Hello!

My colonists recently got in a gun fight in which one of them had their arm shot off.
I have harvested the appropriate arm from the perpetrator (who i captured) how do i order the arm transplanted?

Thank you in advance!

You need to make sure you have medicine for the operation, a medical bed, the limb, a doctor. Click the character, click his "Health" tab, click "Operations", start a new one. If you have the medicine and everything, an option should be there for attaching the arm. Click it, and the operation will start soon when a doctor gets to it as they do normal tasks.

Thank you for answering so quickly.

When you say medical bed do you mean a bed assigned for medical use or a special type of bed?

A bed thats been changed to a medical bed will do, but with the one you researched will increase the chance of it going well

I look under bill but i can only find options to harvest not implant

Is the prosthetic arm in a stockpile?

You can't install harvested arms in vanilla, you need a mod to do this. Or just buy a bionic arm.

Me thinks you just remove a prisoner's arm he was born with? maybe, if your playing vanilla the only arms ye can implant are prosthetic arms and bionic arms, also power claws and scyther blades but I don't think your gonna find those last two on a prisoner. Ye can't just take and give a standard issue fleshy arm in vanilla. The 2 arms ye need can be bought from a exotics trader.

Edit: ooh Ykara you just beat me to it

so i took off a man's arm and eye for nothing?

that's fantastic but at least i know for in the future

[Ykara]

Well, there are mods you could install to use the arm (cough, for example EPOE, cough) but your eye isn't useless, you can install it in vanilla I think. But I haven't played vanilla since alpha 6 so you have to test it ^^

Poking in the xmls, seems like you can only steal and implant Hearts, lungs, kidneys and livers. Not a very big list, and half of those cause death upon removal I believe (the other 2 have 2, so you need to steal both to kill the guy). Might be able to see the limbs to a trader though? Must be some use for them in vanilla.

Interestingly, that makes me want to mod it so you can wield an arm/leg like a melee weapon... I'll make a note of that.

I fixed the problem.

I was using your mod and glitter tech but did not use the fix you linked

[Ykara]

Well, you should use the fix if you want both mods, either EPOE or Glittertech won't work properly if you don't. But I'm glad your colonist got his arm back ^^
