| − | The tongue | + | The tongue cannot be damaged in unmodded RimWorld, except for the explicit [[surgery]] option to remove it. As a bionic tongue has the same stats as a regular tongue, installing one on a healthy pawn serves no physical purpose. If [[Ideology DLC]] is installed, the [[biosculpter pod]] {{IdeologyIcon}} can be used to restore the tongue at the cost of {{icon small|glitterworld medicine}} 2 instead. Otherwise, only the rare [[healer mech serum]]s can fix it. |
| − | Replacing a missing tongue may not be necessary at all, however. While very important on any pawn that uses their [[talking]] stat (wardening, trading, taming), other pawns face a tradeoff. It removes all negative conversations, which can help with [[trait]]s like Abrasive, but removes relationship penalties.
