I don't know how to mod, but I have started poking around xml files and learning a bit. I have a few suggestion I hope you will consider.

I know you are busy with real life stuff and are not able to spend time modding at the moment, but when you get a chance, I hope you will consider some changes.

Recommended changes:

For the Signal Blocker Drug:
Please consider adding "Sight" and manipulation, to the existing consciousness and moving.

For the Activity Controller:
Please consider adding "Sight" to the existing consciousness, moving, and manipulation changes.

For both the Signal Blocker Drug and the Activity Controller:
Please consider removing setMax for Bionic Pawns (Although cap is understandable for balance).

Reasoning for suggestions:

For solo mechanitor, my pawn could use the signal blocker drug or activity controller to do some pawn only tasks, but was still left with 0% vision. I would like to use my bionic pawn without restrictions temporarily if possible.
