| − | + | A nuclear stomach reduces the hunger rate of a pawn by 75%, meaning they only require 1/4 the food to live. They also improve a pawn's [[metabolism]] by 12.5%, which improves the [[rest rate multiplier]] by 3.75%, slightly reducing the need for sleep. All artificial stomachs are immune to [[gut worms]], and installing one will instantly cure the degrees. A nuclear stomach also grants full immunity to [[food poisoning]]. [[Eating]] capacity and [[eating speed]] are unaffected. | |

While EMP-wielding enemies are relatively rare, due to the induced vomiting, friendly fire is a relevant concern on melee pawns as using [[EMP grenades]] and melee attackers on [[Centipede]]s is a common and successful tactic. Having a nuclear stomach on those melee pawns will result in them vomiting and negatively affecting this tactic and others like it. However, this can also be exploited against enemies with part, as well as against escaping [[prisoner]]s or rebellious [[slaves]].{{IdeologyIcon}} For the latter two options however, use of an implant that causes [[brain shock]] may be more useful as it downs the pawn, rather than merely causes temporary vomiting. | While EMP-wielding enemies are relatively rare, due to the induced vomiting, friendly fire is a relevant concern on melee pawns as using [[EMP grenades]] and melee attackers on [[Centipede]]s is a common and successful tactic.

The [[Royalty DLC]] introduced a number of stomach replacements to complement the base [[bionic stomach]], each 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. | The [[Royalty DLC]] introduced a number of stomach replacements to complement the base [[bionic stomach]], each with their own advantages and disadvantages.
