Can't wait for the 1.6 for this. It's become one of my go-to critical mods.

It would be great to force the quest, I could just start my 1.6 run while I wait lol

Can the researcher quest start again if it's expired or is it a dev tools job?

@Nox: Not for now, I need to make sure all the mods are updated first.

please i need this in 1.6 i cant live without sleeving and i only just found out about all this cool other stuff please i need the arm blades in my naked brutality min-max run

Helixian my hero. I have a request -

Would you be willing to add compat for needlecast receivers to the androids and synths in rim-robots? I guess there's asimov and the vanilla expanded androids as well.

I'm feeling moddy so maybe a bridge mod is in order. What's your feeling about having needlecast receivers for androids and robots? I really like the idea. I know the TV series had synths but I'm more interested in the gameplay than lore.

This is the best mod ever. A) The Altered carbon books were amazing, and as far as I'm concerned there was no TV show given how badly it was butchered. Huge fan of the books and RPing as if you're playing in some distant future of the books is cool. B) This mod addressed all major issues I had with the game, namely shield belts not having one that you could fire out of and arm blades that let you have a melee and ranged weapon equipped. I still think guns should have the option for bayonets, or a colonist could carry a small melee weapon like a knife as a backup. Also giving a power helmet targeting assist could not have been more cool and was an issue I had with the base game as well. Absolutely cannot wait for the 1.6 update, I'll be delaying starting a new game until this mod specifically supports 1.6 no matter how long it takes. Thanks to anyone involved with the creation of this mod, you really improved the game!

@oscarmdsh69 no, he just wrote that he will never update any of his mods :D Just 4 comments below.

1.6 update coming?

can't wait to send 20 raiders i nstacks to the nearest mechhive via gravship

Looking forward to it!

Woohooooo!

@Helixien Thanks dude, cant wait!

Update for 1.6 is already in testing. So soon!

@Helixien I would also love to see / to know what @KurotoraX mentioned below :o!

This is one of my favourite mods! Can't wait for it to be updated

Can't wait for this to update :D It's so fun

Why are all stacks afraid of emp? Is this reasonable？

I love this mod, just a question though how do I get an archotech stack?

Hey folks!
Whats the consensus so far? Working ok with 1.6? Total no-go? Chance of bugs but working mostly?
Literally my favorite non-official content and cant wait to have it in my load order again!

hey, any chance to controll the chance of a pawn spawning with a stack? im finding a lot of barbarians with them and getting my shelves full

@Malicius Same

AlteredCarbon.NeuralData+PawnRelationWorker_Child_InRelation_Patch:Postfix

from time to time this gets called thousands of times per tick effectively reducing TPS to almost zero, any ideas why, and how to fix it?

hello @Helixien! This is my favorite mod on the entire workshop. Love the show, love the mod.
I have identified a bug. Whenever a colonist with an installed stack comes back to life, whether via resurrector mech serum or via devmode, they get the "I am a duplicate!" and "Lost my lover" mood debuffs, which are both related to each other in that they are both about being a clone who lost their old life.

@Helixien, about 1.6, u mentioned cut content in the 1.5 release, any plans for that cut content to be included in the 1.6 update (be it partially or fully)?

I'm not fully up to date with info about this mod, so idk if u might have mentioned it somewhere already.

For some reason, I keep having a trait I've neural editted off someone reappearing after loading a save, any idea how to fix it?

Thank you so much for this awesome mod! I was wondering if you could look into adding compatibility to 1-2-3 Personalities M1. Currently, the personalities tied to a person are regenerated on stack removal and stack installation. Looking through that mod page's comments, it seems there was compatibility in the past (Rimworld 1.3), and the dev for M1 says nothing was changed fundamentally since that version. Hopefully that information is helpful if you wish to pursue this. Thanks again for your amazing mod!

@Helixien

You know - that totally makes sense! The mod is already awesome as it is and I won't pretend I understand even a little on how to make one, so that's all good and fitting with how an animal brain would work. I *do* wish that Pawns would understand that, but it's something I'll just have to work around with the Character Editor mod. Either way, thanks for the reply and keep up the good work!

@cloudust: Sadly there is no way atm. Its kinda a balancing thing and if you think about it, it would make sense the animal doesn't understand what happened. I know, not perfect for your run.

Hello @Helixien!

I'm not sure if you've been asked this already - but is there an option or a way to keep a "Sleeve" alive when you remove their stack? In most of my playthroughs it wouldn't be an issue, except this time I'm going into a very heavy animal-focused game. Every time I move a Stack into a different "Sleeve," the Pawn is counted as dead and and I have like 20 bonded animals going into Madness mode because of it.

Love your mod!

Sure, awaiting patiently for the oficial release, just hope it comes with needlecasting range options too for wider player customization. Good work.

There will be no 1.6 update before the official release. Like always, "1.6 when" comments will be deleted and blocked.

Needlecasting should have more range, even with all 6 sats I can barelly move on the world map.

Mod options are suddenly gone.
Even the extended XML ones.

@JothB Build a neural scanner and then select "start scanner", after that select "Skilltrainer" and choose what pawn to kill in order to produce skilltrainers.

I love the mod and consider it canon for myself. One thing I am not sure about is shells instead of sleeves. How do I make them?

tell us what became of Gary

I'm not completely sure how to craft skilltrainers. I have them researched, but they dont seem to appear anywhere as a recipe

Is there a way to refire the Researtcher quest?

Has anyone managed to completely implant the filled stack in VRE Android, rather than just broadcasting a signal to it? The best I could achieve was using tools to put a receiver in the android.

Thank you very much for this amazing mod @Helixien, this is one of my favourite mods of all time. I want to share a bug that I've encountered and I hope you can help me with that. It looks like archotech stacks cannot be edited as when you create the bill to edit one, right clicking on the neural editor table gives you the following text: "Cannot modify stack: Missing 1x Neural stack". The option to edit them is on in the mod options and the pawn is capable of editing a normal stack and the stack is available in a valid and accesible storage. Also, for some reason, the 'Tough' trait is missing from the trait options and cannot be added even with Character Editor mod. Pawns with tough trait spawns naturally but you cannot add it to your own pawns. I did this testing with only Harmony, Vanilla Expanded Framework and your mod so I am sure that there are no mod conflicts. I would appreciate if you can take a look at it when you have the time. Thanks in advance :)

Unfortunately I get a very high constant ms from "AlteredCarbon.Pawn_NeedsTracker_NeedsTrackerTick_Patch:Prefix"

Anyone knows a fix?

@dmitri burger Update: I can confirm that the VRE Androids integration works just fine. Either the people saying its broken fell for one of the Classic Modding Blunders like not using RimPy or one of the other mods they have is breaking it.

Interestingly, implanting an android with a human stack did not Awaken it. I had to go into Dev Mode and delete the Hardware that disables psychology for the random human man I murdered and reincarnated as a robot girl to be able to be upset about this. The Android builder in-world would not let me enable psychology. Maybe the editor you can access before starting a colony could?

Then again, Dev mode and Character Editor can fix most issues, and whether this is even a problem to begin with is up to you.

You may also be wondering if humans in android bodies keep their skills, if their skills are affected by software, and if they correctly undo if they turn human again.The answer to all of those questions is yes! I hope this helped.

@dmitri burger If I understand correctly if you have VRE Androids installed this mod has an interaction that lets you build android bodies as "shells" as an inorganic alternative to sleeves. However, there seems to be talk of this feature being broken in the Discussions page. I intend to test it myself and see if it works now. Will post results in here.

Is there a way to add a feature such as cybernetic sleeves? It was in the series(this damaged girl had one in the end). I assume they can change their appearance, have extra durability and to be fair they are potentially somewhat of a premium endgame stuff. If there are any other place, where I can add this suggestion, pls let me know. I think it would be a really cool dlc for this mod:)

Let it be known MIXED STONES is incompatible
if you can't build the sleeve casket without crashing
Delete MIXED STONES

Any known incompatible mods that could crash the game when finishing to construct or even trying to spawn in the sleeve casket?

is there a way for force-spawn the starting quest for this? i think something in my modlist did something that would make the quest not spawn, and the opportunity for it to spawn passed before i noticed and fixed it

@Kirky An Electromagnetic Shield implant, not sure which Implant mod adds those though. At least not off the top of my head.

@Sammich build a casting relay.
@2B You don't have to do anything. Has it been 75 days yet? I think it just becomes enabled after 75 days and will randomly happen.
