One thing that's always back and forth on EFU is how much involvement with animatronics is considered over the top given the key role it plays in the setting. One thing I was thinking though would be fun would be teating Animatrons like some of the animals in the wilds.
Prowlers, Cave BEars, Deep Lizards, Stone Lizards, etc. They all leave corpses and PCs have the option to Skin or Harvest Meat.
What if something similar was developed for Animatrons?
A salvage wrench like the skinning knife to try and take apart the machine for scrap based on EFUSS Engineering like WIlderness Survival/etc goes into skinning and meat.
Salvage (Good, average, bad) etc.
Maybe even if a 20 is rolled get a baublium hunk recovered from the machine core
I like this idea a lot more than the current methods of scrapping that are fairly limiting based on your class.
Very good idea IMO.
Of this, I am a fan. Could tie it into some lairs and other turn-in systems as well.
