What's the rationale behind harvesting CBMs from corpses?

need to get into hospitall on other side of world to instal 1 power storage? why not medical bots like in deus ex (but not free healing for balance) just get control laptop and make him follow you (without this should be ignoring and standing still) and leave it in your base

The idea I had in mind would require you to get to the hospital (or wherever the machine happens to be) once, to install a battery container and power routing system. You could then plug in new batteries by opening a hatch in your side or something similar. More complicated CBM’s could potentially require dedicated surgery.

It’s major surgery with potentially game-changing consequences. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect the player to travel to a medical or scientific facility. That being said, one could always put AutoSurgeons in common doctor’s offices if availability was a big concern.[/quote]

This would mean more venturing into town, which is something I currently avoid in favour of picking off mansions and more isolated establishments. Risk/reward tradeoffs make for tempting challenges.

One could have single-use installation kits for “easy” cbms (a craftable item), while labs, hospitals, maybe even a military bunker room, has install bots for the big things.
