The liver regulates most chemical levels in the blood and excretes a product called bile. This helps carry away waste products from the liver. All the blood leaving the stomach and intestines passes through the liver. Destruction of the liver is instantly fatal.

Acquisition[edit]

Summary[edit]

Livers are a vital part for humans; losing one will instantly kill them. Livers account for 100% of Blood Filtration and 50% of Digestion.

Blood Filtration has a 0.1x effect on Consciousness, so losing 90% of the liver means -9% Consciousness, which affects a wide variety of stats. It also has a 0.5x effect on Immunity Gain Speed, so a damaged liver will make diseases much more deadly. Finally, damage to Digestion reduces the Rest Rate Multiplier, which makes a pawn sleep for longer periods to become fully rested.

Installation[edit]

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

Removing the part requires 2,000 ticks (33.33 secs) of work, 1x medicine of herbal quality or better, and has no Medical skill requirements.

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

Analysis[edit]

Harvesting from a guest will inflict massive goodwill penalties, and harvesting from a colonist will bring even more mood penalties, so simply steal organs from a prisoner. If you want a colonist dead, it's best to imprison them first.

Total destruction of the liver is instantly fatal, while Consciousness and Immunity Gain Speed are important stats. Thus, you should replace damaged livers on valuable colonists as soon as possible. It must be noted that the Liver is the only organ that has no current bionic replacement.

Trade[edit]

Livers are worth 1,200, worth exactly the same as a heart. However, the heart can be replaced by the cheaper prosthetic heart; by installing the prosthetic, you can obtain both the heart and the liver.

A completely removed heart/liver will kill a pawn. Therefore, it's best to harvest a kidney and a lung before taking the liver. This is worth 1,000 + 900 + 1,200 = 3100, before accounting for Market Price or the prosthetic heart. This comes at the usual mood penalties, unless you have a colony filled with Psychopaths or a favorable Ideoligion. A Royal Tribute Collector will ignore lost organs for sold prisoners, as long as they can walk.

Version history[edit]

0.7.581 - Item form added, and now harvestable.

-The liver regulates most chemical levels in the blood and excretes a product called bile. This helps carry away waste products from the liver. All the blood leaving the stomach and intestines passes through the liver.  The liver accounts for up to 100% of a person's [[blood filtration]] along with the kidneys, and 50% of a person's [[metabolism]]. Destruction of the liver is instantly fatal.
