[i]Need a way to easily store mechanoids and animals when they aren't needed? Want to trade them over multiplayer mods to other players? This is the mod for you! I primarily had this mod made for all the cool gamer people using Phinix, but its not required to use this mod. Store your boomrats and militors for a rainy, or NOT rainy day! - Radiohead[/i]
What it does
Muffalo-In-A-Box (MIAB) was originally made to facilitate Phinix trades. Trading animals and pawns has long been a dream of that mod, but very valid security concerns make it next to impossible to safely do so; A malicious individual could easily send you a pawn loaded with bad code designed to corrupt your game or even your whole computer. Enter MIAB: A hacky, but simple workaround. You pack up the animal in question that you want to trade, and send the packed up box over Phinix. The receiving player receives that box, which they can then unpack, which spawns in a fresh, young adult animal. All 'custom' data is erased due to the safety limitations for Phinix trading; meaning you should not pack up your pawn's bonded favourite animals, or your dozens of specially trained battle wargs. Sorry.
This mod can easily be used without Phinix, too, for the privileged ultratech colony that doesn't want to shelter 500 animals in a barn during toxic fallout.
Items Included in the mod
Small/Medium/Large/Huge stasis cubes: For packing up your living animals- for trade or long-term storage. Doesn't work on humanoid pawns!
Small/Medium/Large/Huge mechanoid flatpacks: For packing up your mechanoids. No power required, just break them down like IKEA furniture.
Packing bench: This is where you make your stasis cubes and flatpacking kits.
Stasis shelf: This is where you store stasis cubes. Each stasis shelf can store 12 filled stasis cubes. Power the shelf, and the cubes can last indefinitely.
MIAB is a significant work in progress at this time, we appreciate your continued support and feedback!
