Colfer Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) Robotic intelligence circuits are currently; Not craftable, Unrevivable, cannot be used in anything other than AI cores and cyborgs, and serve no functions aside from being a neat brain type available when you select the "Robot" alt title. I suggest that RIC's are given a greater capacity and become printable by upgraded circuit printers. Robotic intelligence circuits would likely need alot of steel and glass to be printed to balance it out, but would open a ghost spawner role for them (Additionally, circuits that had a ghost, and no longer have one appear burnt out or blackened to give people an indication that they are no longer working / re-open the role to the ghost spawner, since there is currently no way to re-activate an RIC once they die) RIC's could be useful in controlling circuitry assemblies they are inserted into and would come with a new circuit component; Input detectors. Input detectors are solely designed for RIC's that are inside circuit assemblies and detect what button the RIC is using (While the RIC is tabbed into the game) and is able to operate whatever the output pin is connected to by pressing that button Hypothetically, it may be boring for the RIC to be inserted into a device that isnt sufficiently complex. But it could make locomotive bots much easier to build for any player who wants to be apart of them, additionally it would reinforce the fact that RIC's are theoretically inferior to positronic brains in every way. This would also give them a use that other robot types do not have and make the unique in a way. It could also be unique if the RIC could assume manual operation of the circuit it is connected to and adjust connected pins, pulse pins, and change fields accordingly incase the RIC knows circuitry, but its creator does not, this would be difficult to logically explain but it would make gameplay better. (Hypothetically, if an integrated circuit could open its cover and insert new components into itself, this could lead to a robotic self-improvement event. Which could be really cool to handle icly, since robotic intelligence circuits aren't bound by the IPC self modification rule as far as I know) Edited May 14, 2021 by Colfer Just thought of something to put in, edit is marked in blue
