==Surgery==

To initiate most surgeries, first place [[File:Drapes.png|Drapes]]'''drapes''' over the part of the body you are operating on.

Despite what some old-timer Roboticists may tell you, <b>DO NOT JUST TAKE THE BONESAW AND CUT THEIR HEAD OFF WITHOUT SURGERY.</b> Removing a brain without surgery will damage it and may result in the immediate death of the brain.

In case this happens, you will need to ask the [[Chemist]] to make some [[Mannitol]] to fix it. Once you have a beaker of it, just splash it on the brain and it should be good to go. You can always examine the brain to see if it is still damaged.


If a head is not attached to a body, you can simply use a [[File:Scalpel.png|Scalpel]]scalpel or some other slicing/cutting item on it to cut the brain out. No need for drapes or table.

=== Limb Augmentation ===

Replace a limb with a robot part. The head, torso, arms, and legs can all be augmented. Augmenting torso makes you immune to appendicitis and xeno larva.<br> Robot limbs are tougher. They need welding to "heal" brute damage and wires for burn damage, and cannot be otherwise healed. EMP pulses will hurt augmented humans.
