Do multiple bionics help or do you only need 1 of each?

I'm confused by the wiki...would 2 bionic eyes for example be better than one? I read something about it maxing out at a certain percentage.

Also, is it true that being completely bionic is bad because you have fewer body parts (fingers, toes) thus taking more damage to your head and torso?

Multiple bionics will always help with "something" but not everything. Sight is the main one that caps, and for most stats it's capped at 100%, but for example ranged accuracy it's capped at 200% so having two archotech eyes will help with that. Move speed and manipulation don't cap anywhere that I can think of offhand, so two archotech legs or arms will always be a great bonus for all relevant tasks.

Not really, the game picks a body "region" to hit then uses a coverage system to determine where in that region to hit. The arm region for example is a shoulder with a coverage of 0.12, the arm 0.77, the hand 0.12, and each finger 0.6-0.8. If you have a bionic arm it will hit the arm instead of a hand or finger. That does mean overall less health for the colonist, but bionics do not bleed, feel pain, or get infected, so they can take a lot more damage before you have to worry about them.

Thanks. So, full bionics is always better then, assuming you can afford it?

And two bionic arms and eyes would in fact be better than just one each?

Yes. Eye's are a lower priority for most colonists (one for your doctors, two for your main snipers/hunters is a good early investment), but my goal every game is to fully equip every colonist in all the best bionics.

Awesome, finally some answers. Thank you friend.

Just imagine:
1: My 5th generation vampire with 2 bionic legs.....
2: My arachne hunter/killer with 6(!!!!!) Bionic legs. She was fast like Anakin Skywalker on the race. 😎😂
