Artificial Beings Framework?

Awakened androids that join your colony via the anomaly event "creeperjoin" cannot have their reactors replaced; a fix i found is via the CharacterEditor mod where you can basically change its "race" from an anomaly human to a awakened android human.

If an awakened android is in a relationship and uses an android stand, it will treat the stand as a secondary bed for the android. This causes both the android and their partner to permanently have the "sleeping alone" debuff until the android spot is either deconstructed or manually unassigned

Is this an oversight or is it just an unavoidable quirk of how the android spots function?

Anyone else having problems with recreation? I have built a ton of things and my awakened androids refuse to use them unless I lock the door and trap them. I even set the to only have recreation time and they still only work. Whats the point of having a joy requirement if they wont do it?

Cool, I guess the reason they have all the artificial parts is they can't install regular human organs, but can install manufactured ones

Bionics can be installed on Androids just as normally as with organic species

Hey folks, just wanted to confirm if this was as designed and not a mod conflict, but I can replace android parts with bionics (using EPOE forked). Not complaining to be honest, just wanted to be sure I wasn't breaking the balance there.

Why does this mod have garbled names when used with some other robot mods?

@TaikaJamppa

Got to arrest them first and then you can force reprogram them.

Is there any way to modify Awakened Androids? Even dev mode doesn't allow reprogramming them with the behaviorist station... I want my second android to become a mechanitor too...

@Champion of Super Earth tysm

@estrogenesys you have to go to the machining table and find "Shred Android" tab for android corpses

ive got a dead android torso who was a raider, but can't seem to do anything with it. "Butcher Creature" says "no corpses found"

If android repair could skip repairing intentional scars inflicted from Scarification rituals that would be cool.

Why reactor cannot be replaced directly? I'm forced to replace old reactor with stomach replacement and then install new reactor.

By the way, why not to add vanometric reactor (made from vanometric cell) and it's unstable version (made from mechanoids unstable cells) which works forever

For some reason I can't actually install components on them, which has made replacing reactors once they run out impossible.

I just remembered that you can 'inject' neutro into wounded androids which got me thinking, should we not be able to drain them also then?

Is there a way to reset awakened androids? While I understand the appeal, I am playing on a colony with 3 basic androids and wish to keep it that way, then I received an android with an event that is pre-awakened, is there a way or operation to force them back into the reprogramming table and reset them somehow? Or do i have to handle it via the God Mode commands?

Are these 'androids' immune to the effects of radiation in Rimatomic? After all, they still have 'genes' and are not real robots.

Hey i'm playing with the Vanilla Outposts mod. Are the Androids suppose to lose power while on outposts? It feels kind of annoying to just have to bring them back to the main colony so i have to swap out their reactors

If its global work speed then i suggest increase in manipulation like bionic limbs

I haven't been able to notice any difference between a level 8 crafter and a level 20 crafter repairing them though, but the global was fairly close between the two so that's why I was thinking it's maybe that

My guess is Crafting since thats whats required to repair androids

What stat improves the repair speed on damaged androids? Or is it just Global Work Speed, and nothing specific?

Sure there is, sure there is

Constant memory leak lol.

bruh how does an android even get dementia

'Translation data for English language has 2 errors.' what does this mean in debug log? It is this mod that is causing it, I've added and removed to double check. I can't find anything on google

can they have babies? my androids stats are not visible so I cannot check the fertility, probably amod conflict impacting the stats visibility

@CullingCommando

That's right, an ultratech android mod is indeed a mod for the late game, but I still found it very cool when an android joined by tribal colony, helped around tremendously with research until their battery gave up, and then I carried on their legacy all the way to Androidtech, which allowed me to craft them a new reactor and bring them back to life.

@The Captain 64 The research Androidtech unlocks the part workbench.

I found an android skeleton by the anomaly building. I'm a tribal rn but if I stick him away somewhere is it possible to revive him later on?

Am I blind or is there no option to research the android parts workbench?

@кам

Im having the exact same problem, can only replace fingers. FYI i have no UI updates

Wanted to like this mod. Just to keep them alive is a pain, especially early on; as they bleed a very expensive resource. Noticed that all the androids that would join my colony had skills set to zero; not sure if this was intended or not. Their reactors only last for 2 years, and I couldn't find a place to buy them anywhere; so if you can't build it, you essentially have a placeholder for a colonist. I do feel that they should be able to recharge at a wall station or at the very least have a longer lifespan than two years. So in conclusion this mod would be for late game play; because they are stupid expensive to keep and maintain. This next part isn't the mods fault, but... I always felt that someone should do something with the growth vats; there are robot mods, cloning mods, surrogate mother mods... but there isn't an all in one package. Just a thought.

For some reason, all androids that join my colony (manly from Quests) have all skills set to 0.

@кам

In that case are you running any UI mods related to the health and / or operations interface? Those might interfere by overriding UI behavior.

Consider disabling those mods and try again.

I personally use dubs mint menus for menus, if you have it enabled, consider disabling it and check again, if you don't have it, consider enabling it and see if the operation shows up in the list that way. Sometimes this mod saves me and other times it breaks something lol.

@the blind one I have already made the pelvis. Still the option doesn’t show up.

This might be a silly question, but is there a way to paint my new androids? Like changing their "skin color" somehow?

@кам

You can make an artificial pelvis at the android part workbench then install it like a normal surgery on a pawn using the health tab. But you need to have the part made first before the option to replace it even shows up if I remember correctly. So make the part first then check the pawn's health tab and select the operation.

Why can’t i replace the pelvis of my damaged awakened android? Is it just the legs and arms that you can replace?

@Schmeeda I just checked for you, it should still be there for you too, it's called 'New Utopia'.

was the android utopia start removed? I don't see it anymore in the new game menu. Wondering if It's just an issue on my end or not.

Interestingly enough, I used VOID's Character Editor to save and clone both Androids while they had low power and needed a reactor replacement. When I accessed the clones' Operations bills, both of them the option to replace the reactor as expected. In dev (God) mode, however, both clones were missing the options to trigger the creepjoiner events that the originals had.

Based upon those tests, I'm guessing there's an odd interaction between Androids and the creepjoiner "tag/flag" that a pawn gets when they're generated by a creepjoiner event (and that if one uses Character Editor, it doesn't copy over the creepjoiner status onto the cloned pawn).

Unfortunately I don't know enough about how the pawns are coded to surmise if that creepjoiner status can be removed - but, for those who want a workaround with the reactor issue on creepjoiner Androids, cloning them via Character Editor is a way to do it.

In terms of the reactor replacement issue on androids, the specific case where it's not appearing on my pawns' Operations bill is on Androids that joined via Anomaly creepjoiner events.

The two creepjoiner events I had, they both spawned in as Androids and that's where I'm running into issue. Just tested it with a non-creepjoiner Android, and the option to replace the reactor on their Operation bill appeared as expected.

I ran into a slight bug with one of my androids. I activated an anomaly obelisk to duplicate one of my androids and it spawned a hostile copy which immediately collapsed. The new copy spawned with 0 power despite the original colonist having a good reactor, and even as a prisoner it never gave me the popup for a reactor running low.

Popping the the old reactor out and putting a new one in fixed it but the removed reactor wasn't actually burned out, just buggy.

Is there a way to undo the awakening of the Androids? Like a forced reset of their software?

Toxic gas affects androids. Is this a bug?

something i just noticed, you cant install a mechlink in an android because it still counts as psy stuff. had to dev mode out the pyschically deaf. if you start as awakened androids without the android research done you cant progress unless you have a non android or dev mode it it seems.

I am curious about the same thing @Rosethorns is. Right now a bionicially upgraded pawn is superior to androids (faster, better, harder, stronger), which seems kind of weird and backwards. It would be nice if androids could be at least on par with bionics via upgrades.
