[1.5] Rah's Bionics and Surgery Expansion - v3.3 (April 11th, 2024)

[Ruisuki]

if you need hyperweave i believe vegetable gardens fabrics(i THINK its a standalone module if you dont want the whole mod) allows you to create hyperweave from vanilla plants, along with other types of cloth. Skullywags Extended fabrics also allows the creation of hyperweave i believe. So I think it'd be a good idea to check out if you are having trouble finding those mats.

That's an option. But it might make it too easy to get hyperweave though, so beware of that.

One Question :

Why do I need the Advanced Workbench to craft Powerfists, but the Powerarm is on the Basic Workbench ?

small hotfix to lite edition. new research now works properly.

I'm guessing you're referring to the power claw. That's something that was left unchanged from epoe, but it's something I might look into again. However, the power arm is very strong, so in a way it makes sense to restrict access to it, although you can still make it early if you buy power claws from traders.

Very nice mod.

Definitely an improvement over the original EPOE.

Yeap, thats what I meant.
True, the Powerarm is very strong, but the lesser impact on Manipulation makes me prefer the Powerclaw.
Also it is cheaper in resources, compared to the Powerarm.
If it's a balance issue for you, I propose you move the Claw on the Basic Table,
but let it require a Bionic Hand.
And move the PowerArm to the Advanced Table.

Also, I just revived the Wive of my main researcher from her one year coma, after rushing my Tribals through to Brain Surgery.
Awesome, thanks for that

Idea for limb rehabilitation addition we talked about earlier, if you do decide to implement it one day: Just to differentiate from other mods; have 'training objects' such as treadmills, canes, dumbells to speed up the rate for new attatched limbs to regain efficiency. I dont think theres any way to reflect fitness in game, so maybe for non bionic colonists slight melee gain. Just an idea.

Thanks buddy !

There are two power arms in the mod, so I can't have them both require the advanced table. I think it's pretty balanced the way it is at the moment. The power arm is as strong as a scyther blade and it gives 20% more manipulation when installed on both arms. The advanced power arm gives you 40% more manipulation and 8 more damage. But I will consider moving the power claw recipe down to the bionics table. Anyway, good luck with the coma patient. She will never be the same, but at least she's up and moving again !

I don't think I can start adding fitness and gym equipment to this mod, but I might make another mod with organ rejection and some sort of limb rehabilitation later.

Hey Rah!

How many glitterworld medicine do I need to cure a scar?

I'm on permadeath, really want to know how much I'm paying to remove some scars./

Hi that_axe, it says so on the front page. You need 3 glitterworld medicine per scar removal, 2 if you're using the Lite edition. And you need to research Regenerative medicine to perform the surgeries.

[That_Axe]

Oh, damn. I'm sorry, I completely missed that.

All good buddy, enjoy <3
