The '''field hand''' is an [[artificial body part]] that provides both the functionality of a normal hand, while also increasing [[Plant Work Speed|Plant work speed]] by 160% and inflicting a -8% [[Moving]] penalty.

== Acquisition ==
Field hands can be made at a [[machining table]] once [[Research#Specialized limbs|Specialized Limbs]] has been researched. Crafting one requires {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work and a [[crafting]] skill of 5.

They can also be [[trade|bought]] from [[Outlanders]] and [[Empire]] settlements.

The pawns that populate Farming [[work site]]s owned by an Outlander or [[Pirate]] factions, including minor factions, very commonly spawn with field hands.

== Summary ==
===Body part===
Field hands replace the user's organic hand. They are universal and can be installed on either the left or right. This is a hand replacement, and cannot be installed on an artificial or missing arm.

The field hand acts as a fully functional hand, providing '''100%''' [[Manipulation]]. This fully replaces the functionality of a regular arm, but with no enhancement. Manipulation, in turn, affects a great many stats. For a full list of stats, see [[Manipulation]].

===Other effects===
Each field hand installed gives {{+|160%}} [[Plant Work Speed]]. Note that this is an offset to the base value of the stat, which is then multiplied by factors like [[Global Work Speed]] and [[Manipulation]]. This means that the final value can be significantly higher. The effect of multiple field hands will stack.

Each field hand also inflicts a {{--|8%}} [[Moving]] penalty. Moving, in turn, affects the following [[stats]]: {{#ask: [[Moving Importance::+]]}}. This results in a directly proportional change to a pawn's [[move speed]], and a improvement in [[melee dodge chance]] equivalent to an losing {{--|{{#expr: {{Q|Melee Dodge Chance|Moving Importance}}*0.08}}}} levels of [[Melee]] skill per arm replaced.

=== Combat ===
A field arm replaces the natural "Fist" attack of the replaced hand.

</li></div>

=== Installation ===
Installing the part requires {{Ticks|2500}} of work, 2x medicine of [[Herbal medicine|herbal]] quality or better, and a [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] of 4.

Removing the part requires {{Ticks|2000}} of work, 1x medicine of [[Herbal medicine|herbal]] quality or better, and has no [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] requirements.

If the operation fails, the part will be destroyed.

== Analysis ==
Field hands offer an extreme boost to planting speed. With 1 field hand, a Plants 0 pawn sows and harvests as fast as a baseline Plants 13 pawn. With 2 field hands, this same pawn works ''faster'' than a Plants 20 pawn. While the field hand disables the use of a work-enhancing [[bionic arm]] or [[archotech arm]], if a pawn's primary job is to grow, then a field hand offers a clear benefit. (Note that this implant does not increase [[Plant Harvest Yield]], so your Plants 0 pawn will not get much per harvest).

Planting is essential to virtually every colony. Crops are a mostly stable form of food, and this skill can also be used to grow useful products like [[drug]]s, [[cloth]], and [[devilstrand]]. Even on the [[sea ice]], (successful) colonies will eventually reach [[hydroponics]] and be able to farm. You may want to consider planting [[rice plant|rice]]; since the field hand is ''so'' efficient, the workload of rice is easily managed.

This comes at a cost of movement speed. In addition to the reduced efficiency in regards to day-to-day work, installing a field hand will hinder a pawn's performance in combat. For ranged fighters, slower movement means that [[kiting]] tactics are no longer as viable. For melee fighters, the Moving penalty directly encumbers a pawn's [[melee dodge chance]]. This can be eventually compensated, partially, by using [[bionic leg]]s.

Field hands can also be used to replace a missing hand. Compared to the [[wooden hand]], the field hand offers {{+|10%}} [[Manipulation]] for {{--|8%}} [[Moving]].

== Version history ==
* [[Royalty DLC]] initial release - Added 
* [[Version/1.1.2565|1.1.2565]] - 50% part efficiency increased to 100%, plant work speed buff reduced from 180% to 160%. -8% Moving penalty added.
