Yeah, briefly after I posted that I discovered the one I linked was throwing errors...

Ah, roger.
Kinda sad to see a Rimrim go though Q_Q. Enjoy your retirement sensei

@Coldzero you can upload your version
sorry cant update any of my mods as I have abandoned rimworld

hopefully this gets updated soon

@Soraya This was before 1.3. The change from 1.1 to 1.2 had code changed and the change from 1.2 to 1.3 had more code changed.

Seti's current version has 1.1 code for nullifying a certain mood.

So I don't know how to get in contact with Seti to ask for permission to upload the updated version apart from waiting for them to reply here :D I also found I need to add support for Ideology because tattoos don't belong on robots even though that sounds badass.

There's a 1.3 update for Androids Expanded already. https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2559677674

Did my own tests and code needed changing. So.. it will technically work but will throw more errors because of certain things changing, like hair settings and initial resistance to pawn kinds.

@Jointa They can't because the backstory stops them. Pulled my hair out figuring that out when I was changing it for myself XD if you use something like Character Editor, you can edit the backstory to something that permits researching at least. Talking is also locked behind code from the alien races settings.

@Paolini As far as I know, it didn't work because Androids Expanded wasn't updated and threw errors. I worked on an update for personal use but I'll check with Seti if I can upload it.. somehow. I don't talk to people often on Steam :D

Did anytone test this with 1.3 ?

Thanks for this mod, but is there any chance we might get custom sprites for them? I understand that's a tall order, but right now the recycled mechanoid models just don't work properly with most clothing options. Those spikes everywhere totally ruin the look, and the ArchDroid looks as if it has stubby arms peeking out of the top of its shoulders like one of those poor Contergan victims, which is creepy beyond all reason.

Also is there a reason the Archdroids can't research or talk?

Can you maybe increase the size of the Droids? It looks silly having the regular droids next to the archdroid who is like a third of their size. Even worse if they wear clothes/armour.

when the droids butcher humanlike corpses a red error appears. It says the "NKnownSalvageRobotCorpse" is not a thought.

A fixed version of Androids Expanded was released that does start with red errors, but this mod still does. https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2379962272

Looking at the stats, the Destroyer has a body size of 3. I don't think that should be the way it is as a muffalo is a size 2.10 and a thrumbo is size 4 which cover multiple cells while the image for the destroyer is human sized.

@Bodyless
Thanks!

@Daunmi
The included patch for SoS is broken. see previous page, the post by Decay Tempest has more details

Not sure if you care about this, but these droids have some breathing issues when using the Save Our Ships mod, and there's no way to stop that for Destroyers since they can't wear anything.

I like this mod, but I was wondering if you would make the Archdroids more "Social". I just need hungerless waitrers for my Gastronomy restaurant.

Yea it's probably some mod that changes that

I'm guessing it's probably Static Quality Plus, simply because that's the only thing I have that changes skills/learning in any way (at least as far as I know).

@Daunmi its not supposed to happen, the code I used is just from the androids mod, so its probably some incomp between androids and something else

Are the Archdroids supposed to level up skills as they use them? Because mine are.

It only seems to be happening for Shooting and Construction skills though.

could you send a link my man? or cat?

Okay I have uploaded a fixed version

Thank you

@thakyZ Im okay with you uploading a working version, since im not doing mods anymore for any game in general, so go ahead

@Varulv16 if you look at Decay Tempest's post it can fix some of it, but I will post a github link to a version of this (with link back to this page) of a working version, because I don't know if this author doesn't want me to upload a working version to the workshop

im getting a hell of alot of red text from this mod anybody know why?

Decay Tempest's Fix does work, it also makes it so the mod can correctly load all of it's components

are we gonna get a fix for the red error? other than that great mod overall

are they meant to come out looking like power rangers? I'd rather keep them one solid color.

For people getting the SOS error, the patch line is missing it's closing ]..

An easy fix, just go to your mod folder, and the patches sub folder to open up the Patch_SOS2 xml, and add it. So you get this -

<xpath>/Defs/AlienRace.ThingDef_AlienRace[defName="ChjArchDroid" or defName="ChjArchBattleDroid"]</xpath

@Paolini I got a same error.

Aint that just the goliath

i get a red error which says something about "Archotech Droids could not find patch.." and at the end it says "Save our ship 2" (i use it )

I'm looking for a mod that would implement some "sentinel" android, i could choose their weapon and they would be human sized, anyone know something like that ?

Absolutely great mod , paired with a few other mods to create a walking cyber god, with necris 40k charge blaster thing .... Melts anything .... i think even funnier was that the droid name was odin ( peace to the realm type thing) , forgetting to swap him off hunt blasting away some poor defenceless racoon with green lasers

I found a Destroyer Assembly Kit in a pristine ruin and now I am trying to figure out what weapon to put on my death machine, sure it handled the tribal raid by itself just fine since nothing was able to scratch or dent it, but I need to give my walking tank a weapon to make it truly a killing machine of pure metal

Love the upgrades

@MerlinCheater that error isnt affecting anything
@ParadoxMystery it has to do with hair mods, specifically vanilla hair expended if I remember correctly

Found a bug of sort, the Destroyer droid has this error texture as in there's a pink box covering it for some reason that I haven't figured out. But yeah there's a pink box covering the Droid

I have an Error.
XML error: Duplicate XML node name headOffset in this XML block:
XML AlienRace.AlienPartGenerator defines the same field twice: headOffset.

1.1 version maybe? i dont wanna upgrade to 1.2 because i have well over 100 mods lol

They are very difficult to kill, have 200% armor to everything, -1000 to 1000 degree of comfortable temperature, super tough armor that will only get killed if everyone focuses on just one destroyer. 2 destroyers WILL wipe a settlement. the other droid pretty much has master craft crafting but can use weapons decently

how overpowered is overpowered? they just gonna make the game easy mode? textures look dope btw

@Knight.R yes

Can it be played on ongoing saves?

I get errors from this, put it last in the androids series.

Hope you feel better boss, love the mod so far
