Artificial body parts are - as the name would imply - non-organic body parts that exist with the purpose of replacing a missing or damaged body part. There are a variety of different body parts that can be prosthetically replaced in/on pawns. Some replace damaged natural body parts, others are improvements for the original organ. Some offer implanted weaponry or additional capabilities.

Most prostheses fall loosely under one of several categories based on tech-level and research:

  • Neolithic/Medieval: Crude wooden replacements, but better than nothing
  • Prosthetics: "Modern" replacements that are still inferior to their natural human limb/organ, or specialized parts that come with some drawback.
  • Bionics: futuristic replacements, better than the original, or exact replicas that are immune to health issues.
  • Archotech: ultimate, futuristic replacements which cannot be crafted.

In many cases, there is not an equivalent part for every tech level - there is not always a primitive, prosthetic, bionic, and archotech version of a given part. In the case of implants, they are usually available in one form only.

Comparison to Flesh[edit]

Artificial parts offer some benefits over regular, fleshy counterparts:

  • They are immune to certain health conditions. None can be infected or scarred, while health conditions like cataracts, bad backs, and heart attacks are prevented, depending on the part.
  • Injuries to artificial body parts do not cause pain.

Like organic body parts, artificial parts heal naturally over time, and will be destroyed if the part reaches 0 health.

Body Modders and Purists[edit]

Pawns with the Body modder or Body purist Traits will either get a Mood bonus or penalty depending on how many artificial body parts they have, if any at all, while also gaining different Social opinions of other pawns, depending on if they also have artificial parts installed. Nearly every single artificial enhancement installed on a pawn is counted- from a peg leg, organ replacements, Royalty'sContent added by the Royalty DLC glandular enhancements (healing enhancer, immunoenhancer), archotech body parts, a MechlinkContent added by the Biotech DLC, and AnomalyContent added by the Anomaly DLC's flesh limbs and Revenant vertebrae. The only enhancements not considered by either trait is any levels of PsylinkContent added by the Royalty DLC and upgrades used by a Mechanitor beyond the mechlink. No clothing or equipment item is counted, specifically Eltex gear or any psychically active Persona weaponContent added by the Ideology DLC. An implanted xenogermContent added by the Biotech DLC will be counted as one single enhancement no matter how complex the xenogerm is.

Installation and Removal[edit]

There are two types of artificial parts: implants and prosthetics. Implants are attached to the natural flesh body part, while prosthetics are replacements that require the original to be removed.

Installing artificial body parts requires medical skill, with a minimum of 3 for wooden parts up to a minimum of 5 for implants. Parts can be installed regardless of if they have been researched, as the research is only required to manufacture the parts.

Most prosthetics and implants can be uninstalled freely to retrieve the item back, with the exception of joywires, mindscrews and death acidifiers. Artificial parts cannot be uninstalled from corpses, with the exception of the mechlinkContent added by the Biotech DLC which can ONLY be removed from corpses.

Part Compatibility[edit]

Most implants are compatible with all other implants with the exception of skin glands. However, prosthetic parts cannot have other prosthetic parts or implants installed on them; a bionic arm cannot have a field hand prosthetic or elbow blade implant attached.

All brain implants are compatible and can be installed at once, even if their effects cancel each other out.
