Hello, I’m having problems with using the Mechanist as a Robot Faction leader in the app. I can make him a leader and choose the Robot Controller leader card. But in perks I can’t see the Robotics Expert perk, and any other Robot Perks don’t become free when I select them for him. I can see Robotics Expert in the library.
Robotics Expert Perk is in the Automatron Deck, which is a separate purchase, but also should be part of the subscription.
I’m having this same issue. And I have an an active subscription to the app. Have no idea why the cards aren’t available in the force builder.
You need to long press the perk to set its value to 0 (as well as any item in the app, in this case, those perks don’t set to 0 automatically).
About Robotics Expert perk, you can find it in settlement Mode only, because you can mod your robots in the other Modes (for this reason, you get a Robot Workbench for your settlement).
Are you making a battlemode list, or a narrative mode/settlement mode list? You wont find it in battlemode or narative as it’s not needed (you can mod robots in NM and BM without the perk). It’s more for settlement mode to give you access to a robot workbench. But you’re not wrong to be confused by this - the robot and creature factions and the “required” leader changes from mode to mode, and drive me nuts.
