Head attachment surgery

[WarbossLincoln]

Add a surgical procedure that will attach a severed head onto a living body. If a soul is in the brain it will come back to life. The original player controls movement. Each player controls 1 arm. From their perspective it will play like they had an arm cut off. The second player's head slots will be unique to them, but they will share body slots(if this is possible to code, I imagine it could be.) If that's not doable just have the second player have no control over other body slots.

Good idea! But how to deal with sprites?

[ShadowDimentio]

Heads already track whose they are and what they look like, updating the sprite after reattachment should be easy.

Wait I thought this was for reattaching heads to decapitated bodies, but it's actually for putting multiple people in one body. Bad idea, 1: don't have the sprites for it and 2: is too body horror IMO

I think, that if we want to make medbay great again, we shouldn't make health care more hard.
There is 25 century. Often it's easier to clone someone than heal him. Come on.
Instead, medicine should focus on making patients better, than they ever been.
So instead of fucking with broken bones, we should give more frankenshtein fuel to medbay. Attaching more heads,limbs,tails, new artifical organs, possibly taken from otherwordly creatures.
There SHOULD be MUCH more body horror.
How about idea to attach second cyborg head with BORIS to every assistant?Or to 20 monkeys?
That's fun work for doctors.

code wise this is and always will be a massive headache

sorry

This definitely feels like the kind of thing where there will be a ton of code issues that routinely pop up for things that weren't anticipated. How to handle internals would be one.
