Hello Again Mipen and thanks for the response. However it is in that exact order. Ill try to attach two screenshots of the load order i have as well and some of the error codes I am getting. Another thing that might be helpful is that I can make the stuff and research things from MD2 however when making them my constructors will build it and it will disappear once built however will still have those spaces still open to having another spot built. Its like it gets deleted once the constructor completes building it And I cannot attach the picture because it is over 600kb. Lame.

Are you using superior crafting by any chance? I've had a lot of reports that sc breaks md2. I would suggest trying to load the game with no mods other than md2 and see if that works

If you read the changelog, every time he says "refactoring" it means he's gone and changed something it's easy for him, all he has to do is click a couple of buttons and it changes everything in the project, but for us we have to go through and find every little word that has been changed

So I've just finished writing my new BodyDef for my droids, but it isn't working at all like I would have thought. The biggest issue I have at the moment is that when the mod is active, any amount of damage causes any pawn to die instantly ( I have centipedes being one-shot by a pistol ) I have tested this with and without the mod active and it only happens when it is active. As it didn't happen before I added the BodyDef I am 100% sure that something that something from the BodyDef is causing this; either a Capacity, BodyPart, BodyPartGroup or the BodyDef itself although I don't see how these would influence anything. The second issue is that the droids are now incredibly fast, like three times the speed of a normal colonist. I haven't changed the movement speed stat, so it is still the same as normal humans. If anyone has experience with new BodyDefs, could you please lend me a hand?

EDIT: I've found the insta-death thing was caused by the new capacity defs I have added. My problem now is that it seems I can't add pawn capacities for my droids without having them also added to every other pawn Does anyone have any experience with this?

EDIT 2: So I've fixed the problems by completely removing my pawn capacity defs and using vanilla ones in their place. But this isn't ideal and I was looking forward to having robot related capacities for the droids. Does anyone know how to add them without them affecting other pawns?

Got this error when trying to place a droid in hospital bed

Thanks for letting me know, I have fixed it for the latest version

Hey Mipen. I am having issues with the mod. I have them downloaded and in my mods folder with the  Core first and the Mech Defense Core first and then other mods as fallows. When I turn on the game I recieve a bunch of XML errors for the mod. These are the only mods oi use and Im using alpha 10 of the game. Please help I am new to downloading mods this way. Steam has spoiled me.

Hi there, your mod order should look like this:

Core
MD2Base
...
<Other modules>
...

Are you using Edb Mod Order? If not, I would highly recommend it as it really makes using mods so much easier. Just remember that Core (the vanilla game part) must always be loaded first

Reviving this thread, so after that many months, where do I have to look for to restrict the game to only select 1 enemy faction? Specifically if the only selected faction is a custom one?

Edit: Please please let the answer be that it's only a matter of editing XML files. :')

Try take a look at the mechanoid or spacer factions, they are hidden factions but there must be something that makes only one of them

Have the core files changed at all? Also, I noticed that your folder is called NameBaaanks, is that intentional? if not, might be causing a problem. I've never really used string files so I can't really say much more than that

This looks like a great idea! Would definitely be interested in using this, the update download part sounds like a godsend! And instances would be useful for switching between development and actually playing the game

From the output log, it looks like the game isn't loading any of the assemblies from my mods. Are you using windows? I really don't know what could be causing this

Just asking, can this be run only with MD2Base-8 and MD2Droids-6 modules, because when I try it this way it I cant build droid assembly. It shows "? 150 (unchosen material)", plus i cannot unselect the building aka basically game is basically frozen.

I can run and build fine when I load SCA10Core ( Superior Crafting) between base and droids or use overhaul, but is there any way I could only use droids?

There is an incompatibility between Superior Crafting and MD2 at the moment which could be causing the problems

Bug report: My cooking droid and growing droid can build/repair. I don't think this should be in that way (and in xml files i don't see <construction> as allowed for this droids).

This is because of how the game determines what work a pawn can do from their backstories. There's no way to fix it at the moment, but the droids won't automatically do those jobs if they aren't supposed to.

I love your mod but ive started running into some hiccups.
My bots dont heal. They dont heal themselves or use med beds but what ive seen start happening is a few of my bots have started this endless loop where they want to use the bed but they arent allowed so they freeze in place kind of blinking trying to do it over and over but not performing any other tasks. Maybe you can let them use the med beds at least until you find a diff way to heal them?
Is it possible to make a warden bot or give the warden ability to the medic? Also do you recommend any weapon crafting mods that is compatible with yours?

Droids fully heal an injury every 12,000 ticks, which is around half a day. I really need to work on a way to repair them, but it will be a huge job and I'm slightly putting it off D: Is there any way to repeat this bug? I've never seen it happening in any of my tests.

Im surprised many have had the mod work out of most the mods Ive used till the update that I downloaded this mod wont work at all, everytime I try to build any building within this mod it would go under construction then when construction was complete the object would then just disappear and take the materials with it, how would I correct this?

When this happens, do you have any other mods activated? There is a compatibility issue with Superior Crafting that I haven't had time to look at yet, which could be causing the problem. On my test game I've never had a problem with buildings not being constructed.

After build Fissure Generator, save and load，Have error。

Thanks for the heads up, I've fixed the issue in the latest release

So they are useless by half of the time and they killing FPS.

True story, since alpha 10 ive had to cut back on the number of droids i use.

There is an FPS drop with a lot of droids? D:

Hey Nine wanted to ask to see if you're having issues with the crafting droid not making electronic chips at the powered smithing table automatically. I can get him to prioritize making them and then he makes them once and then goes back to being idle. not sure if this is an issue on my part or not, nothing else is being crafted he just wanders around idle after everything else hits quota

The droids not crafting is a droid mod issue, you will have to post the bug at the Original mod forum.

I will look into seeing what i can do on my end to fix it but no promises.

Potential bug

Edit: Same thing is happening at the tailor workbench with parkas

Thanks for letting me know, looks like a couple of things changed with the new Alpha. I've fixed the smithing in the new release but accidentally left out tailoring. I've let NineFingers know how to fix it and tailoring will be included in the next realease. Thanks

Thanks for continuing to improve this Mipen. Also thanks for adding my backstories. Keep it up !

No problem! They are really good

Are you using BackstoriesCore to add the backstories? If you are, in the <spawnCategories> tag in the BackstoryDef, the entries are strings. This means you can add your own tags.
I'm not sure what the difference between the FactionDef backstoryCategory and the PawnKindDef backstoryCategory is, but they are both strings. I would recommend trying the same tag in both of these, so make a faction with backstoryCategory = TestTag, and a pawnkinddef with backstoryCategory = TestTag. Then add <li>TestTag</li> to the spawnCategories for your backstory def. Test it in game and see if they get the backstory. I would recommend having two or more backstories with TestTag in the spawnCategories for both childhood and adulthood, as the game sometimes errors out if it can't find enough backstories. If it works and your new pawns get the backstories, then try changing the backstoryCategory inside the pawnkinddef to something new and adding some backstories with that new category tag. If that works, then you can make a bunch of pawnkinddefs using the same faction but with a different backstoryCategory. I don't think anyone else has tried this so it will likely be a lot of trial and error Good luck!

This is a lot more difficult to do, I did try to do it earlier but it didn't work so I gave up haha. I'll give it another when I have some time and see if I can get it going, I agree it would be a nice thing to have

Awesome!
I hope you find a way to make it work.

I have added PawnBios, which combine two backstories together to make a unique pawn. I wasn't able to find any way to tie in specific traits with those however

I would say give the original author a message saying that you've updated it and would like their permission to post it. If you don't get a reply after a few days then post it, with credit to the original author and a link to the original post, leave a note at the bottom saying if the author wants you to take it down then to message you. Also send them a message saying that since you didn't get a reply you posted it, but you are willing to take it down/hand it over to them if they wish. Also send a link to the new topic to them

Actually it is easy to remove existing backstories, I could add that functionality in if you wish.

I would also greatly appreciate this function.

A question of my own: Would it be possible to give backstories FIXED connected TraitDefs?
So you could make a "Serial Killer" Backstory that also always gave "Psycopath" and "Bloodlust" ... just as an example

Since its easy th write TraitDefs that could really open up some creative new ways in my opinion.

This is a lot more difficult to do, I did try to do it earlier but it didn't work so I gave up haha. I'll give it another when I have some time and see if I can get it going, I agree it would be a nice thing to have
