ULTRARIM: Blood Is Fuel

Rejoice, fans of ULTRAKILL and Biotech alike. Your prayers have been answered, and with the release of ULTRARIM: Blood Is Fuel, you can now gestate and power mechs using blood (Hemogen Packs). No wastepacks are produced in the charging or production of these hemo-mechs.

This mod is designed with full, automatic compatibility in mind. Pretty much any mech from any other mod can be made to be fueled by blood, even if they're not produced using gestators.

Blood fueled mechs are distinguished by the "Hemogen Powered" hediff, which grants an increase to consciousness, moving, and psychic sensitivity. Blood Fueled mechs can only charge at the new "Hemo-Charger" buildings, variants of the base game chargers which use hemogen packs as fuel. Mechs will consume 2 hemogen packs per bandwidth when recharging, and will recharge at a vastly increased rate depending on their bandwidth. Mechs with 1 bandwidth will recharge 10x faster than normal, while mechs with 5 bandwidth will recharge 2x faster.

In order to gestate blood fueled mechs, you must use the new hemo-gestators. Blood fueled mechs require an amount of hemogen equivalent to 2x their bandwidth to be loaded into the gestator in order for gestation to proceed.

Standard mechs can be converted to blood fueled mechs and vice versa via the "Reformat Mech" ability now granted to all Mechanitors Reformatting a mech will shut it down for half a day and drain its energy, but will otherwise freely allow you to swap what kind of mechs you're using.

This code requires a lot of patches, and is exceedly complex by my standards, so it may have some bugs. Feel free to report them on the ULTRARIM discord server. You can also join if you just want to provide suggestions or stay up to date on ULTRARIM's development.

I highly recommend installing the companion mod, ULTRARIM: Blood Fueled Machinery, which adds some infrastructure to help you better support your new blood fueled mechanoids.
