About The Pull Request

  • Cyborgs can pull chests from dying tendrils
  • Cyborgs can summon elite bosses
  • Cyborgs can knock and go visit necropolis
  • Cyborg can scan, and summon mining vents.
  • Mining cyborgs are given a 'knife' onto their PKA so they can gut creatures
  • Mining cyborgs are given a subtype of the organ storage container which can only pick up and use monster core organs

Why It's Good For The Game

Mining cyborgs are in a weird state currently. They feel rather nute to play in comparasion to a normal miner, they can't reach the same mining speeds as a miner at any given point, they can't interact with the various fauna and creatures for basic ores or loot, (think watchers), they can't even effectively fight the creatures.

This Pr gives them the bare function to actually begin interacting with the basics of mining. WITHOUT making their on-station presence more painful. Simply allowing them to be a bit more independent without a human miner to help.

They can gut various fauna for their ore or organs with the knife on their PKA, PKA gaining properties of the survival knife with worse wounding. To which it's the same damage as the mining drill so there's no buff there.

They can apply said organs with their core storage apparatus, however it doesn't prevent rot, meaning whichever core they pick up will have to be applied soon. Limiting it's station use
They can interact with mining vents, tendrils for chests, summon elites and sentient ones, and knock on the necropolis's door. If trying to do so however is a good idea, is however a separate question. But for the sadists until they get something better it's there.
