M.E.M.E.B.O.T.S.

This mod started as a fun little way to add some extra fluff for my streamed campaigns, and after some interest from viewers has turned into a fully fledged standalone Reinforcement system.

It adds 11 different droids, the ‘M.E.M.E.B.O.T.S.’ that spawn in as reinforcements on the X-Com team under the Commander’s full control. Each time 1 of the 11 will be summoned at random via PsiGate. If you can keep it alive long enough to summon additional ‘M.E.M.E.B.O.T.S.’ you could possibly summon the first one again, though the odds are against that happening.

The ‘M.E.M.E.B.O.T.S.’ themselves are a nod to the 11 members of the management team of the MEME discord, each of whom are established modders. Consider this a celebration of their dedication to the community.

Each ‘M.E.M.E.B.O.T.’ also has the following perks:

• MEMEiaturized Munitions – grants them their Heavy Weapon slot, and +1 charge to those with charges.
• Deep Cover – auto-Hunker if you don’t attack this turn.

M.E.M.E.B.O.T. stats – 5HP, 5 Shield HP, 1 Armour, 14 Mobility, 20 Defence, 10 Dodge, 69 Aim.

There are 2 ways you can summon the ‘M.E.M.E.B.O.T.S.’ and 1 method they will appear on their own;

• Hack Reward – You will occasionally get "Activate M.E.M.E.B.O.T." as a Tier 2 hack reward. This will summon 1 ‘M.E.M.E.B.O.T.’ at random.
• GTS – Build M.E.M.E. Beacon – This grants the active perk "M.E.M.E.B.O.T. Activate" to every member of the squad. It summons 1 ‘M.E.M.E.B.O.T.’ at random. 9 Turn Global Cooldown, can’t use whilst concealed. The GTS purchase costs 100 Supplies & 1 Codex Brain.
• SitRep: M.E.M.E.B.O.T.S. – Sitrep that places a random M.E.M.E.B.O.T. under your control at the start of the mission, positioned slightly away from the squad.

• Modpocalypse Perk Pack
• Heavy Elemental Alchemical Throwers
• Spark Arsenal
• Chemthrower Addons
• Immolator & Chemthrower Abilities

UFOpedia & Bestiary – The M.E.M.E.B.O.T.S. will show up in Crew Screening on Loading the Save for the first time and on new Campaign start.
Soldier Info Redux – Allows the M.E.M.E.B.O.T.S.’ special ‘class’ icon to display in the HUD.

Should be fine to add mid-campaign.

The mod’s assets have been cooked.

The M.E.M.E.B.O.T. summoned will appear in the Cinematic for the next Reinforcement pod if it arrives via the dropship (no matter which side spawns them), though it will not spawn a second time, this is purely an issue with the Cinematic.

Occasionally you will get no Reinforcement spawn, this is due to the MaxUnit cap for units present in the mission being reached (this is ALL units no matter what side they are on), which prevents any reinforcements from spawning. By default this is 50, but some mods do alter it. It is wise to ensure you are not running close to this number before triggering a M.E.M.E.B.O.T. summon.

• The MEME discord Management, who’s dedication is the inspiration behind this mod. Especially RustyDios, who worked extensively on the Modpocalypse perk pack and HEAT/chemthrower addons mods which are requirements, and his UI work for this mod.
• Miztruti, who allowed us to use the ADVENT Droid assets as a base for the M.E.M.E.B.O.T.S. and for the Chemthrower Abilities.
• Iridar, for Spark Arsenal which this mod takes advantage of.
• RealityMachina, who’s spawn code from AMTR I adapted for the M.E.M.E.B.O.T.S. sitrep.
• Members of the MEME discord for their continued support.
