The '''Archotech eye''' is an eye replacement which provides 150% [[sight]] efficiency. A superior version of the [[bionic eye]]. 

== Acquisition ==
Archotech eyes cannot be crafted. They can only be obtained through [[trade]], as a reward from [[quests]], from raiding [[Ancient shrine|ancient shrines]],  from [[Security crate|security]] and [[hermetic crate]]s{{IdeologyIcon}}, or at an extremely rare rate from random drop pod crashing.

== Summary ==
Archotech eyes replace natural eyes. Archotech eyes have a 150% efficiency, which results in a {{+|50%}} improvement to [[Sight]] if two are installed.

However, the game places 75% weighting on the more capable eye for the purposes of sight. Installing the first archotech eye on a healthy pawn would increase sight by {{+|38%}}, while the second would provide a {{+|12%}} increase.

=== 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 even in a minor way the archotech eye will be destroyed.

== Analysis ==
Installing a single archotech eye increases sight by 38%, and a second increases it by 12% to the expected 150%, since the game gives a greater weighting on the more capable part when calculating sight, with the best eye contributing 75% of a pawn's sight capability.

The Archotech eye can be very useful for combat as it greatly increases both melee and ranged accuracy.  Cooking speed is also substantially improved.  Vision above 100% also grants a bonus to melee dodge, medical tend quality, medical tend speed, and research speed.  While most other skills are impacted by sight, they have 100% sight caps and will only see an effect if the colonist has their vision impaired for some reason.

A single archotech eye is enough to cap research and medical tend speed, and brings medical tend quality and melee dodge to very near their cap (138 / 140).  Adding a second, [[bionic eye]] will hit these caps as well.
