Build Robots 2x Faster

Description
Build Robots 2x Faster
by MrTastix
Game version: 3.*


Description

In short, this mod doubles the default build time for both robots and machines.

Originally, this mod was created prior to the growth changes in 3.0 where robot and machine assembly speed was ridiculously slow compared to organic empires.

Nowadays this is just a straight speed increase to pop growth for when you just want to speed through the game. It should apply for both the player and the AI but this hasn't been tested.

How It Works

Pops have a growth/assemby progress bar that must reach 100 before a new pop is generated. Before bonuses to assembly growth, robots earn 2 points per month towards this goal, whilst machine empires earn 4 points.

This mod simply reduces the required amount of points needed to assemble a pop by a factor of 2.

If this isn't fast enough for you, consider using Build Robots 4x Faster, the sister mod to this one.

Yeah, the only good thing about it is the ability to change the mod order but christ man, I had to recreate the mods just to change one letter.

Luckily these mods are relatively simple. So long as they don't change any pop variables you can expect the mods to work fine in future patch without any trouble.

I agree with your comment about the launcher. It took me over a goddamn hour to figure out how the hell to update my 3 mods to the latest version and another hour to figure out why the mod I was trying to upload wouldn't.

Also thanks for updating this.

The mods work fine for the latest patch. I'll update them in a few minutes here just to stop the launcher bothering us about it.

Can you please check and update this mod to the current game version so the launcher doesn't have a heart attack? Thank you.

It should work as-is, I haven't had any problems thus far.

Will this mod update to 2.3.1?

I wholeheartedly endorse Implodee's mod.

My stance is that I'm against making multiple spin-offs myself largely because too many options can confuse people onto what's the best one, and because it's honestly not too difficult to customize this to your tastes (I modify a single line in a single file).

It would be nice if the Steam Workshop had a way to download a single mod package that then let you choose what version you wanted. This could technically be done in-game, similar to the Build Menu mod, but may conflict with such mods which I'm also against (I want maximum compatibility for something so simple).

@ChemistryGuy I've done that and uploaded it. Personally think this is too fast too. :D

I actually figured out that robot empires get 1 assembly job per 40 pops, so in the mid game they are even with organics. which makes them replicate incredibly fast with your mods :D
I got the idea of implementing 1 or 2 growth modifiers from the start of the game that last just long enough to reach that pop amount. What do you think?

cant build any robots, consumes minerals and then cancels it shorty after
