* Cybernetic brains for androids (#79421) ## About The Pull Request A while ago, androids were changed to have robotic eyes and ears rather than organic ones, for obvious reasons. But androids still have one organic organ left; the brain. This PR adds a new cybernetic brain organ, currently only used by androids. It has most of the benefits of robotic organs, such as not rotting, but it also has the drawbacks, like being unaffected by chemicals (mannitol being the big one) and being somewhat vulnerable to EMPs. In terms of EMP vulnerability, the brains are pretty safe. They take 10 brain damage per light EMP, capped at 20 total brain damage. They take 20 damage from each heavy EMP, capped at 100 total. This should allow for EMPs to be debilitating without making them lethal when spammed. Normal brains can be repaired by pouring mannitol over them, but obviously this doesn't make sense for robotic brains. Instead, you can use a multitool to repair removed robot brains. I'm still workshopping ways to repair the brain without totally removing it. I had an idea for new cybernetic organ repair surgeries, but it would also make more sense to put all that in a separate PR. Here is a picture of the new brain, with a normal brain for comparison:  ## Why It's Good For The Game The robotic species should actually have entirely robotic parts, and other people might come up with cool uses for this that I haven't thought of. ## Changelog :cl: add: Androids now have robotic brains instead of organic brains. /:cl: * Cybernetic brains for androids --------- Co-authored-by: GPeckman <[email protected]>

Can it be placed into an AI block? Cause circuitboard can not.. |

Why It's Good For The Game
The robotic species should actually have entirely robotic parts, and other people might come up with cool uses for this that I haven't thought of.
