You have missed the Masochist trick with the Mindscrew, masochists get a mood boost from pain, so they are happier with one installed. And yes it stacks with Joywire and Psychic Harmonizer, so they are a barely conscious beacon of happiness wandering around the base.
I always like to have a "transhumanist" colonists to give the psychic harmonizer implant. In time, I can get the +13 mood buff for "my macine body is complete" for having so many artificial body parts (the psychic harmonizer being one of them), which almost guarantees that a positive mood buff will be given to nearby colonists from the psychic harmonizer effect. And if you ever find a "transhumanist" that has the "optomistic" or "sanguine" trait, that is a golden opportunity for a psychic harmonizer.
Venom fangs are actually pretty good. It's the only combat implant that doesn't conflict with any other bionics (unless you count denture but those are a downgrade). The best thing about them as they are great for capturing pawns. When enemy pawns get down due to pain shock, low consciousness or love moving capacity, the game throws a dice and the pawn in question as a high chance (typically 60%, adjustable by difficulty) to instantly die. In addition to those who die from actually mortal wounds, this doesn't let you capture a lot of enemies. When they are downed from toxic buildup though, they skip that dice-roll altogether. So an easy way to capture a lot of pawns would be to put 8 pawns with venom fangs in a square shape and to skip pain-immune enemies in the middle. Essentially, this means you want to select enemies who are high on go-juice or you want to cast pain-block on them first. Keep in mind that it's still not a guaranteed capture because your pawns might randomly destroy the enemy's torso or their head or their toxic buildup might get to 100% for being high several times at once etc. Still, in my experience I manage to catch somewhere between 50% and 70% of enemies I try this on. Also keep in mind some enemies you capture this way will catch carcinoma or dementia while recovering from toxic buildup.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you.
Friendly reminder that during social fights pawns will use their bionics, unless that has been patched out. Had a colonist venom talon/fang another colonist once. I was a little perturbed.
Just finished an Archonexus run tonight. All of my main pawns were JACKED on bionics with the EPOE mod-- great stuff. Right at the end I implanted a Joywire and psychic harmonizer into a sanguine pawn to see what would happen-- everyone was running around with a +5-8 buff on average after that, definitely recommend that combination if you can get it.
If you’re going minmax, make it a sanguine masochist with a mind screw, joywire, drugs, and beat the shit out of them every couple days. Barely conscious beacon of joy.
I can see it now. "Having a mood break? That's a pukin'. High rebellion chance? That's a pukin'. Coward trait makin' you flee? That's a pukin'. Pukin' in the colony kitchen? Oh, you better believe that's a pukin'."

Circadian Half-Cycler - Production specialists? I'll have to look into that... I figured it'd penalize them but never looked at the actual figures. I've always given half-cyclers to my haulers, cleaners, cooks, farmers, miners, and animal handlers. A group of skillsets I generally coin as 'Drudges' in my colony, to include slaves generally. Older pawns usually end up cleaners/cooks to keep close due to Bad-Back/Frail (I don't go out of my way for a bionic spine unless critical - they're fairly rare to acquire from trading. Replacement pawns are cheap and if someone becomes too useless, they can become food). Generally don't need much consciousness here and their slower speed is countered by their staying awake all the time. Brain-damaged pawns often also end up with such for me unless they get a useful Savant status. Toss on a couple Bionic legs, and a Nuclear Stomach (or akin) and you have Drudge class that keeps up pretty decently with the scut work and needs not much food, allowing your specialists to focus on their tasks.
I like to give my pawns the specials arm implants like drill arms and such and play as Techno Barbarian raiders going from place to place. I play with to many mods and I have 1 pawn who's a mix between a Fist of the North Star character and a TechnoPriest from WH40k.
Get the organs evolved mod if you don't have it already. Basically lets you make genetic super soldiers in the same way as bionic super soldiers, for maximum SPESS MAREENS
With Ideology DLC transhumanist preceipt this is extremely good. Basically you are playing tall with your colonists. The upsides of this: 1) you can build neural supercharger for extra layer of buffs for your colonist Adds 10% consciousness giving 125% ->138% speed 2)Sleep accelerators are great, with them and legendary beds (made utilizing engineer profession) colonists get 180-224% rest effectiveness. They sleep for about 3 hours. I already started to forget what in game time of day is right now. And then you add circadian assistants. No sleep for us without any debuffs! 3) Colonists get mood buffs (and relations bonus?)for prosthetics, easy as that. 4)2x faster biosculpturing progress, good for using healing or regeneration if you need some. (My passion project is “second youth” from 71 to 17) 5)dedicated prosthetics such as field hand/drill hand are the best 6) if biosculpture pod can heal cancer I might install nuclear stomachs for my fieldworkers so they will go back just to sleep and get recreation. Downsides are: 1)hard start: I believe colonists begin to want new toys with wealth rising so wealth management until research is done is required. 2)More power and space requirements. 3)Quite costly. 4)Losing precious implants upon death so protect your colonists.
if you do a transhumanist then by the time you have nuclear stomach you will also have pretty good doctors witch should have no problem of removing that cancer
I did transhumanist organ harvesters and well... yeah i maxed my doctor in the early industrial era. Turns out removing dozens of organs is a great learning experience for doctors!
I have a body purist colonist and given it complete bionic limbs, eyes, and also organs which at this point the only pure body parts they have is the torso and head. -35 mood debuff saying "I have become what I hate" with the description "I asked for the exact opposite of this!". That joywire + yayo be looking pretty cute though
The Mindscrew & Psychic Harmonizer combo for prisoners actually sounds very practical now that you mention it. As it will cause revolting prisoners to be downed faster: resulting in fewer casualties and shorter revolts. Thanks for the tip!! Crusty Peanut's Warcrime's Expanded could also be used to amplify such an effect. All prisoner pawns might as well have the Wimp trait :) .
My best pawn is an asetic masochist transhumanist night owl pawn. Mind screw, sleeping spot in the boiler room, joy wire, 'borged to hell and back abd psychic harmoniser. Massive mood buffs plus he's a fantastic cleaner. Yeah, he's basically an ultra-happy borged up janitor who works the night shift and makes everyone happy even while he's asleep.
Joy wire and psychic harmonize on a pampered slave that you let walk freely throughout the colony only cleaning, hauling, and social tasks would be amazing,
@@deplorabledegenerate2630 the funny part for me was that a bunch of the bionics shown in this video I assumed was part of the expanded prosthetics mod, it being part of my mod list even before the version 1.0 release didn't help I guess
If you want to play around with some of the goodies early game you can use the character editor or prepare carefully. If you feel like that is cheating off balance it by adding a few flaws to the pawns or decreasing their skills. Basically how I learned most of these as game play features.
From what I understand because of how the rimworld of magic mod works if someone has any "bionic" part instead of what they were born with the bionic part will still be part of there body if they become a lich instead of the bionic part being replaced (in other words you can make cyborg lich's in rimworld if you have the right mod)
Hey Noobert, i think one of your chinchilla's got into your editor's den and messed with the video's sound settings since the volume seems to decrease a little bit around the 5:35 mark for me. Might want to set an example to your other chinchilla's so there's no chance at revolts.
Im the only editor these days XD. It did do that because i didnt record all the voice lines at the same time. Ill try to line it up better in the future.
@@Noobert so, no chinchillas got in and messed with the video sounds? ;) It's all good man, just wanted to let you know about this small mistake in case you weren't aware of it.
Get yourself a nimble tough brawler melee specialist with all of these and they can take a mech cluster by themselves with nothing but a log. Or at least: I thought they'd be able to
Bro the doctors -_- I went to replace the right eye with a bionics the doctor failed and gouged the left eye out 😑she was already missing a right eye hence why I tried a bionic 😂😂
@@Noobert okay. Thanks. Looks like the wargs will have a strange meal. Do the implants affect how much rep you get when podding the bodies back to their tribes?
Ambition of the Cosmic: True Pinnacle of Creation,s bionics are ungodly good to the point of godly but there is another mod that adds even more powerfull bionics and lets just say its not void
It's called the Autobong, only avalible with High Life or Buddhist ideologies, and can be loaded with smoke or smokeleaf (smoke is smoke, Smokeleaf gives -30 to conciousness which is great for killboxes)
Warning: even with all the odds in your favour you can still fail so badly and kill the pawn. Remember only if it’s necessary or if you have the right equipment/doctor.
make the royalty dlc bionics is what we meant. Their quests tend to drop the little information disks that allow you to research how to make their bionics. Technically you don't need to play nice to get them as they can be found in ancient dangers and so on but they are the best way to get them if that makes sense
All the flesh shapers and aesthetic nose fail to hide the fact that all parts except things like lungs and hearts, are bionic. Not even rockskin can hide the red laser eye.

The ideal Rimworld mindset.
I am but a simple muffalo farmer. This talk of bionics and fancy-shmancy cybernetics is nothing but a bunch of hoopla to me.
After all, there is no thread a herd of muffalos could not overcome, I know.
Been looking for a bionics guide for forever as i have never used any nor have i any clue on how to use them in my entire 36.2 hours of rimworld
I was trying to see if anyone made one before when i was figuring out what to do for the thumbnail and was suprised to find no results.
I am glad you are getting back to full length rimworld vids
Honestly I liked the short ones too. It shows a willingness to not stretch a topic beyond what is needed just to fill a run time.
