Rogue Robots of Qud

Thank you to my friend lakeraydia for eir art used as the Rogue Robots icon!

If you're having issues with robot mutations appearing on modded genotypes, use
this patch. This does not support all modded genotypes, and causes some other minor issues if there are no other modded genotypes, but it's easy for me to add more and a better solution is in the works.

Rogue Robots of Qud aims to add robots as a fully-fleshed-out genotype complete with (mostly) unique mechanics and mutations. Playing as a robot differs from playing as either a True Kin or Mutated Human in a number of ways:

• You do not have access to physical mutations, but gain access to a unique set of robot-exclusive mutations
  
• You do not need to eat or drink, but also can't metabolize meals
  
• You cannot use tonics
  
• You can use new items sold by village tinkers and looted from certain robots to upgrade your stats instead (so long as you still have room for more hardware...)
  
• You are EMP sensitive and can be made to rust (only very rarely)
  
• You are immune to all diseases, including fungal infections
  
• You have a natural +6 boost to mental armor, but this will be permanently lost if you have a psychic awakening
  
• You inherently have a fusion generator which can be used to power jacked items
  
• Your starting skills are not based on your subtype but your 'core' module
  
• Robots start neutral (but a little bit mad at you, you are a ROGUE robot after all)
  
• Limbs naturally regenerate, but at a VERY slow rate (one limb every 1000 turns).
  
• You cannot tattoo yourself, but you can engrave yourself. This works for the Mark of Death quest. With this mod installed, Yla Haj sells 1 guaranteed gaslight chisel which can be used to engrave the Mark of Death.

There are also unique defects for robots, including one which replaces your healing with manual repair (via the Repair tinkering skill), with more to come!

Robots can also (if they start with the Biological Core mutation) gain mental mutations as they level and become powerful psykers in their own right!
