Thread: surgical droids
only if the module has been installed.
there is a specific food/chem station module that will turn any droid into a crafting station.
do surgical droids now heal damage and wounds by themselves, without a need for medical skills? if not, did devs say anything if they **EVER*** will?
thanks
The droid frame does not matter, so only choose a surgical droid if you like the shape, as said the module is all that matters.
If you want cheap get a MSE droid with the same modules.
If you want expensive get a prosot droid with the same modules and some armor. That way it can last in battles, if it gets attacked.
I definately suggest (with the droid permadeath now in place) to go with either a more expensive probot that won't die right out, or a cheap MSE droid that can be sacrificed with little cost. Today I spent 15k on a surgical droid and while in camp a Giant gubber whomped it out iwth one hit. Then, if you can beleive it, some schmuck came along and killed the gubber. I couldn't even exact my wrath and vengence for my lost droid.

I paid $16k for my surgical droid with the following attributes:
- food/chem crafting station
- level 115 rating
- worship personality chip
This has without question been one of my best purchases as a doctor. Now I can make great meds anytime/anywhere. I can also heal about anywhere.
However, as the above posts note, I recommend only pulling your droid out in safe areas and when you're not overt/TEF. I lost my last $15k one because I was TEF and someone shot it while I was healing others. Just be careful with it and you'll find it a great purchase.
If you want something just to run with you so you can do minor healing/create meds, get an MSE mouse droid.

I was thinking that some time ago the Devs posted an update that would theoretically allow surgical droids to heal damage for you. Was I just drunk that day or something? I just (finnally) got a factory, and then got past the factory bug so I could get my components to build that bloody adv. droid brain. I was hoping that maybe something would work as intended, but alas I am sadly disappointed again. Is there some secret, or was I just completely out of my mind when I read those update notes, or was it theoretically there and just still broken???
Quite frustrated...
