ennemies, might be my mods then let me test

The shield is set to let allied rounds pass through
Were allies attacking it or were enemies attacking it?
From my test, the shield works fine

appreciated :]

Ok, I'll look into it

Yeah it still doesnt work

i'll try it, really dont like how they look though :(

Use this. I'm not updating this mod anymore.
If changing doesn't help, I'll look into it.

the shields on the destroyer seem to not work at all

@Coldzero Thank you, it really works!

@Fruity Trump
I only know how to resolve the issue, not to prevent it
Use Character Editor. One of the sliders will be at 0 (all the way on the left)
Drag that slider to the right. It's the transparency. I have no idea what causes it nor do I have the skill to fix it sadly.
@samsockeater
I'm unsure. I lost the will to do highly technical modding for RimWorld. I've tried fixing issues I've encountered and some things are just too complex for me to understand what's going on.
The other two tiers might be safe.

Maybe one day I'll just make these bots part of Biotech if I feel like banging my head against the wall to get that working

Bug Report: Missing All Droid Textures

I encountered an issue where all the textures for the Archotech Droids are missing, and they appear with no visible body or textures at all. This issue seems to occur when using this mod in combination with other mods like the "Big and Small" framework, which may cause a texture conflict or prevent textures from loading correctly.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any suggestions on how to resolve it or prevent the missing textures?

any ideas why the droid would spawn as a floating head of hair and no body? and if its doing it for this would it do it for the other two tiers as well?

@CTH2004

I had plans to add things but I'm not skilled enough with art, C# or XML to implement them. Honestly, there's a link to an updated version which fixes bugs so it could be better to just use it.
Best to consider this abandoned.

The most I added to this since the old version was a CE patch that mostly works, Shields from Biotech to the Destroyer, and made the Archdroid do research and social (but won't form bonds)
I also disabled the weird human icon where I could along with the weird red tint.
That's all I remember from the top of my head.

If people wanted changes, I'd make them and support this more

I'm just curious (for future refference), if you come up with any ideas, do you plan on adding to it, or is this just a 1 to 1 port?

Русский не мой родной язык, извините. Я пытался добавить патч для CE, когда раньше с ним играл, но больше с CE не играю. Патч работает только при загрузке CE, если он загружен из Steam. Если это не так, то это не сработает. Я мог бы попытаться изучить это, когда у меня будет время, но я не слишком хорошо разбираюсь в CE. Так что я не думаю, что версия 1.5 решит эту проблему на данный момент.

Играю на версии Rimworld 1.4. До этого играл на версии 1.2 и с этими дроидами и "CE" было все хорошо. В 1.4 же - броня уничтожителя 40 + 1.32, что иногда пробивается картечью из дробовика с бронепробитием 4, а щит совсем не ловит пули, кроме эми, от которых отключается и снова включается, при этом пропустив весь урон в самого дроида. Исправится это, если я перейду на версию 1.5, или это дело в самом "CE"? Он скачан у меня с гитхаба

Yeah, it should be safe unless the 1.4 files were removed from the mods, which I don't think they were

dependent on 1.4 sorry

hey, rimpy throws an error saying that this mod is dependent on the 1.5 versions of androids and androids expended. im safe to use 1.5 right

Ok, updated with a fix

Subscribe to Character editor, go to the skin section and just put all the sliders from the left to the right and they'll become visible again

Ok, I'll look into it later today. It's past 01h30 here Q_Q

they seem to be invisible

I started a game with some Archdroids in kits. On assembling them, they work normally, but have no model. They're invisible save for their equipment(if any).

Updated to 1.5. If there are bugs, let me know and I'll look into it

Currently when a droid pawn is spawned, via the printer or kit, they spawn normally until the save is loaded again. Then they spawn with hair. Use a styling station to remove the hair

Yep, I'll look into it tomorrow when I'm free

Any plans on updating this to 1.5 soon?

It was the only way I could think of balance-wise. If anyone else thinks it's too expensive, I'll make changes, if you don't want to edit the xml files yourselves.

its a text file u can just edit the recipe values

i think the droids cost too much if the archotech garbage mod is active

It should be safe. Removing though might be an issue

Ay is this safe to add mid game? Or at least wont corrupt a save file?

Changes made, thanks @ImperialRex

That's pretty interesting. Thanks for finding those. I'll see what I can do to fix those errors.

Furthermore, if by any chance you really want to use this mod but without Royalty DLC, edit this file:

---

---

\Your\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\294100\2560554690\Defs\AlienRace_ArchoDroids.xml

---

---

And make sure you delete or comment the lines containing <Apparel_PackJump> and <Apparel_PackBroadshield>. When I'm writing this post, they are on row 394 and 395 of the file.

FYI this mod would cause issue in vanilla since it would call <Apparel_PackJump> and <Apparel_PackBroadshield>, since both are only from Royalty DLC. If you don't like the error message on starting up the game (like me), either play this mod with Royalty DLC enabled or play without Royalty and this mod.

Yep. Added in support for it for the sake of balance. If the costs are too much, let me know and I'll adjust them.

Appereantly I didnt know that the archodroid mod used archotech fragments with the more archotech garbage mod

No problem, enjoy :D
Generally modders will list what their mod requires via steam instead of RimPy anyway
I've tried fixing the error but I'm guessing it's a caching error on their side or something

Okay, thanks! Seems to run fine without the original Androids it's pointing at (which seems to be the 1.3 version) so i guess it's just RimPy being dumb, yeah!

Since I can't edit comments, it does require Androids for 1.4 because that's what the mod is made off of, but Androids Expanded can be optional

Nope, RimPy is full of shit. Same thing happens to the mod "WVC - Xenotypes & Genes"
I'd basically need to delete this mod from Steam and reupload it for RimPy to stop being stupid
Basically, before, the archotech droid and destroyer just relied on research that was for the advanced droids. So when Androids Expanded isn't loaded (for whatever reason) the research just relies on the normal research from Androids

RImPY seems to think this relies on Androids and Androids Expanded, but I have the actually listed mods subscribed and activated. Did I miss something along the way?

@Bombshell
I did have a look at it and it looks like it solely patches shield belts.
The code I use is from Biotech, mostly the shield from the Centurion if I remember correctly, which means it's not a shield belt but more like a moving shield dome.
I have no experience with C# coding and it's beyond my capabilities sadly Q_Q

@BOMBSHELL
No problem XD

@Get Donked On
Sure, I'll have a look at it when I have time over the weekend (flex.emoji)

@Coldzero
that worked! thanks!

owlchemist has that toggleable shield belts mod could try adding it if that mod is active not sure how well that works for internal shields tho

@BOMBSHELL
I don't know how to code that sadly but if you don't want it, just go into the the patches folder and either delete the Biotech xml file or remove the extension so it becomes in active
Sorry about that Q_Q

any chance that a toggle for the Destroyer's shield could be added? with run n gun and other combat situations, they tend to shoot up each other's shields more frequently than the enemy.

@ProfileName
Good to hear. Hopefully the db update will sort things out then.
I have checked on my side to see if there was a way to push an update to the db via RimPy but doesn't look like there's an option.. or I didn't look properly
Never ran into issues like this before when using the in game mod manager or the other one by Fluffy I think
Though at the same time, I don't upload then remove the local file and subscribe to my own mods to see if things are working right XD
If the db update doesn't work, I'll probably need to talk to the RimPy devs to find out how to solve it

But I mean, they did say at some point "update in a week," on their database, so I think we're getting something soon.
