@Killathon, thanks for the quick fix; you're the best!

My chemstructs can not eat anything, and thus not produce any chemical capsules

Apologies for that! It was an issue that came to my attention yesterday as an edge case related to trying to make it so that synstructs don't expend energy while downed. The issue has been resolved and committed to ABF, so once Steam updates your files for ABF, it should be fixed and the shortage should lessen and fully disappear after the standard quarter of a day.

I have the same issue as Too_Lazy_Cat :(

my droid collapsed at low power, i recharged it but i can't find how to reactivate it, it's still incapacitated

@Starviper
That’s not actually a bug - the Charging Station and Bedside Charger are gone in 1.6. They were replaced by the beamcoil and enervoir.

@ShadowV2
I have no plans for that at the moment. My interests lie in other areas for development.

I have an bug with the mod in 1.6. the charging station and bedside charger are not showing up. i have it tested with 1.5 and over there is all ok

I saw that you on a different comment said that skymind was not coming back because of a bug that was too dificult to fix. And that it would be needed to be completely rewriten to function again. But wil there be any other feature simular to surrogates and human mind transfer re added in the future?

(Srry for the bad grammar im not nativly english)

@Anon lvl.18
Nope. Drones, both re-programmable and otherwise, cannot learn, as they do not *think*. They are no more autonomous or capable of thought than a toaster or an industrial smelter. Learning is the domain of sapient individuals, and with it, comes all the benefits and drawbacks of sapience. There's also technical limitations in my code.

@ImTheLichBruh
There isn't one. Until I get new art assets differentiating it better, questions like yours will continue to come up, I'm sure. I am not staying faithful to AT's design philosophy - I never wanted to in the long term.

@DJ Faren
That is partially why I want to separate my work as much as possible from AT. The only resemblance my work has to it these days is the art assets. I cannot make my own, so until someone makes new ones - and I do need new ones as 1.6 rendering is causing visual artifacting due to the low resolution of some of the current assets - in a different style, I'm stuck with these.

Thanks for making adroids available again<3
One question. Is there any option to change global learning factor for drones to something else than 0%?

For the Civil Sysntructs, Where is Tier 5? The Psycho one?

Man I wish someone would bring original android tiers with TIERS. Like your work is fine and all but just... All that nostalgia.

One day. I ran into serious creative roadblock on what should be in the factions, as they existed prior to martial and utility synstructs, and ultimately decided I’d rather not force myself to update something I’m not content with.

If/once I wrap my brain around what the factions should be and how they should play out, it’ll happen. Or someone else will make decent factions first.

Will we see the return of the factions that were included previously?

No. ABF is not Android Tiers, and SkyMind had irreconcilable bugs that could not be overcome.

Will ABF have the Skymind core? It was my favorite part of OG Android Tiers

There aren't any options for turning off gender. Synstruct animals have no genders, but all synstructs have genders. Vanilla does not like genderless humanlikes, and I don't fight it on that.

why is there options to turn off robot gender

As the description (which I realize is in dire need of a review pass) states, synstructs will attempt to recharge via available sources and will consume food if unable to do so. They don’t need food, but they do need energy, and can get it from food if they can’t find it elsewhere.

Recreation and mood are key components of any truly sapient being. It cannot be disabled for them… but that doesn’t mean you can’t make synstructs that are beneath such things. Drones and reprogrammable drones have no mood or other such trifling needs. Not all synstructs models can be drones, so keep that in mind - the description for each race states what format(s) they can use.

why do the ABF civil synths need food and recreation? can that be turned off? i was hoping to capture the ATR feel of the game but that doesnt seem possible anymore.
