Robots!

Is it possibility to f.e. craft friendly robost, like theres that attacks colony?

[millenium]

currently there is mai which is probably the best model for a robotic colonist and there was a mod back in alpha 3 that allowed you to craft centipedes as colonists hasnt been updated in while. would really like to see it updated so seconded.

My mod mechanical defense 2 let's you build robots for your colony, and I'm working on adding the option to rebuild centipedes and scythers that will be under your control

I think an interesting alternative to having your own centipedes/scythers would be to instead add them to a friendly faction after reprogramming or rebuilding them, so they wander around semi-randomly instead of being under direct control.
They'd still be useful, but not as OP as a relentless player controlled turret that needs neither rest nor food and can take dozens of shots before going down.
