What's the point of having robots compared to genetic engineering? I always prefer to create flesh machines and treat them with equality from the start
The only playthrough I enjoyed with robots was as rogue servitors
Synth ascension synergizes better with my materialist/mechanist bonuses
Also I just really like robots
On the surface, robots come with the trading algorithms trait. So if you're using a trade value build, cybernetics is where it's at.
That said, sometimes it's just easier to transition towards a full robot building economy than a cloning economy. Time is your currency in these games, and depending on wether you're a Void Dweller or not, and where you have planets, you might find it easier to just make cyberpeople than clone gene modded people.
