Editing Body Parts

==Body Part Groups==

Each individual body part (such as clavicle) is a sub-unit of a Body Part Group (such as Torso). [[Armor]] and [[Clothing]] cover and protect all the body parts in that specific group.

==Body Parts (Detailed)==

This section includes the full names and descriptions of each body part in the above tables, including special notes or other extra information.

===Head===

*Health: 25

Container of the skull, eyes, ears, nose, and jaw. Technically, you don't need the head itself to live, but it is necessary to contain the brain.

While humans can survive headshots, damage to the brain is still a serious issue. A single gunshot typically destroys the brain due to its low health, but a slightly lower power weapon like the [[machine pistol]] can hit the brain and not kill the colonist. However, brain tissue ''always'' [[Health#Scarring|scars]] and sufficient damage may render a colonist unconscious forever.

====Skull====

*Health: 25

Contains the brain. It's worth noting that an injury cannot hit the brain without hitting the skull as well. The skull cannot be destroyed by damage but will cause pain until healed.

=====Brain=====

====Eyes====

Eyes are required for [[#Sight|seeing]]. Eyes have a high chance to be permanently injured (scar) when damaged. Lost or damaged eyes can be surgically replaced with a [[Bionic eye|bionic]] or [[Archotech eye|archotech]] equivalent, though these are expensive and uncraftable respectively. A destroyed or lost eye causes a pawn to be considered [[disfigured]].

====Ears====

*Health: 12

Ears are required for [[#Hearing|hearing]] things in the world. Losing both ears results in total deafness. Hearing helps in trade price improvement. Damaged or lost ears can be replaced with a [[bionic ear]]. A destroyed or lost ear causes a pawn to be considered [[disfigured]].

Loud noises like gunshots do not inflict pain or damage on the ears.

====Nose====

Though required for smelling, there is no smelling system in place for RimWorld. A damaged or destroyed nose is the least of your worries in terms of injury, but will cause the colonist to become [[disfigured]], which will cause -15 opinion from all other colonists. It can be replaced with an [[aesthetic nose]] with the [[Royalty]] DLC or restored with a [[Healer mech serum]].

====Tongue====

*Health: 10

Required for [[Talking|talking]] and important for [[Eating|eating]]. Colonists can still eat without a tongue, but at very slow pace. Lost or damaged tongues can be surgically replaced with a [[bionic tongue]]. A destroyed or lost tongue causes a pawn to be considered [[disfigured]].

====Jaw====

 

===Torso===

The torso is the core part of a colonist. It is the container for the rest of the major organs of a colonist, and destroying it effectively destroys/disconnects the rest of the colonist's organs. A majority of human characters will die from torso injury/destruction long before they die of anything else.

====Neck====

*Health: 25

Technically part of the torso. It connects the head to the torso. Neck damage makes colonists bleed out very fast. Loss of the neck results in death due to disconnecting the [[#Brain|brain]] from the core part, the [[#Torso|torso]].

====Clavicle====

The clavicles are the bones between the [[#Neck|neck]] and shoulder, and are required for the colonist's arms to function. Clavicles are considered a part of the arm, and will be removed (along with the rest of the natural arm) if a prosthesis is installed. Clavicles cannot be destroyed by damage but will cause pain until healed.

====Spine====

*Health: 25

Colonists need their spine for [[#Moving|moving]] and working. Shattering the spine results in complete paralysis, presumably below the neck. It can be replaced with a [[bionic spine]] or repaired with [[healer mech serum]] or [[luciferium]].

====Pelvis====

The pelvis is critical for [[#Moving|moving]], and damage will result in the pawn becoming incapable of walking. The pelvis cannot be destroyed by damage, but will cause pain until healed.

====Sternum====

Front part of the [[#Rib|rib cage]]. The sternum cannot be destroyed by damage, but will cause pain until healed.

====Ribcage====

*Health: 30

 

====Lung====

*Health: 15

Colonists have two lungs: a right lung and left lung. Currently, colonists can [[#Breathing|breathe]] and survive fine with just one lung. Losing both lungs is instantaneous death, as the colonist will immediately suffocate. Lungs tend to bleed out very fast when damaged, but are generally survivable injuries. Lungs can be harvested and transplanted, so a damaged or lost lung can be replaced. Pirate traders occasionally have organs for sale.

====Stomach====

Injuries to the heart can heal, but due to low health value, getting shot in the heart can also be instantaneously fatal. Hearts can be harvested and transplanted - albeit at the cost of the donor's life - so a damaged heart can be replaced. Slave traders occasionally have these organs for sale.

====Kidney====

*Health: 15

Kidneys are required for [[#Blood Filtration|blood filtration]]. Like lungs, losing one isn't life-threatening, but losing both results in death. A loss of blood filtration efficiency also results in ''drastically'' reduced [[disease]] resistance, so kidney damage can lead to colonists that survive a firefight later dying of malaria or the flu. Kidneys can be harvested and transplanted, so a damaged or lost kidney can be replaced. Slave traders occasionally have these organs for sale.

===Arm===

Arms are required for working, and are containers for the [[#Hand|hands]] and subsequent bones. One-armed colonists can still work, though much slower. A lost or damaged arm can be replaced either with a simple [[Prosthetic arm|prosthesis]] or a more expensive bionic arm. Simple versions are only 50% as effective whereas bionic versions are 20% ''more'' efficient than a natural limb. Any arm prosthesis will completely replace the arm, including hands, fingers, and constituent bones.

====Humerus====

Upper bones of the arm. While these are usually minor injuries (as bone injuries never scar), shattering one's humerus renders the entire arm completely unusable. Like the rest of the arm's constituent parts, it is fully replaced by a prosthesis.

====Radius====

====Hand====

Hands are the containers for fingers, and are required for working. One handed colonists can still work fine, just slower. A lost or damaged hand can be replaced with a [[Wooden hand]], for a partial recovery of effectiveness, a [[power claw]] for full effectiveness and a melee weapon in exchange for -8% movement speed, or [[Field hand]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}, for full effectiveness and  improved [[Plant Work Speed]] in exchange for -8% movement speed. Alternatively, the whole arm can be replaced, hand included.

=====Fingers=====

*Health: 8

Losing a finger will cause the colonist to lose 8% manipulation.

===Leg===

Every colonist has two legs. A lost or damaged leg can be replaced either with a simple prosthesis or a more expensive bionic leg. Simple versions are only 85% as effective whereas bionic versions are 25% ''more'' efficient than a natural limb. If a prosthesis can't be located, peg legs are also available, but they are only barely functional. Any prosthetic leg will completely replace the entire leg, including the feet and toes.  

====Tibia====

Lower leg bone (aka shinbone), required for [[moving]]. When shattered, results in a complete loss of function of the leg containing the bone.

====Femur====

Upper leg bone between hip and knee, the same in terms of injury as the [[#Tibia|tibia]], with a loss of [[moving]] capacity on being shattered.

====Foot====

*Health: 25

Humans have two feet, needed for [[moving]]. Injuries to the foot slow movement, and loss of both feet prevent it entirely. They are also the container for the toes.

=====Toes=====

*Health: 8

Injuries to the toes are among the most minor a colonist can sustain. They hurt a colonist's [[moving]] capacity by a small amount.

Losing a toe will cause a colonist to lose 4% of its moving capacity.
