The Archotech eye is an eye replacement which provides 150% sight efficiency. A superior version of the bionic eye.

Acquisition

Archotech eyes cannot be crafted. They can only be obtained through trade, as a reward from quests, from raiding ancient shrines, from security and hermetic crates, or at an extremely rare rate from random drop pod crashing.

Installation

Installing the part requires 2,500 ticks (41.67 secs) of work, 2x medicine of herbal quality or better, and a Medical skill of 5.

Removing the part requires ? of work, ?x medicine of ?? quality or better, and a Medical skill of ?.

If the operation fails, the part has a chance^{[What Chance?]} to be destroyed.

Analysis

Installing a single archotech eye increases sight by 38%, and a second increases it by 12% to the expected 150%, since the game gives a greater weighting on the more capable part when calculating sight, with the best eye contributing 75% of a pawn's sight capability.

The Archotech eye can be very useful for combat as it greatly increases both melee and ranged accuracy. Cooking speed is also substantially improved. Vision above 100% also grants a bonus to melee dodge, medical tend quality, medical tend speed, and research speed. While most other skills are impacted by sight, they have 100% sight caps and will only see an effect if the colonist has their vision impaired for some reason.

A single archotech eye is enough to cap research and medical tend speed, and brings medical tend quality and melee dodge to very near their cap (138 / 140). Adding a second, bionic eye will hit these caps as well.
