A bionic arm is an artificial body part that acts as a replacement for a pawn's natural arm, increasing Manipulation by 12.5% per arm while also offering a slightly more powerful punch attack and acting as a body part weapon.

Acquisition

Bionic arms can be crafted at a Fabrication bench once the Bionic replacements research project has been completed. They require Plasteel 15 Plasteel, Advanced component 4 Advanced components, 26,000 ticks (7.22 mins) of work, and a Crafting of 8

They can also be bought from exotic traders, Empire traders, and at Outlander faction bases. They are also sometimes offered as a quest reward.

Summary

Bionic 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 bionic arm has a part efficiency of 125%. This not only fully replaces the functionality of a normal arm - when coupled with the arm body part having a Manipulation importance of 50%, it results in an increase in manipulation of 12.5% for each bionic arm installed. Manipulation, in turn, affects a great many stats. For a full list of affected stats, see Manipulation.

A bionic arm also replaces the natural "Fist" attack all Humans have with an almost 50% more powerful, but otherwise equivalent, punch.

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

    Analysis

    Since bionic arms increase a pawn's manipulation capacity, it is advised to install them onto colonists with a high skill level in Crafting or Medicine since those skills depend greatly on manipulation. For example, a doctor will have a better chance at a high quality treatment if he or she has increased manipulation stats, and craftsmen will make objects faster (note that quality of crafted items is unaffected by the stat). If that option is not available, colonists with high Construction, Mining, Plants or Artistic skills will also benefit quite well from the upgrade while not compromising in the moving capacity, unlike more specialized bionics such as the Content added by the Royalty DLC Drill arm or the Content added by the Royalty DLC Field hand.

    As with all bionics, it will give a mood bonus to anyone with the Body modder trait and a heavy penalty to anyone with the Body purist trait. Similar effects are also applied to pawns following an Content added by the Ideology DLC ideoligion with a Body Modification precept.
