Yes that was exactly what i though when i decided to start making this mod tsilliev and i love your ideas especially the stocks and yes i plan to make it that you can buy rimworld because Rimception. There is alot i wish to do and i want to have feedback all the way this is my 3rd mod but i want to take it far as it has alot of potential i believe so the more i learn the better this mod will become. A big Part i want to make is the neural processors and programs that effect them so for example you install one on a colonist you then install the "No cares" Program and the colonist is always happy but his shooting and Mella go down. If you want to help i am more then happy for you to msg me what you think you can do as i am i need of textures as i am a shocking artist but keep the ideas coming and tell me what you want to see and we can see if we can make it a reality in this mod.
Yes I like the idea, at the end your colonists become borgs, from star trek, mechanized right eye, brain implants, half mechanized body, they are more ressitant to attacks and they dont feel bad just obey, but are generally slow in almost everything.
So you could make brain implant that increases shooting skills, but takes longer to compute the variables of the target and then shoot, ie slows his shooting down.
I can give other examples, but at the end, we need a balance, but at the end, if he haves many brain implants, overall he will become more of a cyborg or a robot, and we know that robots are not so quick when it comes to growing,cooking,researching,socializing or being artist, but better at shooting,melee,crafting,construction and medicine. Makes them run faster and be able to take more damage,endure pain and eliminate mental breakout.
colonists should program brain implant chips before they are implanted in brain,
and maybe program AI core then create it (ofcourse that would not be a cheap process) for droids or something else
Its good idea too, making a drone with only one skill, like only grower or shooter, but cant have social,researcher,artistic. And he may not be able to learn and improve further the skill.
