Managing Power, Humanity, and Cyberpsychosis

Replacing your organic body with metal implants grants incredible perks, but pushing your modifications too far carries severe physical and mental risks.

Balancing Humanity and Power

Every robotic part installed in your body impacts two crucial survival resources:

• Power: Mechanical components need energy to run. If you deplete your power reserves, active abilities and limb enhancements may fail when you need them most.
• Humanity: Each mechanical replacement lowers your overall humanity level. Light modifications have minimal impact, but stacking heavy mechanical parts strains your biological system.

Avoiding Part Rejection and Cyberpsychosis

Pushing your enhancements beyond safe limits triggers dangerous side effects:

• Part Rejection: If your system rejects an implant, your body will suffer penalties, reducing your combat and movement effectiveness.
• Cyberpsychosis: Installing excessive metal parts drives your character into cyberpsychosis, a mental break resulting from critically depleted humanity.

To recover, monitor your implant load, visit the Engineering Table to dismantle unnecessary modifications, and have parts removed if your humanity reaches a critical threshold.
