Short answer: Killathon doesn't want to, and I don't know how.

Long answer: The issue doesn't lie with the justification in-game, but with a fundamental bug in the game engine that causes anything from save corruption to crashes due to desyncs from relationships.

Anyone is free to take up the mantle of this mod, just credit us for our work (and the 3rd-party art assets).

If this isn't updatable then why not a robot version of how altered carbon does things instead of
the skymind stuff, like cores that can be extracted and swapped between robot bodies or ways to convert human brains into cybernetic ones to implant in a robot instead? Shoot, altered carbon has needlecasting now so remote control is also possible in such a system I guess. No clue how it was done though.

Or alternatively a altered carbon compat addon for ABF. Probably simpler to make and would give players access to something somewhat similar to skymind without having to fix this if they use altered carbon too.

Very sad to see Skymind left behind. Well maybe in the future

@Maulmere: As per my prior comments: No. SkyMind contains unfixable bugs and has therefore not been ported alongside the rest of the mod(s).

Is Skymind available in ABF, or is this just fucked?
I hope it's still available. It was super cool.

I feel so sad, upload the consciousness is the best idea I've see, I always waiting your back >. <

@Hof4ik: TL;DR: We found unfixable bugs and our lead developer refuses to ship an unfinished/broken product.

почему не сделают на 1.5?

thanks for the reply & info <3
i have hope it will be fix someday, or find a workaround.

love the work your team has done, i love the AT mod to the point i find it hard to enjoy a game without it, so thanks again <3

@Rainoa:
1. I've wondered that too, but it's baked into the duplicate function which handles everything from surrogates to mind duplication, to core upload. The bug is fundamental to the game and has even happened with the obelisk from Anomaly in 1.5. This would most likely need to be fixed in the game engine.

2. If the minds are linked, every change you make to one will also happen to the other. It's bi-directional.

3. Just stay on 1.4 until this is fixed - That's what I do :]

shame the whole mod is on pause due to the surrogates bug & not just temp disable that aspect of it and allow copy/dupe/overwrite of minds or something.

also its been so long could we active edit the skills of a active linked pawn? or only the mind that was copy into the skymind? i think it was the first one near the end days at lest.

RIP SkyMind will miss you till the day you return to us <3

The mod is still working in 1.4, you simply have to roll back to your game version, but yeah, it's a nasty bug.

I'll miss my hivemind borg colony playthroughs.

Thank the whole team for all of the work and joy it's brought me and others though.

@Sweepy: T1 are drones in 1.4. They cannot learn and don't have a personality. If you want to be able to connect them, go to the settings, and move them from the drones category and into the sentient category. (Then restart).

This will give them the same mood system as humans. (They still don't care about being naked tho)

Can't upgrade a skill for T1 Android.

When i'm choosing him, i do not have a button to connect him to SkyMind. What do i need to do???

Same, which is why I joined the team, but until someone figures out the relationship bug with surrogates (See our discord for details), Killathon has refused to work on it and neither I nor anyone else on the team has the necessary skills to do it.

i agree with nebby0tt

This is such a shame, I loved this and the Android mod, to the point where i would download Rimworld just to play with them and have a field day with one of the coolest mods around. Sad to see it won't be updated anymore

What Alu said.

The M8 was axed, because there is no way to passively check whether a pawn is still alive thus requiring constant performance-heavy checks.

I'm sorry to confirm what the others have said. SMN is not getting updated to 1.5 in the foreseeable future, however, someone has announced that they will eventually try to fix the relationship bug, allowing us to take it back up.

Until then, try Altered Carbon . We are not affiliated with them, but it's the closest you can get atm.

an issue born from 2 pawns sharing the same relationship tracker
it causes the save to corrupt under certain circumstances

out of curiosity,
was it an entirely new issue,
or related to the problems that lead to the M6 mobile skycore not being ported from the original AT?

1.6 when, killathon?

They've encountered a huge flaw in the code of this mod.
It's dead, and not coming to 1.5, unless someone wants to redevelop it.

F SkyMind Network 1.5

Is the whole "internal temperature takes time to adjust" mechanic gonna stick around or be toggleable? Cause I'll be honest, that's kind of a make or break deal for me if a single power outage can wipe away all the work it takes to make s server-room. Even just saving the one I mentioned previously with a moderately rested repairman proved difficult.

Definitely looking forward to this one! Skymind was my favorite feature of Androids++, so seeing it as a standalone is super exciting <3 Best of luck with the bug squashing!

thank you for your work!!!

We have encountered a game-breaking bug in this mod, which made the update progress stall. We're still working on it, but it'll likely take quite a while longer.

Well, or write in the description of the SHTO specifically

please do it already shtonibut with the server everything is already on fire

waiting with much hope this mod, its seems very fun(and care) to play

@can375: Working on it.

1.5 update?

@Peeper: MH:DR adds a customisation screen for drones that allows you to allocate their skills better for the role you intend them to do. I.e. Mining drones don't need cooking skills for example, so they can use their processing power for better mining.

That is more complicated, yes, and we haven't tested it for balance a whole lot yet, but we always have an open ear for improvements.

If you open the settings for MH:Core, you'll see three categories: Organic, sentient mechanical, and drones. By default, T1 are drones, but you can move them to the sentient mechanical category to have them behave the same as T2+, so they can use the skill servers. (Requires a game restart.)

@FG_Remastered, is MH:Drones Reporgrammed supports this feature and is it ballanced in any point? I find it more complicated and that makes drones less efficient (you get more without need to programm them not using this mod). And can I make drones learn only when i'm using skymind? I've tried to find it in options, but i couldn't. Btw what do you mean by making them sentient? Do i need to make drones sentient somehow via options? If yes, please tell me how.

@Peeper: Drones cannot learn. That's a fundamental part of what they are. If you want more complex drones, use higher Tiers, MH: Drones Reprogrammed or just make them sentient in the settings.

why drones aren't able to get xp? I think it could be useful as fuck. Could you please make it an toggleable option?

its more simple than that
hes focused on the main mod

i have gone down a rabbit hole and what i think the reason is for not updating is because a lot rely on each other to work

oh dear lord, i hope you got some fire foam nearby/

@catmanmlio: Yes, but no ETA yet. Code is on fire.

1.5 update planned?

How much time? Because my repairman collapsed from exhaustion after repairing it so much it would've exploded three times over without him there, the entire time of which it was in a 70 degree (Fahrenheit) room. Kinda killed my momentum of the whole run tbh

@FailPail: Servers have an internal temperature that takes time to adjust to the room's temperature. That is intentional, albeit poorly explained. (Blame Killa - his idea.)

https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/4c9dff2fc2322d9ca08262eee1181807

same issue as abbit and victator. everythign was fine till the temperature dropped for a bit but the networked inteligence kept taking damage at 21C. none of the other analysts or databases were taking damage even though they were in the same room. unstalling did not help it.

any
its a vanilla quest reward
it just shows up

This doesn’t really answer the question. how do i get the power cells, like what quest n shit?

ah thanks then sorry if it was dumb i never got any quests that gave them so i din't know

That's a vanilla quest reward
Legit just Uninstall the cells from wherever you find them

quick question how do i get minified vanumetric powercells? its not showing up on my tech tab nor on any of my benches is it a quest reward?
if so how rare becuse i have never gote any yet
