Droid Engineer Archive

Im not too sure on this complete.

Could someone list the modules and what they do, exactly?

And whats the difference between a medical module and a surgical droid?

I"ll do the best I can, but remember I'm at work and am doing this from Memory so chances are I will miss one or two..

Modules:

Medical - This allows any person with BASE MEDIC SKILLS to heal someone outside of a hospital or camp. This WILL NOT turn the droid into a healing pet that will heal you in battle. Even after a month I still get 4 tells a day from people wondering why their droid won't heal them. There are 6 lvls of medical modules, the higher the lvl the higher the bonus that is added to a Medic while healing.

Storage (Item) - This lets a droid hold an item from your inventory. There are upto 6 Different levels of storage module and I would assume that varying lvls would yield a large capacity for items. As this is yet working as intended I don't know for sure.

Storage (Data) - Same as Item storage but this one stores items off your datapad, schmatics, waypoints..etc..

Crafting - There are four types, structure, food, weapon, clothing..This basically turns any droid into a mobile crafting station provided the droid can accept the module. Some droids take modules and some do not.

A surgical droid is just a model name. As of right now the surgical droid offers no "bonus" to a medic. An R5 with a medical module and a surgical droid with a medical module will still offer you the same abilities. I would assume later on the devs will give the surgical droid some special ability to make it unique.

The advantage of a Surgical droid has say to an R5 is the ability to hold 2 modules, my best selling droid is a Surgical Droid with a medical module and a food crafting module. This allows medics to not only heal in the field but make stimpak D's right on the spot.

Very useful info, Many thanks for helping me out.

Depends on the droid, some droids take the modules directly. Some you need to build into a harness, and some take a combination of the two. For the R3, you'll build 2 combat module harnesses with 3 modules each. And those 2 harnesses will go into the droid.

I am an incredible DE noob and I hate asking questions unless I absolutely can't figure it out through reading.

I am trying to create R3 advanced bomb droids. From my understanding I create Detonation modules, craft them into general droid modules? So I put6 Det. Modules into two General Modules, then craft that into the final droid?

You have to put them into combat clusters. General clusters do not work in R-unit droids.

Clarification: detonation module x3 -> into acombat cluster-> into the droid (which will take two full clusters).
