Savegame compatible, but make a backup before you load your game!
This mod adds ways you can defend and completly prevent infestations! It also enables you to use infestations to your advantage.

Psychic Wave Generator Tier 1
This building emits psychic waves that effects every insect in a radius of 10. If an insect enters the radius, it will get a sickness similiar to a toxic buildup. The insect will be knocked out rather quickly, but they won't die from it! But eventually they will die from starvation. Due to low frequency of the waves it can't pass through walls!
Psychic Wave Generator Tier 2
As you can read from the title, it is the same building but improved. It has a radius of 12, with higher power usage and of course it can go through walls.
Infestation Wave Creater
This device is used as a weapon. You can set a position, which has to be in line of sight of the pawn, where an infestation will begin. It creates psychic waves in an large area to lure the insects to the set position. The number of hives ranges from 3 to 5.
You can use the weapon two times before you have to recharge it. To recharge it it has to be on the ground where it can see the sky aka. the tile must be unroofed. The time until it is fully recharged is displayed if you click on it (it will take 24h to fully recharged).
Infestation Spawner
To understand what this building does here is a little story:
"One evening, your researcher detected a strange signal at the comps console. After some research it turned out to be satellite in orbit! Once you hacked into it, the satellite opened a telnet connection. After some hard work you found out it was a giant psychic wave generator and turned out to do the same thing you were researching all the time. Creating infestations..."
So this building acts as the sender to establish a connection to the mentioned satellite in orbit. From there you can launch an "Infestation Attack" to a faction or bandit camp. You can set the strength of the psychic wave in the terminal, but of course this service is not for free! The lowest strength costs 1000 Silver, Moderate 2000 Silver and the strongest 3000 Silver. (see screenshot)
Also you only have a short time-window to launch an attack. After 12h the satellite will be out of range for 2 days! But this can be bypassed with a research!
[b]TL;DR[/b]
You can send infestations to other factions (settlements, bandit camps) on the map but you have to pay a little fee.
Infestation Preventer
Like you can imagine from it's name, it completely prevents infestations! It needs 12000 W of power and due to the strong psychic waves it even impacts your colonists on the map! Every colonist will get a -10 mood debuff if the building is turned on. (Mood Debuff is changable in the mod settings! If zero, the thought will not be displayed.)
Dont forget to cool down the room if you place it inside!
