A bionic spine is an artificial body part that acts a total spine replacement. It provides 100% efficiency, the same as an organic spine.

Acquisition

Bionic spines can be crafted at a fabrication bench once the bionic replacements research project has been completed. Each requires Plasteel 15 Plasteel, Advanced component 4 Advanced components, 26,000 ticks (7.22 mins) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter, and a crafting skill of 8.

They can also be found in ancient shrines, offered as a quest reward, or bought from exotic traders, Empire traders, and at Outlander faction bases.

Summary

The bionic spine replaces a shattered or otherwise damaged spine, and both prevents and cures the bad back condition. It otherwise provides no other statistical, curative, or preventative benefit.

Installation

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

Removing the part requires 2,000 ticks (33.33 secs) of work, 1x medicine of herbal quality or better, and has no Medical skill requirements.

If the operation fails, the part has a 100% chance to be destroyed.

Analysis

As it does not provide additional efficiency, it's best as a replacement for a bad spine. Bionic spines can cure colonists with scarred or shattered spines, as well as the bad back condition from old age. Bad backs and scars are only otherwise curable with luciferium, a healer mech serum, biosculpter podContent added by the Ideology DLC bioregeneration cycle, or the scarless gene,Content added by the Biotech DLC which is naturally found on Sanguophages.Content added by the Biotech DLC A shattered spine can only otherwise be cured by a healer mech serum.

The bionic spine can also be useful to give to body modders for a mood buff without affecting any stats, with 6 installed parts giving the maximum mood buff. However bionic eyes, legs, and arms all cost the same as the bionic spine in silver or resources and, unlike the spine, give a stat boost to the relevant capacity. Two of each of these alternatives reaches the maximum buff and results in a significantly more capable colonist. Thus, the spine should only be used for this purpose if the other options are unavailable or otherwise contraindicated, such as on BlindsightContent added by the Ideology DLC pawns.
