I'm currently adjusting MD2Droids mod to work with newest RimWorld version (A12d). Here's a bit more info: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=7380.msg184916#msg184916
It will take time (as I don't have much of it), but I'll bring it back to life eventually.

That would be certainly appreciated!
But what do you mean by "bring it back"?
Did mipen say he intends to abandon it?  ???

No, he didn't. :)
I tried messaging mipen, but he didn't answer (I wrote him a message 6 days ago, mipen was active 3 days ago on forums). Also, his repository on GitHub was inactive for 3 months, so I assumed that there's no point in waiting anymore for his actions and I started my own fork based on his work. If he will update his own mod, then I'll probably drop my fork, but as for now that didn't happen.
And by "bring it back" I meant bringing it back to RimWorld, not from the dead. :D

There are MD2's droids, still out of date,
Halpo's MAI, which is more like a colonist in a different form, with a lot of extras,
and More Mechanoids.

Unfortunately, none of the three is compatible with the popular mod called Combat Realism,
neither they offer droids only.

Haplo's hauler and cleaner droids would have been sufficient, but again, it comes with a whole lot of other (to me undesirable) things also.

Would anyone consider making a mod that adds but a few craftable single-purpose droids, and those only?

I know many of you are missing MD2Droids mod and I think that it might be nice addition to our colonies (never used it before). Because mipen didn't respond to private messages and his repository was inactive for few months, I decided to port droids to newest RimWorld version and will release it as soon as bugs will be fixed (I'll start new topic for this in released mods subforum).
I suppose that I might break something along the way, because I have no idea what are the differences between current RimWorld API and the last one for which Droids were created, but I'll do my best. :)
Before this post, I've managed to:
- successfully load MD2Droids mod, obviously. ;)
- create blueprints at drafting table (you can design Droids, load and save them)
There are still few bugs (missing icons) and exceptions that are being thrown while using this mod which make Droids unusable, so I'll better get to work. :)
