A question:

When you go into the bot, then Status, it shows a Rate (from D to B). In my playthrough, it seems the rate is fixed, depending on the bot model. But shouldn't it be altered when you change parts? For example, if I take a bot originally model AGMX-9, and switch all its parts for top grade parts, shouldn't its rating go up? After all, it now has all the capacities of a functioning JKB-12...
Bot=model base chassis+parts+psychocore.
Model rate is rate of model base chassis. It is how generally good this model. Some models, like Mitsutachi ones take bit less damage. Some will gain more xp, in future. This is inherent property of specific model.
Think about it as car where you change seats or add entertainment center. Car base stays same, but you add something to it.
Final price will rise, but not as much as if you maxed top model.

This is very core things and very unlikely to change.

Technically unlimited, but for now there are only two lines, Sex affinity and Tech affinity. Traits in same line are mutually exclusive.
Is there a way to increase the level of traits? And to increase the odds of getting one?

And on another note, there is not currently more than one of each part in a rank and category, correct? Ex: There is only one E rated arms or something. And there isn't a component for each rank category combo yet, as well. No S ranks yet, right?

somthing that might be good to add ia an option to "lease" your robots out, however there is a chance that they might get damaged depending on the fetish.

an example of this could be

lease robot to ___ for 1 day of BDSM for $3000. 74% chance damage. requires BDSM training D

lease robot to ______ for 1 day of Vaginal Sex for $1200. 21% chance damage. requires Vaginal Sex training C

Also different types of sex training would be good

Yes, every time bot gets xp in related skill there will be check. If stability is low enough and check is successful trait level will rise, once it hit 100 and there is any evolution path for it, it will evolve. Number of these checks depend on xp gained, higher xp - higher possible level growth.
Basically, you want to inject Sex Smart, you lower stability by doing anything granting xp, then you start training target skill, Sex in this case. If you lucky you can get it quick. Trait evolution works same way, just keep pumping xp into target skill. If you see trait level at 100 then you maxed trait evolution path. If you unlucky you get Sex Dumb, you can either continue pumping xp and get Sex Dumb+/++, which is kinda not exactly useful :D Or you can Hack/Remove Trait.

Rank+category, yes, will add more parts soon, not next update or two, but soon. First goal is too fill F-S line up for every part category at least with single item. Current parts: https://f95zone.to/threads/defective-sexbot-chop-shop-v0-1-1-radnor.104343/post-7298282

Yep, idea is sound, something like already on todo list. Same about skill specializations/subskills.

Well then it brings a real issue that the looks of a bot is based on its chassis, then. Some people will like different looks, but if the looks (and videos) is tied to the chassis, and the chassis of the prefered looks is crap, then that's a huge problem...

I understand why you want this. As possible option there will be manipulating images/asset packs, basically replacing models images you like with some good model, but with images you don't like. Will be easy to do.
Including avatar change into game itself is very unlikely.

Is there a reason to have high stability?

Also, I just tried this out with the bots that had inherent traits and once they leveled those traits up, the traits no longer said inherent on them. Not sure if this is intentional.

Later down the line, as an ability granted by high skill and/or better tools/facilities, you could have the option of augmenting the base model chassis with special attributes like enhanced durability, skill learning, psycho core stability, trait slots, role slots, and more.

Just gonna leave this here. Might update it when new versions drop if I have time.

Right now high stability isn't important. Well, as long as you have all the good traits, so training wouldn't inject bad trait.
In future, when i will add content, low stability may trigger bad/weird events with bots.

Inherent trait is something hardcoded into bot brain, by training you upgrade it. But if you wipe psychocore you essentially reset to factory settings, back to inherent trait. So yep, intentional, by design.

There will be special parts, maybe special subparts/addons. But model itself is pretty static thing.

Why do an otherwise actually nice and impressive game with lots of possibilities and then risk it by using unlicensed porn images?
I mean, I know you're making very limited money on it right now, but if it takes off and someone suddenly sees it (and the risk is high, trust me, I am a member of the XBIZ professional porn production network). You risk a takedown at the very least, prison time at most, and inbetween are reimbursements, court cases, etc.

You could just do your own 3D fx with Daz, or actually purchase licensed model photo sets and videos. It's really pretty inexpensive.

But making money on someone else's work - is immoral, and in fact, a crime. Not that I'm going to tell on you, but I probably know some of the producers, and I promise you, they'll go for the throat.

I know :( Already working on replacing it with cleaner assets.
Touched Daz once about 3 years ago. I'm not an artist, and as you said i have very limited money on it right now. So yeah...

Really like the idea but the goal is too near. I got like 40% of the way before i got bored with current version. So either you need to give us something to do after we pay our debts. it would be nice if we could send bots on scavenging runs.
Realisation that there's no way of rising mc's social skills was a bit of a dissapointment but it's manegable knowing how early build it is.

I hope there are some plans for use of combat stat planned - like a bot arena.
Idea for a mechanics- Selling data gained from Psych cores out of junkyard bots.
Grimyness of the world begs for some problems with criminall underbelly - like when we can afford to move shop to our own place.
Some base stats out of bots would be nice.

I hope work continues!

0.1.1 is mostly to playtest mechanics and core.
More content will be added for sure.

Stealing data from bots sounds interesting, added to ideas list, thanks!
Crime-related events will be 100%. Maybe big quest line too. Not soon though.

I hope too :D As long as i manage to get into more safe playfield, i will keep working on it, have enough ideas for months, if not years.

Pretty good so far, though the lack of different pictures and scenes does become noticable at some point. Perhaps supporting custom packs could be a nice addition? That would also sort of solve what that guy said about using unlicensed stuff as that would be the community's doing

Already high priority task.
Plan to add asset packs-style modding next or next next update.

Game could use more models.

To that end is there some kind of resolution guide (what diamensions pixels x pixels each image / gif / webm should be to not break the gui)?

If so i can see people being interested in making thier own and submitting them.

Great! Also, I keep running into the problem where I'm out of CPU's and all the found bots in the scrapyard need that specific part replaced, so perhaps an official retailer would be nice to have a consistent way of getting the parts? It would be more expensive and maybe requiring some sort of official license to buy better grade stuff

Images can be of any size, everything is scaled internally to fit layout. Huge images will just make game laggy a bit. As long as aspect ratio is more or less sane it will work with any dimensions.

I think i have added chance of working CPU in bots from scrapyard, just don't remember if it's in uploaded version or still in source trunk.
CPU is rare, important part, it supposed to be hard to get, especially good ones. You can get QuadX from flea market, it is crappy and slow training, but still.
More shops/traders will be added later on, with different requirements to access. Will be enough places to get parts urgently.
