A '''bionic tongue''' acts as a replacement for a removed tongue. It has 100% part efficiency, perfectly replacing but not exceeding the capabilities of a natural tongue.

They can be crafted at a [[fabrication bench]] for 8 {{icon|plasteel}} [[plasteel]] and 2 {{icon|advcomponent}} [[advanced component]]s and are sometimes offered for sale by exotic traders and at Outlander bases. They require a crafting skill of 8.
−
Bionic tongues can be crafted at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]] once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. They require {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.

<!-- Copied from other Bionics, but idk if they are actually available from these avenues. When someone does check each element, the format should be similar to this, though obviously with only the relevant sections retained and/or added.

They can also be [[Trade|bought]] from exotic traders, [[Empire]] traders, and at [[Outlander]] [[faction base]]s. They are also sometimes offered as a [[quest]] reward.

Bionic tongues fully replace an organic tongue. Without a tongue, pawns have 0% [[Talking]] and are unable to:

Installing requires {{ticks|2500}} of work, and a [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] of 5.
−
* Initiate or responds to relationship requests, become lovers, or propose marriage
 
−
* Engage in conversations, good or bad.
 
−
** Will not be rebuff or be rebuffed by others
 
−
** Unable to trigger social fights by insulting others
 
−
** Unable to increase [[opinion]] of an existing romatic partner
 
−
* Will not try and convert others to their [[ideoligion]]{{IdeologyIcon}}.

* (to be checked): Unable to issue role commands {{IdeologyIcon}}

In addition, a pawn without a tongue is considered [[disfigured]], giving {{--|15}} [[opinion]] from others. They will also have a {{--|8}} ''Missing tongue'' [[mood]] debuff until the tongue is replaced.
+
== Analysis ==
 +
Body modders and transhumanists {{IdeologyIcon}} will be happier when using a bionic tongue.  Among the {{hover title|RimWorld base content without DLC|core RimWorld}} artificial parts that don't have any downsides, bionic tongues require the fewest [[advanced component]]s.  With [[Royalty DLC]], [[Venom fangs]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}, [[knee spike]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}}, and [[elbow blade]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}} can provide a similar benefit without requiring advanced components.

=== Installation ===
+
If [[Ideology DLC]] is installed, the [[biosculpter pod]] {{IdeologyIcon}} can be used to fix the tongue instead. Otherwise, only rare [[healer mech serum]]s can fix it.
−
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.
+
Replacing a missing tongue may not be necessary at all, however.  While very important on any pawn that uses their [[talking]] stat (wardening, trading, taming), other pawns face a tradeoff. Without a tongue a pawn will:

If the operation fails, the part will be destroyed.

* No longer initiate or responds to relationship requests

* Won't feel bad for being rebuffed or make others feel bad for rebuffing them

+
* Unable to become lovers or propose marriage to another pawn

The tongue itself cannot be damaged in unmodded RimWorld, except for the explicit [[surgery]] option to remove it. As a bionic tongue has the same stats as a regular tongue, installing one on a healthy pawn serves no physical purpose. If [[Ideology DLC]] is installed, the [[biosculpter pod]] {{IdeologyIcon}} can be used to restore the tongue at the cost of {{icon small|glitterworld medicine}} 2 instead. Otherwise, only the rare [[healer mech serum]]s can fix it.

* No longer engage in conversations

* Will not trigger social fights by insulting others

Replacing a missing tongue may not be necessary at all, however.  While very important on any pawn that uses their [[talking]] stat (wardening, trading, taming), other pawns face a tradeoff. It removes all negative conversations, which can help with [[trait]]s like Abrasive, but removes relationship penalties. Note that the [[healer mech serum]] can heal an  missing tongue in place of other ailments.

Body modders and transhumanists {{IdeologyIcon}} will be happier when using any artificial body part. Among the {{hover title|RimWorld base content without DLC|core RimWorld}} artificial parts that don't have any downsides, bionic tongues require the fewest [[advanced component]]s. This should be compared to [[denture]]s and [[cochlear implant]]s, which only gives a penalty to jobs using the Social or Animals skills. With the [[Royalty DLC]], [[Venom fangs]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}, [[knee spike]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}}, and [[elbow blade]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}} can provide a similar benefit without requiring advanced components.
