@ToasterBan Could you add a list of the added fluff augments to the body of your PR so we can see what's been added in particular? (Yes, I know you can just look at the change feed but yeah)

They all have 0 mechanical functions, they technically can get EMPed but that does nothing at all

I just copy-pasted the names and descriptions of whatever bay had, excluding: Codex Access Chip, Neurostimulator, Pain assistant and the Data Chip because I arbitrarily considered them a bit too high tech for our lore

what we have is:

circadian conditioner

A small brain implant that carefully regulates the output of certain hormones to assist in controlling the sleep-wake cycle of its owner. May be an effective counter to insomnia, jet lag, and late-night work shifts.

genetic backup

This implant is a compact and resilient solid-state drive. It does nothing on its own, but contains the complete DNA sequence of its owner - whether it be to aid in medical treatment, serve for research purposes, or even be used as a template for vat-grown humans in the future.

emergency battery

A small emergency power supply. It provides no protection from power loss on its own, but might help keep your brain ticking through an otherwise critical failure.

skeletal bracing

Mechanical hinges and springs made from titanium or some other bio-compatible metal reinforce your joints, generally making strenuous activity less painful for you and allowing you to carry weight that would normally be unbearable. It provides no increase on strength on its own, unless you have weak bones to begin with.

ultraviolet shielding

Some parts of your epidermis have been replaced with a bio-engineered substitute that's resistant to harmful solar radiation - a common factor in the lives of spacers or inhabitants of planets with a weak magnetosphere."

recycler suite

In extreme environments where natural resources are limited or even nonexistent, it may be prudent to recycle nutrients and fluids the body would usually discard. This system reclaims any usable material in the digestive tract that would otherwise be lost to waste.
