Missing Shoulder

[Hones]

Hello there!

So... My main Mechanitor colonist had a little accident with a prisoner I really want to recruit and now he is missing his shoulder (and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ archotech arm that was installed there...). Are there ANY ways to restore something that big?
Biosculptor pod only regenerates small stuff like fingers and toes, if I am not mistaken. Same with Luciferium, I believe. And if I remember correctly, if the shoulder is missing, I can't even install another bionic or archtotech arm there, either...

Any suggestions?

The archotech/bionic/prosthetics already come with preinstalled shoulders. You should be able to install them regardless if your colonists are missing a shoulder.

Really? That's great to hear, I could swear you needed an intact shoulder for that... but I probably had some other implants in mind.

The biological shoulder would have been amputated when the archotech arm was installed, I think.

The healing mech serum is also a option if youre colonist is a body purist, but they are quite rare. Vanilla Psycast Expanded would be a good Mod option if you skill to "regrow limbs" on Protecter

There is certainly some confusing mechanics at work here so it can be easy to mix up. You need an intact human shoulder in order to install a drill arm, because the drill arm is "just an arm" and the arm needs to attach to a shoulder. A prosthetic/bionic/archotech "arm" is actually just a shoulder, there is no arm or hand part of it, they attach to the torso in the shoulder slot. This inconsistency certainly muddies the water a bit.

Thanks! Pretty sure the drill arm was what was confusing me here, I remember having problems with a missing shoulder in that context.
