Steel Union Nathans Additions
Adds a bunch of stuff to the Steel Union mod from Ore and Harvesters, to Factory Walkers, fully AI working Drop Ships, Demolisher tanks and more. Go play the base mod by itself before touching this abomination!
Requires the original mod to be enabled (go and rate and favourite it as well, this mod wouldn’t exist without it!).
When choosing to play. Nathans tweaks are versions to use. Host version creates Builders (Comrades) that can make a capturable Mine. These are enemy buildings that will create a small basic base and form attack waves the longer it lives to attack all players. If destroyed, it joins you but just makes money.
Economy:
Base and Refineries can make Harvesters. Deep Mines (built on resource pools) make Ore patches around them. Harvesters gather this for "Carried ore", drop it off at Refineries/Bases. Then they convert the Carried Ore into credits. Refineries can build "Extra Refineries". These grab ore from nearby refineries to help convert it faster.
Summary:
Factory Walkers:
Spawns free units over time. They have timed life and will attack all in sight. Can upgrade to make bigger waves (it goes through 3 unit combinations)
All tanks: have some form of upgrade. Demolishers (big tanks) have the most.
AA: Equalizers and Rocket tanks are your best AA.
Dropships: In default mode can do anything. In other modes (inf, vehicle…) it will automatically gather units and attack enemies. Return home. And repeat.
Trenches. Units will get in and leave automatically. They get a 80 range boost inside.
Harvesters: Gather up to 100 ore. Then go into a refinery where it is deposited and slowly converted into credits. You can build Extra Refineries as these can take ore from refineries to help convert it.
Units deal different damage to different unit types. Repeaters are better vs infantry and heavy infantry than vehicles. Tags used for this:
inf, heavyinf, vehicle, lightvehicle, building, demon (i use a tweaked warhammer mod).
Not tested vs vanilla but hopefully not too strong (or weak I suppose though I am assuming it will be on the harder side).
