at 80% efficiency to that of a human, with
moderate health. The middle tier of all 4 tiers.

180 Plasteel
12 Adv Components
1 Ai Persona Core
40 Gold

Uncraftable (Event only)

Can install;
- All types of replacement parts / Plating

Speed :    ⍟●●●●
Upgrades: ⍟●●●●
Strength : ⍟●●●●
Health :    ⍟●●●●
Cost :       N/A
Summary: The tech used to make these androids is beyond human comprehension, boasting near
unlimited power and requiring little sustinence to operate. They deem all races other than themselves
to be somewhat below them and believe that living on a rimworld is a fate worse than death.


Special Trait: ; Intolerance. When this android's mood is too low for too long. There is an increasing chance of mental break and the android entering a murderous rage.
To add to that: this trait restricts the android's mental break types to only those that cause bodily harm. Such as bezerk and sadistic rage.

and tough but quite slow, with a major downside: due to the specialist equipment needed to refuel

strength to a mech than what it did have before.

+--------------------------------------+
Mastiff Shotgun

Damage:    ●●●○
Cooldown : ●●○○
Range :      ●○○○
Summary: A mech shotgun, designed to deliver a heavy punch. Dealing heavy bleeding damage, this gun is perfect

Hi Atla5,
finaly at the forum too, thanks.

- It don't made sense that the basic replace are below 100% eff..  When you can produce new androids with 100% parts, you should be able to produce 100% replacements too.
You can move the Basic replacement before the T1 androids research, to craft cheap replacements. Special for the T2 androids would like to have 100% replacements since they can't get adv. replacements.

- do you know Dub's hygiene mod ? He recently changed the need for his mod for non human races.
Since andoids use Bioreactor and not Matter to energy reactor, they need to leave the organic waste somewhere, and they have some sense for beauty or they wouldn't be able to craft art, so they want be clean too.
Could you take a look to enable these need's for them. Maybe ask Dubwise about it.

What do you think about to change the android internal energy production from a Bioreactor into a chemfuel generator ?
They need to eat chemfuel.
And the M.U.F.F. Unit become the Bioreactor and produce Chemfuel like Boomalope's. Ofcouse the scenario should add one of the M.U.F.F. to the starting instead of food.
But i think this would be hard to implement, since chemfuel don't got a nutri. value. It would require some good c# coding skill.

Ouh-May-God.
This mod is incredible like; srsly I can not belive that I see something that amazing.!
~+ many to respect!
[ I'm 'bout to test this soon, but it looks like some requirements in resources for assembling a Robot is not that expensive. Goona test it out; but that hard-end-game stuff should be more challenging 'cause of the high-benefits potential.

Welcome to the forum, I really enjoy your mod! :)

BetaSpectre

I kind of want a version that doesn't add weapons or is compatible with combat extended.

You still need to delete the "Weapons_Guns.xml" and you got no weapons.

there is a CE patch

Spaps

Unfortunately doesn't seem compatible with Prepare Carefully. Shame, as it looks like the best android mod available.

Canute

I don't got trouble with Prepare Carefully, worked fine at my side.


Spaps

#11
Now that's interesting. I thought it's Prepare Carefully, because when I launched Rimworld with AT and other mods, when I click Prepare Carefully it just throws up errors and doesn't go to the PC screen.

However, when I disable AT, it runs just fine.

I'll try and run the mod with PC and other mods one by one, to find any incompatibilities.

#################
EDIT: Nope, it's definitely AT. Launched the game with only two mods - PC and AT and it still doesn't let me do anything.

Canute

I wouldn't await much responce from the author/poster, i think he is only active on steam/discord.
But since he develop this mod at daily base, i just would download it again and try it again.

ATLA5

Well that's odd because prepare carefully and my mod work fine for me, did you remember to install humanoid alien races and load that before my mod?

Spaps

Alright, I'm a massive idiot, I'm sorry. I've downloaded the Alien Races Pregnancy addon instead of the main mod. Now it works. Apologies.

Now that I played with the mod for a bit, I have to say that it's absolutely outstanding, tried a few robot (android) mods before but this one is the best. And the best looking, too! I don't really like the humanlike appearance of other mods, this one fixes it by having very nice (tiered) system of different looking, actual, bots.

One thing though, did you think about bots, instead of eating, to charge their batteries, using a very inefficient charger at first, having to charge for like 10 hours a day? Maybe as a replacement for the biogenerator?
