FAQ - Frequently asked questions
How do I harvest parts?
With this mod you can harvest artificial parts & implants. Basically everything (non-natural) that can be 'added' to a colonist/prisoner with a medical operation: Prostetic Arms, Bionic Eyes, FancySpecialModAddedUberPart,...

To harvest those parts from a Corpse you need to build a Harvesting bench (requires at least 'Basic Harvesting' research). Here you can add 'Harvest corpse' jobs like any other recipe. More complicated parts need better research.

I cannot harvest part XYZ - why is that?
The harvesting recipes will only touch/use corpses up to the level of complexity of the job. Meaning a 'Harvest primitive' job will only use a corpse that contains (at most) Peg Legs (or similar), a 'Harvest advanced' job will touch corpses with Prostetics (or simpler), and a 'Harvest Glittertech' will touch any corpse.
If you are unsure, what level of harvesting you need for a corpse, click the 'I' symbol of the corpse in the bottom left. It will list a 'Max. Complexity' stat in the listing..
If you still can't harvest a part, make sure it's not too destroyed. The default settings for the mod allow reclaiming a part with 50% hitpoints (or more) in that part. If the part health is below that, it's considered non harvestable. That range can be changed in the settings.

Also - you cannot harvest from rotten corpses. So stock things in the freezer if you want to grab stuff.
