If you're like me, then you'll have wanted to make a mechanoid army when this game came out.

If you're like me, then you'll have wanted to make a mechanoid army when this game came out. However, the game's max bandwidth count has felt a bit low for making a giant army. Sure, you could get more mechanitors, but if you wanna do a solo run? you're SOL.

This mod adds a few mechanitor implants that boosts max bandwidth by 5 every level, up to a max of 12 implants for +60 bandwidth, or if you're lucky, 20 implants for a max of +100! This was, I felt, large enough of a boost to satisfy most player's needs.

The basic implant is quite expensive and is unlocked in the Ultra Mechtech research, so you better get to killing those mech bosses! The higher tier version is even more expensive, and requires its own research. The final tier of implants cannot be crafted and must be obtained via quests.

Should be safe to add to a save. As always, assume unsafe to remove.

Requires the Biotech DLC to use, though I'm sure you knew that already.
