Is there a way to tell if bionics have higher/the same hitpoints as regular limbs? The wiki doesn't say.
Bionics have the same amount of HP as ordinary body parts. The main differences are efficiency and that if the bionics get damaged, the colonist won't feel pain from those particular parts.
Also if your colonist lost his or her fingers and you gave a brand new spanking Bionic Arm as a gift...
The Damage done to the fingers will jump to the Bionic Arm Instead if a pirate or a berserk colonist or a manhunting squirrel that likes ripping apart fingers will be disappointed on fighting someone that has a Bionic Limb that doesn't have fingers or toes in it. ;)
It's a improvement on a broken arm or on a missing hand...
Don't these points combine to make cyborgs very prone to death in a way similar to go juice? Not only are all of their fingers and toes gone, removing 10 very critical bullet sponges, they won't feel damage in their bionic eyes, ears, arms, legs, spine, etc, so they'll just keep going til they lose something important...
Well, at least they won't bleed to death like all the others.
If that is true, than bionic limbs technically reduce the overall HP of the pawn.
Assuming each finger has 7 HP, the hand has 10 HP and the arm has 25 HP, suddenly the whole kit has 25 HP. This means a charge lance that would instead sever a finger now severs an entire arm.
This is another instance of how broken the limb system replacement is, and how Tynan needs to implement a full kit to transplants, so your bionic arm comes also with a bionic hand, and bionic fingers, but you NEED to install the whole arm to get the whole deal.
I also heavily dislike that bionic appendages need to be "treated", not "repaired". Also another very interesting thing: a pawn's peg leg will slowly heal to normal like it is organic if it is damaged.
dont you remember that one piece of wood you used to replace that leg with? if you damage it, it will grow back and over the years if you keep it safe a new poplar tree will grow from it
just pray you didnt use saguaro wood for it. poor fella, one morning he'll awake with needles all over his junk
