A bionic jaw is an artificial body part that acts as a replacement for a pawn's natural jaw, increasing the Talking and Eating capacities.

Acquisition[edit]

Bionic jaws can be crafted at a fabrication bench once the bionic replacements research project has been completed. Each requires Plasteel 10 Plasteel, Advanced component 3 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.[Verify]

Summary[edit]

StumpChoppedA (cropped).png
This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Talking and Eating importance/caps are wrong on the capacity pages. The actual desc needs to be implemented there and explained here,.

A Bionic jaw replaces an organic jaw and has a part efficiency of 125%, improving both Talking and Eating by +25%. This increases the Eating speed by +23.75%.

The following stats are also affected: Trade Price Improvement, Social Impact, Negotiation Ability, Conversion Power, Train Animal Chance, Tame Animal Chance. Note however that, as of the time of writing, no stat is improved by a Talking capacity above 100%. However, a bonus will provide a buffer against stat and capacity penalties from other sources.

It also removes the Disfigured condition from pawns missing a jaw or a tongue. Installing a Bionic Jaw will replace any previously installed Bionic Tongues, and it is impossible to install a tongue on a colonist with a Bionic Jaw. This means that the Bionic Jaw is superior to a Bionic Tongue in every way.

Installation[edit]

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 will be destroyed.

Analysis[edit]

A bionic jaws combines well with a joywire for dedicated wardens. It cancels the penalty to talking and eating from lowered consciousness. This combination can help take advantage of Moral Guides from secondary ideoligions without having to worry about their mood. However, bionic jaws will not nullify the effect of the joywire on manipulation and moving, greatly penalizing most other types of work and combat effectiveness.

The only other type of work requiring good talking is animal handling. However, the relevant stats, Tame Animal Chance and Train Animal Chance both allow for a maximum 20% defect to talking, making the bionic jaw unnecessary.

For any other pawn, there is very little benefit from having a bionic jaw over a natural jaw.

For pawns with a missing jaw, then the bionic jaw must be compared to a denture. A denture is virtually free, except for the medicine used to install it. Both replacements will remove the disfigured social penalty.

For the purpose of wealth management, a pawn with a denture will have a wealth value around 30% lower compared to the same pawn with a natural jaw. With a bionic jaw, the same pawn will have a value increased by 785 silvers. A denture is therefore a much better choice for the purpose of wealth management.

The increase to eating will allow a pawn to eat and to consume several types of food by about 23.75%. However, since a pawn spends only a tiny amount of time eating everyday, the benefit of this is negligible.
