Learning goals
- Understand MOAs.
- Understand Hounds.
- Understand modular robotic companion logic.
- Understand component-based customization.
- Learn why modular companions require planning.
Explanation
MOAs and Hounds are robotic companions with modular or component-based creation systems. MOAs are robotic companions associated with Solaris-style modular construction. Hounds are advanced robotic companions connected to Sisters of Parvos progression and component choices. Modular robotics can offer customization, but the player should understand access, components, role, modding, and survivability before investing.
What should I do?
Use modular robotic companions when you enjoy custom construction, want robotic companion utility, want to experiment with special precepts, have access to the relevant system, and are ready to plan components instead of building randomly.
Common mistakes
Avoid these companion mistakes before spending resources, Forma, mods, or farming time.
- Building random modular companions with no role.
- Ignoring component effects.
- Assuming every Hound or MOA performs the same.
- Chasing advanced Hounds before understanding Sisters of Parvos.
- Ignoring modding and survivability.
- Treating modular companions as cosmetic-only.
Key Takeaways
- MOAs and Hounds are robotic companions where construction choices matter.
Practical task
Modular robotic companions ask for an access and component plan.
- Choose MOA or Hound.
- Identify where that companion system is accessed.
- Write whether you already have access.
- Identify one component type or customization choice.
- Decide whether this is a current goal or later goal.
You can explain why MOAs and Hounds are modular robotic companions.
