This is how the process works:

* First random float from 0.0 to survival skill level - 3 is added to skill_shift.
* Then random float from 0 to 0.25 * (DEX - 8) is added to skill_shift.
* Less than 4 STR gives penalty to skill_shift equal 0.25 * (5 * (4 - STR)).
* If you have inconsistent weapon, you also get penalty equal 0.2 per level of inconsistent.
If "skill_shift" is negative you get a nothing, otherwise there is a (skill_shift + 1) * 3 in 2 of getting a working [[CBM]] otherwise you get a [[Burnt out bionic]].

Getting bionics from corpses

The survival skill used to help with getting bionics from butchering certain types of zombies. However, as of 0.D (Danny), bionics are now obtained by dissecting instead of butchering, and dissecting depends on the first aid skill, and a tool with fine cutting (scalpels for example).
