Creating a Fork of the Android Tiers Mod

[BasileusMaximos]

I've literally have never modded anything before, but I want to try my hand by creating a fork of the Android Tiers mod to bring it more into line with how I think it should be. Basically I want to

- Remove all needs except a need for power drawn from power conduits and the need for social and recreation for tier 4/5 androids.
- Edit base stats of the tiers to make each tier fundamentally different
- Make each android tiers either built or spawned by the world have the same skills, passions, and backrounds
- Edit crafting so that only tier 4 androids need AI Cores
- Create "software packages" made at the android parts table increase the skills of androids.
- Make androids without AI cores unable to learn new skills.

I'm pretty sure all these things are possible seeing as the other Androids mod have most of these features implemented with their Droids. Of course, I wouldn't release the fork without Atlas' permission.

EDIT: I forgot to say that I have no idea how to do any of this so any guidance would be appreciated.

Nice plans!
any chance the androids could still use food for fuel?
for times where the power is out?

No. You need to ensure you always have a supply of power for your androids.

Not sure how to manage the rest of it, but I suspect you might be able to get some ideas for the first point by looking at the charging stations from What The Hack. Those sound like they do something similar to what you're looking for.

Before he is collection too many idea's he need to collect more wisdom about how to alter mods.
Many of his idea's arn't easy task's and can't be done just with edit some values at the XML code.
He need to dig deeper into the assemblies.
