Authors description: Playable Robots

Version 1.52
Adds the ability to play as lovable and violent robots to Stellaris.

Select them from the “Android” category on the Empire creation screen.

Mod Features:Adds 16 Playable Android RacesAndroid Variants, 84 Total Skins Android Name ListAndroid City TypeAndroid Ship Type3 New Synthetic Themed Government TypesFull Support for Various Auto-Generated Robot Empires (Currently Disabled)Works for multiplayerShould Work with Many Other Mods
Allows for the player to choose between playing as a full robot (buildable pops only, no food) or as a regular species (all rules as normal).
It’s completely optional and restricted to players only, so if you only want the portraits/ship types it’s not a problem.

All you need to do is select the appropriate option on the event at game-start.

Avian Reptillain Fungoid Android etc.)Full support for races added in “Playable Invaders”Completely optional, simply not selecting the “Synthetic” option at the beginning of your campaign will allow your species to function as if it were vanilla

Special ThanksShadowclaimer for some of the excellent recolorsSource for help with upgrading pops.MrRaoul for allowing me to integrate his fantastic Fix for GUI and multiples ships/cities
Known Issues/LimitationsBuilt pops only copy traits from vanilla and the mod Extended TraitsAI Races do not spawn naturally. This will be changed if I can figure out how to weight them low compared to other species.Android ship type does not highlight orange when clicked. Why? I don’t know.Your species name is lost when choosing to become synthetic. Causes some text bugs.
