Fleshmass lung

The fleshmass lung is a body part added by the Anomaly DLC that replaces a human lung and provides enhanced resistance to some effects and, if the Biotech DLC is active, toxic environment resistance.

Acquisition

Like other mutated body parts, the Fleshmass lung can not be harvested from a pawn. But pawns can start with one in the Anomaly starting scenario.

Twisted obelisk

The Fleshmass lung is one of the options for random mutation that may be selected by the twisted obelisk during either random activation or intentional mutation.

Random activations only occur when suppressing or studying the obelisk, and happen on average every 24 hours spent doing so. Should a body part mutation be selected as the outcome, it will target the pawn studying or suppressing the obelisk, instantly replacing the normal version of the part. There is a ~16.7% chance for the Fleshmass lung to be selected as the outcome. See the twisted obelisk page for further information on other possible outcomes.

Intentional mutations can be performed once the obelisk has been sufficiently studied and are triggered and targeted by the player. A single non-ghoul human^[Verify] pawn^{[Colonist only?]} can be targeted for mutation, after which there is a 5 day cooldown. There is a 25% chance for the Fleshmass lung to be selected as the outcome.

Regardless of source, mutations cannot replace artificial body parts or existing fleshmass parts, and the mutation attempt will fail with no other effect should such a part be randomly targeted. Note that that any cooldowns will still be enforced. Mutations can replace missing body parts however.

Summary

The fleshmass lung replace the user's organic lung. The fleshmass lung has a part efficiency of 100%. This fully replaces the functionality of a normal lung but provides no direct enhancement - when coupled with the lung body part having a Breathing importance of 50%, it results in an increase in breathing of up to 50% when replacing a missing or totally inoperable lung. Breathing, in turn, affects Moving, Consciousness if below 100%, and Rest Rate Multiplier.

A fleshmass lung inflicts +6% Pain on its bearer and, if the Biotech DLC is active, also increases their Toxic Environment Resistance by +30%. This reduces the amount of toxic buildup from toxic fallout, tox gas, and pollution by 30%. Replacing both lungs stacks to the maximum of +60% resistance. Note that it does not prevent the other effects of tox gas.

Fleshmass lungs are also fully immune to asthma and lung rot, and will cure these aliments in that lung.

Note that the fleshmass lung has no item form.

Removal

Spawns a fleshbeast when removed - the fleshbeast spawns stunned initially.

Removing the part requires ???? of work, ??x medicine of herbal quality or better, and a Medical skill skill of ????.

Analysis

In terms of effectiveness, Fleshmass lungs are typically inferior to the Detoxifier lung. However, they are effectively free upgrades, requiring only to wait for the cooldown and patience with the RNG. For colonists with the masochist trait or a colony with the Idealized Pain Precept, the pain that comes from the Fleshmass Lungs might even make them preferable to Detoxifier Lungs.
