Description
PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION! YOUR QUESTION MAY BE ANSWERED BELOW!

SYNTHETIC DAWN DLC IS REQUIRED FOR USE

Can you translate this mod? Got a cool suggestion? Feel free to message me on this discord! https://discord.gg/dTmtACh

Sentient Machines is simply a mod that adds a new Species Type that uses the machines portraits and can make use of normal Ethics. It also adds a new trait which must be MANUALLY added to each Sentient Machine Empire you create.

HOW TO USE:

1) Select a portrait in the Appearance section of the Empire Creation Menu from the "Sent-Machine" Tab
2) Add the Sentient Machine Trait in the Trait section of the Empire Creation Menu
3) Select your ethics!

LIMITATIONS:

Due to how the type of pop growth is restricted to the Government type, Sentient Machine pops "Grow" like biological pops do.
Due to the upkeep values of normal pops (those with ethics), Energy is not a possible upkeep value for the Sentient Machines, to compensate i have doubled their Consumer Goods consumption with the Sentient Machine Trait
Potentially there are going to be bugs with the Synthetic Ascension Path.

@Blade-13 Doesn't look like it as they aren't a linked consciousness

does it still require the gestalt consciousness?

Hammer, there already is a mechanic to do that. Start with a normal organic empire and add a civic. Have the Civic, or whatever, flag the empire with the Synthetic Ascension flag. Then, use an Event at the game start to turn the organic Pop species into robots. Add the appropriate Mechanical Trait.

BOOM. Universal compatibility.

Thanks for the quick reply! I asked because machine empires talk to you differently if you are a machine vs if you are organic. It would be cool if they recognized you as organic with this mod active. Maybe they already do, but I just started a new game.

no difference, tho i could see about adding such a feature

How do actual machine empires view this race? I like this idea.

Consider using the Vanilla Synthetic Ascension. Simply mark your Empire with the Synthetic Ascension flag and any need to edit any Vanilla rendition files simply goes away!
