Enables Frankensteins

[RemieRichards]

• Allows you to frankenstein organic limbs onto people, dealing 10 tox damage if the species match
• Allows you to frankenstein organic limbs from OTHER SPECIES onto people, dealing 30 tox damage
• Fixes a bug where /body_parts used for surgery would stay in your hands when they're supposed to be in nullspace.

I say "Enabled" and not "Added" as this is clearly part of the system, Phil just hasn't enabled it because it's not 100% finished (I only really noticed species parts like snouts not following their limbs but that's only a minor graphical issue) but I've enabled it anyway as it's p.fun regardless

@phil235 if you want to save this for when it's more functional feel free to close it.

fun times ahead friend
limbs should probably expire and not work for this after a while though, kinda like defibbed corpses

[Ryll-Ryll]

good shit good shit, if limbs are made to expire they should probably halt that while in a freezer though

[phil235]

woops, my bad

[phil235]

I'm okay with this.
Maybe the name of the surgery needs to be updated though.

How do plasmeme limbs work with this? Will someone with a plasmeme arm frankensteined onto them catch fire in a non-plasma environment?

[phil235]

@drynwyn nope

This seems fun as a MAD SCIENCE thing but I'm worried that will never be done, and instead people will just slap their limbs back on after a bomb

@KorPhaeron

That's exactly what happens on Para, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. Do note, though, that organs and limbs DO rot when they're outside of the body though (reversible with a chem).

Side note: perhaps hands and feet should be brought back, at some point? shrug

this was my reasoning for suggesting limb expiration

@RemieRichards

Would it be too much trouble to require some madscience serum that you had to use on the limb to enable attachment?

[RemieRichards]

I figured the guaranteed tox damage (10 if it's your species, 30 if it's not) was enough of a factor.
I could double these values?

[imtakingabreakdontatme]

I guess that'd be better, but it'd still cut medbay/robotics out of the loop (security, or anyone for that matter, could just slap their limb back on in the execution room/holodeck followed by drinking a bit of tea)

[RemieRichards]

Does the damaged limb not retain it's damage? if so that would be a good way to say "Hey, don't use the limb you just lost in an explosion, it's fucked"

[drynwyn]

Require an application of Strange Reagent before the limb functions, maybe? You can sew it on but it's dead and doesn't work until you revive it with !!SCIENCE JUICE!!

[imtakingabreakdontatme]

@RemieRichards

I could be wrong, but I think that explosions just drop_limb without doing any damage to it.

Also I'm not sure if damage is retained by the limb at all in any case

[imtakingabreakdontatme]

@RemieRichards

If you want to make limb damage transfer when when it gets torn off (and make limbs that are too mangled unsuitable for surgery) that'd probably be better than my idea of a serum anyway.

[Core0verload]

If you can just slap your torn off leg back on yourself, that's bad. It makes loss of limbs mean nothing. Make it something like surgery, and allow only lings to install limbs on the go.

[ghost]

give limbs health so if you saw off a limb it isn't a good idea to reattach it without using a bruise pack

also using the tesla to bring your frankenstein to life when???

edit, actually at first I was against PK's idea but making freezers and fridges be more than a locker/crate reskin would be nice, the chef that leaves out his food should PAY THE PRICE, REEEEEEE

[optimumtact]

@RemieRichards let me know if this is ready

[RemieRichards]

Should be.

[FantasticFwoosh]

• This doesn't work anymore, its not persistent last time i checked for aesthetic visual changes carrying onto new bodies, except maybe in the case of humans to other humans of the same skin tone.

Then file a bug report, don't comment on a year old PR
