VRE Android Tweak - Easier Research Prerequisite

Description
I figured some colonies might want androids but aren't really aiming for the Mechanitor thing. Or maybe you don't want to be gated behind beating a boss.

This mod changes the research need for the VRE Android's tech. It now requires the Multi-analyzer research instead of High Mechtech. This means you don't need a Mechanitor and don't need to defeat the WarQueen.

@Billan im not 100% but normally things like this is just an XML patch, so i think it would work fine in 1.6

Hello! I think this mod seems to be exactly what I'm looking for and I haven't found an alternative. Is there a chance that this will be updated for 1.6? Love your work.

Yeah, this works fine with 1.5. It's just a XML patch changing the research pre requisite.

It'll just have a warning saying it's incompatible, but it's a simple fix:

- Open C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100\2977556284\About\About.xml in a text editor, such as notepad. If you are using something other than Windows, or installed in a different path, just look for the workshop\content\294100\2977556284 folder.
- Find the line "<li>1.4</li>". Should be the 5th line.
- Under it add "<li>1.5</li>" or just replace the 1.4 text with 1.5. Either approach is fine.
- Save and the incompatible warning is gone.

When/if the mod gets updated this change will be overwritten, but it most likely won't matter.

Has anyone tested to see if this actually works for 1.5 without the update? It seems like one of those that proooobably should...

Will you update it to 1.5? :)

Will there be a 1.5 update for this patch?

This is beautiful, thanks. I resorted to just cheating in the boss drop item but this works far better.

I've been looking for this mod for months. Thanks for making it.

the exact mod i was looking for. i had an android fall in a space shuttle but they've been in my colony for two quadrums because i couldn't research the items to replace it's neutroamine.

Thanks for this. I also think the VE team went maybe a wee bit too far in that requirement. At the very least this gives me the option to see the actual content of the mod before I get to the endgame.
