Example: A colonist was shot in the ear, and the ear is destroyed. This can be seen in the health menu of a colonist. If the body parts hitpoints run out, then the body part is destroyed. In the grand scheme of things, it's not a disaster - so long as you avoid turning them into Robocop. Body parts are parts of a body that are by default on a colonist or have been added on by an operation. The rest of the time, they're on janitor duty.

If they're not especially good at anything important, I'd give them a pegleg and make them a front-line fighter / meatshield. If they're good at a very useful task, I'd give them the bionic leg but avoid them being in the front lines. Though the rest of the parts are in between. The heart, too, for 50 bleed and 200 heal rate. If they're good at work which doesn't require much movement, such as Research, I'd just keep them on that job and let them have the 50% movement speed. The stomach for example, x1 hunger rate is an excellent boost. You can offset this with the +12 from Lavish Meals.

But if you keep replacing parts, they're gonna be pretty pissed that you're not respecting their 'My body is a temple' kind of mindset as you're desecrating it with foreign objects. So if they're getting -10 from having an artificial leg, that's still no worse than a Depressive with -12. The mood debuff on Body Purist stacks, as I understand it, for each non-organic body part they have.

Originally posted by _SoMe:Since my Body Purist Pawn needs some buff in movement and pain reduction, i was wondering if Prosthetic Leg is fine? It reads that they disagree with bionic parts (no comment on prosthetics) but i wanna be sure before cutting off his leg ^^ If they have an infection they don't have time to recover from, better to lose the leg.
