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 scarring are only curable with luciferium, a healer mech serum, or a biosculpter podContent added by the Ideology DLC bioregeneration cycle, while a shattered spine can only 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.
