Robots and Guardians (R&G)

[Skorne Tet'Zu]

If I purchased the Package, which includes R&G, does that DLC automatic begin to play out when you start the game?

In short... I'd like to play without having to deal with attacks from outer space... until, of course, I'm ready for Attacks from outer space.

I hope that made sense; basically I'd like to enjoy the base game first before the DLC Kicks in.

Its a separate scenario that you must start yourself. It will not just start on its own so it's safe to install at any time.

Also if you like to study/get a grip of some of the mechanics without having to deal with attacks off any kind you can select Peace First in the game rules and you wont have any attacks at all.

Or you use the following mod and during the game decease or increase the attacks to your liking.

The DLC adds the Guardians scenario (save Hope). Similar gameplay, but with the added complexities of feeding Hope and ramping up Hope. The attacks change from bugs to droids and drones with some packing big guns.

If you don't play that scenario, then the base game gets new researchable tech - delivery drones and service/defense robots.

PS: The DLC is on sale this week. Feels a bit lackluster to me. Wish they'd fix the gross pathfinding/task management issues along with the DLC.

Massive Thanx Mates... GREAT to Know. Can't wait to get started :).

The delivery drone is in the base game now, but the other robots aren't.

So, it's on sale. Is it worth getting if the military scenario is my least favorite? It sounds like it's an extension of that one.

The DLC adds service and harvest bots to the base game scenarios. That alone is worth the DLC price to me. I haven't tried the Guardians scenario yet.
