please update this. I don't want to buy a dlc made with AI to play as the Adeptus Mechanicus.

do you plan to update this? because per my understanding of cybernetic creed it only focuses on cybernetic ascension not synthetic, thanks!

does it still works after the machine age updates?

I played with this mod enabled as empire of other origin and it prevented me from upgrading my Robot Assembly Plant

So this is broken, it seems. Robot pops simply do not get built and no such pops appear in the empire species panel.

The devs are getting very jelly

The Cybernetic Creed looks rather similar to this. They even added the custom factions. I'll have to see whether to update or retire the mod once the DLC is out.

Oh yeah, I've been using this mod as a reference point in discussion for the upcoming DLC. It's grown up so fast... lol

love the fact that this is essentially the next dlc

I assume it might be either an incompatibility with another mod or because of the new version but the robot assembly of Machine Temples is broken. It shows that there is monthly robot assembly but there is no progress bar and no way to select what species is being assembled, haven't noticed any actual new robots popping up either.

Does this still work with 3.9?

Was it intentional that the races don't have the same environmental compatibility as robots. And lack the Mechanical trait?

Im unsure if im missing something obvious but it seems as though the forge temple isn't producing any robots. Does it have anything to do with the fact that im a death cult? Or that im using a mod that adds more traits?

ERROR! REQUIRES MORE TOASTERS!

I see. That would be a problem. Should be an easy fix though. I'll look into it.

Loving the mod and I really do wish it was actually a core feature but I have noticed that when I take the reanimators civic I don’t get access to the dread encampment even if I have the relevant techs unlocked, so I was wondering if this is a problem with the mod or intentional?

hey man great mod, but i notice some something, i think with the death temple, since forge temple already give you mortal initiate, i think you should disable death temple, great mod btw thanks a lot!

No, they don't. They're just sacrificed. I was thinking about a way to implement that idea. Maybe via a policy option for the sacrifice boon. But just turning them into machines in addition to normal sacrifice effects would be way too powerful.

Will the mortal initiates pop turn into machines after the sacrafice? I could not exist that in the game.

Thank you for update!

It should work with the current version. I'm at the moment working on a major update for the upcoming version 3.6.

Will this be updated?

yep he sure does, but by the time you've got 6 ascension perks, a 14k fleet power dragon just doesn't quite cut it :P

love your work by the way mate

The dragon should also reach out once you have a total of 6 ascension perks. I'll look into compatibility, but for the moment that would be an obtainable solution.

any chance you could make this compatible with the Here be Dragons origin?

The Dragon is supposed to reach out to the player faction once they've ascended, but if I ascend via this path, the Dragon pretends I don't exist, making the origin (and the 4 hours I spent working on this build) a giant waste of time.

Also since I'm here, I noticed a small bug yesterday: I was playing as a spiritualist empire with the Death Cult civic but without the Machine Cult origin, and when I researched the "Metacognitive Faith" tech it unlocked the High Altar of Technology for me (Mechano-Death Priests and all), which I don't think is supposed to happen. I think that tech might only be checking for Death Cult and not Machine Cult.

Yeah, the main issue with being unable to remove beneficial traits is that by the time you're dealing with advanced cybernetics, your species will all have gone through The Flesh is Weak and will have the cybernetic trait, but their base template still won't. Since you can't apply a template without the cybernetic trait to pops with the cybernetic trait, you can no longer use the base template as a way to reset your species and remove beneficial traits. Unless you purposefully keep a small sub-population of 'baseline' pops who have the cybernetic trait but otherwise have their gene points free, in order to use them to generate new cybernetic templates, you can't ever remove a trait once you've added it to your species.

That's a good idea. Thinking about it, additional negative traits might be a nice way to provide those needed points. The reptech is more of a bandaid tbh.

Hmm, I now see that there's a repeatable tech for additional cybernetic gene modding points. I guess that makes it less necessary to be able to remove beneficial traits, thought it would still be nice to be able to add and remove cybernetic traits at will.

This is a great mod, it does just what it's meant to do and it does it with a nice attention to detail, good descriptive text, etc. It fits seamlessly into the game, which is all you can ask from a mod like this.

One small change I'd like to request is that you make the Advanced Cybernetics research provide the ability to remove beneficial traits and add negative traits, in the same way that its biological equivalent Genetic Resequencing does (since you are using the genetic modification system for the cybernetic traits). At the moment you can only add cybernetics, but once you've added them to your whole species and you lose the non-modified template, you can't remove them or switch them for another, nor can you mix and match other genetic traits in order to get the points to add the advanced cybernetics you want.

Thank you for your input. I'll work through these issues as soon as possible.

Well, I found an more issue.
Necromechanic's effect_desc says this job produces physics and engineering, but job itself produces society and engineering. Which is correct?

5: Necromancer (doesn't produce Engineering) country's home system is given extra 6 Engineering deposit on some celestial body (See about line 1127 in 01_start_of_game_effects.txt). But Necromechanic (does produce Engineering) country's home system is given it also. Is it possible to change it to 6 Physics deposit?
6: Robot pop and Cybernetics trait give Materialist Attraction.

I agree with your stance about vanilla file overwriting, but is it possible to take around or cancel out these issues?

Hello, I found a few issues. Nothing big ones.
1: On admech_jobs.txt, Stellaris 3.4 changed mechanic about amenities modifier and traits. So I am feeling it would be better to copy it.
2: On admech_jobs.txt, Stellaris 3.4 changed job weight mechanic. So I am feeling it would be better to copy it.
3: Necromechanic has low job weight (other specialists have 5 and workers have 0). I am figuring it is because
job weight modifier checks "can_be_soldier = no". (Necromancer's job weight modifier checks "species = { can_be_soldier = no }")
4: In admech_faction_names.txt, name parts (like "Adeptus Mechanicus") are hardcoded. May I ask you to change them to localization keys?

Fair enough, no worries. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Both of those things are by design. The machine cult has slow robot assembly compared to materialist empires, but forge priests offer other bonuses as well. And like the death cult after 3.3, you can choose which temples to build.

Actually just noticed that I can build regular temples in addition to forge temples, which I wasn't expecting.

I've also noticed that you can't build a robot assembly plant as a machine cult. Also, if I build a robot assembly plant with a console command, it gets turned into a forge temple at the end of month. Not sure if this is intended - if so, it's a problem as it really ruins your early-game robot assembly.

Work with 3.3.1 Libra?

Yes, i'm using other mods. Thank you for input, can't pinpoint conflicting one atm though. Running 60+ mods comes with downsides if something specific breaks.

Are you using any other mods? The xenophile faction isn't affected by this one.

I am having the same issue as Deathforce1 described, but this time with xenophile ethos faction. All other factions including machine cult behaves normally in my game so far.

Oops, looks like I changed the value but not the name of the resource. Fixed that for you.

So, The machine cult faction produces influence instead of unity so now it's giving me 14 influence instead lol

Mechanic RISE

Praise the Emperor !

I have also noticed that the robot assembly plant literally disappears after like a month or so of play.

i tried this mod on current version, i'm not 100%(about 80%) sure but i think it removes the ability to build robotics facility for spiritualist if you don't choose the origin.

So, does this not need Synthetic Dawn or that?

Update for 3.2 pls ;( ;)
