I suppose it's actually something like:
Shutdown: 0
You are immune to starvation (B426) and suffocation (B436). If you would lose fatigue due to starvation or suffocation, you instead become unconscious; this persists until the lack is corrected, at which point you recover normally (this is effectively a limited form of Doesn't Breathe and Doesn't Eat or Drink, plus a disadvantage for going unconscious immediately).
Which seems off, because Robocop's brain dies if he runs out of paste to eat. I suppose that could be Machine and Dependency (Nutrient paste) though.

On the other hand, AI-guy can still be rebooted even if he was in a bioshell, which wouldn't have Machine.
