The '''aesthetic nose''' is an [[artificial body part]] that replaces the organic nose and improves the [[pawn beauty|beauty]] of the implanted pawn.
+
The '''Aesthetic Nose''' gives a pawn that's been implanted with it a bonus of +1 to [[Traits#Beauty|beauty]], corresponding to +20 opinion from other colonists.

Aesthetic noses can be crafted at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]] once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. The required [[techprint]] can be obtained either by [[trade]] or completing [[quests]] for the [[Empire]]. They require {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.
+
Aesthetic noses can be made at the [[fabrication bench]], after the [[Research#Flesh shaping|Flesh Shaping]] research is completed. This research requires the Flesh Shaping [[techprint]] to unlock.
 +
Crafting the part requires {{icon|plasteel|10}} [[Plasteel]], {{icon|advcomponent|2}} [[advanced component]]s and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make #}}}} of work. They require a crafting skill of 8.
  
The required techprint can be obtained either by trade or completing quests for the Empire. The part itself can be obtained by trade, quests or found on [[raiders]] and [[visitor]]s.

== Summary ==

== Analysis ==  
An aesthetic nose replaces the pawn's biological nose. The aesthetic nose increases a [[pawn beauty|pawn's beauty]] by {{+|1}}, which increases the pawn's market value, and also increases other pawn's opinion of them by {{+|20}}. Note that all pawn beauty modifiers are additive and that a net change in pawn beauty above +2 or below -2 will have no further effect. See [[pawn beauty]] for more details.
+
The aesthetic nose both improves the beauty of the pawn and replaces a missing nose. Thus, it is useful for social harmony by keeping opinions high, both by the +20 of having +1 beauty but also by avoiding the "Disfigured" opinion penalty a missing nose creates. This bonus and removal of a malus can be also help couple up a particular pawn or keep an existing couple together and happy by increasing their opinion of each other.
  
It can be used to replace a destroyed or missing nose, removing the "[[disfigured]]" penalty for missing a nose.
+
The [[Gastro-analyzer]] and aesthetic nose cannot be installed on the same pawn.  
  
The aesthetic nose does not add any stat offsets to the pawn other than beauty. It cannot be used at the same time as a [[gastro-analyzer]]. This is intended behavior.<ref>"''Gastro-analyzer is an implant INTO the nose, while aesthetic nose REPLACES the nose. You can't install a gastro analyzer into a aesthetic nose; it's one or the other.''" - Tynan Sylvester, [https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=51123.msg474313#msg474313 Cannot replace destroyed gastro-analyzer] on ''Ludeon forums''.</ref>

Although the aesthetic nose can be added to a pawn missing their organic nose and theoretically replaces one, when it is subsequently removed through the "Remove aesthetic nose (nose)" operation, a healthy organic nose will be left behind even if it was missing or damaged before.  
+
This is the only part incompatibility meaning, besides Wealth, there is no reason not to install this part on non-cooking pawns. However its small effect also make doing so a low priority.
  
=== Installation ===
+
There are conflicting reports that beauty improves [[Trade]] prices, but these are currently unconfirmed.
Installing the part requires {{Ticks|2500}} of work, 2x medicine of [[Herbal medicine|herbal]] quality or better, and a [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] of 5.
 
 
 
Removing the part requires {{Ticks|2500}} of work, 1x medicine of [[Herbal medicine|herbal]] quality or better, and a [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] of 5.
 
 
 
If the operation fails, the part will be destroyed.
 
 
 
== Analysis ==
 
The aesthetic nose both improves the beauty of the pawn and replaces a missing nose. Thus, it is useful for social harmony by keeping opinions high, both by the +20 of having +1 beauty but also by avoiding the "[[disfigured]]" opinion penalty a missing nose creates. This bonus and removal of a malus can also help couple up a particular pawn or keep an existing couple together and happy by increasing their opinion of each other.
 
 
 
It can also be particularly useful to compensate for reduced beauty: it can cancel out the opinion malus from the [[ugly]] trait or the beauty reduction from the [[armorskin gland]].{{RoyaltyIcon}} When combined with the [[aesthetic shaper]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} they can compensate for the opinion malus from the [[staggeringly ugly]] trait or the beauty reduction from the [[stoneskin gland]].{{RoyaltyIcon}}
 
 
 
Increasing a pawn's beauty above 2 has no additional effect on opinion. For example, a [[beautiful]] pawn will have a {{+|40}} opinion boost, with or without the aesthetic nose being installed, despite the pawn's beauty being 3 with the implant, which should result in a {{+|60}} opinion bonus otherwise. The same restriction also applies to the [[aesthetic shaper]].{{RoyaltyIcon}} Also, keep in mind that the opinion bonus is '''completely''' disregarded if the pawn is [[disfigured]] (e.g. due to injury on the eyes or ears). Beauty and disfigurement also never affect the opinions of pawns who have the [[Kind]] or [[Psychopath]] traits, or who are completely [[Sight|blind]].
 
 
 
The nose can also be be used to regrow a pawn's organic nose without needing to use a [[Biosculpter pod]]'s bioregeneration cycle or a [[Healer mech serum]]. This is useful if you want to remove the "disfigured" penalty but do not require the {{+|1}} beauty (such as if a pawn has the [[Beautiful]] trait which results in the maximum effective pawn beauty of +2), or if you want to install a [[gastro-analyzer]] which can only be installed in an organic nose. Either way, the aesthetic nose can then be reused on a different pawn.
 
 
 
The [[gastro-analyzer]] and aesthetic nose cannot be installed on the same pawn. This is the only part incompatibility, meaning that besides wealth, there is no reason not to install this part on non-cooking pawns. Even then, due to the fairly easily reached maximum effective [[cooking speed]], a pawn with 15 or higher skill and other augmentations (e.g. [[Bionic eye|bionic eyes]] or [[Bionic arm|bionic arms]]) is unlikely to benefit from a gastro-analyzer anyway. However, its small effect makes installing an aesthetic nose a low priority regardless.
