{{Info|Peg legs are a prosthetic replacement for a pawn's leg. It is the worst kind of leg available, but is better than having a missing foot or leg.}}
== Acquisition ==
A peg leg requires no previous work to turn into a prosthesis before installation. Instead, when ordering a [[Health#Operations|surgical operation]] on a pawn, a [[wood|wooden log]] is consumed and the peg leg is added to the pawn. Notably, when removed the peg leg turns back into a wooden log.

===Installation===
{{stub|section=1}}
Installing the part requires {{ticks|1500}} of work, 2x medicine of [[Herbal medicine|herbal]] quality or better, and a [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] of 3.

Removing the part requires ? of work, 2x medicine of herbal quality or better, and a [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] of ?.

If the operation fails, the part has a chance{{Check Tag|What Chance?}} to be destroyed.

== Analysis == 
Each peg leg has a 60% part efficiency, averaged between two legs. As a pawns [[Moving]] stat relies on both legs, this translates to an averaged 20% reduction in [[Move Speed]] to an otherwise healthy pawn, per peg leg added. This is significantly better than having a disabled or missing foot or leg however, which removes an averaged 50% mobility per leg affected (0 mobility for the loss of both legs). 

A peg leg is a significant impediment to a pawn as most activities will involve walking. Additionally it also affects [[Melee Dodge Chance]]. With an 1800% importance placed on movement, the loss of 20% results in loss of dodge chance equivalent to 3.6 levels of melee skill. Due to how the stat is fit to a post-process curve, this can result in the melee dodge chance dropping to 0 for pawns with skill under 9. 

The bottom line is that while a peg leg is significantly better than having a missing leg, its replacement with a modern prosthesis should be strongly considered, depending how much that colonist relies on "movement" to do their job(s).  
: (In cases where only the foot is missing, a [[wooden foot]] will also restore some mobility with only half the movement penalty and the exact same material and research requirements, so upgrading is less of an improvement.)

So, remembering that 1 peg leg leaves the colonist at 80% movement, the options are:
 In cases where only the foot is missing, a [[Wooden foot]] will also restore mobility with half the movement penalty and the exact same material and research requirements.

Each peg leg results in -10% character quality and thus a 10% reduction in the affected individual's pawn value.

Peg legs will give a mood penalty to colonists with the Body Purist trait because it is a foreign object attached to their body. Transhumanists will gain a bonus.
