Introduction
Welcome to my first ever mod, the mod is still under heavy development but I have enough to do a test run myself.
If you have any suggestions or feedback please let me know.
I wanted to play as the Borg in Rimworld, and because most Borg related mods are out of date or abandoned.
I made the stupid decision to create one myself.
How hard can it be, what could possibly go wrong -- FoxyNoTail

[*] Auto Assimilate Range (when Auto-Assimilate is enabled any Pawn within this range will be assimilated) - Default 30 meters.
[/list]
Borg
[list]
[*] Will never get experience for working but have other means to gain skills.
[*] They don't sleep, eat, or have any mood but require downtime "energy".
[*] They will ignore any "trait" or "Incapable of" they had in the past.
[*] They are Ageless and Sterile.
[*] Will search for anything that has power to recharge when dropping below 20%
(This does require a battery in the network, this is because cables don't keep track of power surplus)
[*] Will search for any kind of food when power drops below 10%
(This will ensure that bringing food to a raid is useful and your Drones won't start recharging when they arrive)
(Thank you @harhell for the idea)

Assimilated
Gives the Borg the ability to regenerate from wounds, disease or addiction at a rapid rate.
Inspired by "Invasion of the Borg by Nolabritt"
Queen - Xenotype
The central hub for your Borg hive.
She will always work slowly at 1% of normal workspeed.
She however has an incredible powerful abilty ([b]Neurosync Stats[/b]).
And she has a passive ability improving the Drones performance (default 50 meters).
Neurosync Stats
She can collect the stats from other Borg Drones and add them to her own stats.
After updating her own stats she will imprint these stats to the Drone,
and continue the seek out other Drones to sync with until all Drones have the same stats.
This ability is a togglable allow the Queen to search out Drones that have to be synced.
Example:
[list]
[*] [b]Drone 1[/b] has 12 Melee, 6 Plants, [b]Drone 2[/b] has 11 Range, 8 Plants.
[*] The Queen uses "Neurosync Stats" on Drone 1, the Queen and Drone 1 now have 12 Melee and 6 Plants.
[*] The Queen uses "Neurosync Stats" on Drone 2, the Queen and Drone 2 now has 12 Melee, 11 Range, and 8 Plants.
[*] The Queen will go back to Drone 1 to update it's stats.
[/list]
Drone - Xenotype
A simple worker that does what the Queen wants.
They have a single abilty [b]Assimilate[/b]
Assimilate (Drafted)
Will infect any Pawn with nanites causing them to slowly (6 hours default) turn into a drone.
The initial shock will knock them down (allowing you to capture them) before recovering from the shock.
Auto-Assimilate (Undrafted)
Will search for any Pawn within 30 meters (default) and grab them to assimilate them (1 hour default).
The Target and Drone won't move during the assimilating making them vulnerable to attacks from others.
