Cybernetic Apotheosis

Description
At present, this mod adds two ludicrously overpowered cybernetics items. No scripting is required, since they were created by combining the effects of existing cybernetics.

1. Optical Omniscanner (12 pts): Combines the effects of the Optical Multiscanner, the Penetrating Radar, and Night Vision.

2. Cathedra of Croesus (24 pts): There are four variants: Iridescent Sable (black opal), Argent Pearlescent (white opal), Cerulescent (sapphire), and Carnelian (ruby). Each combines the effects of its corresponding base-game cathedra, the Gun Rack (flavor: neural-linked weapons platform), and the mutation Multiple Arms at level 10 (flavor: neural-linked manipulator arms).

Frequently Questioned Answers

This is ludicrously unbalanced.

- Yup.

Will you make one that combines the effects of all four?

- If I were to do this, I would specifically want it to only apply the +50 hitpoints, +100 carry capacity, the +3 ego, and the flying once. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, without delving into scripting for the game there's no way to combine them without applying those effects fourfold. That said, if I'm missing something or if someone else wants to do the scripting, patches are welcome.

@Chronos, I've found em at Freehold before, sold by Bep.

Do you have any tips for finding these in the world?
What vendors are high enough tier to stock them?

@Clockwork As far as I can tell, it's only found in the code and not mentioned in the mod description nor the item description.

@|_| Clyax The Optical Multiscanner already includes the Air Current Microsensor. There shouldn't be a need to mention it in the mod description (as the description mentions the former), though if it's not in the item description that seems like an issue.

Hello again. I'm revisiting the game, and I decided to look into into the xml files of this mod. I looked into XML editing on the wiki, and I think I know an easy way to make a cathedra that combines all four and keeps the base cathedra values without scripting.

You create a new object that inherits all the properties of the other four vanilla cathedras, then you manually set the values of that new Omni Croesus Cathedra object to have the values it needs by using the BehaviorDescription value in a part Name=CyberneticsBaseItem. This should override the the Omni Cathedra from getting the bonuses added 4 times. If this doesn't work, then manually subtracting each value down to 50, 100, and 3 respectively should do it.

I'm still learning xml on the wiki, so I think I can learn more to figure it out. Let me know what you think.

Oh, and I found that the Omniscanner also has the Air Current Microsensor in the XML. It may help players to know this from the mod and item description.

Nice!

@inchoate Freaking nice! Thank you. I was just thinking about playing again. I'll have to find these for sure now.

|_| Good news: the new version implements a cathedra variant for each of the base-game cathedrae. Thanks again for the suggestion!

Thank you! And good idea; no promises, but if I get a chance to do some more work on it, sure!

"Combines the effects of the Black Opal Cathedra, the Gun Rack (flavor: neural-lined weapons platform), and the mutation Multiple Arms at level 10 (flavor: neural-linked manipulator arms)."

This is amazing. I finally don't have to choose between a Cathedra and a multi-arm gun build. Have you thought about making variants for each of the Cathedras or combine all of them ? This way, people can get the power they want.
