Hi,

I'm relatively sure I once had Automatons up to 100% in one of the 3 scenarios.
Now I can't reproduce it, I always only get 95% at maximum.

The 3 engeneer events I remember:
1. give me 1 day to study them
2. lend me an Automaton for 1 day
=> defect, repaired => +5%
3. give me a steam core
=> medical automatons

Is there an event that only occurs under special conditions?

If you have any laws that increase building efficiency (the Foreman bonus from the Order path being by far the largest at 40%) that could easily do it. Otherwise, 95% is the highest it goes.

Just for the record, this is only worth doing for the achievement. Medical Automatons is the most useless tech in the game.

Are you really sure? I'm relatively sure I saw it as an Automaton property, not a building's.
Why should the game designers cap it at 95%?
I will try several different choices, possibly they have an influence on the occuring events.

That's true, but I love to have 5-6 95% Automatons in research ;-)

Engineer automatons is a different tech from medical automatons. It's one of the most powerful technologies in the game and well worth bee-lining for to unlock it as early as possible. Medical automatons, on the other hand, is just useless.

After some trials I now know it for sure:

If you already have researched medical automatons and its enhancement, you get addtional 5% efficiency instead of medical automatons in engeneer event 3. by giving him a steam core).

So we *can* reach 100% automaton efficiency (90+5+5)!

Btw: there might come scenarios where you don't have enough engeneers to play doctor...

Sorry, I cannot mark my own post as solution.

That's extremely interesting to know. I don't think it would be particularly worthwhile on any of the current scenarios, since on the highest difficulties technology and research is vastly more valuable, but in the upcoming endurance mode a 5% bonus could really add up over its 1000 day duration.

That does present a catch-22, as if you have no engineers to play doctor you also have no engineers to perform the research in the first place. It's entirely possible a future event will have circumstances that make this tech useful, but currently that's not the case.

But what if you only have engeneer automatons and non-engeneer people or children? I wish we had a scenario designer ;-)
