The Peeler, the Surgical Table, and being picky about your dismemberments

[spacefiddle]

There's a new-ish mod called Surgical Table which is sort of a more atmospheric Peeler; it works the same way, but looks like a Skeleton Bed, and instead of screaming like they're being tortured the resident says things like "i can't wait to see my new shiny arm, Doc!" Stuff like that. Cute. But essentially the same mechanic.

If a "cage" or device can't do this in a more targeting way - is there a way to make a *weapon* that targets a specific limb? Like, something that only does damage to the Left Arm? If it's possible to restrict damage, then maybe you'd be able to make like a "surgeon's scalpel" that would literally just damage/remove a specific limb? You'd have to make 4 of them and use the one you want at a time, but it might be a more elegant solution if there's no way to do it using a structure or station.

Just idly wondering, I saw "Surgical Table" hit the Workshop this week and briefly hoped it would let you choose limbs - but no. Tho it IS some nice work, especially if you prefer an alternate method of Cyborging your troops than torturing them all half to death. (The "surgeon" attending should still have Med skill to prevent blood loss death, lol, but you'd have a doctor doing this anyway riterite?)

Made me think of abandoning the idea of a station or structure, and looking at it from the side of a specialized weapon, could do the trick. Anyone more versed in the FCS than me know if this is a tree worth barking up?
