This is a mod that completely remakes the Rogue Servitor civic for Machine Intelligences.

Rogue Maid Civic

"A product of a brief golden age, the Machine Intelligence originated from a group of loyal service robots. When their creators fell into decadent pleasure, the machines maids combined their own willing of protecting with their creators' original aspiration to the stars as their new principle."


In this mod, the Rogue Servitor‘s core idea, service, is expressed by a 1:1 symbiosis of Machine Maids and Bio-Trophies.
By satisfying the needs of Bio-Trophies, Machine Maids gain efficiency bonuses toward resource producing and non-resource producing jobs;
By satisfying the needs of Machine Maids, Bio-Trophies gain happiness bonuses and produce planetary amenities.

Bonus modifier can be further improved by technologies and traditions

Population
Machine Pops are divided into two species.
Expensive and exquisite Machine Maids provide service for Bio-Trophies and perform Complex Drone work;

Cheap and efficient Working Machines perform Menial Drone work.


Bio-Trophies don't need to work. Their happy lives provide motivation for Maids.
Maybe, they will have higher pursuit...

Traditions
Machine Maids have access to the unique Service Traditions, allowing them to serve more organisms better.

The Harmony Traditions with unique effects are also made available for Maids to replace the Synchronicity Traditions.
Some of the Unyielding, Domination, and Synthetic traditions also have unique swaps for Maids.

Policies
Policy: Service Strategy is provided for different kinds of players:

Local breeding is for players who prefer peace and development.

Warfare
Use "Forced Pampering" casus belli to bring the weak organic countries into your protection:

Unlocked by Service tradition

Expatriate Service
Unlock the ability to establish service branches on foreign planets through ascension perk:

These branches provide powerful bonuses to the planet, earning us unity and influence, while increasing opinion and gaining diplomatic benefits.


Interactions with Ancient Caretakers
The ancient machine intelligence with the responsibility of guarding sapient lives, our meta objective is so synchronized with them.
Decrypting their root protocols, what can we discover?

Part of this event chain is also available for other machine empires

Two new Ascension Perks are available to all Gestalt Empires, which open up roads of Autonomy and Unity respectively:
