[B-18] Minion Robots

[Thom Blair III]

I'm making a minion robot that can perform a variety of tasks. So far, it can do several menial tasks:
- Hauling
- Cleaning
- Flicking
- Doctoring (tending to patients)
- Crafting (low level things like crafting spot bills)
- Construction (low level things)

However, I'm very interested in figuring out how to give them more abilities such as:
- PlantCutting
- Sowing
- Firefighting
- Smithing
- Tailoring
- Cooking

I'm using Base Robots as the basis for it, but I really don't understand how skills are assigned and how thinktrees work.

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could explain how I could:
- enable any of the abilities I've listed above
- assign a skill level for the abilities
If you do explain, unfortunately I need more info than just "firefighting requires a thinktree" (even though that much info is a great leap forward in my understanding of it all). Specifics of what I would need to add to Base Robots or to my mod itself would be very welcome!

I did make the graphics myself. That part I enjoyed a lot, since I love graphics. I'd love modding even more if I understood it better. I wish I could just read everything there is to read about Rimworld modding, but I don't have the energy/skill to read everything (unfortunately I have a health problem which prevents me from reading very much, so if you can point me to a specific section of a tutorial or guide, that helps narrow down the amount of reading required.)

Here are the files. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Note: Anyone is free to take and modify, improve (especially improve!), or edit this mod for their own use and redistribute it as you wish, just don't say that I was responsible for any changes you make. You don't even have to credit me at all, I'm just making this for fun.

Maybe you should look for a different name, since Minion's are allready a nice mod.

Omg! I never saw that one. Thank you!

I've now updated it to "Minion Robots" and changed the code to make the names unique to avoid compatibility conflict.

Try out the minion mod i linked above.
They are animals with enhanced workgiver so they can clean,mine and plant cut too.
They breed and grow up pretty fast, eat not muc, and can be a good army if they are many.
But unlike at the movie's they can't use weapons and are not a big threat alone.
