This may alleviate the issue of suddenly getting an influx of a ton of powerful recruits all at once.

Change the current dialogue addition to switch from the aggressive to a passive behaviour. This will effectively keep them in their current state, but will no longer attack anything.

Add a new dialogue that consumes a skeleton repair kit to recruit them. This will also reset the skeleton stats to a "factory setting" since the initial stats are randomized (see the wiki for details).

"Factory setting" will be the minimum values mentioned in the wiki:

17.5 - Assassin. 15 - Str, Tough, Dex. all weapon skills, Althetics, Swimming, Melee Att and Def, Turrets, Precision Shooting. 12 - Medic. 1 - Science, Crossbow Smith, Labour, Farm, Cook. 0 - Perception, Stealth, Lockpick, Thief, Dodge, Mart Art, Crossbow, Engineer, Robotics, Weapon Smith, Armor Smith

I would like to see the dialogue require a certain level of robotics and a skeleton repair kit to order them to "stay" so they don't all get killed trying to defend you, then require a higher level of robotics and some dungeon loot to fix them (maybe use some of the otherwise useless items".

@vitor It should be safe anywhere.

Great mod, do you have any recommendation where it should be placed in the mod load order?

Thanks, and i used this mod and it works for genesis too, also IMMERSIVE WARNING needs to be this mods motto
but hey there i cant find a mod that gives them unique green armor or whatever that makes them feel like your faction has armor or at least the forgotten blueprints of green colored armor with the same stats as samurai armor
sorry its my request sorry for heckling you

in summary;
this is a great immersive mod no issues as of yet.
(as for the second half of my comment, it's for the author or other modders)

This is what I am looking for!!!!! awesome bro

Excellent. Add me so I can list you as a contributor.

@anomalY Absolutely!

I'm making a new patch for Genesis that includes this mod's special dialogue package - Can I have your permission to do this?

@Acidity. Hi dude. It was an issue with 'Kaizo - Recruitable Prisoners Patch'. You can remove that mod from your subscriptions or way till the author get's around fixing the issues with their mod.

Hello! Im doing a Skeleton Play through and was excited to try this mod, but after 10 attempts of opening the door to the workshop they just run up and down the stairs constantly and no dialog or anything, is there a special item or condition im supposed to meet? Thank you for the mod!

This mod is great, but the way they are named adds some issues. Even after renaming them, they show up as weird names in the FCS. Doesn't appear to break the game, But it was buggy when trying to save a bod template and I noticed the name thing when poking around in the FCS

the mod works flawlessly, now i have 5 groups of 5 soldierbots each guarding 5 towers to the eternity with 3 extra as running scouts

This mod doesn't seem to work on my end, even after an import. Not sure why, but there is no option to recruit the error skeletons in my game. Can't confirm if there is a mod conflict or if this mod simply isn't working.

actually how do you even put a command in this game?

managed to recruit them but the buffs did not work, is there a command to reapply the mod buffs or something?

@satonaro Have you figured out why you can't repair them?

First I created a start with 20 skeletons for the convenience of developing and testing other mods.
Now I increased it for myself in fcs from 20 to 50.
In the process of working on the mod, they turned out to be not enough for me.
Then I downloaded this mod. ))))))))))))
Not the fastest way, but fun.

Just found them and recruited them. However I noticed I can't repair them o.O anyone else?

I love this mod, it is one of the must-haves in my gameplay,

Are you able to replace their limbs whenever they come off?

Do these guys still communicate just "Error"? Or have you given them the regular/skeleton dialogue package?

Thanks for this, I wanted a quick start-up all skeleton game and this helped a lot. I've got them running my fortress and manning turrets.

Tip for users, maybe untick or unsubscribe this once you've recruited all the soldierbots you wanted. I visited black desert city after an import and the soldierbots were razing it to the ground. Don't forget to leave a like or award!

Just for those in my position and curious how this would work--

I added this in after having already discovered them. I didn't see anyone saying how this mod interacts when this is the case, but my experience was that they became recruitable and the one I looked at has stats (more or less) in the 20s: https://i.imgur.com/58Ujdnl.png

edit: their stats do seem to vary across the board. Some are in the 20s, others are in the 50s-60s. I'm assuming this is how in the vanilla game as well, but I haven't checked

you buffed them too much i think, still very good mod

I've been trying to use them, but the mod doesn't work anymore. I can't interact to the error code skeletons at all.... Has anyone else had this problem and know how to solve it?

I made a game start mod that has you starting at the lab. I included a link to this mod in the description, but I can remove that if you would prefer.

Well this looks helpful. Is it possible to have them keep their original stats? Lore wise I see the skeletons as having inconsistent skills as being in keeping with the idea that they're halfway through being reprogrammed or disposed of, and may have been dumped there from a variety of former occupations in the first or second empire. Ideally the original game would have let you reprogram them properly if you had a high enough science skill (which really needs to be more useful).

the easy way to have lots of bot to serve you

Is there any reason as to why they can't use turrets?

every time I try to equip armor to the skeletons after recruiting them the armor gets dyed to the dark green of their initial rags, It only happens with armor that can be dyed (of course) but it is still rather annoying, is there any way to fix that or do I just have to deal with it?

@Varsocona Thanks! When I found them, I thought it was hilarious that you temporarily had a group of robots following you, but I got sick of their random murderkilling of anything that wasn't me. So I figured I'd add a (as plausible as possible) method to recruit them, or leave them set to "murderhobo" if you so desired.

@ZombiePotatoSalad Thank you for the quick reply!! I grabbed the Skeletons and they work perfectly. Wonderful mod!

@Varsocona Nope, just plug and play.

Does this mod require an Import to function?

Good point.

I don't think I touched their attack and defense. This is offset by their requiring of Robotics to be repaired, as well as expensive Skeleton Repair kits. They'd take a long time to repair unless you have someone dedicated to Robotics with a large supply of SRCs, by which time you might have a few characters in the 60s attack range. This is further offset by every one of them being individually recruitable, or you can leave them in their default "bodyguard" mode, which they will run off and attempt to murderkill anything that moves. So you can just take 2 or 3, and have the rest follow you around until they are destroyed.

When I found them they were 60 attack and higher, and there is like 30 of them.

IAmCalledJay Well, they aren't much stronger than the normal Soldierbots.

This feels kinda broken. I wanted to recruit them, but not have them strong AF.

Might there be any way to add more head variants to the soldierbot race so I can give them a head besides the loghead at the plastic surgeon?

Does this work if I have already found them? I just found them and have been searching the internet for what to do with them.

@mr.cleveland2161 In the Black Desert, there's a Reprogramming Lab.

Where do i find them???

Am I the only one seeing the skeletons reset and end up with skills in the negatives?

To answer several questions I've seen, to get them buffed, you must make the command == to before they are recruited and after. Otherwise it resets them back to their base stats. Also, To make them a playable race go into the FCS and locate their character name in the file and on the right hand side add the start you would like making them a playable faction however. you will be messing with base game script. Be careful there. (What mod were you running that removed the re-programming lab @ATranquil)

It's no problem at all. It's best to cover all variables :)

i had another mod that had apparently removed them sorry for wasting your time

Have you tried validating files? This mod doesn't affect the lab. It simply adds a dialogue option to the Skeletons themselves
