Chrome Crafting
I'll make my own chrome! With Blackjack! And hookers!

Chrome should be able to be crafted, with two types of workbenches.

One being a lower-end bench that consists of manufacturing tools repurposed with soldering kits and partially bio-ware. Want to make a cybernetic arm? Well, you're going to have to pull the nervous system out of an existing arm that you hack-sawed off of someone and attach it up to the existing hydraulic systems of what used to be series of several servomotors. You don't get tactile touch besides maybe the feeling of pressure. It can be customized, but it'll never look like a real arm. Too many wires, metal and epoxy keeping the nerves attached to your shoulder so you can actually control it. If it ever loses that nervous system connection, it'll rot faster than the industry standard.

Scrap metal, sensors, servos, and the occasional human corpse stripped for biological components. Want to make a neural processor? You're going to have to find a healthy brain, cut it up for hippocampus, and start burning some juicy new neural pathways with a soldering iron, and staple that bitch to someone elses. Don't even think about trying to 'overclock' it, but a particularly skilled Bio-Tech and a particularly skilled brain might actually have more space than a regular processor, but the PDS cost is undeniable- You're grafting flesh to flesh.

The high-end bench will consist of complex, interesting nerve-substitute that seamlessly integrates with your body. Molded, intricate metals and plastic complete with tactile touch. Made by true professionals, made to resemble the perfected human form with none of the downsides. This incredible machinery has high processor cost, but as it's made for you, custom to your form, fit to be perfect, the PDS cost is very little. And after all, this is made for people who have the money to afford coprocessors and overclocks anyway, who cares about processor space? This is made of new-age materials, the best in Saedor Krupp's arsenal, and may require plot hooks or exotic materials possibly brought in by your fellow corporations. Either with NLM's deep connected pockets around the world, VS's bio-chem department, or PRI's deep-space meteor mining, but affording the best requires the best.

Downsides:

Hard to source materials and high cost. Possibly limited resources given out on a per-month basis, and it means losing even one piece is completely unacceptable, a whole plot to get it back should be necessary.

High Processor cost: These complex pieces of machinery barely function with the current neural processor that is available on the market, requiring overclocking and coprocessors as standard, thus adding to the cost and possibly the bulk.

Requires a lot of work.

Upsides:

Full tactile touch and sensation, low PDS, almost non-existent.

Can work with essentially all modern modules, and possibly optimize them if running on a newer OS.

Better-than-human functionality. You want to be a superhuman, this is the way to do it. This is what the UN employs on it's super-soldiers and occasionally their favorite Deathball teams.

Never goes bad: Self-preserving internal cryostasis circuits ensure that even if the rest of the biological is gone, the chrome will still remain, no matter how human it looks and feels.

This is what it means to be Saedor Krupp. It means the cutting edge. It means going beyond human.
