Tribal Steelspeaker (Requires Biotech) mod preview for RimWorld

As a child, you feared the blood machines.

As a child, you feared the blood machines. Impervious to arrows and immune to spears, they were sent by the Gods to punish those who had sinned. You feared the blood machines until you were sold for a generous amount of silver, and brought to a humming, whirring shrine, filled with clanking gears. They put you in an orange jumpsuit, and put you to sleep.
You awoke, and found yourself with an awful, metal child. You could hear it think, for it thought as you did. They told you to shoot a target, as the child. They were pleased when you did. But you felt a strong, burning pull through the wall...
...And for that, they didn't have the time to express displeasure.

Note: Since your starting character will lack some skills, this is a difficult scenario. You'll be unable to revive or charge your mechanoids for a long time. Additionally, the concrete-melting hellsphere cannon of a Diabolus isn't well suited to home defense...

Your faction will be a New Tribe.
Start with 1 mechanitor.
Player starting characters have a 100% chance to start naked.

Start with:
-Mechanoid: Militor
-Mechanoid: Diabolus
-Foxfur T-shirt
-Foxfur pants

Note: I couldn't figure out how to force the shirt or pants, so you've just gotta put them on. If you know how I can force wear them, be a dear and let me know. I also am unable to remove the "Recluse" trait, as well as the autopistol you start with. Just be a good little fella and have your Diabolus explode the pistol with it's cannon, wouldya?

Also, for the obligatory "is it op???!??" questions, I tried to make it somewhat balanced. It's basically naked brutality, but you get clothes and a superweapon.
The Militor's just there for flavor and will probably die and be unable to be revived by your third raid.

As a tribal you lack any electronics-based research, and will be wholly unable to recharge the big Diabolus (barring the obvious exception of shutdown recharge) for a LONG time. Also, as a lone tribal without any research, you're probably going to be building with wood. Having a deathbot armed with a concrete-melting cannon is all fine and dandy until it burns down your entire base to kill a manhunting squirrel.
