I would pay to see the look on Indigo's face when he reads:

The Sprite-Bot pushes the Earth Pony in the head, jamming the skull through the brain and tearing the brain!

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hack

Definitions 2, 7, and especially 10.

Definition 2: a person who is a professional at doing some sort of service, but does crappy work.
Definition 7: A political appointed flunky who either doesn't want to work or who is so stupid they can't work
Definition 10: (1) A person who has job so notorious to have faux experience and education they immediately qualify as a hack such as an aroma therapist, massage therapist, wedding planner, quantum physicist, self-prophicized shaman, sociologist adviser, color profiler or even those suspiciously expensive caterers.

I don't understand what you're trying to say ._.

@Picture Ooh, are we having a picture war?

You should use DFhack to fix your irreversible game breaking bug Indigo, it will be good for your aura.

@Picture Ooh, are we having a picture war?

No.
It's a "Wear sunglasses indoors in the middle of winter when posting pictures of ourselves on the internet" war.

Ok, that's enough now guys. I don't believe the distinction between the use and non-use of DFhack warrants an elongated discussion.

Now on topic, how would everyone feel about having non-robobrain robots made using a pet catalyst like a chick? The main problem with robot production is that creatures can't be spawned easily from nothing, and the convoluted method only produces half-functional creatures anyway. Chicks (Or some other reasonable pet creature) are in plentiful supply, so a few can be hand-waved away to be "transformed" into robots.

[P(ony)SI]

Methinks that chicks should be used for sprite-bots, and the brahmins and/or bighorners be protectaponies and Mr. Hooves.
Not too sure about security turrets though.

[Lycaeon]

You'd be building the robots from scratch. Chassis, wiring, motors, AI hologems, etc will all be reagents to produce a potion that transforms the chick into the specified robot.

The only difference for the slave ponies is that robobrains require an actual pony brain.

Isn't that what slave trader bought slaves are?

@PSI, I wanted you to learn the word through the examples, to learn by context. That's how I learned it. I only learned the actual meaning of the word when I went to try and find a definition just now, someone talentless that works purely for money and and not for the sake of creativity. I've always heard the term talentless hack, so I just use hack. Similar to calling someone a bastard even though they're really not someone born out of wedlock.

[Splint]

I like it. like the sprite bots use their tiny yet intelligent birdy brains for a processor!

.... it would explain alot actually...

[Lycaeon]

The only requirements for the pet is that it's fast breeding and easily missed. The point is to actually assemble robots from scratch, with the pet being a minor catalyst that's hand waved away.
