…m, but revive every now and again).

I like it! I'd like to suggest that maybe they could have a small chance of dropping a power storage bionic when butchered (experimental bionics still need power cells, right?) with a particularly high survival roll required to scavenge it. |
|
Yay! This game really needs more cyberpunk. |
|
Yeah, will have to look at the butchering bionic thing. Will put the PR on WIP and add that. |
…butchering, or a burnt out bionic otherwise. The new broken cyborg monster has this tag. Works in addition to the normal CBM tag.
|
Added new monster tag CBM_POWER gives a chance 33% of 1 power CBM on butchering, or a burnt out bionic otherwise. The new broken cyborg monster has this tag. Works in addition to the normal CBM tag. |
|
Uh, why not based on Survival? |
|
I just used the same code as the CBM tag. |
|
And the CBM tag has a 50% chance of CBM's being broken (apparently) I reduced it to one in 3. |
|
I don't see the need to reduce it, but wev. |

So, it says "You discover a power storage" even if what you actually discover is a burnt out CBM? Or am I misreading that?

Yeah, but that is just the same as how the previous butchering CBM mechanics worked.

Yes, but that was a generic "you discover a CBM" -- burnt-out bionics are CBMs. However, I would disagree if you tried to tell me a burnt-out bionic was a power storage.

Fair enough. Seems somebody already merged a fix.
Inspired by the eclipse phase discussion and this image, http://matiasmurad.deviantart.com/art/Future-333064056 I created a broken cyborg.
The idea behind it, some poor sod was hurt bad, and the lab techs used a lot of experimental (and non salvageable) bionics and cybernetics to try and save him. The experiment worked. And then the cataclysm happened. It was only step one, so a random normal person was used. And now he is crazed, confused, and his body is running on automatic. (which of course is just a random self defense system).
The cyborg repairs itself, and the human has been revived a few times already. So it cannot control itself, has no idea what is going on and cannot die.
Spawns 10% of the times near a dissector in the lab.
