nl facial anim makes the mechanoids appear without heads is there a fix for this??

This mod might seem to be a problem with the newly added "Sentience Catalyst" as I try to use the catalyst with my colonist, after selecting the colonist who will use it: the moment that I mouse over an animal to use I get some errors and my UI disappears.

Close Enough, Welcome back Skeletons!

I'm very excited to see what sort of stuff is planned for the biotech port, now that 1.6 is out and VRE Androids is updated as you were waiting for. Please take your time for the update and don't let people pestering you discourage your drive, as this is a very high-quality mod

got the Same problem. No Heads. And if i Spawn a Persona all Pawn Graphics will be invisible.
If i Char edit the Persona and randomice her all will be displayed again

Missing heads, uninstall reinstall mod does not work, poked and prodded the code. Could not for the life of me figure out why the heads are missing. Possible to do with neck? No idea, I've tried for 2 days. I love the look of this mod but the model's heads are broken so I'm very sad :(. Verified rimworld files, etc. Chat GPT could not figure out what was wrong with the pathing either. Please update :'(

@vex VE Androids has updated to 1.6

I must be blind, ignorant, or both. I love the mod, I love running half-robot colonies, but is there some reason that my created Mechenents have no head-casing, and why my colony vanishes, when a Personae is created?

Does anyone in the comment section know of any incompatibilities, or is this a skill issue with Rimworld Together? Genuinely curious. No shade thrown.

Having a curious problem with this Mod, and I;m sure its due to a incompatibility somewhere. When they are on the screen, they are invisible and cause all my pawns to vanish. Also they have a hunger bar I cannot seem to fix and eventually die from starvation (ya...robots getting hungry lol)

i already tried unsubing/resubing and changing the mod load orders multiple times to no success :(

Nothing seems to be a mod mismatch here, just that the game can't find the graphic for w/e reason

Error is this:
Failed to find any textures at RobotRace/Head_Mechanent/ while constructing Multi(initPath=RobotRace/Head_Mechanent/, color=RGBA(0.796, 0.812, 0.765, 1.000), colorTwo=RGBA(1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000))

Hmm... does this mod play nicely with either Androids Expanded Overhaul or Koi's Mech-Androids? Either of those could potentially be fighting over graphics, but I'd think it would just be the latest one overwriting the texture rather than deleting the texture entirely...

same, i dont see heads

@Vex No luck on that on my end.

@Atreidi I have a full biotech port done and chilling, I'm just waiting for VE Androids to update.

@ꙮktober @Singularity @Eeo @Moth Try unsubbing and resubbing to the mod, or verifying your game's files. It seems to be a bug with rimworld itself.

Running 1.5 still, can confirm missing heads.

I got the same missing heads issue
it worked fine until a few hours in to the game then heads started disappearing

Getting the same issue Moth is. I do look forward to running about as a robo-mechanator though

The Common Sense Mod appears to be the culprit behind the incompatibility issue causing the pawns to be unable to recharge. I definitely didn't just spend 2 hours slowly removing mods to figure it out. Not at all..

Ever considered dropping the HAR completely from this mod?

seems there's an issue generating robot's heads or sometimes even their whole bodies, here's the error

Failed to find any textures at RobotRace/Head_Persona/ while constructing Multi(initPath=RobotRace/Head_Persona/, color=RGBA(0.894, 0.620, 0.353, 1.000), colorTwo=RGBA(0.224, 0.224, 1.000, 1.000))

@SageMan Maybe as an implant later down the line, but for now if you want, you can go into the mod's alien races xml file, go to the one labeled mechanent, and scroll all the way to the bottom til you find modExtensions, and then find incapableOfLove and change it to false.

Is it possible to give Mechanates more complex emotions like Personae in order to romance humans. I prefer Mechanates over Personae cause they just simply look cooler as is :P

I'm having a problem with rim-robots_:
What i did to get here (i think) so i have a pawn that's a humanlike mechanoid, i had a problem where all my pawns (minus him ofc) were eating raw food so i went to disallow everything except meals then the error occurred, i then clicked i basically told my pawn he cant drink his fill in chemfuel so i allowed him to "eat" it but i still get the error even after restarting the game(see bellow). it seems not even the batteries recharges them now they just go into a loop trying...

I did paste the error code in discord in #modding-help

@Moth Fixed!

for some reason the over-engineered psylink doesn't work, I could install it but nothing happened
Here's the error from the logs:
JobDriver threw exception in toil Use's initAction for pawn Sharpstrain driver=JobDriver_UseItem (toilIndex=2) driver.job=(UseItem (Job_4619321) A = Thing_PsylinkFormerSynth850763 Giver = ThinkNode_QueuedJob [workGiverDef: null]

I spawned another psylink using dev mode (because I thought the first one was gone, it was not) and when using it the same thing happened, using the item on a different pawn didn't fix it either

@モルフォ Looking into it, thank you!

@Vex I see the bug is fixed last year but it seems the gestator can't resurrect mechs again now.

Neat

Heads-up: this mod may take a bit to update to 1.6, I have most of everything ready, but HAR and VFE are still not fully updated/unstable so I cannot test it.

@DevRow @SSY GASOL This is a mod conflict, not entirely sure which mod causes this though.

for some weird reason, it could be a mod(or a few mods) that makes it so mechanent's and personae's wont consume chemfuel and anything else they eat. i found a way past this bug by drafting the pawn and make them consume the chemfuel that way, just dont bring them to a caravan unless your using a drop-pod to take them from point A to point B. hope this helps.

why the robot can't charge themselves?

plasteel scythe is way to underpowered, melee dps ends up only being +1 due to the manipulation decrease

"Yay! I found this mod that looks awesome - humanoid alien races........."

Question, how do I make it so that Personaes only spawns with screens for a face?

Compatibility Bug Warning:
This mod will disable all patch-based modifications, preventing them from correctly targeting intended entities (e.g., The Dead Man's Switch's Mechanoid Modification Module - including Hydraulic Frames, Transport Frames, etc.). If you require these functionalities, do NOT install this mod.

Hi, can you add compatibility with Fulfillment? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3303447720

i tried doing solo mechanent naked brutality and how do u get to print ur own colonists when robots cant use a normal mechlink?

Okay nvm I see why they need oxygen, one of them just got high on smokeleaf

10/10 would add to a vanilla playthrough

hey could you make it sos2 compatible and not need to give mechanent hypoxia and also that they cant have magic in a rim world of magic

Does this have compatibility with Save Our Ships 2? It would be very awkward if a mechanent needed oxygen in space.

when i tried the mod for some reason i could not order my people to do tasks as they would wonder around as if I had not given any orders.

No puedo resucitar mis mecanoides, uso los peones mecanizadores y veo que cuando activo este mod, ya no puedo resucitarlo apesar que tenga el cadaver del mecanoides y el metal. Cuando intento resucitarlo, sale le mensaje de " no hay ningun cadaver mecanoide" lo cual es mentira

Is it normal that the Persona race have no xenotype?
or at least its not showing up in the Bio panel for me

Can you resurrect the robots?
You can resurrect human colonists with resurrector mech serums. Is their a robot version? I feel like it can't be too hard to resurrect a robot, especially compared to a human.

Are they supposed to feed/charge themselves with the batteries or do I have to continue to tell them to charge themselves?
