Mod «Vanilla Races Expanded - Android» for Rimworld (v1.4 - 1.5)
Last update: 16.04.24.
Reason: Update mod to version: 15.04.24
Vanilla Races Expanded is a brand new series of mods to enhance Biotech features, add to the storytelling and the world-building of RimWorld, and to introduce new, cool types ofxenohumans, complete with their own unique genes, behaviors, mechanics and items.
This mod redefines the way you play, introducing fully customizable Android colonists that come with their own set of genes - the immutable Hardware and programmable Subroutines.
Hardware genes form the core of your Android, determining their essential behaviors and aesthetics. Subroutines, on the other hand, dictate the abilities of your Androids and can be programmed for various skills and environmental responses. However, maintaining power efficiency is crucial to keep your Android functioning optimally.
Androids are not bound by human needs. They work tirelessly, require no sleep or food, and can be repaired or refilled with neutroamine when needed. New structures, including the Android Creation Station and Subcore Polyanalyzer, bring more depth to your building strategy.
Experience a thrilling development with the Android Awakening. Under extreme moods, Androids can develop human-like traits, breaking away from their standard programming and behaving like human pawns. They can learn new skills, gain new traits, and even require comfort and risk mental breaks.
Awakened Androids integrate into in-game factions, with 30 new backstories for these characters. Ideology integration provides a new precept, Androids, shaping how synthetic humans are viewed by other colonists. Moreover, a new starting scenario presents the opportunity to build an Android Utopia, offering refuge to chased Androids from across RimWorld.

Greetings. Since I installed the mod I've encountered a problem that I can't solve, I don't know if it's caused by some other mod, but I've tried to uninstall several of them.
My problem is that when an android's reactor needs to be changed, the install reactor operation is not visible in the medical operations tab. In reality, no operations are visible, with the exception of removing component (X,Y,Z). Even parts that in theory can be exchanged cannot because they do not appear on the tabs. I already checked the requirements for operations, crafting skill, items etc.
Sadly the mod doesn't work properly, it gives me a glitched ui whenever trying to interact with anything related to the mod
