A pull request commissioned by the Synthetic Lore Team to comprehensively rework synthetics (read: IPCs) and how they work in Aurora. The objective is to make IPCs as unique as possible from humans, upgrading the robotic feel and atmosphere, while also preserving a good sense of balance in-game.

Key features:

  • A comprehensive expansion of synthetic organs, all of which now fulfill a purpose: hydraulics, cooling units, power systems, actuators, diagnostics units.
  • Customizable organs with benefits and drawbacks, such as with cooling units and power systems.
  • Unique ways to repair the organs and more involved steps.
  • Unique damage mechanics - every organ has wiring and electronics which affect its functioning, and they are defended by plating which provides natural armour.
  • Improved and immersive diagnostics.
  • Unique features, benefits, and drawbacks for every IPC frame.
  • A rework of the positronic brain, which can be either destroyed or shut down, alongside effects caused by low integrity.
  • A rework of how EMPs affect IPC organs.
  • Non-binary damage states for each organ.

To-do:

  • Finish the unique features for each frame.
  • Look into if mechanical synthskin is possible.
  • Power system.
  • Posibrain mechanics.
  • Passive cooling expansion.
  • EMP mechanics.
  • Repair mechanics.
  • Mob weight mechanics.
  • Gurney for heavy mobs.
  • New augments.
  • IPC tag scanning and flashing.

The wireless interaction with bishops has some unintentional features and oversights. Can remotely siphon from APCs, and a large amount of buttons on the Horizon lack ID restriction. Think the lack of access was an intentional feature? But nonetheless, this means Bishops can open areas like the Security Office, Commissary, Representative and Consular offices, the HR meeting room, and the Captain's office simply by pressing the button remotely from outside. Probably a gigantic security risk.
