Mod for Machine Intelligence, in which normal pops are available to live in your planets?

[feetmusk]

I want to play as a Robotic Race that was built to protect my masters. We run the government, but the people are still working (as scientists and such). We were only built for war, and to protect our masters from harm.

The Rogue Servitors is kind of like this, except the organic pops are useless for anything but producing unity. I want my organic pops running energy and research, while the main population (the robots) would be running the mineral production and warfare.

I want something that will add this, either a mod or maybe some addition by Paradox (I highly doubt that though). Is there something? Because playing as the Sol Synthetics, protecting the humans from harm but at the same time not making them effectively organic statues would be pretty cool.

Driven Assimilator will give you something close to this in the base game. You start with cyborgs (similar to organics in most respects) and machines, and you can customize each according to how you plan to use them. Your cyborgs will breed like organics, and you can build machines as you need them.

The difference will be that your cyborgs aren't affected by happiness modifiers and don't form factions, so if that is important to you then you'll need a mod. If you can live without those things (personally I think not having factions is a feature, not a drawback) then Driven Assimilator might be worth a try.

Right. It's just that:

1) People will hate me because "I want to assimilate all organics"
and
2) Yeah, I do want them to have their own opinions and everything. But this is semi what i was looking for. Thanks.

You could try with this mod:

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=902967084

It will make you start with your race being robots, but it allows organics to live on your planets and function like normal organic pops. You do not start with your own organic pops however.

Of course it is a pre-synthetic-dawn mod so I am not sure what would happen if you try to rn it while playing a robot empire. And I have not tried if it still works too. But it was fun to play with before that and I always made multi-species empires where every race was welcomed and my robots just made sure of war and running things where needed.

Yeah the mod, if you read the description of which, is being removed from the workshop soon...

Aw, that sucks. Well, hopefully another mod like this comes out soon, maybe even for Synthetic Dawn.

I think this may work.

Aww, yes! That is perfect! Thank you so much!

You're welcome :)

I did a playthrough with a non-adaptive slow breeder xenophobic fanatic materialist race kind of like this. Droids outnumbered my organics pretty early on, and my invasion forces were largely robotic armies. By the time I researched synths, it was pretty close to what you were describing.
