Aahahah the notion that other races need “specialists” is laughable. Moths, Lizards, Felinids, Apids, Flies, Squids, Every halloween race, dont need such a thing.
Something I will heavily consider is running out of power forcing a “low power mode” which paralyzes the IPC until a reboot module is used on them.
Yes, I understood your proposition, and i am completely on board.
if an ipc gets debrained, just… put the brain back in? That got fixed by me a month ago.
That being said, my plan is to add a Chassis crate to Cargo.
pretty sure that’s bannable
Make IPCs be able to charge off of Ethereals. Please, I need this. IT MAKES SENSE.
NO POSITRON ERP.
the fucking forums isnt letting me post because “its not a complete sentence”.

The forums know you’re wrong, don’t force the issue, just accept it.
nope it aint. suprisingly they are still “golems” and i can just tell them to be normal crew.
What I meant is that specialists for other races would be doctors, or at least anyone with surgical tools and an operating area/medicines, and a defib.
For IPCs, it’d be any schmuck with a welder and cables (able to be made in an autolathe mind you, these are public access, almost free items), and a reboot board so that at least not anybody can completely negate death for IPCs.
dont forget heads so. also make it just the empty chassis and head so you have to asemble them first really
It kinda balances out with how braindead easy it is to heal ipcs compared to other races though. In the time it takes me to do one tend wounds surgery you can just bang a handful of wires against ipcs and probably heal three or four of them from death.
This is because for some reason nobody bothered to add a do_after() to healing OTHER people, and im adding that.
layman’s terms: ipcs will be healed the speed by others as they can heal themselves.
I like the idea if we will go further than making it just the equivalent of blood.
What if you could change the ipcs fluid (no matter if its oil or coolant or what have you), having different fluid would have positive and negative side effects like you could move faster but you would lose energy very rapidly and would easily overheat (overheating was proposed in this thread), or you would move very slow but your heat resistance would increase etc
If we will ever have clock IPC they absolutely have to charge not by electricity but by being wound up with winding key
There’s still an issue where you can’t rebuild an IPC if they are gibbed. Only way to get a new IPC limbs is by using an IPC slime mutation which could take forever depending on how competent the xenobiologist is.
Also, I think IPCs should take burn damage rather than brute in vacuum.
Time to play as a vodka-cooled IPC called 1.V4.N and speak exclusively in russian.
Why not add some interaction with emag?
ipc chassis will be purchasable from cargo
Hooray !
How do you plan to balance it then ?
Well no i’m a dumb dumb the meta will just change if we use these too much so it will all balance itself in the end but maybe you had an idea mecanic wise ?
IPCs losing their chassis is fairly uncommon, and its not much different than Genetics shitting out infinite bodies for non-ipcs.
Bruh i didn’t even know genetics could do that !
Time to play a bit of geneticist.
