FAQ
This is a mod I worked on when Archotech items were first added into the game. I made this mod for myself mainly, which is why it's so unbalanced. I consider this mod to be mostly finished, and because of that I've decided to stop working on it. I'll keep updating it to new versions, unless they completely rewrite how XML mods work, but anyone who wishes to take over the development of this mod can ask me for permission to do so.

IS THIS COMPATIBLE WITH (RBSE/EPOE/ANY OTHER MOD)
Yes, but place this mod above them. The 3 main compatibility problems come from EPOE, RBSE, and Misc core, so move Archotech above those.

Also if you are still getting null class errors
These are usually because the mod is loaded before other mods that affect prosthetics. Move this mod above them.

About
This mod expands on both the technology of the Archotechs, an advanced "race" of machine superintelligences.

If you want JUST the prosthetics from the mod, go here:
Archotech Expanded Prosthetics

What does this add specifically?
Adds these new implants into the game:
  • Archotech Ears
  • Archotech Stomach
  • Archotech Liver
  • Archotech Kidneys
  • Archotech Lungs
  • Archotech Heart
  • Advanced Archotech Legs
  • Advanced Archotech Arms
  • Archotech Death Claw
  • Archotech Obliterator
  • Archotech Brain Melder
  • Archotech Spine
  • Archotech Pelvis
Also adds these three new materials into the game
  • Nanomachines
  • Picomachines
  • Attomachines

What do the bodyparts do?
  • The Advanced Archotech Legs are a highly advanced version of the already highly advanced archotech legs. They are 4 times more expensive than regular ones, but also give a much higher mobility boost compared to the normal archotech legs.

  • The Advanced Archotech Arms do the same thing as the advanced legs do, but for arms.

  • The Archotech Obliterator is an alternative to the death claw, where it deals fast consecutive blunt hits rather than 1 high powered claw attack. This is especially useful for capturing prisoners.

  • The Archotech Death Claw is a high powered Power claw, basically. For the Archotech. It's much more expensive than any other Archotech item as it serves as an archotech arm and a power claw simultaneosly.

  • The Archotech Brain Melder is a better pain stopper and joy giver. It increases conciousness, removes pain, gives joy and heals scars on the brain. It's incredibly useful for any situation.

What do the materials do?
  • Nanomachines: The nanomachines are the lowest tier of all the new materials, but are considerably stronger than the strongest material currently in the game. It will be used in future recipes along with the other two materials. It can currently be used as both a fabric and a material, being able to be used as clothing as well as walls or flooring. Even longswords or clubs can be made out of this material, and recieve a boost to their melee stats as such.

  • Picomachines: Picomachines are smaller than nanomachines, and thus in the lore of this game are better than nanomachines. They also can be used for all sorts of recipes, like flooring, walls, weapons or clothing. Picomachines will be used for intermediate archotech products.

  • Attomachines: These are the smallest material, and are the most expensive. It also can be used for everything. It will be used for all advanced products and most extremely late game items, when I add them.

To reiterate, this mod is not being worked on actively. I'm updating it for the sake of the people who still use this mod, but I won't be doing more than that most likely.

Is this mod safe to use?

The mods are repacked as is, without any additional software, malware, or bloatware added. To check for viruses, use a reliable antivirus or upload the archive to a website like virustotal.com. Anyway, It's always a good practice to keep backups of your saves in case of mod incompatibility .

There is a folder in the .zip archive. To install the mod, move the entire folder (not just its contents) into 'Mods' folder located under your RimWorld root isntallation folder.
So, for steam version of the game, the path would look like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods
For any other distribution, firstly locate your rimworld installation path and then unpack the archive into the 'Mods' folder.
