The '''bionic heart''' is an organ replacement that replaces the [[heart]] and improves [[blood pumping]], giving a small boost to a wide range of stats and tasks.

== Acquisition ==
{{Acquisition}}

They can also be found in [[ancient shrine]]s, offered as a [[quest]] reward, or [[Trade|bought]] from exotic traders, [[Empire]] traders, and at [[Outlander]] [[faction base]]s.

== Summary ==
The bionic heart replaces an organic heart and has a part efficiency of 125%, which improves [[blood pumping]] by {{+|25%}}. This increases the [[Rest Rate Multiplier]] by about {{+|8%}}, and [[Moving]] by {{Good|x105%}}. The Moving boost is a multiplier, rather than added on, so it further improves other movement increases. For example, 125% Moving, reached with 2 [[bionic leg]]s, will be increased to 131% (125% * 1.05) rather than 130% (125% + 5%). 

Artificial hearts are also immune to [[heart attack]]s and [[artery blockage]]s, preventing future cases and curing existing ones.

By installing a bionic heart, the pawn's natural [[heart]], if perfectly healthy, is harvested without a penalty. This organic heart can then be sold or stored for later use.

=== 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 5.

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 has a chance {{Check Tag|What Chance?}} to be destroyed.

== Analysis ==
Like [[bionic stomach]]s, bionic hearts are of less obvious importance than [[bionic leg]]s, [[bionic arm|arms]] or [[Bionic eye|eyes]] due to its less impactful stat boosts. Even though the bonuses are small, faster sleep and movement help improve the productivity of a colonist. The movement speed in particular can make a difference when fleeing animals or mechanoids, and can be installed after legs. The bionic heart also stops and prevents [[heart attack]]s, which makes it very useful for [[wake-up]] users or old people, especially if they already have an artery blockage.

Unlike the [[prosthetic heart]] or a natural, biological heart, there is not a 25% chance of instant death in the event of failed installation. This makes it significantly safer to install. It also only requires a medical skill of 5 compared to the organic heart's 8. The prosthetic is lower still, requiring only 4.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/0.19.2009|0.19.2009]] - Added.
