@RedMattis Was on 1.5. Good to know. Thanks for your work.

hey Im dumb but just wondering can you make it so VRE androids can use the Tv head and body.
i vary much like the aesthetic but i also like how VRE androids work. signed a dumb a$$

@salt_babe
That is an oversight on my part. I've submitted a change now so the the faction so any non-standard-pawnkinds faction will be (Erratic) Ad-bots or Steel Enforcers. :)

@KahirDragoon
It is fixed in 1.6. 1.5 can get that error, but it is harmless.

Thanks for the quick response. There is a transport pod landed resulting a pawn that's a baseliner human.
Not a big issue. Just want to let you know that if it's related to the hospitality problem though I am not using hospitality. Great mods as always.

@KahirDragoon
Is this on 1.6? The error is harmless, but it shouldn't occur because the MayRequire checks both for Simple Androids and Big & Small Genes.

@salt_babe
Not a bug, they are defined on their pawnkinds instead.

I did hear hospitality and the like could have issues with this though, so I'll see about setting xenotypes on the faction when Biotech is enabled.

Maybe a bug?
Rogue android faction consists of 100% baseliner after Odyssey release.

Getting a red error on StartUp with only Simply Robots and dependencies loaded:

Could not resolve cross-reference: No RimWorld.XenotypeDef named BS_NanomachineVampire found to give to RimWorld.XenotypeChance RimWorld.XenotypeChance

@bdegenkolb4
1.5 or 1.6? The system has been modified a bit in the latter.

@Wraith_Magus
I doubt the leader getting culled is related to this mod itself, it likely has more to do with whatever decided to yeet a faction leader.

@Ersatz
We'll see. Maybe in the future. :)

I experienced a potential issue where robots still need food with nuclear stomach and are unaffected by the universal digestion gene from the genes mod.

I'm having an odd bug. "The faction leader for Hypermedia is null." Apparently, garbage collection, which can't find a way to delete 50 long-butchered ibexes DID decide to cull the leader of the rogue android faction. I remember seeing them earlier in the game when I pulled up character editor, and there was definitely a name there (I think they were baseliners in spite of the faction.) Basically, there was a leader, but they're gone now. It seems like it messes up quests, too, because they would say stuff like "{leaderName}, the leader of {faction}, wants you to {quest}." Is there any way to force the spawning of a new leader?

I agree with @ParasiticSquid that some cross-compatibility/integration between VRE androids and these would be very cool and welcome. especially seeing as VRE androids would represent a sort of mass-produced version of the synths that are here, and since they're from such different generations of machine them not having a lot of overlap in function would make a lot of sense, so less pressure to make the systems sync up or anything, just support eachother's existance within a run (maybe borrowing the seperate android gene system from VRE to avoid issues like @mrclumps8973 is getting with genes overlapping from machine to organic)

anyway very cool and cute mod, great work on the graphics everything looks really good!

So I'm not sure if it's the intended tell or not, but I've had many baseliner pawns spawn with the skin color genes for the robotic pawns, and at least from what I can tell they don't seem to be synths, so I was curious if that is potentially a gene spawning oversight

@ParasiticSquid
It would probably be doable to make some human -> VRE Android conversion. I've not looked into the specifics though. VRE Androids are a bit special in their implementation.

@Official| TheWhiteHattedGamer
I think I use RimHUD most of the time myself.

@Herotrax
They should appear as raiders their unique faction, or created via crafting or surgery you perform yourself.

@Pimp Lucius
I've not added any extra-cheap-resurrection methods for them (as Android Tiers had). I've pondered it, but not sure if it is a good idea.

С каждым днем мы все дальше от бога...

@RedMattis Really late since the last comment was in january but figured I would mention murder drones is on youtube, only eight episodes and a crap ton of plot holes or unexplained lore stuff but still enjoyable if you turn your brain off at times.

Now onto the main reason I commented again: Does this have any compatibility with VRE androids? Like, can we use the android conversion to turn pawns into androids from VRE or are they both stand alone systems that are mutually exclusive and don't interact with each other?

... anyone make a skibidi toilet joke yet?

Greetings fellow gamer

So I have this bug where when viewing the giant robots by clicking on them, if I have portraits of the rim enabled then the colonist UI dissapears, im not sure if its an issue with POTR or RIMHUD but it causes the menu to dissapear with the buttons along the top to remain (social, health, gear, etc)

is there a way to resurrect ad-bots or enforcers once they're dead or are they just completely kaput?

Artificial Beings Framework?

idk why, but i installed it and the robots dosent appear. idk why, i think its a bug or something

Thanks! Your mod is soooo good

There is a fix on the way for the pattern stuff. It is just a bit tangled up in a number of other larger changes at the moment.

im having an issue where human colonists will continuously eat android fuel if theyre hungry while forming a caravan and thats the meal they choose. also for some reason android fuel is chosen automatically when forming a caravan and it has to be manually switched from that to something like simple meals. Maybe it has something to do with anomaly since i just got the DLC and havent had this issue up until installing it.

@Mizkana @gohdelle Yes it appears the recent B&S framework update broke something. I'm making a race mod using the same framework and can confirm similar problems on my end as well.

@Mizkana exact same thing happened to me the other day, even with no other mods

maybe a stupid question but has a way to pick the face for ad-bots been added yet?

For some reason my robots have lost the patterns and are just solid colours

... Ok so it also affects the dark cloud as well... which I now assume means its related to the undead affinity.

I think there's an issue with the Hemohunter's genes that make them trigger the anomaly Proximity detector whenever they pass through it, which is quite annoying, although I assume I should take this to the devs of Big and small genes and such... but thought it best to start here since I consider it to be the effect of the Mystic warrior gene (AKA Mechanite control)

Fun and noted. Thank you.

@Commodore Schlippy
If you've got the Biotech DLC you can use dev-mode to randomize their genes to get new ones. Without it you can transform them back and forth using the Big & Small dev-commands. That also swaps it iirc.

Aside from that it is random.

Is there a way to pick which face the Adbots have, or is it totally random?

@meep34524
They are as of a few updates ago

@Nexus
Maybe if someone decides to draw archotech bodies/heads. My personal to-to list has a lot of other things that need doing before considering stuff like that. :)

wish the the cosmetics could be genes.

Please don't.

Maybe the buildable enforcers could have a robot rebellion chance that increases as you get more of them to compensate for the ability to print powerful colonists. Robot rebellion would cause them to become hostile similar to VE traitors. So having 3 or less is maybe safe but making more than that greatly increases rebellion chance. Could also add the feature to synths to add some paranoia where players have to worry about too many synths joining their colony.

tfw no giant archotech robot wife

Something just snapped! Something inside of me!

@Ravinglegend

Maybe. If there is enough interest I certainly might. :)

I need to figure out some way to balance being able to print steel enforcers though, just having it cost a pile of resources will get quite busted. ^_^;;

Are there plans to make the other robots buildable like the Hemohunters or the base Steel Enforcers (non-persona ones)?

You can craft the android fuel at a campfire or cooking station using wood or chemfuel.

The actual refinery is more efficient though.

Hey I currently have an issue where my bot's cant eat, The second they do they start vomiting.
Was wondering if this is a known issue or conflict and its there's a solution.

is there any good way to feed a Android in medieval overhaul?

Surely a lot more of what is in the "race" health condition can be abstracted into genes?
Also the hedif says thoughts are disabled and how many but no way to know which ones.

(honestly I've wanted romantic compatibility and classification as genes for a LONG time even if it doesn't make sense lol)

A no food need gene
A no sleep need gene
Power need gene?
Fuel need gene?
Neutroamine gene? Death rest for androids haha (shout out VFE Androids)

On the one hand VFE android just feels like its incomplete and could do with so so much more
And on the other is Simply Robots which feels like it shyed away from going all the way in on a mechanical gene pack mod so people can't quite live out their Robo fantasies outside of HAR

@spectator
They will be created as the base of their type. Genes can of course be added onto this. :)

@Wid4er
AdBots can be freely made (and can technically be turned into other types of robots later).

If you have an AI chip and the required technology you can also use that to create a special robot.

when you build any of the robots are you able to edit their genes or do they just get made with no input on how they come out

I understand that steel enforcers can be manufactured and in turn converted into synths, is it possible to skip that step and manufacture a synth directly? I do this for a run of the only surviving mechanizer of a planet without humans and the goal is to repopulate it. I think the synths are not sterile right?

@Othercide Knight
The Adbots can be built.

The Steel Enforcers you can convert pawns to with the right technology.

If you have a Persona AI Chip you can make a... special robot.

@GraveMuse
Nice to hear. :)

is there any way to craft more if you want a colony of just robots? or is it normal reproduction mechanics with biotech?
