work queen operating instructions

Have you ever had an emergency where you needed a lot of manpower but didn’t have enough?
We are here to help you out!
Need a building done fast? Pop out a few builder urchins!
Need to take care of an urgent harvest of crops? Pop out a few grower urchins!
Is your warehouse a mess? Pop out a few hauler urchins!
Got a mountain in the way? Pop out a few miner urchins!
Need to clean up the mess the insect hive made? Pop out a few cleaner urchins!
Got a raid to deal with? Pop out a few – wait, that question isn’t supposed to be here..

Added mechs


Added scenario

You awake in your cryptosleep sarcophagi to the sound of sirens and ripping metal.
You barely get to your shuttle, where your old companoid mech is already waiting for your commands, before the ship gets torn apart.
Your shuttle got damaged in the process and you are forced to crashland at the next best planet.

Since your starting character will lack some skills, this is a difficult scenario, where you’ll need to manage the scarce resources of your shuttle. While there is a work queen mechanoid inside your shuttle, you currently have no way to recharge its power core.

CE?

Thats up to them.

Can this be safly added to an ongoing save?

Yes.

Can this be safly removed from an ongoing save?

Yes, with the usual one-time errors for removing a content-adding mod.

Does this change the war queen mech?

No.

How can I recyle the depleted urchins?

Just like any other mechanoid. Check the crafting spot or the machining table for the shred mechanoid bill and change the details. They count as friendly corpses.

Why make this mod?

This was an open idea from the unoffical rimworld discord server from a user named Soph.
I liked it and picked it up, although not without adding my own spin to it.

Why is harmony required?

Biotech doesn’t allow mechs with limited power cell to do work. It is also used to tell rimworld that the work queen wants steel!

I’ve got feedback or ideas for this mod!

Just post it in the comments.

I’ve found a bug!

Just post it in the comments.


Me, myself and I.
Special thanks to GoGaTio for providing the code which lets the scenario shuttle actually fall from the sky.
Special thanks to the unofficial rimworld discords modding-channel, the people running it and its precious search function.
Without this awesome community this mod would not exist.
