Why not fix robots' weakness against water? Install waterproof chips to raise humidity tolerance, just like Standard-bearer chips. When fully stacked, robots only lose sanity like regular operators instead of taking HP damage. Also, can the drones of Shadow allies add a retract function? Drones block sight when unused.

I am guessing they didn't add a circuit like that is because they want the character to still have his downside??? Skill trees shouldn't just flat out remove a character's downside. That's bad design.

cuz waterproof chips would be like if wormwood got a skill that made it so food can heal him

You know how when a company makes something and think it’s the greatest thing ever but then that product fails miserably and ends up having unforeseen defects so it has to be recalled and then model version 2.0 (now waterproof) is released? Yeah it’s like that… Wagstaff may be a genius but he was probably so focused on all the cool high-tech stuff he wanted WX to be able to do and at the same time forgot to install same basic functionality (such as heart empathy module) this isn’t something I’m making up… this is confirmed lore through Klei’s own animations. So I’m going to just assume that’s why.

Yeah, there is actually a way to make WX-78 waterproof, albeit temporarily? You need to ask your local French chef for FROGFISHBOWL.EXE, it's a software update that lets WX-78 enjoy the rain for five minutes.
