as the author i fully endorse someone else taking it off my hands. I'd be happy to see it grow but it is simply beyond my abilities.

@Zastaver any response? I really like the mod and would love if it was updated or at least donated to somebody that can update it.

i have made a patch for genesis animations https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2765200810 and i might be able to make more changes as well

i wonder is there anyone still working on this or the other version of this mod?

great mod, would be good if there was an path for Genesis new combat animations.

The Holy Nation will leave your doll(s) alone if they are being carried by human(s).
"Don't mind me, I'm just taking this vile mechanical to the garbage dump, hail Okran!"

Damn. Oh well, I'll just have to murder them.

The Holy Nation will know right away.

Serious question, been a while since I played and I was gonna jump in with a Doll character... will the Holy Empire know that they are a robot right away or will you be able to move through the Empire?

There are no recruits of the Abnormal Doll race. All the ones running around are hostile.
However, my mod posted below lets Doll player characters create any other type of Doll, including Abnormal Dolls.

I had a few questions about this:

1. Does donating to the independent doll fighters do anything? I didn't notice any relationship change, but that could be some kind of conflict
2. Is there any way to recruit Abnormal Dolls? I feel like i've only ever seen them in the hostile faction.

Also plugging that I made an AOM patch for the Dolls c: : https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1630760930

Thanks so much!

I hope you don't mind my posting this here, but my Doll Duplication mod is finished:
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2217931412

It's separate from my previous Insemination mod. It allows current doll characters to introduce new doll characters, of all types into the world.

Hopefully I'm not bothering ya but I was wondering if abnormal dolls are recruitable? Thanks in advance!

Thanks Squamousness!

I have no issues with anyone making compatibility patches for my mods

Additional: It looks like the armors can not currently be crafted.

Child of Death: It looks like you'll find wandering traders and camps in the Ashlands where you can buy the gear from Technicians. They'll probably be in the group of dolls that aren't trying to kill you...

I have received a request to allow Dolls to reproduce via my Insemination mod. I was wondering if it would be ok to release a mod that would allow that.
My mod: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2152464377
Example of how it was achieved with the Juggernauts: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2152464377

We're thinking that a Doll of a certain model could get "scanned" by the Institute's techs, and they would produce 1-4 Dolls of that variant in exchange. I'm personally thinking of keeping things quite vague: The character gets scanned, told to return later, and then some Dolls appear calling the character mother/father. Let me know if there is any objection or advice.

Ummm, Quick question are the new armors reseachable or do I need to Knock out dolls to Get that gear? I'm basicly Traveling every where I think they might sell it >_< I'm not having Luck. Love the mods though.

I've been to busy with IRL to do much but you're welcome to add that sort of support stuff if you like

Any plans to add More Combat Animations support? - Really enjoying the mod ;D
If not, I'll see what I can do about it eventually - and link it to you or w/e

Oh wait I see the problem, I'll look into it. It might be an issue on my end but I'm not sure.

There should be fewer starts in this version as its a streamlined version of the previous mod

I only count 2 new starts. Could I have conflicting mods, or am I just blind?

@Drowearl
They do not, idk why, I can't really fix it

@Flesh Forge
I'm aware of the text problem but fixing it will be a huge pain in the ass, mistakes were made.

It's a singleplayer game, if you feel exploiting a glitch ruins the experience, just don't. Nothing forces you to.

The skin color thing is a good idea, I'll take it under consideration.

Dolls are more common than skeletons, but weaker, they're meant to be a more common type of android that is inferior to skeletons.

I put the recruitable characters there for purposes of roleplaying. You can just decide when it is appropriate to recruit them based on the story you are trying to play out.

The high level starts are intended to be identical to roaming squads of the same faction you start as. The idea is you start as a member of that faction with the same skills and abilities the NPCs have and jump right into the action.

Dolls have muscle?

Another small bit of feedback, a lot of the chat text is not consistently formatted with how the rest of the game's chats are, a lot of yours has double quotes around it while none of the vanilla text does.

oh related to the camps filled with dolls: since they're all willing to barter, willing to be recruited, that appears to be pretty exploitable - sell them gear and clean out their money, recruit them, get the gear back for free plus whatever they already had

none of this is going to stop me using this mod but I do suggest you curb some of that stuff as you continue to maintain this. thanks!

I like this mod quite a bit, I have a couple of suggestions though:
- more color range in skin tone, maybe the baseline models all might be within a narrow range but the other variants don't really have any reason to be limited in skin color
- the big camps filled with recruitable dolls feels really out of whack with the rest of the game, basically whenever you feel like growing your squad size you can hire as many as you want. I don't mind this a whole lot from a gameplay perspective but if they're supposed to have a similar origin to skeletons, they should be similarly rare as recruitable characters.
- they start with way too much high value gear, I hired a couple of recruits and they were carrying more than enough value of loot to make a profit from hiring them and just selling their stuff and kicking them out.
- starting skills in the 40s and up is very excessive and again out of whack with practically all of the vanilla recruitables

Ok, I'll do that in the future.

If you have time to do so you should update this mod page with more information regarding what factions are added, any unique recruits? Perhaps a couple more pictures of the added content and how the doll settlement and villain faction affect the world with mods like reactive world. Def still going to give it a try however would be nice for those that are hesitant.

I'll look into that as well.

The option is there when you speak to them, just nothing happens afterwards.Only easy-ish way to get quality synth skins would be to recruit them. Unless, a special doll equipment vendor was added to a certain city that is known for its special equipment. ~.^

Hmm. Let me check. You ought to be able to pay the tribes to like you, or something. That should have stayed in.

Is it possible to "race my relations with the tribes" in the lite version? Trying to recruit the fighters and marksmen but paying them does nothing that i can see other than taking my money. I did get the alliance with the Ashland rangers but it didnt have any affect on the wanderer faction. Only been to the Deadlands and Ashlands so far, so maybe I missed another faction some where?

@Squamousness bummer

@Doctorhealsgood Artist wasn't able to finish it. I am once again at square 0. That's the way the cookie crumbles I guess.

@Savageocelot it would be easy to make a patch, I'd recommend learning yourself or asking the guy who made the hairstyle mods.

Is there any way to get this to work with modded hairstyles?

What happened with the body model thing at the end?

Been a big fan of the original Doll Race mod for quite some time, looking forward to giving this one a try.

Oh, darn. I'm not sure how to fix that. I only know how to work the FCS, not animations and such. You'll have to ask the guy who made that mod for a patch, he's more likely to know how to fix the problem than I am.

they bug out with combat animation mod

Someone linked me a website called https://picrew.me/ that lets you make profile pictures and through chance I stumbled onto that. The website is in japanese but its fairly easy to navigate even though I don't understand a word of it.

quick question not really related to the mod but where did you find that picture i really like it

That is intended. While they are not Skeletons, they are still machines and the HN hates them for that. One of their books talks about how skeletons will disguise themselves as humans to infiltrate their settlements. In vanilla this is nonsense, but this mod makes their ravings a bit more logical. either way, they and dolls don't get along.

Thank you for the reply, i finally found some dolls. But the problem is they were considered as "skeleton" and always attacked by the holy nations, is there any way i can stop this?

You ought to be able to find groups of hireable dolls in the United Cities bars. If other mods add a ton of people who hang out in bars, the odds of finding them will be lowered.

Is there anywhere i can hire some dolls? I walked many city and found nothing. Do i need to go for a doll town so i can hire them?

The doll ranger furniture is actually a leftover from older times when you couldn't craft tents, I'll fix that. As for crafting armor, I never thought to make it craftable. i'll probably throw that in. Alternately, you could just download the original External Muscle Suit, if that's the armor, you mean, and then you can craft it there.
