(By the way, why does insanity work on robots in this game?)
Well there are only androids in the vanilla game,
if you check CF -> lists -> monster list, no creature is classified as robot,
and definition of android does not exclude use of biologic part like nervous system and/or brain.
Ofc when we look at rfs-81 the race description mentions android immunities,
but it is "only" a bunus to resistance which can overflow
if he uses mental resistance bonus item(s) and is protected by maxed mag screen + soul shield.
Regarding influence of "mere" pie on resistance, i.e. without iron will powerskill:
I dont care for pie at all exept for bishops as the higher SPP make a difference,
but dont keep track on their resistance as I usually live from the bonuses that the buffs provide.
Anyhow one could use a save editor and increase PIe to check the effect on resistance in game,
it should instantnly show the updated value, if insecure edit before lvl up, increase pie on lvl up and check.
