Is there a way to tell if bionics have higher/the same hitpoints as regular limbs? The wiki doesn't say.

Naked Brutality, Tribal Start

I started noticing my colonist with 1 torn out eye and 1 1/10 mangled eye (has no sight) will not perform any recreation other than social or solitary (he is currently bored of both), even when set to full recreation in the sleep/work/anything/recreation tab.

I can force him to drink psychite tea or eat chocolate for recreation, but he won't do things like play "game of Ur" or other activities on his own.

Does anyone know whether friendly settlements rotate what items are sold, and if so how often? I went to an outlander settlement a couple of times over the course of maybe 2-3 quadrums and they were selling the same stuff. I'm running a naked brutality/tribal game and I'm pretty far away from being able to research the orbital trade console, so I'm relying on nearby settlements for gear and supplies. Wondering if I'm stuck with their current selection for a long time or not..

Thanks.

Like the title says - do you? I'm trying to see if anyone finds benefit to actually keeping them as friends.

There is one unfriendly tribal that naturally decays to hostile relationship status, and I find it helpful to have them as hostile. They seem to be the easiest to defend against for raids, so its good to have them as one of the 'bucket' of choices that Randy throws out when you get escaping prisoner events or just regular raids.

I guess I can see the benefit if you settled next to them and need some additional trading partners, but since they only offer garbage tribal level gear, its better to have them as enemies rather than getting constantly raided by mechs/pirates.

Tribal Start, I researched plate metal armor.
Instead of Steel, I chose to make it out of Plasteel.
My worker (level 14) hauled the plasteel to the smithy, and proceeded to 'work' there.
The plasteel stayed on the smithy (it did not turn into an 'unfinished plasteel plate armor', but the progress bar still showed beneath.
After some time, the progress bar disappeared, but the worker stayed in place 'working', ignoring sleep/recreation needs.
I used draft/undraft to get him unstuck.
