As someone who NEVER read the description of things well, i've read everything xD.

But guys, wait a minute. What is an archotec? A state? A kingdome? Or ancient people that were named Archotech? We talk about archotech here, archotech there, but it's an ancient technology or great people considered like titans, woshipped by the normal people?

What I have in mind is: why there aren't more information about this, it's an ancient secret?

I think this game need an archotech faction, super powerful and god-like persons. This idea maybe isn't crazy. You want the archotech technology? You have to defeat the last Archotech that are defending the ruins!

As far as i know, Archotechs are part of the Rimworld lore. They're Super AIs that spread to planets to complete a process called "Transcendence" where they take over the planet and turn it into a massive computer. They either integrate or destroy all the lifeforms on it, or something inbetween the two (Matrix flashbacks ?). But, some of these worlds fail: "Most transcendent worlds stay in the same state indefinitely - in this they are far more stable than their pre-transcendent neighbors. There are, however, reports of transcendent worlds that have "died" and left systems full of unintelligible wonders, or become mirages of normal planets, or simply reverted back to balls of dust, deconstructing themselves on a molecular level, with the last tiny machine shutting itself off." -taken from reddit. So i assume that the vanilla bodyparts are simply remnants of such a failed transcendent world. But the reddit post itself theorizes that the player himself is an archotech, and makes some compelling arguments for it. You should read it.

Created an account just for this, kek.
Right now you have some descriptions for the archotech bodyparts, but they're kind of basic and grammatically wrong in some places. I was thinking about an archotech mod before this came out so I'd like to suggest some descriptions for the parts.

Advanced Archotech Arm: An artificial arm, built, and then improved upon, by an archotech. Currently the only known instances of Archotech AIs deploying creatures with advanced Archotech technology are on glitterworlds currently at war with said Archotechs. This advanced version of an Archotech arm further enhances every aspect of the original design. Its precision is now able to copy the contents of a book onto a tenth of a human hair (or more commonly, to operate a high powered sniper rifle across thousands of kilometers) and strong enough to crush a superdense plasteel brick in its hands (or, again, more commonly to crush plasteel helmets of glitterworld soldiers). Though damage to one is rare even under the circumstances of its usage, its regenerative abilities are unmatched, able to repair itself in seconds even if it's separated into two clean parts.
The speed at which it operates leads individuals observing an Advanced Archotech arm in regular use describe "only being able to see its afterimage." Its internal workings will remain a mystery to all human minds.

Advanced Archotech Leg: An artificial leg, built, and then improved upon, by an Archotech. Currently the only known instances of Archotech AIs deploying creatures with advanced Archotech technology are on glitterworlds currently at war with said Archotechs. This advanced version of an Archotech leg further enhances every aspect of the original design. The original design could move as fast as a car, this design can move as fast as a plane. Some aircraft have difficulties keeping up. Its user can jump over skyscrapers and flatten them with a kick (though more commonly used to kick Glitterworld mechs into pieces). It nullifies any damage sustained by falling and can easily lift a herd of blue whales (though, again, more commonly used to smash spaceships out of orbit). At full speed, the user would become a blur, barely visible to the human eye, though it would damage any regular biological parts. Its internal workings will remain a mystery to all human minds.

Archotech Ears: An artificial ear built by an Archotech. Replacing the entire ear from the Cochlear nerve to the outer ear, it looks and feels like a regular ear. It is able to hear every conceivable wavelength of sound at any frequency across intercontinental distances, in ideal wind conditions. The user can filter exactly what it should hear or even mute it. Its internal workings are a mystery to all human minds.

Archotech Denture: An artificial denture built by an Archotech. Advanced pico-mechanites assimilate the surrounding tissue, down to the voice box, turning it into a biomaterial of unknown composition. Though it "tingles" during this process, once it is complete the user won't be able to tell the difference, despite it being more resilient than plasteel. Once installed, the denture can crush steel between its teeth, the tongues taste buds can recognize tastes down to the molecule and even spray a highly corrosive acid from the base of the tongue outwards. Teeth, along with all tissue affected by the denture, are automatically regenerated should they be damaged. Other than that, the user can also change the colour, texture and form of his teeth, along with the pitch and volume of his voice at will. It is able to speak faster than the average computer can count,
and able to perfectly mimic all known accents and dialects of all known languages. Some people even get addicted to listening to an Archotech Denture. Its internal workings, as well as the composition of the biomaterial, are a mystery to all human minds.

Archotech Heart: An artificial heart built by an Archotech. Though it is called a heart, it is closer related to an industrial pump. Advanced pico-mechanites assimilate all blood vessels in the body into an unknown biomaterial, able to withstand the pressures this heart operates at. The capacity of this device to pump liquid is simply wasted on the mere 5 liters of blood a normal human possesses, as it would easily be able to pump lakes dry. Originally, the power source was unknown, though with the recent discovery of Archotech vanometrics, it is now widely believed that it has miniature vanometric cells. The Archotech heart will regenerate any damages done to it over time, though if a foreign object (like a bullet, for instance) happens to get stuck in one of the chambers, the heart can be temporarily accessed with maintenance ports located on each chamber, though a surgery is still required to reach the heart. This level of Blood pumping allows all organs of the body to work at unparalleled efficiency, healing even grave to life-threatening injuries before they cause any permanent damage. Its internal workings, as well as the composition of the biomaterial, are a mystery to all human minds.

Archotech Lung: An artificial lung built by an Archotech. This lung is able to exchange blood in its artificial capillaries far more efficient than any biological or even bionic lung ever could. The Archotech deploys pico-mechanites to assimilate everything from (but not including) the voice box downwards to the lung itself, allowing it to filter oxygen from air or water before it even makes it into the lungs, allowing it to not only reach maximum efficiency, but also to act as a gill. In addition to that, it is able to compress and hold this oxygen to a maximum recorded pressure of 21,005 psi. In case the windpipe is ever blocked, the lung can also open ports to the Esophagus in an emergency. Needless to say, its user will never lose in a breath holding contest. Its internal workings are a mystery to all human minds.

Archotech Stomach: An artificial stomach built by an Archotech. This device is able to digest anything thrown at it. Dust, Ash, Metal, Rock, dry ice, poison or even ammunition. So far there's no information as to what is happening inside it, as any measuring instruments inserted are digested immediately. Most of the nutrients and vitamins extracted from non-food material wouldn't normally be able to be absorbed by the digestive tract, though it is assumed the stomach assimilates the digestive tract using previously discovered methods such as archotech pico-mechanites, as the nutrients and vitamins that could be extracted from these foods still end up in the bloodstream. The Esophagus also seems to be altered by it, as it is able to withstand these materials, unlike the mouth that remains unaffected. The sheer efficiency of this stomach will allow its user to go on for a very long time without any food, not that there isn't anything that couldn't be classed as food for the user. Its internal workings are a mystery to all human minds.

Archotech Liver: An artificial liver built by an Archotech. Once installed, it uses pico-mechanites to assimilate all blood in the user's system, as well as continuing their production after the initial install period for any blood produced after it is installed. The enhanced blood carries red blood cells able to hold 5x the normal amount of oxygen. The immune system turns into a disease hunting machine, able to build immunity to any kind of disease in no time. The Liver itself is able to sustain all ca. 500 functions of a regular liver far better than any other filtering system, biological or mechanical, ever could. An internal subpersona AI is able to remotely control and guide nearly all cells in the bloodstream like a swarm, able to deploy immune cells anywhere or move any offending materials to the liver or wherever they need to be. The most extreme case recorded was a direct injection of 1 milligram of Botulinum Toxin type-H through the eye socket into the brain. Although being the most deadly substance known to humans, injected directly into the place where it is most effective, it did not even exit the needle before the immune system carried the milligram into the liver where it was presumably deconstructed into its parts.
So far, a carrier of an Archotech liver has yet to die of any disease or toxin. Its internal workings are a mystery to all human minds.

Archotech Kidney: An artificial kidney built by an Archotech. Like the Archotech liver, it is able to filter the bloodstream and cleanse it of any toxins, though without altering the blood itself and having the ability to put what happens with filtered material afterwards to better use. It deploys pico-mechanites to assimilate the bladder and any canals leading to or from it into an unknown biomaterial. Any toxins captured by the Kidney can be used in an unidentified process to generate chemfuel. This process has been described by users of Archotech Kidneys as "highly convenient", though the activation of this process requires a considerable amount of toxic material to be present. It otherwise functions as a normal kidney would, with the added ability of breaking down any regular or chemfuel kidney stones that may form. Still, it wildly outperforms bionic kidneys, let alone regular ones. Its internal workings are a mystery to all human minds. (NOTE: special ability to produce chemfuel during toxic fallouts ? I'm no programmer so i don't know if this could be a thing. Would be sick though.)

Archotech Death Claw: An artificial weaponized arm built by an Archotech. Functionally identical to a regular Archotech arm, with the exception of  a hand shape more fit for crushing, and a crushing force of 192,000 psi. To put it into perspective, that is enough force to crush ~112 Femurs, the strongest bone in the human body, in the palm of your hand. Its internal workings are a mystery to all human minds.

Archotech Obliterator: (Statswise worse to the death claw *and* the regular archotech Arm. I don't see the point of this thing.)

Archotech Brain Melder: A brain implant in the form of a dose of Archotech pico-mechanites. Once administered, the mechanites begin the assimilation process, where they replace the neurons. Once all neurons have been successfully copied, the mechanites begin taking over the functions of the brain. Some time later begins the maximization process. While retaining the map of interactions between each other, they rearrange themselves into a structure reminiscent of a computer -- tightly packed in a grid. Usually this frees up ~66% of the total space in the brain, where the mechanites then deconstruct the original neuron network in order to build more mechanites. At some point during this expansion, the pico-mechanites also begin assimilating the entire nervous system, as well as coating both the brain and the nervous system with a chrome-like substance immune to outside electricity. Cuts to parts of the nervous system, including the brain, coated in this material are repaired over time. They repel all known ways to analyze the biomaterial, including x-rays and ultrasound, in addition to being magnetic. It is unknown what happens in the brain after it is coated, but the IQ of the individual the Brain Melder is used on rises to the 4-digit area, being more effective the larger the brain. Users of the the Brain Melder become able to complete complex mathematical operations in their head, have perfect recall memory, and some even report being able to let the two brain halves work independently of eachother. They always become masters in whatever they do, be it musical instruments, cooking or surgery. In addition, the user can turn off all sensation of pain at will and even focus healing efforts to areas that would otherwise never heal, like old gunshot wounds or scars. The mechanites along with the biomaterial likely melt together with the original flesh, though there is a way to remove them. The Melder has an emergency frequency that when transmitted to the center of the brain using a long needle, will cause the mechanites to work in reverse of the original process. This is reported to be horrifyingly painful. It is widely believed that the Brain Melder caused the downfall of Archotech AIs, as the soldiers implanted with them quickly realized their own abilities and deserted. The inner workings of this device will likely never be fully understood.

EDIT:
Since you've made advanced versions of the vanilla archotech legs and arms, how about advanced Archotech Eyes ?

Advanced Archotech Eyes: An artificial eye, built, and then improved upon, by an Archotech. Currently the only known instances of Archotech AIs deploying creatures with advanced Archotech technology are on glitterworlds currently at war with said Archotechs. This advanced version of an Archotech eye further enhances every aspect of the original design. It is now able to activate an enigmatic electron-microscope-like vision (dubbed ELDAR by users, ELectron Detection and Ranging) being able to resolve smaller and smaller images with increasingly higher resolution as the eye approaches the object. In addition, the user can also switch to a mirror-telescope mode, powerful enough to see other planets clearly, while still being able to perceive and/or emit anything on the electromagnetic spectrum. The internal subpersona AI can now not only highlight useful information and objects, but also features a Heads-up-Display, showing damaged areas of the body, the current filter settings and even what path a bullet or grenade will travel given the current wind, gravity and bullet type or map the area for a real-time real-life minimap. The most powerful feature is the visual combat assistant, that allows the user to predict what their opponents movements will be in a melee battle. This feature is said to be so effective that it can borderline be classed as a precog sensor. Externally, the eye has not changed, except for the ability to control it independently from the other eye. Its internal workings will remain a mystery to all human minds.

TL;DR:
-read

I'd love to see these descriptions ingame, feel free to make any changes you want or even not use them at all, but that would make me sad.
P.S. I tested all of the descriptions, all of them fit, even the last one, that fits *exactly*. <3
