Buildable pops

[RavenCurow]

Is there any way to make buildable pops the same races as your player race. I'm wanting to make a robot race, but at the moment the starting robots and the built robots are considered a different race. Its kind of annoying.

There is a build-able robots mod on steam. try seeing how they did it.

This is the mod I presume you're thinking of - Playable Robots

Aye. So you don't need to dissect the mod OP, here's the event that does the deed you want to do:

planet_event = {
   id = clonedev.1
   hide_window = yes

   trigger = {
     has_owner = yes
     num_pops > 0
     any_pop = {
       is_species = CLONE_POP_MATURE
     } 
   }

   immediate = {
     every_owned_pop = {
       limit = {
         is_species = CLONE_POP_MATURE
         is_growing = no
       }
       kill_pop = yes
       from = {
         create_pop = {
           species = owner_main_species
           ethos = owner
         }
       }
     }
   }
}

Replace CLONE_POP_MATURE with whatever the species is you defined for your custom robots. You'll need a namespace just cos but there's no call from a source. It's self-triggering. I've found no performance issues and since many many vanilla events go off every tick too, I'm not surprised.

EDIT every_pop was too wide a scope, which is why I used every_owned_pop. The spurious error logged then went away.
