Rogue Robots of Qud

I will note though, the ammo fab mutation does that because a tinker build could just make the bullets as you'd expect - with tinker bits. The ammo fabricator is an alternative to that, rather than an upgrade to it.

No, I definitely get it. A lot of that is stuff I've wanted to do but haven't figured out a great way to do. Will add it to the list!

I trimmed down my original comment by about ~4500 characters to fit everything I wanted to say into Steam's maximum comment size, so I might have left some things out in my original comment. If anything I've said doesn't make sense, please respond to me and I'll try to get back to you.

Excellent mod! I love the balanced feel of everything (or almost everything), and I especially respect and admire the fact that you're making this mod with (seemingly) no funding for it nor monetary reward from it!

Great Features/Characteristics:
- Thematically appropriate addition of robots as playable characters to CoQ
- The unique and novel addition of different robot modules to enhance character customization
- The ability to gain modules throughout a run
- The freedom from eating and drinking

Critique-Worthy Feature/Characteristic:
- Ammunition fabrication module's expensive cost for a batch of bullets (maybe not making it cost HP would be a good approach, kind of like how in vanilla CoQ you can tinker up like 50 lead slugs for just 1 D tinker bit or so if you can somehow get the recipe for a bullet)

Suggestion:
- Psychometry for robots through some analysis module or artifact that analyzes artifacts over time

Thank you so much for making such a great mod!

I upgraded efficient computing but my compute power remained at 25.

I mean you're not wrong but actually fixing these is a lot harder than it sounds. I've been writing some notes for an upcoming mutation update, but so far it's pretty rough (as you can tell from the lack of updates).

Great job on the mod. Though I have some feedback.

1. skill progression feels a bit lacking compared to the base game mutant and true kin. What stood out to me is the fact that there are so few mutations that you can invest points into.

2. The active skill mutation doesn't feel that strong again compared to what mutant can do. I think there should be a steam equivalent of corrosive gas together with steam vent so a high Willpower robot build would be viable.

3. The mid-endgame character progression feels extremely limited. The lack of eater's nectar/brain brine equivalent for robot (And no I really don't think the stat upgrade item is anywhere close to a replacement for these, not to mention the fact that they you can't get them from refreshing merchant) means you don't really have any good option for vertical investment aside from power leveling. Which imo is a mindnumbingly boring way to play.

Also, the frames are sorted by how close they are to a standard game experience. The multihauler is strong for a multiweapon fighting build, but so is a chimera with a lot of arms. I've been trying to keep things MOSTLY in-line with vanilla. But yes, some of the options are way more powerful than the others. Your mileage may vary depending on your build though.

Electromagnetic hardening should work? That said, it could be the part I'm using for it doesn't work the way I think it does. Will look into this

Also, does electromagnetic hardening not actually work? Even with it, I seem to lose a lot of turns when an emp grenade explodes on me.
