All surgery requires a set of medical tools, typically found in the Operating Theatre, along with an operating table.

Surgical Tools[edit | edit source]

Information about every tool used in surgery can be found here.

For every tools there are ghetto analogues. Using them lowers chances of performing a surgical step correctly, wounding your patient. Hover your cursor over the item's picture to see its name. Next to the items are the success rates.


Beginning of any Operation[edit | edit source]

Step 1: Operating Table Place the patient onto the operating table. Do this by selecting grab Intent Grab.png intent. Then click the patient twice in a row until you have an aggressive grab. Then left click the operating table to place the patient on it. Switch back to help Intent Help.png intent or your surgery will fail.

  • If there is no operating table, you can use: Stasis bed (-10%), any table (-20%), any bed (-30%), ask them to lie on the floor (-50%). Chances of successfully completing every step will be reduced.

Step 1.1 Ethanol (Optional) Splash on, spray or apply a patch with Miner's Salve (+10%), Sterilizine (+20%), alcoholic drinks (up to +46%), or Honey (+60%) to improve your success chance.

  • The stronger the alcohol, the more effective! The formula is: 0.1*(booze power/65). For example: Ethanol gives +10% success chance, Manly Dorf +15%, Bacchus' Blessing +46%.

Step 1.2: Sleeping Agent (Optional) Use a tank of anesthetic and a breath mask to make your patient sleep.

Step 2: Drapes Bedsheet Place drapes or bedsheet over the part of body you are operating.

Step 3: Help Intent Switch to help intent. Pro tip: Disarm intent will fail every surgery step.

Step 4: Target Aim at the appropriate body part (important!).

Step 5: Scalpel Do the surgery (see the steps below!). Afterwards congratulate the patient and kick them out.


To abort a surgery, hold a cautery in one hand and drapes in the other, and use the drapes on the patient.

Procedures requiring no research or computer[edit | edit source]

Tend Wounds (Burn/Brute)[edit | edit source]

This surgery is a keypoint in saving limited resources such as synthflesh from being used up cloning a person who can still be resurrected.
Target Target: Chest

The tools required for the surgery can always be found in the medical kit every doctor/paramedic starts their shift with.
Two different versions of the surgery can be performed, one that fixes burn damage and another that fixes brute damage.

Procedure Ghetto Analogues
Step 1: Scalpel Scalpel: make a careful incision (does not cause damage or bleeding). Kitchen Knife (65%) Shard (45%) Energy Sword (75%) Any other sharp item (30%)
Step 2: Hemostat Tend bruises: repair damage to the target (automatically repeats until fully healed). Screwdriver (65%) Pen (55%)
Step 3: Cautery Cautery: seal the wound. Laser (90%) Welder (70%) Lighter (45%) Match (20%)
  • You can hold a Health Analyzer in your other hand to see your patient's remaining wounds while treating them.

Organ Manipulation[edit | edit source]

This surgery covers operations to remove/insert organs (brain, heart, appendix), lizard/cat tails, cyber implants and alien embryos.

The body part to target depends on which procedure you want to do.
See below for details about each procedure.

Ordinary organs that require Organ Manipulation[edit | edit source]

These organs are present in every normal human, and can be removed or transferred through the Organ Manipulation surgery type.

Brain BrainAlien brain[edit | edit source]

The source of consciousness, and where the player actually resides. Removing the brain from a body will make it unclonable through normal means. The brain can also be inserted into an MMI to allow it to speak, and to prepare it to be inserted into a Cyborg or an AI. Or it can be transferred into another body, which can then be cloned or defibrillated with the new host.

Changelings' brains are vestigial, and they can survive without them. Beheading a changeling will not prevent one from reviving.

Hud target head.gif Target: Head

Note: Brains can also be removed by beheading the target and using a sharp object on the head to extract the brain.

Note: There's also a non-surgery method to put a brain back in:

Step 1: Operating Table Place the patient onto the operating table.

Step 2: Brain Cram their brain back into their skull.

Step 3: Cloning Pod Usually, you take the body to be cloned.

Heart Heart.png[edit | edit source]

Required for basic survival, removing it will cause a heart attack, dealing huge amounts of oxygen damage until a new, beating heart is inserted, or the patient dies. This can be delayed with epinephrine, if you need more time.

Hud target chest.gif Target: Chest

On their own, hearts only beat for a short time when removed from a living body. To get a heart beating again, click on it while it's in your hand.

Heart attacks can also be induced by Initropidril, and a heart attack may continue if you insert a still heart in a patient. In either case, to restore the heart to normal functionality, the patient needs to either be defibrillated or receive an electric shock.

Eyes Eyes.png[edit | edit source]

They're required for sight. Removing them will, obviously, turn the patient blind. Some races' eyes can see in the dark.

Hud target eyes.gif Target: Eyes

EarsEars.png[edit | edit source]

Required for hearing. Removing them will make the patient deaf.

Hud target head.gif Target: Head

Liver Liver organ.png[edit | edit source]

Required for processing reagents. Removing the liver will cause the patient to take heavy toxin damage.

Hud target chest.gif Target: Chest

Lungs Lungs.png[edit | edit source]

Required for breathing. Removing the lungs will cause the patient to suffocate, regardless of air or internals. Some species have mutant lungs that don't need air: transplanting them onto an breathing race will transfer this property.

Hud target chest.gif Target: Chest

Stomach Stomach organ.png[edit | edit source]

Required for digesting food.

Hud target chest.gif Target: Chest

Tongue Tongue.png Ltongue.png[edit | edit source]

Affects speech. Lacking a tongue will make speech very hard to comprehend, while mutant tongues such as lizards' or flypeoples' will give the patient the race's speech quirks. Abductors' tongues carry over their telepathy, but they prevent normal speech.

Hud target mouth.gif Target: Mouth

Appendix AppendixInflamed appendix[edit | edit source]

Removing it cures appendicitis and prevents it in the future, too.

Hud target crotch.gif Target: Groin

Other organs that require Organ Manipulation[edit | edit source]

There are also non-natural organs which can be added to give bonuses or to harm the patient in a few cases.

Cybernetic Implants Chest implant.pngBrain implant.pngEye implant.pngArm implant.png[edit | edit source]

These offer benefits to the patient at the cost of being very vulnerable to EMPs, with malfunctions ranging from eye-flashing to heart attacks. Cybernetic implants always require the Organ Manipulation type surgery, even for arms. Cybernetic implants can be printed by Robotics or the medbay techfab after research.

Hud target chest.gifHud target head.gifHud target eyes.gif Target: Chest/Head/Eyes/Arms

Cybernetic Organs Cybernetic heart.gif Cybernetic liver.png Cybernetic lungs.png Robotic eyes.png[edit | edit source]

Cybernetic organs replace organs entirely. You need to remove the corresponding organ first to make room for the cybernetic organ. They are vulnerable to EMPs. Cybernetic organs can be printed by Robotics or the medbay techfab after research.

Hud target chest.gifHud target eyes.gif Target: Chest/Eyes

Xenomorph Embryo FacehuggerLarva[edit | edit source]

An alien larva growing inside the patient. If not removed quickly enough, it will gib the patient and try to escape, growing into a dangerous Xenomorph.

Hud target chest.gif Target: Chest

Romerol Tumor[edit | edit source]

A latent infection in the patient's head, caused by Romerol.

If the patient dies while affected by Romerol, they will eventually rise as an aggressive Zombie. This will repeat as long as the infection lasts; removing it surgically, cutting the head off, or gibbing the corpse will prevent resurrection.

Romerol is infective, and anyone hit by a zombie while unprotected will also acquire a Romerol Tumor.

Lobectomy[edit | edit source]

This surgery is an extended organ manipulation, cutting open the chest cavity and removing a disfunctional lobe within the lungs.

This restores health to the lungs, and makes them operable, if they weren't before. Be warned, however, that this surgery can only be done once per set of lungs. Can only be performed if the patient's lungs are above 60 damage, which is a tad past severe damage thresholds. Do NOT confuse this surgery with lobotomy!

Coronary Bypass[edit | edit source]

This surgery is an extended organ manipulation, cutting open the chest cavity and grafting a bypass onto the patient's heart.

This restores health to the heart, and makes it operable, if it was not before. Be warned, however, that this surgery can only be done once per heart, and that incising the heart and attaching the graft are not guaranteed successes. Keep bandages on hand in the event of failing the step, which will result in massive amounts of bleeding. Can only be performed if the heart has more than 60 damage (tad past severe damage threshold).

Revival[edit | edit source]

The target is resurrected by this surgery.

Unlike normal defibrillation, it works on any non-husked corpse, regardless of how much damage the body has sustained or how long the target has been dead.
If the body has sustained too much damage, it'll die immediately after the revival. You can circumvent this by applying synthflesh or performing Tend Wounds beforehand. Requires the "Advanced Surgery" technology.

Viral Bonding[edit | edit source]

The target is forced into a symbiotic relationship with a virus. It makes the virus stay at stage 1 where it's usually harmless, but still infective to others .

Note: The target must already be infected before you can initiate this surgery with the drapes. The target must be dosed with at least 5 units of Virus Food, Formaldehyde, and Spaceacillin for the "Viral Bond" step to work. This surgery will not hide the virus icon from medical huds.

Requires the "Experimental Surgery" technology.

Alien Surgery[edit | edit source]

These surgeries require the Alien Surgery research node, which requires the Alien Technology node, which can only be revealed from deconstructing certain abductor items. After it is researched you must sync an operating computer (click "View Surgery Procedures" and then "Sync with research database") to unlock the procedures. Alien surgeries can only be performed on an operating table with a connected operating computer.

Brainwashing[edit | edit source]

The target of this surgery, when successful, is bound to a primary goal you assign to him/her. He/she must follow these objectives, regardless of allegiance. This can be cured through brain surgery or with a mindshield implant.

Requires either the brainwashing disk, acquired through the Syndicate Uplink, or researching the "Alien Surgery" technology.
