Description
Description

This bionics mod focuses on a very vanilla experience and fills out the numerous prosthetics/bionics/archotechs omitted from the base game. Everything is balanced around vanilla stats, costs, skills and time. Each prosthetic/bionic/archotech changes the body parts efficiency and nothing more. Every part affects only what they are supposed to so there are no weird or whacky bonuses.

The following prosthetics/bionics/archotechs have been added.

Artificial Bone, Artificial Nose, Prosthetic Eye, Prosthetic Hand, Prosthetic Spine, Prosthetic Lung, Prosthetic Kidney, Prosthetic Liver, Prosthetic Stomach, Bionic Lung, Bionic Kidney, Bionic Liver, Bionic Power Arm, Archotech Ear, Archotech Jaw, Archotech Spine, Archotech Heart, Archotech Lung, Archotech Kidney, Archotech Liver, Archotech Stomach.

Royalty Specific (Loaded if you own Royalty)

Drill Arm, Field Arm, both arm types plus the Power Arm will require the research Specialized Limbs.

The artificial part is merely a replacement and offers no advantage over a natural one. The prosthetics and bionics fill out parts omitted from the base game. Prosthetics give 80% part efficiency, bionics give 125% part efficiency and most archotech give 150% efficiency, all of them are comparable to items in the base game. The power arm I added to make the power claw viable for people who no longer have a shoulder.

Ordinarily a power claw can only be attached to a hand, if the shoulder is removed or lost it can no longer be installed. The power arm is a bionic arm with a power claw attached. It is as efficient as a bionic arm (125% efficiency) that deals the same damage as a power claw. It is made using a bionic arm, a power claw and some advanced components.

All Archotech items can only be obtained from quest rewards or from traders.

Mod Settings

The mod settings require XML Extensions and can be found alongside others in the mod setting section. All mod settings are off by default.

Compatibility

If the Royalty DLC is found Royalty specific changes will be done.

This mod will likely run with other bionics mods like EPOE or Rah's Bionics but it is not recommended. Running multiple large bionics mods will result in duplicate body parts with differing stats. My mods are designed to be run on their own or in conjunction with bionics mods that simply add additional implants.

I've added support for Elite Bionics Framework. If the mod is loaded alongside my own bionic parts will be given a HP bonus. It is however not required and is simply an optional addition.

Vanilla Skills Expanded

If Vanilla Skills Expanded is loaded alongside my own mod the Bionics expertise will be added. This allows all bionics and bionics related items to be crafted faster.

Recommended Mods

Prosthetic No Missing Body Parts
This mod changes how the game checks for hands and feet making it possible to wear items such as gloves, boots and rings on bionic limbs. Check your mod settings for it to ensure all possible bionics are enabled.

Elite Bionics Framework
THIS MOD IS NOT REQUIRED
This mod can be run alongside my own mod. If my mod finds it enabled a HP bonus will be added to bionic parts. To my knowledge and from my brief testing it can be installed and uninstalled without issue.

Xenobionic Patcher
While A Dog Said is the popular choice for animal bionics. Xenobionic Patcher makes bionics a one size fits all. You can install normal human bionics on your animals without crafting, finding or buying separate bionics.

Bionic Icons
Modifies the icons for bionic boxes so you can tell what they contain without clicking on them.

That's due to a steam issue which has been ongoing for a while now causing it to download old mod files for some people. Sometimes it fixes itself after a while. However if it doesn't and you can't manage to get it to download properly by resubscribing or verifying the game integrity you can download a copy of my mods from the GitHub linked in the description.

its 1.6 on steam but not in game?

@Leif
I mean that's a vanilla feature. It adds recipes for all the added bionics except archotech since those are not craftable in vanilla.

So does this mod allow you to build bionics?

Because it is, steam is obviously downloading an old version for you. If you can't get it to update itself properly you can grab a copy from the github linked in the description.

@koimono had the same problem but after a while it solved itself and now the 1.6 folder is there. Probably some Workshop things
koimono Jul 28 @ 1:56pm

As per the description Advanced Bionics Expansion already includes Vanilla Bionics Expansion. You can also switch seamlessly from VBE to ABE since ABE directly uses VBE's files then builds upon them with new stuff.

this mod is not compatible with you advanced bionic expansion says the game? is there a way to combine them?
