Make Operating Tables unacidable

Post by MrJJJ » 16 Apr 2017, 10:16

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Make operating table unable to be melted by acid

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Think about this for a second, how does a alien drone or sentinel, somehow magically knows what operating tables for? too many times a drone, sometimes even infront of 5 people, will come out, melt the operating table, just so doctors can't peform surgery normally, even if a xeno spends time observing from the vent, his first thought would probably be "These tallhosts in white clothes can remove our children with special tools, i should probably eliminate them" and not "This table makes all surgery successful somehow...don't know how and i don't know why i would assume that, but if i melt this, they have to use other ways"

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Prevent aliens from metaing operating tables, i don't understand how does a drone that a sligthly looking different table somehow is the reason why the doctors can remove larva, and not the doctor itself along with tools (atleast tools can be replaced)
Alternatively, if we don't make it un-acidable, just make it constructable with either plasteel, or like, 20 metal.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): I.unacidable or something on the operating table

Sulaco OR tables, definitely. Planetside OR tables can sometimes get in the way (although not too often).

+1 for the sulaco OR tables, I once had a round where a drone melted all of the OR tables and the rollerbeds.

You don't need a surgery table to perform surgery. Any table will do, or a roller bed. I get the meta considerations, but this doesn't seem like a crucial balance issue. Denied.
