Droid Engineer Archive

I used to be able to pull out my R2 unit with med mods on it to heal wounds in a cantina. It no longer works for that. At first I just thought it was my droid not working right, so I bought a 2-1B Med Droid with med mods and I still can't heal wounds in the cantina or starport or out in the open, etc. Yes I did try recharging the batteries and still nothing. Any ideas?

Med droids havent worked in cantinas in a long long time

Yes, but why won't it work out in the open? i got several angry people wanting my head because their med modules won't work.

They should work everywhere actually. But they have been busted since the beginning. Sometimes they work outside sometimes not. When i sell one i always give the following disclaimer "This droid will not work in cantinas. It sometimes wont work outside. Sometimes it will. Mostly its to enhance your medical capabilities in a hospital or camp. This droid does not replace a medic/doctor. You have to be one for it to work"

Sure i have lost orders but i havent had to refund their money either. And i still make and sell 110 medical droids.

The batteries are run down -- get a droid battery and select recharge on your droid's radial menu.

Med modules stop working when the batteries are down, and don't work in NPC cantinas. They work fine in player cantinas.

I didnt think the med fuction required batteries

Yeah they def need batteries for the med modules to function as well. That is probably all that was wrong.

is that what it means when you pull out a droid and it says "Customization fades a little" ? It's running out/out of batteries?

The Droid Customisation fades a little message relates to if you have used a "Droid Cusomisation Kit" on the droid to change its frame colour etc. The paint job currently fades after 20 calls of the droid and begins to fade after a few calls.

This message also appears from the moment a droid has been made, even if it hasn't had a paint job. This is an annoying little bug. Couple this with the random colour scheme bug (both have been reported to the devs) and you get one of the most frequently asked queries from DE customers...It has nothing to do with batteries i believe.

General advice, its a small bug ignore it until (cross fingers) it is fixed in the upcoming patches

Ive experienced this once or twice and was always in a Player City, Cantina, or Starport. Not being able to use them in the cantina makes sense, it would put the hospital out of business. I think it has to do with being able to call droids in the open such as in a P.C. or starport. When it happened to me I ran out of the P.C. and the med function returned after a store and camp call.

I'm currently dealing with a customer whose droid lost the medical rating completely. It disappeared from his droid. This was a newly (last week) crafter Adv R3 with lvl 6 storage, lvl 6 medical and the 4 crafting stations in it.

Cantinas do NOT work for a droid. However they do seem to work everwhere else. Obviously there is no need in a hospital except for crafting which does seem to work everwhere. If anyone has seen diferent please let me know

Not true.

If you have a 110% medical rating, you will function at 110% efficiency.

If you don't think the med rating affects how well you heal, drop a level 1 healing mod into a mouse droid, go into a hospital, pull it out, and try some healing....
