CBM Assembly

Assembly and disassembly recipes for a number of CBMs

[i2amroy]

I like the idea, but I do have some small balance/diversification suggestions:

• bio_laser should probably be bumped up to a difficult of 8/9
• The bio_armor_X CBM's can probably be reduced down to 6

Edit: Preserved for posterity, ignore the quoted area currently.

• bio_nanobots is a very powerful CBM, and should be much harder to make. Personally I'd bump the difficult up to about 10

I'm also a bit leery about the idea of having you be able to just turn a burnt out bionic into a good one, it seems like it should require at least one other object

• I'd suggest adding a "filter" item. This could be gained from disasembling water purifiers/(gas masks) and could be used in bio_recycler, bio_digestion, bio_blood_filter, and maybe bio_water_extractor as well
• bio_digestion is replacing your intestines/stomach, should probably need a rubber hose
• bio_face_mask needs an electric current to work, power supply should be used
• bio_nanobots should probably require 2-3 RAM's, since you are basically building a bunch of tiny robots. Maybe a scrap metal as well.
• bio_ground_sonar could use 2 "signal receivers", since those seem to be equivalent to speakers/microphones. Also should probably take a power supply.
• bio_metabolics should take 2-3 power supplies like the other power generator CBM's

Lastly:

• bio_face_mask and bio_ground_sonar both seem like they could have the "burnt out bionic or 2 processors" qualification.

@i2amroy It's not entirely clear, perhaps, but the ones that don't require any other items are disassembly-only.

Essentially, they are too complicated to slap together in a post-apocalyptic world, and are there to provide burnt-out CBMs should you run out of those, for whatever reason.

That's also why they don't require soldering iron/toolset charges.

Wrt. difficult, I agree; it needs a bit of balancing.

[i2amroy]

Well that makes me feel stupid, my eyes skipped right over those lines. :P Totally missed the CC_NONCRAFT.

In that case though I do have another question, why require the soldering iron for those at all? It doesn't really make sense to require something designed to put things together when you are taking something apart (unless you are using it to melt something, in which case you should be using up charges).

@i2amroy It's pointier than a screwdriver. :P

It's mostly there for show; disassembly doesn't actually use soldering iron charges anyhow.

[kevingranade]

lens, will fix in merge if you don't get around to it first.

[wito]

Ah, I'll push a fix right away.

[kevingranade]

I'd say either remove the soldering iron/toolkit or have it use some charges. When disassembling electronics you do frequently use a soldering iron. (also a solder sucker or solder braid, but let's not get into that)
Other than that ready to pull.

Done and done.

I think it would be better to have most of these recipes as being learned from external sources, but that's a later enhancement that can be done.

Also, I don't think there's any way to get those lenses other than disassembly? Also a potential future enhancement.

Indeed.

The construction of DoubleTech Industries offices are in the planning stages, slated for early Q3.

Apart from components, the design specs for a lot of this stuff will be found there.
