* Preterni, like IPCs, are sustained by power, rather than typical nutrition. They can feed off of power cells, APCs, SMES cells, mechs, or cyborgs by using ALT+CLICK with an empty hand. Insulated gloves will prevent this recharge, while other gloves will slow the rate of recharge. In addition, an inducer applied to the chest will charge them as well, though this inflicts burn damage to the preternis. | * Preterni, like IPCs, are sustained by power, rather than typical nutrition.

== Repairing and Revival == | |||
As preternis are abnormal organics, listed here are steps to heal them, and perhaps revive them, should they come under your care as any of the various [[Jobs#Medical|Medical]] jobs. | |||
===== Preternis Repairs ===== | |||
* Burn Damage | |||
** [[File:CableCoils.png]]Cable coils | |||
** Oil | |||
** Welding fuel (will cause toxin damage) | |||
* Brute Damage | |||
** [[File:Welder.png]]Welders | |||
* Toxin Damage | |||
** Standard organic procedure; charcoal is most common | |||
* Brain Damage | |||
** Standard organic procedure; mannitol is most common | |||
===== Organs, Surgery, and Revival ===== | |||
Preternis organs will decay at the standard rate that organic ones do while deceased. Beyond their uniquely designed eyes and lungs, all of their other organs are identical to ones found in your average human. | |||
As they have a mechanical exterior, one must perform mechanical variations of the standard surgeries. For example, one of the most common surgeries, Organ Manipulation, follows [[Surgery|these adjusted steps]] as a result. It may be helpful to secure a toolbox or enlist the aid of [[Roboticist|Robotics]] in order to undertake these surgeries. | |||
Revival is standard as in other organics. Most common is application of defibrillator once damage is healed, but be aware that the other, more uncommon methods, such as [[Surgery#Revival|Revival]] surgery, are also effective. | |||
