Key Features and Enhancements

This mod introduces a variety of significant improvements to WX-78’s operational capabilities. Here are some highlights:

• Roto-Mapper Drone: Now features an audible cue, announcing its arrival at its destination.
• Sonic-Invoker Circuit: With specific upgrades, this circuit can now temporarily pacify nearby hostile creatures and significantly reduces its cooldown, making its sonic waves a safer and more readily available tool.
• Redigestion Circuit: Introduces a new fuel item that replaces NutriBricks and, with upgrades, can drastically reduce the negative effects of consumed food.
• Blocking Circuit: Provides a robust defensive option with increased health, full resistance to planar damage, and significant damage reduction, safeguarding both armor and health. Further upgrades offer immunity to knockbacks.
• Hardy Circuits: When upgraded, these circuits offer flat damage reduction, excelling against weaker foes and preserving armor durability.
• Processing Circuits: At higher sanity levels and with specific upgrades, WX-78 can craft items and structures at double the normal speed.
• Beambooster Circuit: Features increased shield regeneration and the ability for shields to recover even during combat when the player is at full health.
• Chorusbox Circuit: Offers a boosted base sanity gain, and with upgrades, can turn a variety of creatures neutral towards WX-78.
• Optoelectronic Circuit: Allows WX-78 to move and see unimpeded through hazardous weather conditions like sandstorms and miasma when upgraded.
• Range Booster Circuit: Unlocks a map reveal effect that scales with the number of active circuits.
• Thermal Circuit: Attacks now build up heat, granting bonus damage when overheated. Thermic tools also passively gain heat over time.
• Refrigerant Circuit: Attacked enemies are slowed and can eventually be frozen, with the circuit producing ice over time.
• Spatializer Circuit: Enhances storage with increased spoilage effects for certain items, while also slowing spoilage when combined with the Refrigerant Circuit.
• Right to Modify Skill: Speeds up circuit plugging and unplugging, and allows for the recovery of biodata to repair circuits.
• Illumination Circuit: Offers an improved light radius and color for better visibility.

This mod also includes adjustments to the crafting recipes of several key circuits, ensuring a balanced integration into your Don’t Starve Together world. While some components of this mod are still under development, the current additions offer a substantial upgrade to WX-78’s potential.
