Bionics & Prosthetics

Learn how to research, craft, and install advanced bionics and prosthetics in RimWorld. Enhance your colonists' capabilities and overcome physical limitations with this comprehensive guide.

Bionics and prosthetics in RimWorld offer a way to replace lost limbs or even enhance existing colonists beyond their natural capabilities. This guide covers how to acquire and utilize these advanced medical technologies.

• Researching Bionics: You'll need to unlock the Bionics research project. This typically requires a high research speed and often involves discovering ancient dangers or trading for relevant tech.
• Crafting and Acquisition: Bionic and prosthetic parts can be crafted at a Fabrication bench once the necessary research is complete. Alternatively, they can be purchased from traders or found as loot from certain events or quests.
• Installation: Installing bionic and prosthetic limbs requires a colonist with the Medicine skill and a functioning hospital or medical bed. The success rate depends on the doctor's skill and the quality of the medical facilities.
• Types of Prosthetics: Basic prosthetics replace lost limbs with functional, though not necessarily superior, replacements. Bionic limbs offer significant stat boosts, improving manipulation, movement speed, and other attributes. Advanced bionics can even grant unique abilities.
• Considerations: Bionic limbs are expensive to craft and require advanced components. They also increase the complexity of your colony's medical needs. Ensure you have the resources and skilled personnel to manage them effectively.
