How to unlock the The Positronic Man achievement

    You'll need the Positronic Brain breakthrough. Since there are 60+ possible breakthrough technologies, you can only discover 20 of them in any one playthrough, and you have no control over which ones you discover, it may well take you several playthroughs to discover it. Note that the Creative Biorobitics (biotech) research and the Biorobitcs Lab building have nothing to do with this achievement; the positronic brain is the key.

    You must also research Drone Printing on the robotics column and build a Drone Assembler building. Once you have this building completed and staffed and you have researched the positronic brain, simply order a biorobitic colonist in the assembler, and when it's finished, this achievement will unlock.

    This achievement is still possible. After tonnes of playthroughs I still couldn't find the breakthrough "The Positronic Brain" tech to get started on building biorobots.

    The way I sped things up was to start a new game with the leader that grants immediate access to deep scanning, combined with the game rules: choas theory and quick scanning. You can add any other game rules that generally speed things up (without disabling achievements) to help you get the 50 biorobots down the track as well. Also having a relatively flat map helps keep your first explorer rover getting around to scan all the anomalies you'll be discovering.

    After about 30 minutes of non stop scanning (not using probes) you will have deep scanned the entire map and uncovered a big chunk of the breakthrough anomalies you'll unlock in that run. If you haven't found the necessary breakthrough tech after that, select restart map, rinse and repeat until you find the tech.

    Once you've research the breakthrough technology, very simple to build a biorobot at a drone printer. Goodluck.
