Some Techs are Red?

[TheMac]

I get that Jump drives can cause the unbidden to appear, but I can't figure out why Autonomous Ship Intellects or Sapient Combat Simulations are red. I've used the Autonomous Ship Intellects and I've never had a ship rebel and attack my own forces. Is there something else that could happen with either of the latter techs? Thanks.

There are a number of events that can be triggered by having those techs, but most important of all is a rebel machine empire spawning (bear in mind, giving AI full rights prevents this from happening).

Unless wiki is wrong Contingency is affected by a machine empires pops or normal synths not sapient computers.

Wow. All very helpful information! I can see that the performance of Autonomous Ship Intellects is decreased by the Ghost Signal strength, which makes sense, though having never been though a Contingency, I wouldn't have expected my ships to suffer. Hmmm.

Yes, but ships with sapient combat computers will get heavy penalties if Contingency happens.

Right right, but sapient computers themselves don't make the Contingency more likely, even though it already seems to be the most likely Crisis everytime due to random machine empires and the AIs love for robots.

Thank you. I tried to do a little research on this and did come up with a WIKI post. https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/AI_rebellion

I'm not quite sure what the difference is between the robots people build in the mid game and "synths." Do they look and act the same?

[Elitewrecker PT]

Synths are the last tier of buildable robots and are superior in basically everything. Difference is they become subject to happiness buffs/debuffs.

Thank you. There is so much to this game! I did find this WIKI page and do have a better understanding of things now. https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Population

Wiki is always a good source, even though some particular information MAY be slightly outdated at the moment.

Thank you. Yes, you had brought that to my attention in a previous question. Guess it just takes a little time for the new information to make it out there, after 2.0. BTW, have you or has anyone heard if we get a better patch for the weekend besides 2.0.4 beta?

[Elitewrecker PT]

No idea.

[TheMac]

Thanks! Same here. :)

They patch whenever they feel it is ready

They should stop that then, since their feelings were way wacked when they released 2.0.3 Lol.
