New implant ideas/organs

[Nnystyxx]

<Haine> we have an organHolder datum that currently contains: head, skull, brain, left_eye, right_eye, chest, heart, left_lung, right_lung, butt
<Haine> we have dummy objects for uhh
<Haine> livers, kidneys, stomachs, intestines, spleens, pancreasesisess?, and appendixes

I consider that a challenge. Let's go down the list.

CYBER-LUNGS would let you resist airborne toxins. You would still die in space, of course, since you're just extracting oxygen from all the other shit, but perhaps a version could include an internal reservoir that would fill up and be switched to when entering an oxygen-deprived area.

CYBER-LIVERS could have a number of effects, from adjusting the rate of chemical decay in the bloodstream to filtering out 'harmful' shit a la hyposprays to forcibly ejecting the contents of the bloodstream all at once, sometimes including blood. Alcohol resistance???

CYBER-KIDNEYS uhhhhh this may actually be somewhat redundant

CYBER-STOMACHS really I have no idea but I bet they'd let you eat more things/resist food poisoning, etc., possibly draw more health from eating/do so at a lower threshhold.

CYBER-INTESTINES AND SPLEENS I have no idea.

CYBER-PANCREAS reactively produces insulin when you're sugar-dead.

CYBER-APPENDIX is a bit of a wildcard. It absorbs toxins from the bloodstream, but after a certain amount that is randomized (but hinted at by chat messages) the whole thing fucking blows up and poisons you, just like a real appendix, only in the meantime you are near-invulnerable to poison short of the Really Bad Shit.

I also had the idea for chemical implants that let you tap a button and shove chems into yourself without a syringe or anything. Fill it with weed smoke as usual
anyway suggest whatever for tweaks/new things/tell me the idea is terrible and I should graft a cyberbutt to my head

Cyber Kidneys: Piss oil

Cyber Kidneys: Piss oil

this guy's got the right idea

<Haine> jam an emergency e-tank in the place of a lung

<Winklabom> Cyber lungs should just allow you to scream louder when emagged imo

[Anticheese]

Cyber intestines: adjust a dial (or a PDA application) to fine-tune the mightiness of your farts.

[Firepower]

Cyber stomach: Much louder burps, ability to puke on command.

CYBER-INTESTINES AND SPLEENS: You're farts sound like it came from a cyborg. (Synthetic farts.)

[Grek]

Lungs: You get two. Each meat lung is responsible for half of your oxygen damage/loosebreath healing rate. For every lung missing you lose 50% of that rate. Synthlungs give twice normal oxygen/loosebreath, but only in the presence of CO2. Cyberlungs must be filled with a gas canister prior to installation and function as internals. They have the same capacity as an big blue tank. If you have no lungs, you cannot talk or scream. If you have two cyber lungs, you scream like a cyborg.

Liver: You get one. The liver defines what your metabolism does to alcohol. A meat liver turns it into ethanol. A cyber liver turns it into nicotine. A synthliver turns it into jenkem. If you have no liver, it turns into histamine.

Kidneys: You get two. These determine urine content. Meat kidneys turns water into urine. Cyberkidneys turn welding fuel into oil. Synthkidneys turn water into ammonia. If you have no kidney, you pee blood and take brute damage for your effort. Each time you pee, it picks a random kidney to draw from.

Stomach: You get one. A normal stomach lets you eat and drink things normally. A cyberstomach causes things you "eat" to go into a storage cavity within your cyberstomach, but prevents drinking. A synthstomach causes things that you drink to be stored in a 120u capacity reagent tank, but does not allow you to eat. Eating or drinking while missing a stomach causes you to immediately contract food poisoning.

Intestine: You get one, and you need it to successfully fart. A meat intestine functions normally. A cyberintestine renders you immune to eggs and fartonium. A synthintestine renders you immune to simethicone. Eating or drinking while missing your intestines causes you to immediately contract MRSA. Removed intestines (and their cyber/synth counterparts) can be worn in the exosuit slot as a festive boa.

Spleen: You get one. Your spleen generates blood and controls your immune response. A meat spleen does both averagely. A cyberspleen allows you to convert iron directly into blood at a 1:5 rate, but provides no protection against disease. A synthspleen is excellent at fighting disease, but provide no natural blood regeneration. If you have no spleen, you get no blood regeneration and are immunocomprimised, which sucks for you.

Pancreas: You get one. Your pancreas manages the body's response to insulin. A meat pancreas causes insulin to increase sugar depletion rates. A cyberpancreas causes insulin to increase histamine depletion rates. A synthpancreas causes insulin to increase atrazine (weedkiller) depletion rates. If you lack a pancreas, you get no benefit from insulin.

Appendix: You get one. A meat appendix has a 99% chance to be healthy and a 1% chance (determined randomly for each crew member each round) to be in need of removal. A cyberappendix can be injected with implants using an implanter. These implants cannot be removed using the normal surgical procedure and instead require the removal of the appendix. A synthappendix reduces the change of getting food poisoning from bad food by 90%. Not having an appendix does nothing bad.

Multiple ideas for Cyber Butts:

-Extra box sized storage "Junk in the trunk"
-Sound Synthesizer powered custom fart noises
-Fart propulsion in space (Requires air tank)

I want to see someone farther with a bible in their buttcrate and implode

Augmentation is cool and good but I want to suggest moving it out of Robotics somewhat. It's already quite a busy department what with looking after the borgs, people requesting that they or a buddy they dragged along is borged, swiping bodies from the cloner, eye surgery, limb replacement, people requesting robot hearts, building little robots for tasks that come up or dealing with staff assistants that decide to break in. I propose three potential solutions:

- Make augmentation it's own job. It can live next door to robotics. Not the best idea as it's a little over-specialised as the game stands.
- Spread the workload throughout medbay. Robotics can still be in charge of creating borg limbs and has exclusive access to the machine translation implant, but all the stuff exclusively meant for people (cybereyes, cyberheart, other cyberorgans and implants) can live in the medical fabricator for normal doctors to make and add to people on request.
- The AUG-4-U auto-surgery booth. It lives in the medbay lobby, you pay your money (augmentations vary in price, health monitor implant would be the cheapest at around $100), step inside and the machine performs the procedure. You could put a lot of the basic augmentations in here and have more technical or risky augs (such as the cyberheart) require an actual doctor. It also gives you something to spend your money on.

okay one, robutts already exist and they already do all they need to do (make your farts sound like cyborg farts)
two, if you want buttpockets hippie already has those and we won't be having them too, thanks

alterntively model it lke the auto-doc from fallout NV. emagged, it traps you in and carves you up until someone frees you (like what happens to christine in the dead money dlc) dealing brute damage and maybe removing limbs (but maybe not killing you)

a suicide that simply removes all your limbs and organs would also be funny

[Nnystyxx]

I did actually wonder about the idea of a surgery booth. Emagging/suicide just ripping you apart instead is my ideal future, and also it really would cut the roboticists some slack. In my perfect world, the augs are more accessible to doctors or just common folk and the roboticists can make some fun modular robutts that were detailed in another thread.
