Surgery

Surgery is a medical technique used to heal more seriously injured body parts and organs, remove or attach limbs and organs, and insert enhanced cybernetic body parts as long as the roboticist hasn't spent all shift huffing welding fuel.

To perform surgery you will need a surgical tool in hand then select the "Begin Surgery" option from the context menu

Surgical tools are available in the surgery rooms of Medbay or can be printed at a medical techfab if needed.

For best results you should be using a face mask and gloves while performing any surgical step. Failure to do so will cause the patient to take damage from sepsis.

For the stupid brave, some common tools can be used as improvised surgical tools if needed.
