===Pain===
{{:Pain}}

==Treatment==
For most injuries, you can treat [[Colonist|colonists]] with or without [[Medical Kit|medkits]] (with typically better results if you do use one), and also have them lay in [[Hospital Bed|hospital beds]] to further improve the chance of them being treated properly.

===Improper Treatment===
Treating an an injury poorly ''may'' result in [[Scar|scarring]] or reduced [[Stats#Healing Rate|healing rate]].

===Operations===
Under the [[Health]] tab, you can assign an operation to a [[colonist]].

=====Transplants=====
For missing [[Organ|internal organs]], either a donor organ can be used or an artificial one.

=====Limb Replacement=====
From [[Peg Leg|peg legs]] to [[Bionic Arm|bionic arms]], you could either replace a colonists' missing limbs, augment them, or cruelly punish your [[Raider|enemies]] with peg legs out of spite.

==Future==
{{v|{{:Version}}}}
*Tynan has hinted that there may be artificial limbs (potentially even cybernetic replacements) in Alpha 7.
