I'm enjoying this mod a lot.

Only thing I would suggest looking at is the cost of things, specifically the anima doll. The dolls are 2.5 times the cost of the golems, so each golem that dies results in a wealth spike. If you take heavy losses in a raid, you end up with higher wealth, which encourages storytellers to "kick you while you're down" and send you harder raids despite your reduced force.

Since there isn't any real uses to the anima logs, maybe it's worth making dolls non-recoverable, so there is a reason to keep farming logs. It'd also prevent the wealth spike. Just an idea ofc.

This mod is wonderful - thank you very much. Handing off menial labour to these guys has helped greatly, and they are nice and quick to replace when things go wrong, like a center drop raid catching my utility golems out of their safe room. And they're cute !

This is great!! the only thing I dont like much is the "disassemble" , maybe add a module to give golems regen? or a way to make them repairable with enough tech? (maybe a building like a molten clay vat where golems can go to be "rebuilt" automatically?)

Alright yeah after testing for a while, Locks is incompatible, unsure with golems specifically or asimov, good to know though! Now my golems are FREEEEE YIPPEE!!

@DetVisor yeaah I thought so :<
There's the mod Locks which I have for the Prison Labor mod, seems to be the only mod changing interactions with doors (and interactions in general in my list), I'll see about testing without the mod!

A small suggestion

Add the ability to have a golem be made with an anima bloom, allowing very slow healing, reduced need for sleep, and better productivity.

Can this be added mid save? Sorry if someone already asked this

if not meant to get attached, why so cute?

@Dragon, any mods that change pathing, doors, any interactions? They can definitely open doors in my testing.

This is crazy cool!

My golems can't open doors and keep collapsing due to exhaustion, any idea how to make life easier for my little army of eepy clay? I need doors but don't want to lock them away for eternity because they can't learn that most doors are pull and not push.. *unsure if it's intended or a mod conflict*

This mod says it requires azimov when I try to load it but links to Vanilla extended. But when I sub to it there's no prereqs listed at all, and when I restart the game to load the mod the game removes all mods b/c of critical failure.

Can we have, if im not just dumb and cant find it, a way to see the stats of the golems and what they are used for specifically BEFORE building them? like have the skills in the crafting description? you can build them and look at the stats and then deconstruct them but like thats a whole song and dance.. i went to the mod pade to check and its not on here either ;w; soz 4 the novel

needed this nice

Medieval Overhaul also has a claim. Can you set it so that when Medieval Overhaul is enabled, the claim of Medieval Overhaul can also be used to make dolls?

wonderful mods, i love these

to add to other people's desire for a method of repairing golems, perhaps they could be repaired like structures or there could be an operation that uses some clay to mend their wounds and replace anything that was lost?

;___; they're so cute.... what do you mean if they get hurt we just destroy them????? pls make golem bandaids for my children

Golems my beloved.

@ThatBartGuy, yes I tried setting the animal beds/boxes/spots as medical beds too. (Sorry, it's hard to list everything I tried.) I'm also running a lot of mods, so mod interaction may be an issue, but I can't think of any mods I use that has anything to do with animal beds until now.

@NoctisTheBogWitch, the clay may shed, but the anima doll remembers what it has experienced.

"Hurr what niche do they fill compared to-" being cute dumbass

A lovely idea for my eventual medieval colony. Thank you!

@Krak, did you set them as medical beds?

*hava nagila intensifies*

Anyone know about adding this midsave? Looks super cool but dont wanna break my save

When you disassemble a golem, does it keep its memories? Bob is a homie and I wanna keep him fr :(

Will the D&D race of Forged (mechanical creatures) be added in the future?

Super cool, love the anima tree balancing mechanic. S tier mod!

Why use golem when slave does trick?

this is so creative! I love all the mechanics and story you built into this

So it's like a fantasy version of craftable mechanoids?

@DetVisor, "For surgery golems need an animal bed to lay down in."
I have tried an animal bed, an animal sleeping box, and an animal sleeping spot.
I have tried to assign animal beds to golems, select golems and right-click on animal beds, and I even just gave them time to do it on their own.
But nothing works. With an operation bill to "Disable and Disassemble", it just doesn't ever happen. Of course, when I use high art golemancer to right-click on the golem it says that I cannot operate on the golem because it's not ready for surgery because I can't get the golem to use an animal bed/box/spot.
Am I missing something?

Would you backport to B12

Is it possible that you could make this be available for 1.5 too :p

This mod is genuinely amazing, and the crafting procedure is so interesting.
but dammn these golems are so ugly they look like low resolution potato

Hey im wondering is this patched to use the clay from medieval overhaul?

ah thank you.

All those tasks are just a visual bug from the framework used, they all do the same thing so don't worry about it. For surgery golems need an animal bed to lay down in.

(i missed a 't' in a 'not' in the produce drugs one sorry)

I have a screenshot if you'd like it. What is the intended way to dissassemble these guys? Thanks.

(2/2) I am actually given quite a few tasks to not be able to do in this seeming state of 'surgery avoidance', they are as follows: (I have renamed this golem 'Taras', it will be relevant.) (The grammar presented is exactly as it is written in game.) "Cannot operate on Taras: Not ready for surgery", "Cannot cook at Taras: Not ready for surgery", "Cannot cook Taras: Not ready for surgery", "Cannot butcher at Taras: Not ready for surgery", "Cannot work at Taras: Not ready for surgery", "Cannot smith at Taras: Not ready for surgery", "Cannot smith Taras: Not ready for surgery", "Cannot fabricate things at Taras: Not ready for surgery", "Cannot tailor at Taras: Not ready for surgery", "Cannot sculpt at Taras: Not ready for surgery", "Cannot work Taras: Not ready for surgery", "Cannot produce drugs at Taras: No ready for surgery", "Cannot cut stone blocks at Taras: Not ready for surgery", "Cannot refine at Taras: Not ready for surgery", "Cannot cremate at Taras: Not ready for surgery".

(1/2) i'm trying to disassemble my golems after they took a beating in a raid, and i managed to locate the "disable and dissassemble" bill in the health tab, so I went ahead and gave all of them this bill, however, when i (with my geomancer) right click on the golem, I am informed that I cannot operate as the golem is not ready for surgery. is this intended?

SNEAKY GOLEM

The second golem mod

aww theyre so cute

FINALLY!!! I have been waiting so long for a golem mod!

I believe that you should probably either add a percentage loss to money gained when selling anima dolls like weapons get, or reduce their market value significantly, as for only five 12 value logs, you can create 3000 value worth dolls which can be sold for a lot. Or you could make it so anima dolls can't be sold by the player, so they still have high colony value without creating tradable wealth.

My little guys
