I do not demand anything, I just asked this account

I haven't really planned an update since I'm not playing mugh Stellaris lately. Sorry.

at least there would be some sort of guide for translating files for owners of Synthetic Dawn

Again I had problems with archetypes. Since I want it to be used by everyone and not Synthetic Dawn users only, I had no real choice if I want to keep it simple.

is it possible to do so that instead of signs of organic races they had the signs of a machine?

No dlc required.

so is dlc needed?

Thanks :)

@SpeisCheese Btw, I love the reworked ships mod xD its great

Thanks btw for the feedback, appreciate that. But I think I'll make a pause with Stellaris. even with my Reworked Ships mod, AI stomps me in 1 vs 1, I guess I'm not good at strategy games anymore, and it gets frustrating over time.

@SpeisCheese I see, well, I wish I knew how to make the changes that you made- even as simple as they are, I adore this game (as you can tell by the absurd ammount of hours I have on it) and I wish I could make fun and simple mods like this, it'd be a joy, but alas I cannot. I'm not technologically smart xD but whenever you feel you have the knowledge to do something like that, that'd be awesome

I still have a lot to learn with how Stellaris modding functions. Don't forget I am not specialized in any programming language. I have done some Arma, Gmod, and now even Stellaris mods. I'm not a programmer, and studying something completely different. I wish I could change the gameplay even further, like how you said. But I have not the skills nor knowledge necessary to do such things, yet.

@SpeisCheese I agree with Krylia, its your mod. However what if you created a mod that in a way removed the restriction on biological species not being able to use the machine conciousness goverment type, then these robots (and my fox people) would be able to play like Driven Assimilators, BuT still grew and such like normal organic pops, esentially turning all other species into their personal drones and such. Just an Idea

I know man, hence why I said it. It is YOUR call on what to do to with your mod. I don't choose that shit for you.

I had to create new species because how the game works. If you want for example that every organic species uses these machines, i would have to configure them to be synthetic workers, and I have no idea how, and that was never my plan. I could also add these portraits as Xenotypes for humaans, mammals, reptilians, etc. But it would be weird, but actually not that bad of an idea.

Shame you can't add portraits without adding species.

I really like that 4th machine.

Well thanks for answering

Ah, I see

I guess. My species will act as if they were biological beings. They consume food, they breed like organic beings, they "think" like organic beings (I mean how the AI reacts), etc

So what I belive your saying is that the machine portaits added in this mod cant use the machine conciousness goverment type?

I dont really understand >_>

It was more for technical difficulties that I chose them to be all biological, due to the fact that I there is some bug with the machines archetype.

And my mod title is very misleading. As you said, can you consider Human-Androids to be synthetic? On one part, they are, but only half. But it is the only title that was short enough, and not completely misleading.

@SpeisCheese Now I have a question, I've legit been searching through every possible synthetic mod because personally, I dont care for the way Synth's look. I personally prefer biological robots similar to something like Data from Star Trek, where he appears human but is actually a Synthetic, so does this mod allow biological pops to be considered Synthetic? Because I want to do some Driven Assimilator space fox shenanigans xD

Thanks!

Looks good!

hi there, I think I can made animated portraits of these (at least some of them).
If you are interested, add me as friend :)

btw, great portraits!

Well, yeah, they would be playable, only not as a machine empire.

Alternatively, just copy the vanilla Machine class (instead of Robot), change its name and portraits to yours, add my fix as a required mod (here, on the right side), and you're good to go.

Also, unless you're changing the traits, you don't need to have a copy of them with your classes. The archetypes were added exactly for that.

Here's my machine mod, if you want to check later how it should be set up. There are still some issues, but I'm working them out:

So Archetype=Biological would solve the issue then, as a temporary fix? Also btw, thanks for repirting that bug, I'm pretty new to this

@SpeisCheese you added the ROBOT archetype, but that's only for building robots. You need MACHINE to play as a machine empire. Otherwise you get an error when picking traits.
There is, unfortunately, an issue with machine pops not growing when using custom portraits, so I've made a fix for it: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1156522593

Nice portraits

In what sense, can't you use any portraits, does the game not create random empires in your rounds, can't pick traits to complete your custom empire? Thabks for the feedback

machine empires dont function unfortunately
