Is missing one eye a big deal?

[Rumpelforeskin]

On colonists it drops sight to 75 percent, is that a big hit to gun accuracy?

On animals, does it matter much?

[Crisco]

Eyes are just for variety, not really needed in Rimworld.... I usually remove and sell all of mine....

[Astasia]

Loss of an eye is a pretty signficant hit to pretty much every stat in the game. It only really matters for animals if they try to fight anything though.

Will... yes... but it doesn't make something worthless I have an animal with messing a leg and paw and a heart condition take on several raiders and survive several raids.

Wouldn't that makes you unable to hit anything with a gun?

It makes them a bit worse at pretty much everything. It doesn't make them useless, but it's definitely worth replacing with a bionic/arcotech eye. Plus then they make great snipers once they have enhanced vision.

Had one fella get an eye shot out, then shot in the leg, then his other eye shot out. 2 raids later I got a 'suitably wounded' captive, and harvested both eyes (and misc parts). One eye went in no trouble, but the other just got him an extra stab and cut wound to the head. Since then, we've had to improvise.

So yes, one eye gone means you suck 25% at... basically everything.

On the other hand, having two archotech eyes, turns you into a Superman.

Unless I'm mistaken, there's also a significant chunk of stats for which the maximum efficiency achieved by sight is 100%, so improving your sight beyond that of a normal human with bionic parts is going to be less efficient than hoped. You're still gonna be a hell of a shooter though.

Ya sadly sight was nerfed super hard in like A16 or so, the only things not capped at 100% sight are accuracy, dodge and medical tend speed/quality. Medical tend is capped at 130 and 140% sight, dodge is 140%, melee accuracy 150%, and shooting accuracy at 200% sight.
