A bionic stomach is an organ replacement that has 125% efficiency, increases metabolism by 25%.

Acquisition

Bionic stomachs can be crafted at the fabrication bench once Bionic Replacements is researched. They require Plasteel 10 plasteel and Advanced component 3 advanced components and a crafting skill of 8.

Alternatively, they can purchased from traders.

Summary

A bionic stomach improves a pawn's metabolism by 25%. This, in turn, slightly improves the rest rate multiplier by about 8%, meaning the colonist will require less sleep.

Unlike the Royalty DLC stomach replacements, EMPing a pawn with a bionic stomach will not force them to vomit.

Installing a stomach can be used to instantly treat gut worms as the new stomach replaces the diseased part. With it installed, further infections are also prevented.

Eating capacity, eating speed, and food poisoning chances are unaffected.

Installation

Installing a bionic stomach requires 2,500 ticks (41.67 secs) of work, 2x medicine of ??[What Quality] quality or better, and a Medical skill of 5.

Removing a bionic stomach requires 2,500 ticks (41.67 secs) of work, 1x medicine of ??[What Quality] quality or better, and a Medical skill of ?.

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

Analysis

The bionic stomach is a cheaper way to reduce time sleeping than upgrading to a royal bed, however both can be combined.

Of all the bionic parts in the game, excluding the bionic spine (which is situational), it is perhaps the least generally useful, only improving rest rate multiplier. However, it is still worth installing if there is one available, as this bonus is still significant.

Comparisons

The Royalty DLC introduced a number of Stomach replacements with their own advantages and disadvantages. All three of these variants include the benefits offered by the bionic stomach in addition to their unique benefits however they are also susceptible to EMP, causing the pawn to vomit uncontrollably for a short length of time.

Detoxifier Stomach

In addition to the normal benefits of a bionic stomach, the detoxifier stomach eliminates the risk of food poisoning at the cost of vulnerability to EMP.

Reprocessor Stomach

In addition to the normal benefits of a bionic stomach, the reprocessor stomach reduces the amount of food a pawn requires by 25% at the cost of vulnerability to EMP.

Nuclear Stomach

In addition to the normal benefits of a bionic stomach, the nuclear stomach combines the benefits of both the detoxifier and reprocessor stomachs, reduces the amount of food a pawn requires by a whopping 75% and eliminating the risk of food poisoning at the cost of vulnerability to EMP and inflicting torso cancer on average once 120 in-game days.
