Medical beamgun not working on robotic limbs

Post by Fatal » #491980

This could be intended or a bug, but, I'm not sure so here goes

The medical beamgun heals all things, including CYBORGS, but does not heal robotic limbs at all, nor does it heal androids (not that you see them very much)

Most people don't know this, so anyone using the medical beamgun (usually the mech one) will heal people with it and not realise, so it should probably be fixed to either not heal cyborgs, or heal robotic limbs

It really shouldnt heal cyborgs TBH.

Downside of robotic parts is supposed to be immunity to biological healing in exchange for the flat -5 brute damage and -4 burn damage to the limb in question.

on the other hand, if it heals cyborgs it should heal mechs too, oddy can now be a part of a mech squad

Maybe you could have it like energy guns where you can switch modes, so a biological heal mode and an mechanical heal mode. Either that or have a variant of the beamgun that works and mechanical beings

I expect that it healing cyborgs is the oversight rather than it not healing robotic limbs
