Something that's always bugged me: Why are Constructs able to be healed from Menders or Silkwings?

These are basically the changes that would be applied universally to all Construct Families:

Constructs may not be healed by Menders or Silkwings. They however may be damaged from healing Poison.
New Construct Monster: Forge Guardian. Unlike the friendlies, the Silkwings, these Guardians provide Defense Buffs for all Constructs within its range. Does not affect any other Monster Family
All Constructs receive a health boost of about 25% in reply to the fact of not being able to be healed.
Constructs take more work to be knocked down. About a 30% resistance to being knocked down.

Why should Constructs not be able to be healed by Menders? They're holding wrenches, after all. And come to think of it, damaging them with poison doesn't make sense either. How do you poison a robot? :P

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

This suggestion would ruin so many combinations already established in the game. It would add unnecessary complications and make gremlins not compatible with constructs. I am sorry, but...

EDIT: Also, no dirt on anyone, but it would be kinda stupid, lore-wise, if gremlins built things that their menders could not repair. Why and how could they even do that? /shrug

Yeah, i have to agree. But

Yeah, i have to agree.

But let's give the idea a thought:

"Constructs may not..."

If your suggestion was "not be healed by silkwing" i would understand. But the menders, well, a healer heals live, a mender mends broken stuff.

"New Construct Monster: Forge Guardian..."

I'm so in for new monsters and stuff, but i think this still have something to develop to be acceptable.

"All Constructs receive..."
"Constructs take more work..."

I don't know about the knock down thing, but more resistant constructs seems just right.

There is nothing wrong with the current way of menders healing constructs.

Well, it makes sense that Menders can heal Constructs, as they built the things, so the wands that Menders use must have some type of repairing properties in the crystals embedded.

As far as Silkwings go, you mainly see them with Lumbers, which are made mostly of wood, and Silkwings can probably heal organic material as well as flesh/bone considering they heal Jellies.

Maybe they can just add a construct type healer?
