More Frankenscience is Needed.

To me, as someone who has no knowledge of coding, that sounds like where it truly turns to being a gun-in-the-mouth thing. Standardizing the entire system means redoing/replacing almost all of the system that's already in place, heck, that's why a lot of real-life stuff doesn't get standardized.

The benefits though... maybe something to consider more long term? the options and possibilities it'd open...
Maybe it could start with brains. seems like a good place to start.
Human player brain = Keep the same
Monkey brain = assigns monkey AI to whatever it is put into
Human NPC brains = assigns Shittybill etc. AI to whatever it is put into
Synthbrain = assigns plant AI to whatever it is but into.
Wendigo brain = Assigns wendigo AI into whatever it is put into.
