Bionic Bug: Overengineered

Bionic Bug: Overengineered is a duplicant trait that indicates the duplicant's bionic systems rarely progress beyond the processing stage. Duplicants with this trait exhibit consistently unreliable or incomplete bionic functionality; their bionic systems fail to finish the necessary processing steps and do not reach full operational status.

This trait applies specifically to the duplicant's bionic components rather than organic skills or non-bionic abilities. It signals that any bionic augmentations or implants associated with the duplicant are prone to remain in a partially processed or nonfunctional state.

• Consider avoiding assignment of critical roles that depend on reliable bionic implants to duplicants with this trait.
• Do not plan colony systems that rely on this duplicant’s bionics being completed; treat their bionic enhancements as unreliable or unavailable.
• Use such duplicants for tasks that do not depend on bionic systems, or as backups where failed bionics impose minimal consequence.

The trait is a straightforward indicator of incomplete bionic processing and should be treated as a permanent characteristic affecting the duplicant’s bionic reliability.
