IPC's, also known as Integrated Positronic Chassis, are completely artificial life forms made using a positronic brain. They are similar to cyborgs, but they are unlawed, and have a humanlike form. IPC voices are similar to voices of cyborgs and the AI, and also they can understand the Encoded Audio Language.

History

Integrated Positronic Chassis - Automatum Saepe: Colloquially known as IPCs, these creations have thrown the galaxy's philosophers into dismay. Throwing the definition of life into question and redefining consciousness and thought. The IPCs were researched, developed, and implemented by one of the many companies in Nanotrasen. It was advertised as a cure for the human condition at the cost of existentialism. They are one of the newest races to walk among the stars, much study has been conducted on their construction, as much as Nanotrasen would allow.

IPC’s are found everywhere that humans are found and in even more places where they aren’t. They are the left arm of humanity, the silent caretakers of a solar empire. They do the tasks that nobody else can or will do, and they do them regardless of risk. They became what they are right now so they wouldn’t have to worry about things like that.

Gameplay

IPC's are an optional playable race in game. When you select them you have the option of changing your monitor style, along with having the option in game.

Given their synthetic nature, IPC's tend to have more machine-like names like CE-323, but acronyms like D.A.N.I.E.L. are also welcome.

As an IPC, you take 1.5x as much brute and 2x burn damage (meaning 4 welder hits can knock you down), but cannot process most drugs or become infected with most diseases. However, you are cripplingly weak to EMP's and fire. In addition, you cannot be cloned, do not need to breathe (but still suffer from pressure damage) and are not protected by the AI's laws (on standard Asimov).

IPC Maintenance

Standard Repair

To fix an IPC you need:

  • A welder - for brute damage
  • Some cable coils - for burn damage

If you have the required tools which are mentioned above (remember to turn on your welder before you use it, (also if you care about your eyesight use welding mask or goggles)), simply use them on every damaged bodypart until they are fixed. A dead IPC should reboot itself when their damage is fixed, just keep applying the welder or cable coil until it says that part is in good condition then move onto the next limb on their body (so please don't try to defibrillate or anything, be patient).

In the case an IPC runs out of Oil, it will be unrevivable until it's Oil is restored to around 20%. Ensure its wounds are bandaged and inject Oil into it with a syringe.

Organ Replacement

On the event that an IPC suffers Organ Damage or Loses an Organ, you may have to replace it, IPC Organs can be printed in the IPC Components section of your fabricator once IPC Parts have been researched, IPCs share their surgery steps with those of Augmented limbs

Target Target: Head, chest, groin, arms

Procedure Ghetto Analogues
Step 1: Screwdriver Screwdriver: unscrew the shell. Scalpel (75%) Kitchen Knife (50%) Any other sharp item (30%)
Step 2: Hands Hands: open the hatch.
Step 3: Wrench Wrench (chest and head only): unwrench the bolts. Retractor (10%)
Step 4: Multitool Multitool: prepare electronics. Hemostat (10%)
Step 5: Hemostat Hemostat: manipulate organs/remove implant. Crowbar (65%)
Step 6: Wrench Wrench (chest and head only): wrench the bolts. Retractor (10%)
Step 7: Screwdriver Screwdriver: screw the shell. Scalpel (75%) Kitchen Knife (50%) Any other sharp item (30%)

Viral Contamination

Virus with the symptom of Biometallic Replication may infect IPCs, in order to cure them you use one of three Tiers of AntiVirus printable at the medical lathe

Brain Damage and Toxins

In the case an IPC suffers from toxin or brain damage one needs to apply Solder for toxin and System Cleaner for Brain Damage or Traumas, both are applied via syringe

"Hunger"

IPC's don't have mouths so they cannot scream eat, but after some time they get hungry. To satisfy their hunger simply extend your power cord implant (one of the icons in the top left corner, you have to have your left arm free), find nearest APC and use your power cord on that APC.
