{{Info|'''Peg legs''' are a [[artificial body part]] that replaces a pawn's leg. It is the worst kind of leg available, but is better than having a missing leg.}}

== Acquisition ==
Unlike most other prostheses, peg legs don't have a separate item form. Instead, when ordering a [[Health#Operations|surgical operation]] on a pawn, {{Required Resources}} is consumed and the peg leg is added to the pawn. Converting a log to a peg leg does not take any work. Notably, when removed the peg leg turns back into a wooden log.

== Summary ==
Peg legs replace the user's [[Table of Human Body Parts|entire organic leg]]. The peg leg has a part efficiency of 60%. This partially replaces the functionality of a normal leg - when coupled with each leg body part having a [[Moving]] importance of 50%, it results in restoring 30% [[moving]] per missing leg replaced, or a loss of 20% when replacing a healthy leg. 

Moving, in turn, affects the following [[stats]]: {{#ask: [[Moving Importance::+]]}}. This results in a directly proportional change to a pawn's [[move speed]], and a change in [[melee dodge chance]] equivalent to losing {{#expr: {{Q|Melee Dodge Chance|Moving Importance}}*0.2}} levels of [[Melee]] skill per leg replaced. Due to how the stat is fit to a post-process curve, this can result in the melee dodge chance dropping to 0% for pawns with skill under 9, when replacing one leg, or under 12 for both legs.

Each peg leg results in -10% character quality and thus a 10% reduction in the affected individual's pawn value.

As an artificial part, peg legs will give a mood buff to anyone with the [[Body modder]] trait, and a mood penalty to anyone with the [[Body purist]] trait.

=== Installation ===
Installing the part requires {{Ticks|1500}} of work, {{Icon Small|wood||1}} [[wood]], 2x medicine of [[Herbal medicine|herbal]] quality or better, and a [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] of 3.

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 wood will be destroyed.

== Analysis == 
The peg leg is certainly better than a missing (or otherwise inoperative) leg, but you should strongly consider replacing it with a modern prosthesis as soon as possible. Movement is important for combat, many types of work, and general efficiency (getting up from bed to work...), making it a very valuable stat except for pawns that don't really move (like researchers).

In cases where only the foot is missing, a [[wooden foot]] only has half the [[Moving]] penalty, which means it restores more movement, and it has the exact same material and research requirements.

=== Prisoners ===
Alternatively, peg legs can be installed on your [[prisoner]]s, making them easier to stop when starting a prison escape or going [[berserk]]. As peg legs actively make the pawn worse, it isn't recommended to install peg legs on those who you would like to recruit, at least until you can make [[bionic leg]] replacements.

Unlike healthy organic legs, peg legs can be removed; removing them will result in no leg, and removing both will permanently incapacitate a pawn. This is great if you want to keep prisoners long term without them attempting to a break out, such as for selling them, harvesting [[hemogen pack]]s,{{BiotechIcon}} or [[gene extractor|extract genes]]{{BiotechIcon}} from. However, if the [[Dead calm]] gene{{BiotechIcon}} can be applied to them instead, it is superior as they won't require a colonist or [[slave]]{{IdeologyIcon}} to feed them and legs won't have to be reinstalled if they are to be sold.
