skrelk Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I've looked and googled, and looked in the wiki, but I can't find an answer to this question: What is a duplicant? What is a printing pod? Are they clones? Are they advanced robots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloomRide Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 They're clones, or at least humans printed from a predetermined DNA blueprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolthulhu Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 They seem to be modified clones. Probably not clones of humans, just human-like. I'm pretty sure I saw some lore snippet in the ruins saying they have genetic memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispershade Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 They probably dream of unicorns and wax poetic about C-beams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRou Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Want to screw with people soo... Robots are machines capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically. Organic life also carry out complex tasks automatically. So technically every form of life is a robot. Therefor dupes must be organic robots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefor dupes must be organic robots Personally, I am convinced we are all just sims on some aliens game on a laptop computer, we have just been programmed to think we are real. And, since we have all been pre-programmed, it comes down to fate, and fate rules out free will. We are all just doing what our programming has set us to do. Ergo, I had no choice weather or no to write this message. I was destined to write it. We are all just ones and zeros that have become self aware, and you can't prove any different !

Assumes alien computers use base 2 binary math in their computers. For all you know they use base 13 quantum nonsense. No only are we robots. We're artificial life-forms made by humans. We just happen to be naturally artificial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
