Remove Randomness of Shrapnel Surgery

[Kevinthezhang]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): During shrapnel removal surgery, the "Hemostat to remove shrapnel (poking inside the person)" step has a lot of randomness and adds to the tedium of conducting surgery (especially prominent if multiple shrapnel wounds are present).

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Eases the burden on the doctor slightly

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Instead of having shrapnel removal with the hemostat be random, just have it as another step of surgery.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

+1 Shrapnel RNG is a pain and adds nothing to surgery besides frustration. Making the removal step 100% guaranteed would be great.

+1.

After about 2 shrapnel it's faster to choke to death and clone

This is probably a duplicate but +1 all the way

With Cloning planned to be replace or remove, Surgery going to need to be a faster process.
Otherwise a whole episode of M.A.S.H. is just a Surgery Operation that would end badly if not done right.

This thread focuses specifically on the shrapnel whereas the other thread also mentions adding possible surgery steps to the medical console. I'll treat this thread as something seperate and update the other thread once this is implemented.

Speaking of, this is a quality of life change that would provide no negative aspect that I can see. I'll go ahead and approve this and get it going.

sorry, i try to be thorough but someddays stuff slides through the cracks. although technically it still has stuff to do with RNG shrapel, just another suggestion in there as well.

[DesFrSpace]

Surgery are slow, despite this being 2150+, I can't believe Surgery can be reduce.
SAVE MEDICAL! SAVE MARINES!

This should have been completed with the Surgery rework, you now have a 100 % chance to remove shrapnel on every use of the hemostat, although you might need to apply it a few times if the Marine got filled with lead
