Difference between revisions of "Prosthetic arm"

Revision as of 17:41, 1 January 2023

A prosthetic arm is an artificial body part that acts as a replacement for a pawn's natural arm. The least advanced of the arm replacements, prosthetic arms have a part efficiency of 50%, therefore one prosthetic arm and one healthy natural arm provides 75% manipulation, while having two prosthetic arms provides 50% manipulation.

Acquisition

Prosthetic arms can be crafted at a Machining table once the Prosthetics research project has been completed. They require 40 Steel, 4 Components, 15,000 ticks (4.17 mins) of work, and a Crafting skill of 5.

They can also sometimes be purchased from traders.

Summary

Body part

Prosthetic arms replace the user's organic arm up to, and including, the shoulder. They are universal and can be installed on either the left or right. The prosthetic arm has a part efficiency of 50%. This partially replaces the functionality of a normal arm - when coupled with the arm body part having a Manipulation importance of 50%, it results in restoring 25% manipulation per missing arm replaced, or a loss of 25% when replacing a healthy arm. Manipulation, in turn, affects a great many stats. For a full list of affected stats, see Manipulation.

Combat

A prosthetic arm replaces the natural "Fist" attack of the replaced arm with an completely identical punch.

Name		Damage	DPS	AP	Damage Type
	Human Fist	8.2	4.1	12%	Blunt
	Prosthetic arm	8.2		12%	Blunt

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 4.

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

The prosthetic arm can be used on essential pawns missing arms or hands before Bionics have been researched. Although they are inferior to normal arms, the increase in manipulation provides a major increase to combat and virtually any work type (other than Hauling).

Unlike organic parts, prosthetic arms don't contain subparts - all damage is taken by the main, 30 HP arm, instead of spread throughout the bones. Note that the prosthetic arm is fully attached to the shoulder. This means that a flak vest completely protects a bionic arm, but does not cover an organic arm at all. In addition, the artificial part never feels pain, never bleeds, and will never lose fingers in the first place.
