Base Robots Expansion (1.2)

I recently changed some of the settings to build robots. Turns out that pawns will take all day going back and forth getting resources and their mood would tank. So I have created another mod to deal with the crafting insanity.

Instead of forcing a player to build a robot by hauling stack after stack of items I divided the resources into robot batteries and robot microchips.

Sadly I doubt there will ever be a way to repair robots due to the way Base Robots is coded. Since I don't have any c# knowledge I can not fix that mod. That is why I released Base Robots Expansion which I was able to do with nothing but xml and Krita.

Thanks to Mlie, the mod is now on 1.2!

-------------------------------------------------
The prices are built around having other mods which supplement your income as well as the bots completely removing the need to satisfy pawn needs and wants. In my play-through I had so many robots that I didn't need to worry about food/clothes/psych/wishes.
Robots don't go crazy and they can even be used a mobile bombs/shields. I justified the prices due to all those effects.

(The meta was, windmill/solar/battery then tons of robots to do pawn work. I didn't like the idea of essentially cheating away half the game in an instant. Now it will actually take effort to create robots.)

BUT! you can customize the costs of every robot and part and even remove technology requirements as well and modify their speed and durability in the xml! .
Feel free to edit at your own content by using your favorite text editor heck even Wordpad can do it.
