The Drill Arm gives a pawn that's been implanted with it +160% Mining Speed, +70% Deep Drilling Speed, and -8% Moving.
Acquisition
Drill arms can be made at a machining table once Specialized Limbs has been researched. Crafting one requires 60 Steel, 8 Componentss, 15,000 ticks (4.17 mins) of work and a crafting skill of 5.
They can also be bought from Outlanders and Empire settlements.
Analysis
The drill arm can be installed on pawns if one needs a lot of mining or deep drilling done quickly. The effect is especially potent for pawns with traits that modify global work speed, as the +160% / +70% bonus is added before multiplicative modifiers.
Example: a healthy pawn with a mining skill of 8 (x100%), a single drill arm (+160% for mining / +70% for deep drilling), a combination of very neurotic and industrious traits (x(40+35)%) in a lit environment will have: (100% + 160%) x 100% x 175% = 455% mining speed or 170% x 100% x 175% = 298% deep drilling speed. This already greatly speeds up work, while a second drill arm will result in 755% mining / 420% drilling speed, which is likely an overkill unless one needs a lot of resources mined quickly.
The field hand, a plant work - oriented counterpart, has the same behaviour in terms of bonus speed calculation.
Combat
Its attack have 20% AP and 6.50 DPS.
