechs fight each other through the hostile mech options.
  • A built in music player which uses the mech as the audio source. You can import your own playlist through a standalone mod. Instructions can be found here: AMMC Music Guide
  • An admin-only menu which allows you to control which features players may use on the server.
  • Separate health and energy pools for vanilla mechs. I felt this was a basic feature which vanilla mechs were lacking, so it was added in order to maintain consistency for the HUD options between vanilla, mech overhaul, and Frackin’ Universe.
  • Built-in planetary flight for vanilla mechs. Press double up key to activate it, just like for Frackin’ Universe mechs.

Compatible Mods

Incompatibilities

Autonomous Modular Mech Companion is not compatible. Do not use it together with Ultimate Mech Manager.

Ultimate Mech Manager also requires Openstarbound. If you try to use it through normal Starbound, your user interface won’t be able to adapt and you’ll see vanilla stuff when you have Frackin’ Universe installed, for instance.

This is a rewrite of Autonomous Modular Mech Companion, and it uses hooks to avoid incompatibilities with other mods. If another mod somehow conflicts, just let me know in the comments.

What this mod doesn’t do

Ultimate Mech Manager does not add new mech parts to the game. It’s focused on loadout profiles, HUD options, and giving the player new ways to enjoy their mechs. There’s other mods out there which add mech parts to the game, and they’re all compatible with Ultimate Mech Manager. (XS weapons, Titanbound, etc.)

Note for dedicated server owners

This mod is still a work in progress. There are stil bugs to fix and features to implement in the future. When this mod is updated with changes to the scripts, it will likely break all mechs on your server and prevent players from using them whatsoever until you update the server’s copy of the mod.
