Surgery

Revision as of 15:54, 25 July 2023 by Kettle (talk | contribs)

All surgery requires a set of medical tools, typically found in the Operating Theatre, along with an operating table. Should the surgery tools be missing, more can be printed from the techfab in Medbay Storage.

Surgical Tools

Information about every tool used in surgery can be found here.

For every tools there are ghetto analogues. Using them lowers chances of performing a surgical step correctly, wounding your patient. Hover your cursor over the item's picture to see its name. Next to the items are the success rates.

Surgery Success Chances

Surgery success chances follow the following formula: (Surface + Chem) * Tool Success Chance

Surface refers to the surface the surgery is taking place on, whether it be an operating table, a bed or even the floor. The highest value will be used when multiple are taken into account (ex: Surgery done to someone on a tile with both a table and a bed will take the table's 80% over the bed's 70%. This applies even if they aren't buckled to the surface).

Chem refers to any applied chemicals applied via touch, vapor, or patches to the patient during the surgery (IV injecting a chemical or injecting it with a syringe will not count towards this value). This will not stack, and will only choose the highest applied chemical value.

Tool Success Chance is the chance of success intrinsically tied to a given tool. Surgical grade equipment is generally the best, and ghetto analogues are generally discouraged unless very desperate.

Beginning of any Operation

Step 1: Operating Table Place the patient onto the operating table (or have them just climb onto the table). Do this by selecting grab Intent Grab.png 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 Help.png intent or your surgery will fail.

  • If there is no operating table, you can use: stasis bed (100%), any table (80%), any bed (70%), ask them to lie on the floor (50%). Operating tables give a 100% surface value.

Step 2: Exposed the patient's appropriate body part. This could vary from simply having the patient take off their headwear, to having them fully strip (This can be performed at any point in the surgery prior to Step 7, but it's faster that they strip rather than have you slowly strip them).

Step 2: Sleeping Agent Sedate the patient using a tank of anesthetic and any breath mask or inject them with Morphine. Keeping your patient awake for most surgeries will result in a 50% (100% if the step is failed) chance to cause a minor screw-up, causing damage and a chance for bleeding depending on how intensive the surgery step is. Pain killers such as (and currently only) Miner's Salve and the alcoholic drink Painkiller reduce the chance by half, and being unconscious for any reason reduces it by a fifth. Getting your patient drunk will also offset the slip-up chance depending on how drunk they are. If the patient has a disease containing the symptom Analgesia or the brain trauma Tenacity, they will count as being fully anesthetized.

Step 3: Help Intent Switch to help intent. Pro tip: Disarm intent will fail every surgery step.

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

Step 5: Click on the target with the tool that is used in the first step of the operation. For example, use the scalpel Scalpel to begin organ manipulation.

Step 6 (optional): Ethanol (Optional) Splash on, spray or apply a patch with Miner's Salve (+10%), Sterilizine (+20%), alcoholic drinks (up to +46%), or Honey (+60%) to improve your success chance. This must be done after the surgery has been chosen or during the surgery itself in order for the bonus to be considered.

  • The stronger the alcohol, the more effective! The formula is: 0.1*(booze power/65). For example: Ethanol gives +10% success chance, Manly Dorf +15%, Bacchus' Blessing +46%.

Step 7: Scalpel Do the surgery (see the steps below!). Afterwards congratulate the patient and kick them out.

  • Note that increases from the surface used and chemicals applied are multiplicatively applied to a tool's success chance, so adding sterilizer for a 20% success bonus while operating on an operating table or stasis bed will increase a tool's success chance from for example 80% to 96% rather than 80% to 100%.
  • Success boosts from chemicals additionally will not stack with other chemicals, only the highest increase is applied.


To abort a surgery, use the cautery in hand.

Organ Manipulation

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

Ordinary organs that require Organ Manipulation

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

Brain BrainAlien brain

The source of consciousness, and where the player actually resides. Removing the brain from a body will make it unclonable 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 cloned or defibrillated with the new host.

Changelings' brains are vestigial, and they can survive without them. Beheading a changeling will not prevent one from reviving.

Hud target head.gif Target: Head

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

Note: There's also a non-surgery method to put a brain back in:

Step 1: Operating Table Place the patient onto the operating table.

Step 2: Brain Cram their brain back into their skull.

Step 3: Cloning Pod Usually, you take the body to be cloned (this can be done without step 2).

Heart Heart.png

Required for basic survival, removing it will cause a heart attack, dealing huge amounts of oxygen damage until a new, beating, heart is inserted, or death. This can be delayed with epinephrine, if you need more time.

On their own, hearts only beat for a short time when removed from a living body. To get a heart beating again, click on it while it's in your hand.

Heart attacks can also be induced by initropidril, and a heart attack may continue if you insert a still heart in a patient. In either case, to restore the heart to normal functionality, the patient needs to either be defibrillated or receive an electric shock. Hud target chest.gif Target: Chest

Heart Variants
Name Icon Description
Cursed Heart Cursed heart.gif Provides a powerful regeneration effect to the host, but comes at the price of needing to be pumped manually, or else they begin to suffocate.
Heart of Freedom Heart.png When the user falls to critically low health, will heal a small amount of brute and burn injuries across the body, and also add ephedrine to the user. This effect has a random cooldown between 4.5 and 10 minutes. Often found after a Meat-eor storm event.
Maintenance Heart Maint Heart.gif Half as durable as a regular heart, and half as effective in generating blood. A terrible replacement option, but will keep someone alive in an emergency.
Cybernetic Heart Cybernetic heart.gif Functionally identical to a standard organic heart. Suseptible to EMP
Upgraded Cybernetic Heart Heart-c-u.png When the owner falls unconscious, will inject 10u of epinephrine. This effect has a 5 minute cooldown. Suseptible to EMP, but capable of restarting itself after.
Nanite Heart Nanite Heart.gif Functionally identical to a standard heart, but with the added benefit of increasing nanite generation in the host. However, if the host's nanites are depleted, the heart will collapse entirely, resulting in a rapid death. Suseptible to EMP by way of harming nanites in the host.

Eyes Eyes.png

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

Other organs that require Organ Manipulation

There are also non-natural organs which can be added to give bonuses or to harm the patient in a few cases.

Cybernetic Implants Chest implant.pngBrain implant.pngEye implant.pngToolset arm implant.pngImplant-leg.png

These offer benefits to the patient at the cost of being very vulnerable to EMPs, with malfunctions ranging from eye-flashing to heart attacks. Cybernetic implants always require the Organ Manipulation type surgery, even for arms. Cybernetic implants can be printed by Robotics or the medbay techfab after research.

Romerol Tumor

A latent infection in the patient's head, caused by Romerol. If the patient dies while affected by Romerol, he will eventually rise as an aggressive Zombie. This will repeat as long as the infection lasts; removing it surgically, cutting the head off, or gibbing the corpse will prevent resurrection.

Romerol is infectious, and anyone hit by a zombie while unprotected will also acquire a Romerol Tumor.
