A bionic spine is an artificial body part that acts a total spine replacement. It provides 100% efficiency, the same as an organic spine.

Acquisition

Bionic spines can be crafted at a Fabrication bench once the Bionic replacements research project has been completed. They require Plasteel 15 Plasteel, Advanced component 4 Advanced components, 26,000 ticks (7.22 mins) of work, and a Crafting skill of 8.

They can also be found in ancient shrines, offered as a quest reward, or bought from exotic traders, Empire traders, and at Outlander faction bases.

Summary

The bionic spine replaces a shattered or otherwise damaged spine, and both prevents and cures the bad back condition. It otherwise provides no other statistical, curative, or preventative benefit.

Installation

Installing the part requires 2,500 ticks (41.67 secs) of work, 2x medicine of ?? quality or better, and a Medical skill of 5.

Removing the part requires ? of work, ?x medicine of ?? quality or better, and a Medical skill of ?.

If the operation fails, the part has a chance[What Chance?] to be destroyed.

Analysis

As it does not provide additional efficiency, it's best as a replacement for a bad spine. Bionic spines can cure colonists with scarred or shattered spines, as well as the bad back condition from old age. Bad backs and scars are only otherwise curable with luciferium, a healer mech serum, biosculpter podContent added by the Ideology DLC bioregeneration cycle, or the scarless gene,Content added by the Biotech DLC which is naturally found on Sanguophages.Content added by the Biotech DLC A shattered spine can only otherwise be cured by a healer mech serum.

The bionic spine can also be useful to give to body modders for a mood buff without affecting any stats.
