Tired of being lonely? Looking for someone to talk to? Want to make your bases feel more alive? Then this mod is for you! Introducing NPC dummies!

[hr][/hr] This mod contains over 20 blocks modelled as characters that you can interact with. All blocks have different functions (text panel, store and contracts), so you can use them to add more depth to your scenes.

The dummies have varying component requirements depending on what furniture the block has. They technically require power to operate, but most can actually be used and set up without any power at all, except for the contracts and store dummies.

Dummies with furniture support block skins, and all dummies are fully colourable.

NOTE: You'll need DLC to get access to all the Dummies! You can still use the mod even if you don't own any DLC, but some blocks will be locked!

How to Set Up:

Since the dummies are basically text panels in character form, the setup is exactly the same as with any LCD. Use Public title to give your character a name. Write your text in the textbox. To see your text, click on the highlighted dummy. You can potentially make them change their lines with time via scripting, but I never tested that.

As for contracts dummies, they have to be placed near conveyor hatches in order to make aquisition contracts to work. All contracts and store dummies are connectable to conveyors except for top and front sides.

Notes:

Check for change notes in... well, change notes.
