{{Info|Scyther blades are melee weapons normally found attached to scythers, but can be surgically attached to colonists.  Once a scyther has been downed, they can be removed and installed onto a colonist as replacements for their fists. A scyther blade cannot be salvaged if it has been damaged or if the scyther is dead. To remove a blade, add a bill in the scyther's Health, Modifications tab. Only a colonist set as a constructor can extract the blade. Two scyther blades make up one of the best melee weapons in the game, out-DPS'ing a normal plasteel [[longsword]] (12.12 vs 10).

When meleeing a target, a colonist with no weapon often switches hands to attack. This means that a colonist with one blade and one normal fist is less effective than having two blades. A colonist equipped with one or more blades should not wield a melee weapon because they will use the weapon instead of their blades.

Despite being impractical outside combat, Scyther blades are extremely valuable with a base market price of 2000 silver. Even if you don't plan on using them, you should still harvest blades from downed scythers so you can sell them for profit.

The Scyther blade is a mechanoid body part attached to scythers only and used in replacement of melee weapons or fists. Colonists set as a constructors can remove these (add a bill in the Health, Modifications tab) from downed but not dead scythers, so long as it hasn't been lost during combat. Then it can be surgically installed to colonists with natural arms. If an installed scyther blade is replaced with an artificial arm or another hand attachment, the blade will be removed and boxed for reuse. Scyther blades are extremely valuable items with a base market price of 2000 silver. When social fighting, colonists will not use the scyther blade to hit the opponent.


A scyther blade deals 20 damage, compared to 6 damage from a fist but comes with a significant tradeoff by reducing manipulation efficiency to 40%. A colonist with only one normal hand and a blade on the other has 60% manipulation. A colonist with two blades will have 20% manipulation, making one great at melee by out-DPS'ing a normal plasteel longsword (12.12 vs 10), but not so good at anything needing manipulation. Blade installed colonists shall not wield any weapon when meleeing, as they will use the weapon instead of their blades, losing damage output.
