Difference between revisions of "Artificial body parts"

Artificial body parts are - as the name would imply - non-organic body parts that exist with the purpose of replacing a missing or damaged body part. There are a variety of different body parts that can be prosthetically replaced in/on pawns. Some replace damaged natural body parts, others are improvements for the original organ. Some offer implanted weaponry or additional capabilities.

Most prostheses fall loosely under one of several categories based on tech-level and research:

Neolithic/Medieval: Crude wooden replacements, but better than nothing
Prosthetics: "Modern" replacements that are still inferior to their natural human limb/organ, or specialized parts that come with some drawback.
Bionics: futuristic replacements, better than the original, or exact replicas that are immune to health issues.
Archotech: ultimate, futuristic replacements which cannot be crafted.

In many cases, there is not an equivalent part for every tech level - there is not always a primitive, prosthetic, bionic, and archotech version of a given part. In the case of implants, they are usually available in one form only.

Comparison to Flesh

Artificial parts offer some benefits over regular, fleshy counterparts:

Damaged parts cannot become infected or scarred
- Certain parts can prevent health conditions like cataracts, bad backs, and heart attacks.
Injuries to artificial body parts do not cause pain.

Like organic body parts, artificial parts heal naturally over time, and will be destroyed if the part reaches 0 health.

Installation and Removal

There are two types of artificial parts: implants and prosthetics. Implants are attached to the natural flesh body part, while prosthetics are replacements that require the original to be removed.

Installing artificial body parts requires medical skill, with a minimum of 3 for wooden parts up to a minimum of 5 for implants. Parts can be installed regardless of if they have been researched, as the research is only required to manufacture the parts.

Most prosthetics and implants can be uninstalled freely to retrieve the item back, with the exception of joywires, mindscrews and death acidifiers. Artificial parts cannot be uninstalled from corpses.

Part Compatibility

Most implants are compatible with all other implants with the exception of skin glands. However, prosthetic parts cannot have other prosthetic parts or implants installed on them; a bionic arm cannot have a field hand prosthetic or elbow blade implant attached.

Head

Brain

All brain implants are compatible and can be installed at once, even if their effects cancel each other out.

Name	Type	Effects
Joywire	Implant	+30 mood buff -20% Consciousness Cannot be removed
Painstopper	Implant	Pain x0%
Circadian assistant	Implant	-20% Rest fall rate (awake longer) susceptible to brain shock
Circadian half-cycler	Implant	Never sleep -15% Consciousness susceptible to brain shock
Learning assistant	Implant	Global Learning Factor +20% susceptible to brain shock
Mindscrew	Implant	+20% pain Cannot be removed
Neurocalculator	Implant	Research Speed + 20% susceptible to brain shock
Psychic harmonizer	Implant	This pawn's mood affects others nearby
Psychic reader	Implant	Negotiation Ability +50%
Psychic sensitizer	Implant	Psychic Sensitivity +25%

Eyes

Name	Type	Effects
Archotech eye	Prosthetic	150% efficiency
Bionic eye	Prosthetic	125% efficiency

Ears

Name	Type	Effects
Bionic ear	Prosthetic	125% efficiency
Cochlear implant	Prosthetic	65% efficiency

Nose

Name	Type	Effects
Aesthetic nose	Prosthetic^[1]	Beauty +1
Gastro-analyzer	Implant	Cooking speed +5.0

^1 The aesthetic nose can be installed when a nose is missing, but has a remove option similar to implants. This allows it to leave behind a fully healed nose when uninstalled, even if the nose was missing before it was installed.

Mouth

Name	Type	Effects
Denture	Prosthetic	80% efficiency cannot have a tongue
Bionic tongue	Prosthetic^[1]	100% efficiency
Venom fangs	Implant	toxic bite attack: - 15 damage - 2 second attack - 22% Armor Penetration - Toxic buildup in enemy

^1 The bionic tongue cannot be installed without a jaw, despite being able to have a natural tongue without a jaw.

Limbs

Arms

All arms except for the drill arm replace everything from the shoulder down. The drill arm requires a functional shoulder to attach to.

Name	Type	Effects
Archotech arm	Prosthetic	150% Part efficiency 14 damage punch - 2 second attack 21% Armor Penetration
Bionic arm	Prosthetic	125% Part efficiency 12 damage punch - 2 second attack
Prosthetic arm	Prosthetic	50% efficiency 8.2 damage punch (same as default) - 2 second attack
Drill arm	Prosthetic	+70% Deep Drilling Speed +160% Mining Speed -8% Movement speed stabbing attack: - 13 damage - 2 second attack - 20% Armor Penetration
Elbow blade	Implant	cut attack: - 18 damage - 2 second attack - 27% Armor Penetration

Hands

Name	Type	Effects
Wooden hand	Prosthetic	60% Part efficiency cannot punch
Power claw	Prosthetic	-8% Movement speed Scratch attack: - 22 damage - 2 second attack - 33% Armor Penetration
Field hand	Prosthetic	Plant work speed + 160% -8% Movement speed 9 damage punch - 2 second attack 13% Armor Penetration
Hand talon	Implant	Scratch attack: 15 damage - 1.5 second attack - 15% Armor Penetration
Venom talon	Implant	toxic scratch attack: - 11 damage - 1.5 second attack - 15% Armor Penetration - Toxic buildup in enemy

Organs

Pawns require their heart and liver, and at least 1 kidney and 1 lung to survive.

Kidney	Natural Organ	Filters toxins and pathogens from blood
Liver	Natural Organ	Filters toxins from the blood
