I’ve noticed it too, even with a scalpel and first aid 6 you get a lot more burnt out ones then functional ones. If it was an intentional change… well, tbh I think it was a good one. CBMs were a little too common and I think this balances it out.
Huh. Any ideas why I’ve got only a single mk II power from 4 bio ops, 12 scientists and 3 electric-type with first aid 4, electronics 7 and x-acto?
Playing 9112 experimental, it that makes any difference. Also, I have base dexterity of 4, can this somehow provide a major penalty?
As you said in an earlier post you’ve been smashing the bodies, which severely reduces your chance of getting functional bionics. You’ll want to leave them unpulped if you want to get any significant quantities of cbms. Dissecting then will prevent them from reviving too, so don’t worry about that.
To turn it off and on? Not that I know of. I usually just switch it on when I’m done with the important ones. Otherwise I manually butcher everything for tainted tallow anyways. Which I then cook on the pile of butchery refuse.
