Revision as of 13:30, 25 November 2021

The Stoneskin Gland is an implant added by the Royalty DLC that gives the host pawn natural armor, in exchange for making them uglier and slower. It is the most protective and has the largest penalties of the three skin gland implants, being stronger than both the toughskin and armorskin glands.

Acquisition

It is made with 25 Plasteel and 8 advanced components at the fabrication bench, after the Skin Hardening research is completed. The required techprint can be obtained either by trade or completing quests for the Empire. They require a crafting skill of 8.

Summary

Pawns that are implanted with a stoneskin gland gain a bonus to Sharp/Blunt/Heat Armor by 70/30/50% respectively, considered as its own layer for the purposes of armor calculations. It also reduces pawn beauty by 2 and multiplies moving by 85%, a 15% reduction. In turn, the penalty to moving reduces the move speed, hunting stealth, and melee dodge chance of a pawn.

Installation

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

Removing the part requires 2,500 ticks (41.67 secs) of work, 1x medicine of ?? quality or better, and a Medical skill of 5.

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

Analysis

Stoneskin glands provide a moderate amount of protection. While not to the point where it's "very difficult" to hurt a user as the description implies, a 30% to 40% reduction in incoming DPS for most weapons is significant, and better than that of a set of normal steel plate armor while also stacking with any armor option.
