I'm not sure if this can constitute as a bug, but it's an issue nonetheless. Every time I boot up the game with Automatons installed recently, it opens up the debug log and tells me that it can't resolve a cross-reference between various drugs and an alien race's chemical settings. I've tested it with this mod and the bare minimum to run it, and this issue still occurs, and it does so even outside of devmode. Could you have a look at it? I'd appreciate it.

Yeah, that's my bad. The next update'll have that fixed. Until then, don't worry about it, it's not game breaking.

Similar error to what @Skorpior had i believe.

Confound it, I thought I worked out all the kinks. I'm off RimWorld for now, but I'll look into that once I get back in. Ignore it for now, it doesn't look like it'll destroy your game. If I'm reading it right, it looks like it's just having trouble patching in the 'Natural' meditation type into my the automaton's custom tribal backstories.

Ya i dont believe its game breaking. I just wanted to say i really appreciate your mod. The Automatons give of a very Futurama Robot feel. Excellent minimal robots with out all the extra fuss so many other mods try to couple with their robot pawns.

The aim was simplicity! Glad I hit the mark.

Hey, also getting the 'cross-reference' errors concerning items, going to ignore it since you said it'll be fine. cheers.
