About the PR

  • You can use the health analyzer and swap to your other hand(s). The brings consistency since the MedTek cartridge can already do this. QoL for medical cyborgs and clueless medical interns.
  • The chemical module now comes with a jet injector and spots for pills and/or pill bottles, giving medical cyborgs the ability to administer pills.
  • The advanced surgery now also comes with soap, just like the normal surgery module.
  • The surgery and advanced surgery module now is able to pick up an organ.

Addresses #4479

Why / Balance

Can the Advanced Surgical Module be given a medical multitool? The Cyborg really does need some better surgery speed

The advanced tools give the same speedboost and it counts as holding them all at once so it doesn't need one last I knew

The medical multitool is 2x as fast, while the advanced tools are 1.5x as fast and since he's holding all the advanced tools at once anyways, it doesn't matter if he has the medical multitool. Except for that higher speed of course.

The medical borg is already very good at doing literally everything medical lol. It already gets AA, will be getting a crew monitor (so it can paramed better than parameds), and gets a hypo, something other medical staff don't get. It doesn't really need it for the reason Avalon said too.

The issue is that currently, Mediborgs will be twice as slow compared to a surgeon, because they cannot put on the mechanical surgical gloves.
Surgeons can have a max speed of 1.5 (tools) x 2 (gloves) x 1.5 (operating table) = 4.5x speed.
However, a mediborg can only get up to 2.25x speed. With the multitool, they could achieve a speed of 3x. Still slower than the Surgeon, but at least not that much slower.

PR it, math nerd!

tbh though, I don't think it matter that much.
