@meatboy - Yes and no, every 'creature' needs to have a configuration (which cannot be changed) in this case both android and cybernetic are treated as 'robots'. robots (like skeletons) dont gain muscle etc. as they gain str/ dex.

@falloutdudebro -- change what? and i dont think you/ anyone can.

@!!darkchopp?? -- it should, i havn't seen any updates over the last couple of years

seems strength and dexterity have no visible effect on the cybernetic human. im assuming this was intentional?

so how can i change it?

does this still work sounds dope

in a word i'm unfortunately going to keep the 'is robot' as true, just due to the trade-off of mechanical difference (repair kit vs bandage) vs the cosmetic difference (is shredded when strong- which would look sick af imo)

I have a number of issues with the 'is_robot' object, but i cannot change it, as it is fairly hard-coded into the modding tool and would require someone with more experience to fix. hopefully in kenshi 2 it will instead be a series of choices, instead a bunch being 'bundled' together in one option.

Hope that helps, Cheers

so some quick testing (havn't played kenshi beyond bug fixing since well before covid)

basically "is_robot" applies a template which does some things.

1. nulls the hunger function entirely
2. makes you auto ping as a robot to those that care about that (holy nation, robot beds, etc.)
3. only half tested but IIRC this causes the choice of bandages or repair kits to be you healing item. (the skill will remain the same, but the item wont. ex. use bandage, but also the repair skill to heal.
4. the old description on the mod tool says causes: "CHAR Attributes do not level up, instead upgrades" but that isn't true so idk what else it does.
5. probs a bunch of other shit im not aware of.

@TheUbermanlet Hello! I was just connecting, let me tell you, I have an idea what it could be because of the science attribute, the character I was testing it with had that stat quite high (+50), I haven't had time to test a character without said attribute, but I would say that it could be!

Thank you for your nice attention and speed, I hope I don't cause too much inconvenience with this

@TheAshby: I had no idea that would do that, i will look into it, and have a response in hopefully a few hours. Cheers, glad you enjoy the mod :)

@The Ubermanlet I love this mod, it has become my favorite when it comes to playing, but I have a drawback and that is that even though my cybernetic or android characters have more attributes, they will never show up with muscle textures, I realized that deactivating the setting "is robot" to false, this is solved, but I don't know what the repercussions of setting that race option to false are, if you are so kind as to answer me or help me, I would really appreciate it!

@Rypool

I still have steam and i get the notifications, so i'll DM the guy and see what his work around was.
Cheers, and thank for giving the tip

I was getting really frustrated when playing with this thing because it kept going unconscious randomly while traveling. After it fell over a few times I noticed it had the starving debuff so it had been passing out from exhaustion. I was confused as hell because it's a skeleton and didn't have a hunger bar. I gave it some ration packs and it and it immediately ate them and stopped passing out. It doesn't display the hunger on the hunger bar, but it still has to eat or it'll die. If you're still interested in updating the mod you might wanna check out however the hell this guy did it if you wanted to make the Cybernetic Human require food.

"does not need to eat (still no fix for this bug, as you can set hunger and be a robot but the game just blocks hunger)"

I don't know if you still care to work on this mod at all, I just noticed something interesting when I was messing around with some custom races from other mods in my recent playthrough. I found a skeleton race that doesn't have a hunger bar, but it needs to eat or it will get the starving debuff and eventually die from starvation. The dark hive queen from this mod.

Combat: More Combat Animation, Great Animations Mod.
Other: Immersive non-combat animation, Animation Overhaul, Killing Time, Lively Bars.

Is there a combat animation patch/ mod or something? i dont really keep up with kenshi updates/community.

please advise, and i'll attempt to act accordingly

combat animation patches?

if possible could you test if this update does the same thing as your patch? i dont specifically know which animations it changes

After your last answer, I was facing a dilemma: abandon my MA Android due to animation issues or learn to create patches so I could add animation files into the mod? I took the second road, learned to patch and did it myself. I can only there’s no conflict between your update and my patch.

But anyway, much appreciated! Androids and Cyborgs are my favorite races in the game. Can’t play with anything else! Happy 2022 for you as well and many thanks!!!

I don't even know if people play this game/ use this mod anymore, but i added the animation files from the animation overhaul into the mod. if this breaks the mod in any way i'll revert it, but from what i can tell about the original mod it shouldn't, it should only add animations.

I for the record, did not make the animation mod and have no affiliation with them, i though this is done without their explicit permission,, the animation mod has a sister-mod for the JRPG-races, so i think the implication is this is meant for all possible races/ characters etc.

anyway cheers. and happy 2022

I should've made myself a bit more clear. Yes, it's animation related. AOM stands for Animation Overhaul Mod, which changes the animation (REEAAALLLY?? lol) involving crafting stations. Thing is it breaks the crafting animation for non-vanilla races. I was just asking because I love this mod, but the crafting animation is completely broken, since they'll just stand still while working. But, anyway, thanks a lot for the answer! Wish you all the best!

oh i see, no, i dont update this, and i dont know enough about mod compatability/animation stuff

AOM? is that animation related? it should be the same everything as the greenlander, just some of the values change?

Is there any known AOM patch to work with this mod? Standing still while crafting isn't very exciting.

I also vote that there should be one that can blend in with the humans despite being a robot since it's got skin and all that!

Thanks!

There are no companions, i have only made the player a possible android, will update description. i do not update this mod/ it should work for all versions. So i don't plan on making any improvements.

What city is this race in?

I wish you could add hunger as well but what can you do *shrug*

The game's code makes anyone with the Skeleton trait (oil instead of blood and etc) an enemy of the HN, and the modding support for the game is kind of weak in terms of rewriting how the game works. Besides, from a lore perspective, the Holy Nation devotes their entire lives and have been doing so for generations to slaying Skeletons, assuming these cybernetic guys have been around in the world for some time the HN would assuredly know how to recognize one of them apart from a human by now.

So the holy nation still hates these guys? Seems kind of strange since you can't really tell the difference appearance wise. Is it possible to have a version that can blend in with them?

I'd appreciate it. I don't think you'd need my patch to check into it but grab it too if you want. Thanks either way!

im redownloadinfg the game, i cant off the top of my head recall, how to do that, but i can look into it

LOL Damn if that aint a mood
If you happen to know how I might be able to add the hairstyles from the JRPG mod to your models do enlighten me, I couldn't seem to find any sort of copy/paste or new asset feature in the race's menu while I was playing around with it. As it is I'm even missing some of the faces, because I couldn't find a way to add a new one (JRPG has like 7?) so I only picked 4 to replace the ones that were in there already.

That is wonderful! Please continue. This is a welcome change as i too suffer from the terminal brain illness known as anime.

Hey, I made a patch for your mod to let the females use the JRPG faces! Hope that's okay with you, link here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2111237817
