Bionic DLC

[Ender's games]

Hi everyone, I have Spaced Out, Frosty pack but I haven't bought yet Bionics. I am wondering what is everyone's opinion on it. Worthy? Good? Other?

Thanks.

You can have the entire colony flooded with C02 and have them breathe through air tank dispensers so yes it’s very entertaining

Personally, I am satisfied with everything, but at first, if you started playing games with regular dupes, then you shouldn't take biorobots. They need to prepare the infrastructure (for starters, multi-charge batteries).
They don't breathe or exhale carbon dioxide, as a result, for example, it is very convenient to make vacuum jumpers between thermal zones for high-power wires that cannot be simply laid in blocks. You make a mini-room, pump out all the air, make a jumper and that's it.

Bionics are fun, dealing with their stupid stress response is TRASH. Imo the fact that they can basicly kill the entire colony BY THEM SELVES via just stress alone is really really ♥♥♥♥ design. Their trade offs are NOT worth a ticking time bomb that will just decide to throw a temper tantrum and electrocute all the nearby machinery, kill duplicates they passby, and in general be a massive resource drain. If you can manage their stupid diva ass needs then they are great. Its just when they DO get stressed that they go from a fun addition to "pure cbt"

[Stormer]

They at least have less issues with stress as long as you keep them away from water and dont ignore gear oil

Bionics are more stupid than Meeps

seriously... how dupes tend to be programmed to do the worst thing possible and actively try to get themselves killed...

yeah, Bionics do this 1000% more

like... regular dupes, try to avoid standing in high radiation...

Bionics?... Ohh let me just idle right next to the Nuclear reactor then complain why they got major radiation sickness

Long time player and can say: not a fan.

Bionic DLC would be overpriced if it was free.

I look at it as having to deal with a different set of challenges while gaining some other unique advantages. If you hate training standard dupes for example, you can make a super dupe fairly quickly with a bionic, inserting a bunch of boosters to make them ridiculously fast at a particular job around your colony, and swap them out at will to do other things as needed.

It's not for everybody, but if you're not overly fussy, you can make some interesting colonies with them. And just like the Frosty Pack, you'll get some free supply closet items with it too. And of course you can always claim your own discount on the price with the loyalty pack on the store page.

The Entire DLC feels like a mod idea that wasn't realized in a meaningful way.

They're isn't a reason to use them over regular dupes, not to mention trying to mix the two. The bots are just a bad joke, it's a shame because Spaced Out really expanded the game, and even frosty planet gave new stuff. Bionic just feels like a hasty cash-grab from the die hards. I will be properly vetting any other new DLC because Bionic felt like a Ubisoft dlc..

I liked the DLC and the new technologies. It's just a pity that they don't release new DLC as often as I would like.

Yeah, i mean... its quirky...

But... there is nothing in the Bionic pack i would miss if i diddn't have it

where as in the frozen pack, there are many items/plants/critters that are just plain useful even if you're not going to the Ceres planet

i think the bionics should have just been build-able robot assistants, not "Dupes" that could have been used to automate mundane tasks on distant asteroids or other places where you don't specifically want a dupe or a small colony, etc

Thank you all for your opinions. I think for now I'll wait with buying it. I'm very entertained as it is and there's still a ton of content I've never seen (like gassy moos, for example).

That said, if anyone else wants to voice their opinions, please keep the post alive.
