Psychic Coils - VRE Androids Add-On

Description
Psychic Coils!
Adds a new subroutine to the Vanilla Races Expanded Androids!

This subroutine gives your androids Psychic Sensitivity and allows them to gain and use Psycasts!

Psychic Robots?
The "in lore" explanation for how this subroutine functions is as follows: Eltex coil windings are embedded within and around the androids CPU housing, this allows the android to manipulate (and be manipulated by) the archotech psychic field.

However, as the coils are utilised to cast psychic abilities, they build up chaotic stress energies, which is slowly dissipated back into the field, but if the coils are supersaturated with this stress (Over neural heat limit), they begin to shed this energy in the form of heat, directly next to the CPU. This causes dramatically decreased efficiency and makes the androids RAM unstable, which causes an increased need for reformatting.

Dont know if its a mod conflict or i somehow made a terminator but even after taking 1000 rounds and all limbs shot off an android from another tribe was still walking towards me like a terminator.

So glad you were able to port the mods over so more people can enjoy them!

I've added a link to your translation to all three of the mods in the description so even if this comment gets buried, people can find it!

Thanks!

Oh! Friends,I think your mod is extremely interesting, but unfortunately, there's no Chinese translation. Therefore, I've translated it into Mandarin for domestic users to enjoy. Please don't mind. Here's the link to the Chinese-localized

No problem at all, please let me know if anything else comes up!

I knew that VPE was inevitably not going to play nice with android psycasters, I was just waiting for it to to finally show up lol, I anticipate that at least a couple more psycasts don't have intended behavior

(There is a current bug where androids are immune to the psychic coma inflicted by some psycasts like Split Mind or Timeskip meditation, but for now I'm calling it a feature until I can find a satisfying alternative.)

Thanks! Should be able to try it out a bit later.

Bug should be squashed now, neither Reformatting nor Solar Flared mental breaks will be passed along to puppets at any point.

Technically this means the puppets will function when the master isn't, but that's a sacrifice I'm making for my own sanity.

Visual exceptions really is a lifesaver. Glad I could help!

Oh thank god you found this! I've been hunting this error in my own game for a while now.

Now I can finally start fixing it.

Last update on this. Android mental states/breaks seem to be a problem in general, especially with not ending properly if at all. solar flared freezes puppets permanently
