How do you recharge droids?

pain to ask but when 1,3 update? would love to have slave droids again

can I repair droids after they die from collent lose or do they despawn iv'e yet to see them die without an exposion

oh my god this is a game changer first time iv'e ever bin able to tell sombody to do somthing and they just do it! and when i relized that they don't sleep I was estatic! The early days of rimworld have never bin easier! sorry for the spelling.

This mod and Cthulhu mod don't really mix. Droids (at least, worker droids) immediately begin worshiping nyarlothep, and making everyone else very uncomfortable....xD

ya I cant figure out what droid parts are for either. Also my droids don't eat, have to have a power supply to recharge them.

also thanks!

Thanks

1.0 now. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1541064015

1.0 soon? :D

They can eat and the food charges up their energy. They die if their energy's zero, but not if their food's zero. The reason for this is is actually balancing related, but officially its because they have bioreactors.

Then again i've yet to build an android not running the vanometric upgrade.

I know it used to be like this, but do they still require either food or only electricity for nutrition, or has this changed?

I really love your mod

How do droid repair parts actually work? I can use the droid repair kits just fine, but the parts don't seem to be usable in anything?

Also, building an android has some weird things going on. When it random rolls when you open the menu you can get professions that aren't available to choose from when you actually look at the drop-down menu. Kinda bizzare.

like those debug buttons on droids that allow you to fill the energy need on droids

i know about that....but its a pain if
1.you have dev mode permanetly turned off
2.you like to use the preparecarefully menus because its kinda hard finding all the stuff in the headdriff menu....it toke me 12 minutes to find the mech hives for the androids....

maybe a good way that would be a win win would be if you have it when your in dev mode and have god mode on you can insta finsh a android thats inside a android printer.....

The upgrades are all Hediffs. Should be able to add them that way. The skin color will you have to change manually tho.

HAY. So i havea big boy request.....could you make a patch that allows you to have the full range of upgrades when using "prepare carefully".....it would make alot of sense and would be really reallly nice if you did.....

I have another idea, this time pertaining to droids. How about the ability to install upgrades into them after crafting them, like a component that will maintain the droid, preventing it from breaking down. or a modified persona core designed to be installed into a droid, giving it the ability to learn new skills and get better at tasks.

Hibernation pod not built. I put it on the floor, workers carry resources and work with it, but in the end nothing comes out. What is the problem?

I didn't know that there are two different repair things (⌒_⌒;)

Told you earlier :P

Okay, I think I understood: I needed driod repair kit , not parts . At least it is written in research tab

You maybe don't have repair parts, and they are using medecine kits
When i started to play Rimworld with this mod, i had the same issue.
now on my advanced campain their are all using repair part for repairing droids, thats maybe a problem with the medecine quality priority ? ive set mine to maximum to everything
I can't help you more

I dont know why but my doctors keeps using normal medicine to repair the droids

You have to craft Repair droid part, its supposed to be the "medecine" for the droids
Repair droid parts are done for material damages on droids, such as coolant losses
To repair a droid for maintenance, meaning repairing worn parts, you have to use repair kits.
Both can be crafted on the machining bench. I don't remember if you need to do a research to unlock crafts.

So, how do i repair droids? It has coolant loose, but I can't find a way to repeair it (also, doctor uses normal medicine to heal it? maybe it's a conflict with one of the mods?)

Oh, you did ? Cool, thanks.
Can't blame you, i got into factorio yesterday and i've yet to do anything else.

Updated the mod to fix the Healer Mech Serum thingy and the Diplomacy Module name. Also sorry for any lack of percievable progess. Been binging Grim Dawn hard lately.

Upgrades can only be applied to newly made androids. Yeah, i wish that wouldn't be the case either.

Also, healer mech serums will remove the upgrades as they are counted as diseases (even if they only have positive effects).

Okay, one other question. How do I upgrade androids? I've researched the upgrade modules but I don't seem to be able to craft them anywhere. Is it something that can only be applied to newly created androids?

what class of meds is the droid repair parts?

Thanks again for the awesome mod, ChJess. I like the division of droids into worker and battle droid types, and at body size 2.0, the battle droids make pretty good pack animals for caravans, too.

I've noticed what seems to be a small text bug with the Diplomacy Module. It has the correct name in the Android Customization window, but when the android is completed, the module shows up as 'Plasteel Skin Upgrade' in the Health tab. It does give the Diplomacy bonuses, though.

@ChJess
Already made progress for a fix for the Hipernation pod build bug?

could you maybe make a tech that allows you to upgrade already made androids so you can keep the original ones you start with?

Does this work with Dubs Hygiene?

but you *can* make the human group, then start the game and use godmode to spawn in an android fabricator and all the items needed to make the android you wanted to start with, then use the debug finish crafting to spawn it, and delete everything but the android. But that is cheating, and if you don't do it fast enough that wealth spike will be permanently saved in the history tab.

@Knight9910
Nope. personally i'm hoping for a compatibility update between Androids and Prepare Carefully. Pretty much everyone that uses mods at all uses it, so it wouldn't be just a small gimmick either. Maybe even upgrade support, ChJess could use the exisiting interface and add a button to the prepare carefuly screen like Facial Stuff (did) or Psychology does.

@Professional Disconnecter - But I can't make just one character an android and the rest humans?

Got a copy of the B18 version here. https://www.dropbox.com/s/tokwx2404ktmdzd/Androids-B18.zip?dl=0

So about B18?

It will makes things too easy Cx
Are you interested by making a maintenance pad feature ?
Fueled by repair kits, and when the droid have got 1 , 2 or x weardown, they will go inside it, or even programming droid to go each xdays into the pad.
Is the idea good ? or better forgetting it ? :d

Would be very costly to automatically make the droids ask for maintence.
You can turn off weardown entirely in the mod settings though.

Question: Is there a way to make an "auto maintenance" on droid and battle droids ? or are we forced to make bills manualy ?

Androids adds new scenarios that make all your characters androids.
You can modify them like any normal pawn, but you can't give them upgrades unfortunately.

How do I create an android? I'm using Prepare Carefully and I'm trying to start with an android character. I can select the android backstories - Basic Model, Combat Model,etc. - but the character is still considered to be a basic human.

I can't seem to find the B18 version, or a compiled release for it? I found what may have been the github page but it had no released.

Also, would it be possible to give battle droids integrated weapons as upgrades? Like you could upgrade them while they are being built like androids to have a minigun or a rocket launcher or a charge rifle or something?

Can you add pictures of the new stuff added like battledroids?

Transhumanist should probably have a secondary name for non-humans, or maybe just patched to be transcreationist. And the food need is there for a reason, androids have bioreactors. Droids need to recharge from batteries, solar clothing or direct charging from a power grid, whereas androids survive off food. Though you can get rid of both the hunger and energy need with the Vanometrics upgrade.
