Is there a faster way to get Computer chips and Mechanisms? I really want to build a Servo but its taking way too long.

You need to level up. I recommend to place the lamp that make your sim focused on the shelf that is a part of the engineering table. That way your sim will level up faster.

Thanks for the advice but my sim is already at level 10 in the Robotics skill and she still takes about 3 in games hours to make a mechanism or a computer chip.

My technique is buying utility bots from debug mode, then dismantle them for pieces with the robotics table and bam....lots of mechanisms and chips!

Also your sim levels up in robotics pretty fast.
I did dismantle a lot of bots though, since they were free.

Has anyone tried cloning these parts with the cloning machine from the Scientist career?

You can also make the robo-arm first, wear it and it'll increase your sim's crafting speed and decrease the chance of explosions (or whatever they are).

I don't think the computer chips and mechanisms can be cloned in any way because they can't be dragged into live mode. They're like the hazmat suit and evidence pieces from StrangerVille, personal inventory only.

I think I have a mod that lets you buy parts in bulk.

If you shift click on the robot station, it gives the option to spawn crafting supplies and it gives you tons of the computer chips and mechanisms

what's the name of the mod?

Oh, my plumbob, this made it so much easier, no mod needed! It gave like 50 mechanical bits in one click, oh thank goodness. I kept getting electrocuted on every third thing I was making anyways. Thank you so so much!!

Once you type “testingcheats on” shift click on the work station, and then hit spawn supplies.

Tanks Thatcher helped a lot 👍🏻

You can find a finished build servo with the bb.showhiddenobjects cheat. (I did also write in bb.showliveeditobjects, don't know if that cheat had anything to do with finding the servo)
Just filter to objects only from Discover University and then write debug in search.

I'd be happy if my Servos could do the drudge work of making the chips and mechanisms, so I could assemble them into bots etc.
