The MD's HealBuddies!

[robertGN]

Mr. MD, the rival of the RD, has never had reliable relentless followers!

Well, that is no longer a problem! I present to you, the HealBuddy

DMI can be downloaded here, if you want to look at everything I guess. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/844 ... Buddy_.rar

This little guy is the opposite of the evil GuardBuddies! They will escort any chosen person and heal them when they get injured! They even has customizable commands, much like a GuardBuddy!

Heal_Script: The HealBuddy will guard whoever the programmer designates! Want to protect a man with valuable information? Assign him a HealBuddy!
Heal_Patrol: The HealBuddy will follow the same route as a GuardBuddy would, and heals people who look a bit injured. Sounds overpowered? Read the Drawbacks later.
Heal_Recall: All currently assigned HealBuddies will return to their charging/Synthesize station
No purge script, as Patrol serves that function.

Now, I bet you are wondering, "Wow! This sounds like a great idea, but what stops it from being simply overpowered?" Well, the HealBuddies don't have UNLIMITED chemicals.
In fact, its quite limited, and to gain more, they need to head to a Recharge/Synthesize station to gain more chemicals, and synthesizing chemicals can take quite a long time (If I had to choose, up to 10 minutes would be my choice.) Stuff like patrolling would obviously use a ton of chemicals, and the buddies would probably only be outside of their recharging area for a little bit before returning to restock.

I really like the ideas I came up with, but you are all probably MUCH better than I am at coming up with ideas, and balancing these cool things out.

Sorry if my post is pretty ranty I am really tired and wanted to get this out of the way.

MediBuddies!

With the new position of the guardbuddy depot, I'm surprised that there isn't a Positronic Systems vendor that can sell buddy modules like this or the SafetyBuddy system to the station.

[Broodlines]

imo we need more buddies and medibuddies sound fun so yes totally

[Dabir]

Yeah, move medibots over to the buddy system.

[Anticheese]

Make medibuddy mainboards and guardbuddy mainboards separate things that inform their behaviour, but they both take the same kind of tool modules.

I want to see some sabotage where the guardbuddies get changed up to be doctors, and the docbuddies...

I really like the idea. What chems you thinking about. Standard bot set? Selectable? I'd also like to see some way to customization on parameters. Salbutamol on >50 OXY damage, saline for shock patients, and maybe even give em' paddles so they can shock people's hearts.

That being said, I would still like at least a heckle counterpart. Borgs roaming chasing after a person while acting like an overprotective parent. "Did you wash behind your ears sweetheart?" "Who's my wittle baby?" "Now make sure to eat your veggies!"

Actually, now that I think about it, can you even enable set a patrolling heckle? I just remember them doing either-or. Haven't messed with em in a while.

Grandma mode. Instead of hugging you, they pinch your cheeks

Is it with or without purge active?
