SkyMind Network is a full mod originally designed and created by ARandomKiwi and others for Android Tiers++, a sub mod for Android Tiers. It implements a wireless communication system for pawns for the transfer of consciousness of pawns and the use of servers to give connected pawns skills, to protect against attacks, and to hack other factions for colony gains.
SkyMind Network Mod Features
- A system for the wireless and non-physical transfer of consciousness between connected pawns.
- A system for pawns remotely controlling other so-called surrogate pawns with all relations and skills shared between host and surrogate.
- Network towers for establishing and maintaining connections between pawns.
- 3 Servers that can be configured for Skill, Security, or Hacking insight.
- Skill insight can be used to give connected pawns xp or passions in a chosen field based on their learning speed.
- Security insight is automatically used to defend against enemy hacking attempts (which trigger like raids do) to prevent damage to the system or colony.
- Hacking insight can be used to target other factions to do various things like redirect drop pod shipments, do propaganda campaigns for relations benefits, or launch DDOS attacks to weaken hostile connected pawns on your map.
- Implants can be researched for pawns to connect to the network, and modders can easily give any Hediff the ability to connect (or block connection) to the network via a simple mod extension (looking at the xml for the SkyMind Transceiver/Receiver should help here).
Compatibility notes
It is now fully standalone with compatibility for several mods like Rimatomics, Rimefeller, and of course Mechanical Humanlikes. It only has Harmony as a dependency.
