If you can shoot a gun you can mine a rock!

I love this mod and can't wait to see it updated for 1.6 Tysm <3

I'm still on 1.5, getting no error msg but my battle droids seem to have gained the ability to mine some how XD

Thank you. I'm waiting with pleasure .

@A Kobold
Naturally, I'm waiting for my must-have mods to be updated, find a good replacement for the aging RimPy mod manager. Then, I'll start a series where I finally experiment with all of the features of all of the DLC that I haven't messed around with yet (which is most of them).

My games generally tend to get bogged down in modded shenanigans. And the mid-game lag generally absolutely kills that game. Hopefully, with a better mod manager AND optimized base game code from 1.6, my heavily-modded games will only have a moderate and acceptable level of slow-down now.

I'd third that notion, but first let's make sure it all works.

For example, having this mod active now messes with World Generation thanks to 1.6 and causes practically no factions to have settlements anywhere. Planet's as empty as my Steam Wallet

@Ryū
This guy gets it.
I second this motion.

Agree with Santa. This mod, at a basic level, is a fully customized pawn production. I also absolutely LOVE this mod's approach towards androids as a race or species, meaning they are synthetic humanlike beings, which can regenerate their wounds and coolant loss, rather than being outright machines that cannot survive without repairs.
I tried VRE Androids, but it's too complex for my taste and additionally, quite more limited. IIRC, VRE Androids doesn't allow to install every bionic and implant on androids, and they don't have options to develop psychic powers. If VRE Androids were to be taken as a base and Androids! mod's features were to be added as an overhaul or addon for VRE Androids (or something like that), it would be cool to see.

@firedragonmc
>My plan is to basically rewrite this mod using VRE androids as a baseline and port over most of the features in this mod.
Great solution IMO. I really like the quasi-gene system the VRE androids have going, and I adore the customization options that the androids from this mod have. I want both, really.
This mod has the very first humanoid pawn androids that I have ever played with, way back in 1.1, I think (2019), when I started playing Rimworld.

Oh i don't mean mods from a player's perspective, but mods from a modder's perspective. Between the new stuff biotech adds and VRE Androids I think there's a better framework to rewrite this mod using those as a base

@firedragonmc Can you list off a few of the better ones? I haven't found many other mods that have similar things to this one, and VRE Androids feels to different compared to this for me.

I do plan on updating to 1.6, though since i'm working full time now it's going to be a bit slower depending on how much changes there are with vanilla 1.6 and HAR itself.

1.6 would probably be the last version though, it's a 7 year old mod, and with biotech's release there are a better and probably more performant and modular solutions using modern vanilla functions instead of the jank custom code.

My plan is to basically rewrite this mod using VRE androids as a baseline and port over most of the features in this mod

@Ryū
Ask Mlie if he is willing to update this mod, if firedragonmc doesn't want to or doesn't have the time anymore.

looking forward to 1.6 version of my favorite Rimworld mod!

I don't know if this is intended, but you can apply xenogerm to your droid (the simple machines) and get him Quick Study, raising his Base Learning Factor to 50%
Even with only 18% total learning speed, you can get yourself a pretty nifty cook, farmer or component factory once he'll hit that 8 Craft lvl.

Update: So the problem with the hair is actually a base game problem I found, rather than this mod, so I cleaned my install, updated to 1.6 and sent a screenshot after finding someone else also reporting this bug exists in 1.5 and still exists in the upcoming 1.6 update.

update to 1.6 please

Huge problem I determined so far to either be a problem with HAR or this mod: Hair is not properly positioned as pawns move, when colonist android faces away from camera(facing upwards) hair is "clipping" and back body appears "above" the hair, causing long-haired colonists such as those with the "decent" hair style and similarly long hair to appear as if the hair is detached from the body or in front of the pawns face.

Eyes don't glow

Я буду жоско долбить их в зад и кота тоже.

Artificial Beings Framework?

Is this Compatible with Combat Extended interms of of Armour ratings?

Ive run into and issue with basic battle droids becoming so hoplessly obsesed with the golden cube, that their primary purpose, murderbot to the point of becoming dazed and creating an literal cube out of plasteel. Anamoly DLC related.

@haru THANK YOU!!! android traders came and they were all invisible, when i deleted that file it fixed everything

There is no change in eyes. How should I make them glow?

THE red list IS Config error in ChjAndroidEnclave: description has trailing whitespace

how do i fix an android?, i already make android repair kit but i cant seem to find a way to repair my android, i have tried to hibernate but it only repair coolant loss. I genuinely dont understand how to fix these androids

For everyone using the mod go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100\2889326293\1.5\Assemblies and delete the Assembly-CSharp.dll file. The mod distributes an (outdated) source of the game which can lead to errors with the game itself or other mods.

I am currently using NL's compatable body with his mod, is there any way to change the body type for both male and females? they are still currently using the default RW body model, although thigappe patches the clothing its still odd to see a big bump at the lower section, especially for the women .

hey, seems like you made a mistake and are redistributing outdated version of vanilla code in your mod, you migh wanna fix that

I'm able to make androids based off of some modded xenotypes, but not others, any idea why that is and how to fix it if possible?

I should of also mentioned that if your batteries cant keep up with the droids power charging consumption that you can craft a different kind of batteries to use on them when they're downed. It's a very heavy steel based economy with these things lol.

@mataa9054
Need power stored in a batteries, build a hibernation pad, then make sure it's connected to power & if you set an area zone for the droids to be in then make sure they have access to a hibernation pad in the area. There are also other ways to recharge them like solar belts & chem fuel if I remember correctly.

How to charge the androids?

@Master_Shadow i found a fix apparently it was better loading that was screwing up every mod and making the textures not load

1+ ( big red cross ) same load order didnt add any mod our change load order

i got a recent error somehow when i have androids the body is an error and becomes a big red cross

I do have one issue, if I have batteries in storage marked as Not Allowed (storing them for emergencies only), the bots will refuse to charge from the power grid and just let themselves die. After allowing them to be used again, once all were consumed my bots resumed normal recharging from the power grid

Are there any usage restrictions for the extraordinary destruction beam of the extraordinary machine? One of them suddenly stopped working.

Why the robots still need rest？I have add the infinite battery for it. It still has the rest entry, and sleep when rest go down to 0.

Tails?

-Removed boredom patch, doesn't seem to be doing anything anyways
-Droids can no longer be infected by metal horrors
-Fixed androids being unable to be butchered
-Performance improvement: health tracker used to tick for every pawn on the map, now only pawns with the android like hediff will be processed

@Rassmond
A lot of errors seems to be from long term colonies and not immediately apparent during quick tests. I've also been busy with other stuff and not actively playing rimworld

Is this mod even maintained? Lots of errors reported and no feedback

"Add trait" is broken
Exception filling window for Androids.CustomizeAndroidWindow: System.MissingFieldException: Field 'AlienRace.GeneralSettings.disallowedTraits' not found.
and
Mouse position stack is not empty. There were more calls to BeginScrollView than EndScrollView. Fixing.

눈이 바닐라로 나오는데어떻게하나요?

how can use eye color? just nomal eyes...

There's a memory leak whenever I draft my android and move them around. It's fine when the distance is close, but when I click slightly further away, my RAM usage tanked and crashes the game.

anyone having a problem which the Androids going invisible on a load ???

i got around it by using character editor to just give them a never sleep genotype after theyre printed

@frick
True. I agree. Nevertheless, to block the need for sleep, you have the Sleepstopper mod.
