Couldn't find operations tab on corpses. But I can't tell if they have bionics.

Oh and is it possible to strip a corpse after you bury it?

I'll try later when I get some meds. I was about to install prosthetics on someone after I bought some but nothing happened and the damn doctor used it elsewhere.

[Jacob/Lee]

I think you can dig corpses up by dismantling their grave.

[n9103]

yes, you could also check the "allow buried" box in the stockpile, with a higher priority than the graves.

As far as AI goes, you can change the AI by hand if you feel like digging into the save files.
I don't remember off hand which one, or the specific names needed, but I've changed from Phoebe to Cassandra to Randy in one game.

[Aseaheru]

Ah, hell. My net died with the reply... Twice now, and almost a 3ed time.


Yah, dismantle or setup a stockpile that allows buried corpses. Only to get clothing off a buried corpse is dig it up and strip it.

What do you mean by

Operations for giving people a prosthetic require (I think) two medkits, one for the removal of the limb, the second for the installation.

[Sergius]

You can change AI at any time in the Options screen, even midgame, no need for editing.

You can't remove organs from the dead. Probably not even bionics.

Bionics are shown on the right side, where the wounds are shown.

[n9103]

Haven't gotten into the latest version. Sounds like a nice addition, as I'm sure most people wouldn't even consider hand-editing.

[Greiger]

To strip body parts off of a raider they need to be alive and captured.  But you can also buy many replacement bits from merchants.

As for events I was playing for a long time on cassandra and right when it seemed to be dragging on a major event happened was the primary contributor to wiping out my colony.

It was a piece of spaceship that fell out of orbit with some kind of psychic mind drone that made colonists and animals crazy.  I couldn't destroy the piece of ship because it was too well guarded by some mechanical worm things that wrecked anyone who fought them, and my mortar was too inaccurate.  Eventually my colony was overrun by an entire herd of maddened deer while my fighters were in the hospital after their most recent attempt at destroying the drone.

EMPs are your friend, as are sniper rifles, powerarmor so your guys dont die, and many, many mortars.
I think one guy got two of those at once...

[wer6]

My brother had one land in his garden, right next to a power armored & pissed fighter brigade.

[GobbieMarauder]

I've gotten three over the course of my save. The third landed right on a raider camp, so a bit of bait and switch let me kill two birds with one stone.

I haven't tested it with the quick ones, but the big slow ones have a limit on how far they'll go from the ship, so you can get someone with an M-24 to plink it to death from outside it's range.

[Sharp]

Haven't actually tried the latest one but those fast mechs are deadly in the open, needed to bait with multiple colonists popping out from doors

[Aseaheru]

Turret traps are best against scythers.

I mean the corpses just have an overview tab, no operations tab. But I haven't found a corpse with any prosthetics. Are you sure it doesn't just work on the prisoners?

Got the prosthetics thing done. Thanks.

[Shooer]

Yeah, you can't operate (to remove or add) on corpses.

Prisoners are worth more as parts sold to just about anyone, as opposed to sell them as slaves.

When you get AI core surround them with 4 turrets before touching it.  Then have someone with either a enfield or m24 tap it to spawn the mechanoids.  I'm playing with the improved turret mod which gives forced fire back to turrets, and 2 sniper turrets can kill almost anything.

I also fill my compound with paired turrets to cover drops, started doing that when pirates started using drop pods and the behavior saved me a ton when I had my first AI core land inside my canteena.

[Aseaheru]

Not many baddies have a prosthesis.
