First-Aid Mech

Description
Adds the small mechanoid "First-Aid" with limited medical capabilities.

First-Aid can be gestated using 75 Steel and 1 Basic Subcore, requiring one gestation cycle.
First-Aid is useful for basic wound treatment such as stopping bleeding and treating fractures, but it is not well-suited for advanced medical procedures like surgery. Technically, it can perform surgery... but I wouldn't recommend it. It's not exactly the smartest machine out there.

Just pondering ideas, you could possibly set it's medical skill equivalent to 0 but give it a large positive tend quality offset, so that it can still tend wounds but would be ineligible for most surgeries. Some surgeries have no skill requirement, but a lot do. If anything quickly patching up wounds with ~50% tend quality tends seems like just the thing for a "First aid" bot. Close up cuts and bullet holes so they dont bleed to death, but just. That sort of thing.

Any chance of getting compat with 'Nurse Job' mod? That'd fix the surgery issues, and with 'Mech Job Panel' you could pick which job you want them doing, so they could also serve as a surgeon in a pinch, if your doc is down. I believe that Nursing is just the 'Caring' job/s sliced out of Doctoring. I'd be happy to do it myself if you have a github I could fork.

Could it be possible to simply remove surgery from it's available work types in the first place, so you don't need to meticulously micromanage it away when it, while idly waiting for a task, inevitably tries to perform assigned surgeries before your busy skilled doctors finish their meal or their card game? Or does surgery being bundled with basic doctoring make that impossible?

Hi, can this bot also treat wounded from another faction?

figured it out. It won't work when set to escort

Hey, is there a way to force this thing to tend someone or can it only do it on it's own? The person I wanted to tend and the mechanoid itself were in command range but I didn't see any options to tend them

I also tried to disable surgery altogether, but unfortunately, my skills weren’t sufficient to make that work, so I had to go with this workaround instead. Maybe one day, after I improve, I’ll release First-Aid 2.0!

As for collaborating on a mechanoid expansion mod, I sincerely appreciate the offer! However, I am still a newbie in the world of modding. I know my own limitations and need to study and gain more experience before I’m ready. I'm sorry, but for now, I'm not quite there yet.

P.S. This reply was translated using ChatGPT. I hope the meaning was conveyed accurately!
