{{Info|A '''bionic arm''' is an [[artificial body part]] that acts as a replacement for a pawn's natural arm, increasing [[Manipulation]] by 12.5% per arm while also offering a slightly more powerful punch attack and acting as a [[body part weapon]].}}

== Acquisition ==
Bionic arms 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}}.

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 ==
=== Body part ===
Bionic arms replace the user's organic arm up to, and including, the shoulder. They are universal and can be installed on either the left or right. The bionic arm has a part efficiency of 125%. This not only fully replaces the functionality of a normal arm - when coupled with the arm body part having a [[Manipulation]] importance of 50%, it results in an increase in manipulation of 12.5% over natural for each bionic arm installed. Manipulation, in turn, affects a great many [[stats]]. For a full list of affected stats, see [[Manipulation#Affected stats|Manipulation]].

=== Combat ===
A bionic arm replaces the natural "Fist" attack of the replaced arm with an almost 50% more powerful, but otherwise equivalent, punch.

</li></div>

=== 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 will be destroyed.

== Analysis ==
First, any reasonably important pawn with a destroyed or [[prosthetic arm]] should get a bionic replacement. Then, the increase to manipulation is best used for the [[Doctoring]], [[Crafting]], or [[Skills|Construction]]; doctors tend faster and with higher quality, while crafters and constructors make objects faster (quality is unaffected). Manipulation is one of the few ways to increase [[general labor speed]], so it is great for skill-less crafting tasks like [[stonecutter's table|stonecutting]] and [[electric smelter|smelting]].

Manipulation will also increase the [[Skills|Artistic]], [[Skills|Mining]], [[Skills|Plants]], and [[Skills|Research]] (up to 110% Manipulation) skills, but these skills are generally less important to do ''fast'' in a mid- to late- game colony that can make bionic arms. The [[drill arm]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} and [[field hand]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} provide a much greater boost to Mining or Plants, though lower [[Moving]] in the process. For combat, bionic arms will increase [[Melee Hit Chance]], but they only increase [[Shooting Accuracy]] if Manipulation is below 100%. While manipulation often goes below 100% due to the effects of [[pain]] and [[injury]], [[bionic eye]]s are superior if combat, ranged or melee, is your main priority.

Unlike organic parts, bionic arms don't contain subparts - all damage is taken by the main, 30 HP arm, instead of spread throughout the bones, fingers, and shoulder. While a bionic arm won't lose stray fingers to a gun shot, this makes it easier for it to be completely destroyed.  Note that the bionic arm is fully attached to the shoulder; a [[flak vest]] completely protects a bionic arm, but does not cover an organic arm at all. In addition, the artificial part never feels [[pain]], never bleeds, and will never lose fingers in the first place.

{{Manipulation Part Efficiency Table}}

As with all bionics, it will give a mood bonus to anyone with the [[Body modder]] trait and a heavy penalty to anyone with the Body purist trait. Similar effects are also applied to pawns following an {{IdeologyIcon}} [[ideoligion]] with a [[Ideoligion#Body_modification|Body Modification]] [[Ideoligion#Precepts|precept]].

== Version history ==
* [[Version/0.19.2009|0.19.2009]] - received a nerf to efficiency (from 140%) but is now craftable.
