Peg legs are a artificial body part that acts as 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 surgical operation on a pawn, a 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.

Summary

Peg legs replace the user's entire organic leg. The peg leg has a part efficiency of 60%. This partially replaces the functionality of a normal leg - when coupled with the leg body part having a Moving importance of 50%, it results in restoring 30% moving per missing leg replaced, or a loss of 20% when replacing a healthy leg. Moving, in turn, affects the following stats: Hunting Stealth, Melee Dodge Chance, Move Speed. This results in a directly proprortional change to a pawn's move speed, and a change in melee dodge chance equivalent to losing 3.6 levels of Melee skill per leg replaced. 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, when replacing one leg, or under 12 for both legs.

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.

Installation

Installing the part requires 1,500 ticks (25 secs) of work, 1 wood, 2x medicine of herbal quality or better, and a Medical skill of 3.

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

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

Analysis

The bottom line is that while a peg leg is significantly better than having a missing, or otherwise inoperative, leg, its replacement with a modern prosthesis should be strongly considered, depending how much that colonist relies on movement to do their jobs. In cases where only the foot is missing, a wooden foot will restore more mobility with only half the Moving penalty and the exact same material and research requirements.

The options are:

Name	Moving (1x)	Moving (2x)	Market Value
Peg leg	80%	60%	1.2
Prosthetic leg	92.5%	92.5	260
Prosthetic leg	100%	100%	-
Bionic leg	112.5%	125%	1,030
Archotech leg	125%	150%	2,800

This partially replaces the functionality of a normal leg - when coupled with the leg body part having a [[Moving]] importance of 50%, it results in restoring 30% [[moving]] per missing leg replaced, or a loss of 20% when replacing a healthy leg.

This results in a directly proprortional change to a pawn's [[move speed]], and a change in [[melee dodge chance]] equivalent to losing {{#expr: {{Q|Melee Dodge Chance|Moving Importance}}*0.2}} levels of [[Melee]] skill per leg replaced. 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, when replacing one leg, or under 12 for both legs.
-Each peg leg has a 60% part efficiency, averaged between two legs, which affects [[Moving]] and the following dependent [[Stats]]: [[Move Speed]], [[Hunting Stealth]], and [[Melee Dodge Chance]]. The only material needed for this medieval-level surgery is 1 piece of wood.

 == Analysis ==
-As a pawns [[Moving]] stat relies on both legs, one 60% leg 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).
+{{stub|section=1}}
+The bottom line is that while a peg leg is significantly better than having a missing, or otherwise inoperative, leg, its replacement with a modern prosthesis should be strongly considered, depending how much that colonist relies on movement to do their jobs. In cases where only the foot is missing, a [[wooden foot]] will restore more mobility with only half the [[Moving]] penalty and the exact same material and research requirements.
-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).
-: ''(Footnote: 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:
-*[[prosthetic leg]] (market value 260/) '''92.5%''' for 1 leg. Prosthetic legs are slower than natural legs, but 80% to 92.5% is a ''relative'' +16% increase in movement speed, so a noticeable improvement.
+The options are:
-* [[bionic leg]]  (market value 1,030/) '''112.5%''' for replacing 1 leg, which is a ''relative'' +40% improvement over 80%!  At this point, it might even be worth replacing both for 125% movement, if your colony, and the patient's mood, can afford it.
