Now I know that we have EPOE and all that goodness, but sometimes you just want something a little simpler.
Is there an easy way I could add recipedefs for Bionic and Prosthetic parts to the Machining Table using XML?

I'm not even requesting anything as complicated as a new workbench or new parts -- EPOE goes way overboard in both categories, in my opinion.
Gating with research or medical+crafting skill requirements would be nice, but even that isn't essential. I just want to be able to craft my own bionics instead of waiting 2 years for a trader to have the part I need.

Adogsaid already does something like this for Animal Bionics, simply adding the recipes to the Machining Table; I figure it couldn't be much of a jump to add pre-existing recipes for the scant few Human Bionics, but I could be wrong.

Anyone have any suggestions, or can you push me in the right direction? Or even just a list of the internal references to the bionic human parts, so I know what to name them? I'm a rank amateur at Rimworld modding, but I've kludged together a few private custom XML tuning mods by hijacking and tweaking other mods' code, so I have a vague idea of what I'm getting into. Thank you!

Brilliant, Bluewinds! I've been looking for some time, I don't know how this one slipped past me. Should do nicely! Thanks!
