Ideas / Robotics, Bionics and Brains (Oh, my)
February 17, 2015, 01:36:59 AM
Hey, so, I've been thinking about a lot of stuff concerning the tech aspects of the game.
1) Robotics
So, we've got centipedes, we've got scythers, and they both hate us with all their mechanical hearts. But why can't we be friends? My thinking is that, with the help of some young joywirer, we should be able to rewire a couple of scythers or centipedes to come along and help us in a fight, or maybe get a few assembly drones working here and there.
2) Bionics.
Yes, we have eyes, arms, legs etc etc. But what about the other parts? I've had tons of definitely nonrecoverable injuries done to my colonists heads and torsos, but they always seem to get over the occasional cracked skull or whatever with a bandage and a good nights sleep. There needs to be more bionic stuff, man. Bionic skulls, which add extra protection to brain, nose etc, or bionic torso, or bionic ears or something.
3) Brains
On the subject of cracked skulls, have you ever noticed how easy it is for a shot to the head to make one of your colonists brain dead? Like, not even the sad kind of brain dead, where you have to let your old friend die because s/he can't possibly live without the medical bed they're in, but the annoying kind of brain dead, when they move 1/4 speed and keep wandering out into nowhere. There needs to be some sort of brain recovery neurotrainer, or maybe the possibility of a brain transplant, although that could be rather unpredictable.

Anyway, these are just musings. People, tell me what you think. You too, Tynan.
