Simple prosthetic arms can sometimes be purchased from traders. A simple prosthetic arm has 50% efficiency. Therefore, one simple prosthetic arm and one healthy arm provide 75% manipulation. Having two simple prosthetic arms provide 50% manipulation.

If the doctor performing the operation to install a prosthetic arm fails a skill check during the operation then the prosthetic arm is destroyed.

Summary

Installing requires 2,500 ticks (41.67 secs) of work, and a Medical skill of 4.

Acquisition

A prosthetic arm can be crafted at a machining table once the Prosthetics research is completed. It requires Steel 40 Steel, Component 4 Components, 15,000 ticks (4.17 mins), and a Crafting skill of 5.

Analysis

The prosthetic arm can be used on essential pawns missing arms before Bionics have been researched, such as the only grower in the colony or the best shooter in a hardcore playthrough. Although they are inferior to normal arms, they may be necessary to ensure the survival of the colony.
