Toughskin gland
This bionic gland releases chemicals and nanomachines that toughen the skin, making it somewhat more resistant to damage. While it doesn't add as much protection as some other skin-hardening glands, the toughskin gland has the advantage of not noticeably altering the user's appearance.

The Toughskin Gland is an implant added by the Royalty DLC that gives the host pawn natural armor, in exchange for making them slower. It is the least protective and has the smallest penalties of the three skin gland implants, being weaker than both the armorskin and and stoneskin glands.
Acquisition
Toughskin glands can be crafted at a Fabrication bench once the Skin hardening research project has been completed. The required techprint can be obtained either by trade or completing quests for the Empire. They require 15 Plasteel, 4 Advanced components, 26,000 ticks (7.22 mins) of work, and a Crafting skill of 8.
Summary
| This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Please add a reason . |
Pawns that are implanted with a toughskin gland gain a bonus to Sharp/Blunt/Heat Armor by 35/10/30% respectively, considered as its own layer for the purposes of armor calculations. It also multiplies moving by a factor of 95%, a 5% reduction. In turn, the penalty to moving reduces the move speed, hunting stealth, and melee dodge chance of a pawn.
It does not reduce pawn beauty like the other skin gland implants.
The armor rating of the gland still protects body parts replaced by artificial body parts, even if they would not logically have skin. This is likely to prevent them from being a detriment to survivability.

It provides slight protection, although many attacks have an armor penetration that negate a large part of the protection of this gland.
