Guide to synthetic surgery

Jump to navigation Jump to search

All surgery requires a set of tools, printable in an autolathe or engineering/science protolathe, along with an operating table.

Surgery Speed and Failure

For every tool, there are ghetto analogues. The percentages listed next to them show success rate. For example, if it says "50%" the step has a 50% chance to succeed or fail. These percentages stack with the percentage point bonus or malus from using different tables or chemicals (see Beginning of any Operation).

Beginning of any Operation

Step 1: Operating Table Place the patient onto the operating table. Do this by selecting grab intent. Then click the patient twice in a row until you have an aggressive grab. Then left-click the operating table to place the patient on it. Switch back to help intent or your surgery will fail.

Step 2: Drapes Bedsheet Place drapes or bedsheet over the part of body you are operating.

Step 3: Help Intent Switch to help intent. (Other intents will fail the step or even hit your patient!)

Step 4: Target Aim at the appropriate body part (important!).

Step 5: Wrench Do the surgery (see the steps below!).


To abort a surgery, hold a screwdriver in one hand and drapes in the other, and use the drapes on the patient.


Organ Manipulation

This surgery covers operations to remove/insert organs (brain, heart, appendix), lizard/cat tails, and cyber implants.
The body part to target depends on which procedure you want to do.
See below for details about each procedure.

Ordinary organs that require Organ Manipulation

These organs are present in every normal synthetic and can be removed or transferred through the Organ Manipulation surgery type.

Brain Posibrain

The source of consciousness, and where the player actually resides. Removing the brain from a body will make it unrevivable through normal means. The brain can also be inserted into an MMI to allow it to speak, and to prepare it to be inserted into a Cyborg or an AI. Or it can be transferred into another body, which can then be revived.

The brain of a synthetic patient resides in their chest, meaning they can theoretically be decapitated and remain functional, albeit deaf, blind, and mute.


Target: Chest Target: Chest

Note: Brains can also be removed by beheading the target and using a sharp object on the head to extract the brain.


Hydraulic Pump Engine (Heart) File:Heart ipc.png

Required for basic survival, removing it will cause a heart attack, dealing huge amounts of oxygen damage until a new heart is inserted, or death.

Target: Chest


Robotic Eyes (Eyes)

They're required for sight. Removing them will, obviously, turn the patient blind. Some races' eyes can see in the dark.

Target: Eyes


Auditory Sensors(Ears) File:Ears ipc.png

Required for hearing. Removing them will make the patient deaf.

Target: Head


Reagent Processing Unit File:Liver ipc.png

Required for processing reagents. Removing the liver will cause the patient to take heavy toxin damage.

Target: Chest


Heat Sink (Lungs) File:Lungs ipc.png

Required for breathing. Removing the lungs will cause the patient to suffocate, regardless of air or internals.

Target: Chest


IPC Micro Cell (Stomach) File:Stomach ipc.png

Required for eating and drinking.

Target: Chest


Robotic Voicebox (Tongue) File:Tongue ipc.png

Affects speech. Lacking a tongue will make speech very hard to comprehend, while mutant tongues such as lizards' or flypeoples' will give the patient the race's speech quirks. Abductors' tongues carry over their telepathy, but they prevent normal speech.

Target: Mouth

Cybernetic Organs

Cybernetic organs replace organs entirely. You need to remove the corresponding organ first to make room for the cybernetic organ. They are vulnerable to EMPs. Cybernetic organs can be printed by Robotics or the medbay techfab after research.

Target: Chest/Eyes
