Proposal: Scrapheap Challenge

Reached quorum 7 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

To “Bot Loadout”, add:-

The Engine, Chassis and each System of each Bot have a publicly tracked Condition rating, being a percentage from 0% to 100%. If a rule refers to the “Effective” quality of any of these items, and that value is numerical, then the value has the item’s Condition percentage applied to it, rounded down (eg. the Effective Cost of a ₩5,000 Engine in 50% Condition is ₩2,500).

If a Bot has Systems and a Chassis whose combined Consumption exceeds its Engine’s Effective Power Output, the Bot is considered to be Defunct. The Script of a Defunct Bot is always considered to be blank.

(If the proposal “Start Your Engines” failed, remove the last sentence of that.)

Replace “At any time, an Operator may change the Engine of its Bot by paying the One-off Cost of the Engine they wish to move to.” with:-

At any time, an Operator may change the Engine of its Bot to another of any Condition by paying the Effective One-off Cost of the new Engine.

Replace “At any time, an Operator may change the Chassis of its Bot by paying the Cost of the Chassis they wish to move to, with the restriction that a Bot may not have Systems and a Chassis whose combined Consumption exceeds its Engine’s Power Output.” with:-

At any time, an Operator may change the Chassis of its Bot to another of any Condition by paying the Effective Cost of the new Chassis.

Replace “At any time, an Operator may change their Bot’s Systems by spending the Cost of any Systems being added, with the restriction that a Bot may not have Systems and a Chassis whose combined Consumption exceeds its Engine’s Power Output.” with:-

At any time, an Operator may add a System of a desired Condition to their Bot by spending its Effective Cost. An Operator may remove a System from their Bot at any time.

If “Wowing the Crowd” passed, replace “took 0 Damage” with:-

none of its Components decreased in Condition

...and remove “, or taking damage” from that rule.

Making damage as an aspect of all parts of the Bots, with the option to buy cheaper, already-damaged components if you think you can get away with it.

Also moving the two “combined Consumption” restrictions into a single ongoing check, so that it’s clear what happens if a proposal (or something else) alters the numbers on a component after a Bot has already been constructed with it.
