The Prosthetic heart is a heart replacement with 80% efficiency. It affects Blood pumping and several dependent stats - due to its below-normal part efficiency it negatively affects healthy pawns but may benefit injured or unhealthy ones.

Acquisition

Prosthetic hearts can be crafted on a Machining table. They require 25 steel, 4 components and a crafting skill of 5.

Summary

Installation

Installing the part requires 2,500 ticks (41.67 secs) of work, ?x medicine of ?? 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

Installing a prosthetic heart will instantly cure any artery blockages and prevent heart attacks from any source, including drugs. It can thus be useful on old or drug-using pawns. However the decrease in blood pumping has a number of carry-on effects including a Move Speed reduction of 7.5%, equivalent to a prosthetic leg, and a 4% reduction in Consciousness, Manipulation, Talking, and Eating. Additionally, they require 6% more sleep due to the 94% Rest Rate Multiplier. The reduction in consciousness and manipulation mean than that almost all tasks will be completed slightly slower. Finally this also results in a 20.3% reduction in an otherwise healthy pawn's market value.

Installing a prosthetic heart on a healthy patient will yield a normal Heart. Normal organ harvesting penalties apply when harvesting a heart in this way.^{[Fact Check]} However, it used to be possible to harvest better organs this way without killing them and without mood or reputation penalties.

On the plus side, prosthetic hearts provide a fairly cheap (25 steel, 4 components per heart) method of harvesting one of all harvestable body parts. Just remember to harvest the Liver last and that you cannot reclaim the heart from a lifeless corpse

While it does provide a buff to pawns with the Body modder trait, its negative effects on healthy pawns means it should be passed over for other, less detrimental prostheses.

Installing the prosthetic heart requires a medicine skill of 4. If the installation surgery fails, there is a 25% chance that the patient dies. Thus, there is always at least a 0.5% chance of death when installing.

-Installing a prosthetic heart will instantly cure any [[artery blockage]]s and prevent [[heart attack]]s from any source, including [[drugs]]. It can thus be useful on old or drug-using pawns. However the decrease in blood pumping has a number of carry-on effects including a [[Move Speed]] reduction of 7.5% (the same as a [[prosthetic leg]]), and a 4% reduction in [[Consciousness]], [[Manipulation]], [[Talking]], and [[Eating]]. Additionally, they require 6% more sleep due to the 94% [[Rest Rate Multiplier]]. The reduction in consciousness and manipulation mean than that almost all tasks will be completed slightly slower.  The result is also a 20.3% reduction in a healthy pawn's character value, if you're concerned about [[Slavery|slave]] value.
