What this does

Buffs Ironrot in a few ways:

  • metal floortiles are melted (without breaching of course)
  • metallic items are melted ala pacid. non metallic items are unaffected
  • damage to mechs
  • damage to turrets
  • damage to robotic mobs, ie hivebots, vicerators
  • damage to robotic limbs
  • halves the toxicity to biologicals, but it is still toxic

Why it's good

I felt that ironrot is lacking in its niche and I never see it used by botanists. Also I received some requests to make it work on mechs.

How it was tested

BEHOLD!
ironrot_test.webm

robolimb damage was also tested, but I didn't grab a recording of it.
