TGMC:Guide to Reparing Robots

This page is a part of the TGMC wiki. TGMC is a project based on the CM-SS13 codebase.

Not all crew are organic, and even some Organic Crew have had the misfortune to lose a limb and receive a prosthetic replacement.

Robotic Personnel and limbs alike can not be healed or repaired with your standard medicine, and instead require a little bit of Engineering to restore them back to full integrity.

Repairing Robots

Robots, Synths or Marines with prosthetic limps require the attention of an Engineer or similar equipped crew to Repair them. Robots have the same revive timer as normal humans (5 minutes) but can not get CPR to extend the timer. Synthetics have an infinite revive timer even if it says they are cold they can still be revived.

Tools and Repair equipment.

Robotic Repair Tools

Repair Tool	Description and Use	Repair Amount
Welding Tool	Welder to repair brute. Consumes fuel to repair. Standard welders hold 20 fuel, larger welders can be found in engineering supplies. 1 second use time on others, 3 seconds to self apply Does not require protective gear (welding goggles.) Does not require engineering skills to use for repair	Consumes 2 fuel to repairs 15 Brute per application, to targeted limb.
Cable Coil	Cable Coils repair burns. Can be found stacks up to 30. 1 second use time on others, 3 seconds to self apply. Does not require protective gear (insulated gloves.) Does not require engineering skills to use for repair.	Each application consumes 1 cable coil and repairs 15 burn damage to targeted limb.
Nanopaste	Nanopaste heals brute and burn damage in the selected part of the body. Comes stacks of up to 10. Takes 1 second to apply others and yourself. Does not loop. (Will not attempt to reapply automatically.) Does not require any special equipment or skills to heal. Medical might kill you if you steal their surgery nanopaste to heal a Combat Robot.	Repairs 15 brute and 15 burn per application to targeted limb.
Defibrillator	Defibrillators can revive disabled (Dead) Robots and Synthetics. Has an internal power cell with 1000W charge. Consumes 66 power per revival attempt (Success or Fail) (15 uses per charge) Can only revive Synth if Brute and Burn damage total is below 200. Will always revive Combat Robots, setting their health to 1. Requires Medical Skills to use effectively, non-medical personnel will fumble and take longer to use.	On successful use, revives the Robot or Synth

How to Repair

First, Identify a Robot, Synth or Prosthetic that is damaged and needs repair. HealthHUD will help with this, and examining a Marine and seeing a Prosthetic Limb will also help.

Next, you need to determine what kind of damage the limb has. A Health Scanner will show you exactly what kind of damage the limb has, but examining the limb and seeing it is Dented will indicate Brute Damage to the limb. If the Limb is charred, then Burn damage is present.

Target the Limb that is damaged, or you want to repair first if multiple limbs are damaged, and use the appropriate tool on help intent until the limb is completely healed of that damage type, you will be informed the lack of damage.
