Remember that the drill arm also slows the movement speed which is rather crucial especially on those melee colonists

Aesthetic nose combined with aesthetic shaper is useful for beautiful colonists, actually - cobined with stoneskin implant - you keep the beauty and get tankiness. Dentures - stop gap prosthetic - until you get healer mech serum or bioregen. Low grade arm and leg prosthetics - they are not great, but simply better than lacking a limb completely - stop gap, sure, but keeps pawn somewhat usable until you get better alternative - B Tier to me - simply because of how essential they are. Regular and archotech arms - A and S respectively to me. Bionic and Archotech legs both get an S from me, honestly - there is no downside, there is no situation where these are not useful. I find movement speed super important. Field hand - it is faster than bionic and archotech even in this particular task... BUT lack of versatility hurts a lot. To me that is a C tier, considering bionic arm replacement also increase work speed plenty enough. Drill arms - wonderful, solid A tier to me - IF you have a mountain base. For situations that do not require much mining, the speed penalty kind of hurts - B. Melee implants - niche and generally outclassed by bionic arms BUT if you have issues with your ranged pawns notoriously getting swarmed by insectoids or tribals - these are actually VERY good - because you do not give up shooting for still rather decent melee capability. Except knee spike - you want bionic legs instead. Stomachs - Bionic stomach is a solid B to me. It is still better than original. Not fulnerable to EMP. Detoxifier - at the time you get this, food poisoning should be rare - BUT it can be useful on caravans, or if your cook gets incapacitated. EPM vulnerability is occasionally a problem. A tier to me. Reprocessor - C tier to me. At this point of the game lack of food isn't a problem. 25% is not that great... It has a niche use for caravan. Nuclear stomach - Cancer is a gamebreaker to me, if I'm being honest. If you can reliably heal cancer, sure, it is fantastic. C tier to me, honestly. Heart prosthetic - it is useful, niche, but useful. Regular hearts ripped from prisoners are better, but if your ideology does not like organ harvesting... This is your next best option. Or suffering through mood debuff for a while. In a pinch, it is a life saver for older pawns. Bionic heart - increases a lot of stats - that is S tier to me. Manipulation is nice, but you also get improved blood filtration also gets you improved immunity buildup, just fantastic.

How about ranking every warcrime in rimworld next?

21:36 Nuclear Stomachs in the Biotech DLC become EX tier easily once you get the required gene of Non-senescent (Extract from Vampire/Sanguophages)... with more complex gene modpacks your pawns' hunger rate will absolutely skyrocket (easily 225%) Installing a NS will drop that to below the standard normal 56-90% depending on the Metabolic Efficiency penalty of gene modpack applied.

I'd put the venom fangs specifically into A tier. While it has lower dps than most other combat prosthetic, it's the only one that doesn't conflict with any bionics and it's relatively cheap since it doesn't require advanced component which means it will remain useful all the way to the late game. Venom weapons also allow you to capture enemies more reliably. When enemies become incapacited due to pain or low moving, the game rolls a dice and they have a chance to die (typically 60%). If they get incapacited due to toxic buildup, the game skips this stage. So one strategy is to cast painblock on an enemy you'd like to capture and then to skip them in the middle of 8 of your pawns with venom fangs. That pawn will have a decent chance to get knocked down due to toxic buildup. This is not nearly as reliable as a shock lance since your colonists can still bite their head off or they can land too many bites at once and kill the pawn from toxic buildup, but it's significantly more likely to net you a prisoner than just shooting at them.

Cyborgs are Kenshi aproved, this is the way

Great ranking list! I definitely have made an aesthetic nose for a colonist who was disfigured and their spouse had a lower opinion of her. XD Didn't want to deal with them potentially breaking up. Well played!

I'd honestly put the cochlear implants in B tier. It's cheap and it fixes disfigured pawns.

Nuclear stomach is really good for lategame when you need to consistently train doctors.

Just a quick thought: artificial arms attach to the shoulders, and get the full level of protection from the flak vest. Meaning a pawn with a flak vest and two bionic arms basically has marine armor level protection for everything except his legs. And if you also make the legs bionic... Well, bionic legs don't bleed, don't cause pain, and reduced movement speed doesn't affect shooting. Meaning the bionic limbs synergize wel with the flak vest, doubly so because the marine armor (which is supposed to be an upgrade to the flak vest) costs roughly the same as two bionic limbs. And, while marine armor slows you down, bionic limbs have massive benefits outside of combat as well.

Quite awesome honestly

Get a jogger with scout armor and 2 arceteck legs and the pawn will be flying

The 'niche' for toxic buildup is less fighting tough opponents, rather than keeping enemy pawns alive for capture I think. But there are psychik shocklances for the ones that are not psychically immune of course. Also, even without sidearms, I'd put all the weapon implants into F-Tier. They take a techprint to research and they would block you from an extra bionic or archotech limb. So to me they are just a trap. Unless you can safely train melee skills on your ranged pawns in Vanilla, these ranged pawns caught in melee will not perform well enough without melee skills. Usually that makes it better to just have other ranged pawns close enough to avoid friendly fire and then shoot down the enemy that managed to catch your pawn as quickly as possible to avoid taking more damage.

In one run. I almost made a vampire have all the archotech body parts. Was having quite a lot of fun with thay

7:49 why isn't it possible?

I remember when you would replace an entire arm because you lost a single finger. Oh the way Rimworld has evolved, in no small part to the modding community.

So just a thought if you install 2 powerclaws and 2 kneespikes and 2 elbowblades on a melee pawn would that be any good or is it better to just go with a high tier melee weapon instead?

Nuclear stomach depends a lot on playstyle. Aside from surviving better in harsher biomes, the -75% nutrition reduction is often overlooked for caravaning pawns. A pawn with decent Plants skill can survive without the need to pack food. It's also good for colonies running on paste since it reduces the time pawns have the mood debuff. On the other hand, the downside to Fine Meal and Lavish Meal also applies. For early game Body Modder mood buffs with little downside before players can get their hands on those sweet Bionic and Archotech parts, Dentures are very cost effective for the net +7 mood gain. Cochlear Implants are the best. A single Wooden Leg is ok for crafting/researching pawn that don't move much.

Great video! Now i want to make a colony of cyborgs...

with the new biotech the nukestomach is probably s tier since it synergizes pretty hard with some of the genes.

What happens if you install multiple implanted weapons? Do they attack with all of them? Or just the best one?

Do bionic limbs ever take permanent damage? Like old wounds and such?

drill hands should really get a bonus to dismantling walls.

Thought he said "PsyCats" and now I'm going to see if there's a mod for that yet

Stomachs seem great for caravaneers.

I'd say bionic spine is an S. It's either paralysis or spine right?

10:56 The power claw is better in melee than the bionic arm, it has way more dps

if I have 20 colonists, this is unreal to produce all bionic parts for all of them, right?

"By that point food shouldn't be an issue".... Hmmm clearly I am not doing something right.

After watching the video first time, I decided to install bionic heart to literally everyone except prisoners, doing the scout speech after the surgery thing then rewatch the video 4 more time to decide the next mass install, notice that emp can affect bionic organ,... Would my colonists that have bionic heart die if they get emp? 😨

I think that Melee implants fit melee character too because they make your pawn better melee figther too even if you use a weapon

I'd put the nuclear stomach at F tier personally, because F*** cancer.

I still havent installed any prostethics or performed any surgeries 😂 . Im on my second rimworld run

I've been playing with mods too long. I have forgotten what is actually base game shit.

Asthetic nose is better with recruiting because social opinion matters during recruiting along with mood and tech level and social skill.

Power claw - B? I don't really like it... F for me, if 2 colonists get in a social fight, one gets with heavy damage or worse: decapitated. You want to capture an enemy, bam, limb ripping or worse, that guy becomes useless. The lesser the beauty, the more social fights... literally more damage then a raid, not worth it, not to mention the romance usefulness. Otherwise, I agree with the ranking :D Also, as flavor, I generally roleplay, so I don't think anyone wants a farm hand or drill hand (sounds unhealthy), knee spike etc so I just don't use them.

S tier vid

It is not worth installing more than 1 weapon bionic, since they can only use 1 weapon to attack. And 75% of the time they will use the best one, they have

Rank drugs.

Are theses on a DLC?
