This mod adds a new serum that can be used to convert pawns from biological beings to androids from Vanilla Races Expanded.
1. How does it work?
- The new item, the "Mechanical Ascension Serum", changes a pawn's xenotype to that of an Awakened Android. They will now have the same needs as that of an android and no more biological needs, such as food or sleep.
- Pawns should keep their cosmetic genes. So a Yttakin that gets converted will still look like a Yttakin. (You can change their genes at the android behaviorist station)
- Pawns will enter a short, temporary 1 day coma as they transform.
- If you want pawns to keep more genes when they transform checkout my other mod, VRE Android: Unrestricted Patch (Genes, Reproduction, Psycasts)
2. Requirements
The serum is made at the Android Part Bench added by Vanilla Expanded. It is in the Biotech category.
To craft the serum you will need:
- AndroidTech researched
- A pawn with 8 intellectual skill
- 100 Plasteel
- 30 Uranium
- 3 Advanced Components
- 3 Glitterworld Medicine
Important Tip for Behaviorist Station
To use the station on an awakened android, you first have to make them a prisoner. Do the change, then release them so they rejoin your colony. I can't change how this works, unfortunately.
Feel free to give feedback.
