Big and Small - Simply Robots

A variety of robotic colonists designed to be flexible and and have strong compatibility with vanilla and mod content.

As with all my mods, the intent is to remain roughly in line with vanilla Rimworld's balance. If you feel something is too strong, weak, etc. please feel free to write a comment here or on my Discord.

This is a race mod which supports but does not Require Biotech. You'll notice the optional Xenotypes are very barebones, and this is because most behavior is controlled by the race itself.

The mod includes a number of new races with their own anatomy, and a variety of features such as drinking fuel, repairing missing limbs with components, and so on.

Integration with vanilla and other mods has been prioritized, practically all your favorite surgery mods will work fine on the androids except where a feature has been deliberately blacklisted. The robots can also receive genes.

Along with this the mod was built to showcase features of the Big & Small Framework, such as diet and apparel rules, various filter lists, setting textures based on hostility, ideology color, or even multi-step condtionals, and so on. All controllable via XML

The popular theory is that these robots came from the shattered empire and some outside interference made them go rogue and start behaving very erratically.

The Hypermedia is often seen as a bit of a joke since the main body of their force is made up of so-called "Ad-bots" with old tube TV-looking heads and often bizarre behavior, hardly an intimidating foe on a world full of Wasters, Mechanoids, and horrible insectoid abominations.

Experienced Outlanders warn not to underestimate them though. At times they may snap into mechanoid-like tactics blended with the type of human-like ingenuity that even archotech level AIs rarely display.

Furthermore, there are reports of unknown rugged combat models sighted in the area soon before losing contact with a settlement.

Ad-bots are simple robots meant for simple and often human-facing jobs. Their actual name is "HIR - Human Interface Robot".

Based on their design-specs Ad-bots shouldn't be able to outwit a Cleansweeper, but somehow these pieces of mass-produced museum technology are driving around all over the rimworld and managing to do far more than their specs suggest.

Ad-Bots are available in two versions. They are rather small, but surprisingly sturdy. Their systems aren't meant to take blows however, and they tend to easily get disabled from injuries. They can however work all day and all night without recreation or sleep, albeit slowly and rarely terribly well. They also cannot wear tight-fitting clothing such as shirts and other things that would get stuck in their gears or wheels.

The erratic ones... are a different deal.


A mechanical lifeform with a design born from early attempts at developing AI Persona by emulating a human using engineering. It is made mostly out of metals and synthetical components.

This design is especially rugged, but the bulky and urb-style design of its body prevents it from wearing non-loose clothing and armor.

Multiple attempts have been have apparently been made to transfer human brains and minds to these fully mechanical shells before this was made illegal. Some key researchers have falsely claimed success and had to be silenced.

Claims about human-looking synths are entirely fabricated to undermine the trust the citizens have in the ability of the Empire to maintain law and justice on these worlds.

Anyone found illegally discussing or spreading these rumors around will be tried in court and will risk the stripping of their ranks and possessions for even smaller infractions.

It is imperative for the safety of our law-abiding citizens that this deception is stopped.

By popular request...


Rumor has it Heaven absolutely loathe these robots for reasons unknown.


Some say these things are some manner of nanomachine cloud were created by Horax or its cult.

There is a few little secrets hidden away in this mod. Some more obvious than others.

As you might have noticed there are a number of thematic features, such as how many of the genes have different backgrounds when applied to robots.

You've also got neat little tidbits like how the Ad-bots show hostility on their little monitors.

Speaking of which there are 86 different "faces" for them. (don't worry all together they are not even half a megabyte).

Many stats as well as genes, gene-backgrounds, etc. have been modified for the robots so the UI also properly shows that they are mechanical beings and not made out of meat and flesh.


Steel Enforcers and Automated Enforcers

Mechanical lifeform with a design born from early attempts at developing AI Persona by emulating a human using engineering. It is made mostly out of metals and synthetic components.

Their design is especially rugged, but the design and exposed moving components prevents it from wearing non-loose clothing and armor.

Some attempts to transfer the consciousness of humans in various different ways have been attempted in ancient history, but the experiments were shut down. It is not completely clear where those wandering the rimworld came from.

In terms of capabilities they are sturdier than humans and quite suited to combat, but they require a fairly large amount of fuel to remain operational.


Synths can show up in some groups of visitors, or rarely you can get an entire raid or group of visitors of imposters. The imposters will sometimes have hints to their nature, but others are better disguised. Was that pigskin kid actually a kid or just a robot? Who knows!

• What do they eat?
  
  • Android Fuel. It is craftable using any cooking station, but is most efficiently made using a specialised kitchen-refinery unlocked with the biofuel refinery technology
  
  
• Where are my vampire robots?
  
  • They need Big and Small Genes for all their genes..
• Can androids eat regular food?
  
  • Normally no, but if you give them a reprocessor or nuclear stomach they can.
• Compatible with regular genes?
  
  • Yes. You can add all sorts of things that probably have no business being on a robot.

No known issues.

The blood-bots will grab a few optional genes from VRE Sanguophages if you've got that in your list.
