Midaychi Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I'll keep this short and detailed. Science Module goal: To further research and assist the station scientists. Possible uses: Assisting with xenoarchaeology, xenobiology, and telescience. Also has very limited ability to assist in Toxins and R&D. Contents: - Flash - Flashlight - Ability to drink coffee to no effect - Pen - Mining satchel (mostly for picking up the plain generic non-strange rocks from excavating) - Satchel that can hold rock slivers, sample bags, and the smaller artifact finds - Cyborg adjustable pick (I'm assuming this also functions as a pickaxe. If not then they'd also need a pickaxe) - Alden Saraspova counter - Measuring tape - Depth Scanner - Wrench - Rock Coring device - Xeno-Stabilization field (Toggle it on/off when equipped as a module, stays on or off even if not active module but not if put away. When active, will drain battery faster but will act if cyborg has a full anomaly set and latex gloves on) - Optical mesons - Fire extinguisher - Pneumatic grabber (Works like maintenance drone magnetic grabber, but instead works on and allows the cyborg to use: Space GPS devices, anomaly batteries, beakers, R&D machine parts, Rock Slivers, Sample bags, Undeployed telepads [the tracking-beacon like thing you can print from protolathe], bars of soap, coffee cups, and monkey cubes) No welding tool, because it would give them repair abilities and also: If you know what you're doing in xenoarchaeology, you never need a welding tool. Emagged equipment: - A screwdriver - A syringe - Some sort of device that can be used for drilling pressure holes in single tank bombs, but can't be used for anything else a welding tool can be used for. - A signalling interface on their PDA - Pneumatic grabber can now also pick up and manipulate: anomaly utilizers, transfer valves, single tank assemblies, gas tanks, slime cores, and the various signalling equipment usually used on bombs. ------------------------ Farm Module goal: To assist in the horticultural supply of the station, and in the efforts of the station hydroponics workers. Possible uses: 420 grow weed erry day, helping botany grow all the shit/growing chef stuff when the botanists commit suicide/BEEES Contents: - Flash - Flashlight - Ability to interface with the seed and hydro venders - Ability to pneumatic grab a lit blunt and use a verb to clear pneumatic grabber, but put a blunt sprite + smoke on the cyborg. - bucket - bee net - syringe - wrench - plant bag - a cyborg hatchet (That only works for carving pumpkins/cutting wood/etc) - a plant analyzer - a weeder hoe - a shovel - a spraybottle of plant-b-gone - a pneumatic grabber (Works like maintenance drone grabbers, but instead can only pick up and use: Seed bags, bee stuff, wood planks and wood tiles, grass tiles, rolling paper, sandstone blocks (for dirt making), and Floral Stomato ray guns.) Emagged equipment: - Ability for the pneumatic grabber to also pick up and use: Beakers, and all of the plant produce including nettles/death nettles, ) - Cyborg Hatchet gains ability to be used as a normal hatchet.

Streaky Haddock Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I'd be cautious giving cyborgs the ability to work out the telescience offset easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumiluntti Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Without slime cutting machinery, the xenobio bot outclasses the human counterparts in slime herding duty and leaves the slime mutilating duty solely to the poor xenobiologist. 2 hours of scalpel-scalpel-saw action means sudden pandemic of SSD in xenobiologists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fj45 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Last thing we need in malf rounds is a bomb in engineering and the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midaychi Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 So the Science bot would be better off without bombing/xenobio abilities is what you mean? Trimming it down to more just xenoarchaeology wouldn't be too bad. Maybe alternatively: give science cyborg surgery tools for working only on slimes, but remove their ability to do the actual slime herding/using part? What would emagging unlock then?

Eldrin-Kanthos Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Mining borgs can do xenoarch I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midaychi Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 The xenoarch modules were removed from mining borgs during the transition to new mining. Besides, I showed this suggestion to ponies and got an instant "Fuck no! We have too many cyborg modules already! This is almost as bad as that one time when someone suggested a honk borg." so, yeah.

Eldrin-Kanthos Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 honk borg Need this. Banana launcher, flashlight, bike horn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampyrBytes Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 honk borg Need this. Banana launcher, flashlight, bike horn. And space lube when emagged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qinetix Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Well this is what squishy creatures like humans are for. Also certain artifacts are probably going to shutdown the cyborg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=768h3Tz4Qik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zgun Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Personally I would hate to have to work in hydro with a borg, borg bump mechanics would make it hell in a small area where you already walk in and around other hydro workers consistently as it is.
