Can Robotics be Saved?

The idea of limb modules does sound interesting, and it also immediately makes me think about being able to find some in space/being able to get them as a syndicate. I definitely think you'd have to insert the upgrades into the limb when its detached, to encourage people actually getting put under the knife.

even having a more detailed system with like, screwing open the "maintenance" hatch of cyber limbs/organs to cut/pulse or even attach signallers too could be pretty interesting. Also would be a good replacement to "i hit this heart a bunch till it JUST broke enough to give me funny emag effects". It also gives something fun for an antag roboticist to do, like if the captain came in to get, a new heart lets say, and you sabotaged/installed a signaller so you can send a signal to induce short failure/stamina loss. You could also have these wires be randomised per round, so if a roboticist wanted to figure out what improves and what renders them non-functional they would need to do some testing on monkeys, which would encourage some interaction with genetics.

I have NO IDEA how hard that would be to code, i just personally think it could provide some other avenues as a traitor roboticist instead of just syndiborgs and it sounds cool.

I want the experience of having cyborg parts being something where you're signing on for at least one check in if not more with the robotocist, so they tweak, upgrade, or repair things.

I think maybe if there were research, part of it should be collecting field data from people that opt in to cyborg parts. That data passively collected as they use their new limbs and organs, and fuels what upgrades and be researched. Notify your patients as upgrades become available
