It appears to me (by comparing the parts spreadsheet and the RimWorld wiki) that certain prosthetic, namely bionics, have received a buff over their vanilla counterparts. For instance:

Vanilla Bionic Arm = 125% effectiveness, 9 damage
RBSE Bionic Arm = 130% effectiveness, 12 damage

Vanilla Archotech Arm = 150% effectiveness
RBSE Archotech Arm = 160% effectiveness

Vanilla Bionic Spine = 100% effectiveness, no buffs
RBSE Bionic Spine = 100% effectiveness, +10% Moving, +10% Manipulation

This seems to be a general trend with most of the prosthetic in this mod and I'm wondering why the general increase in effectiveness? Especially if arms/legs and hands/feet can be comboed together (e.g. effectiveness from prosthetic arm and hand stack together). It seems like bionic augmented pawns will be much, much more powerful in this mod relative to their vanilla counterparts. While I love the variety added by this mod, I really do not want it to make prosthetics any more power than vanilla prosthetics. I would like it to introduce more options for prothetics, but also make them generally *less* or *as* powerfulas vanilla prosthetics. Basically:

- neolithic prosthetics (hook hand, peg leg) are less than half as effective as normal body parts
- simple prosthetics are more effective than neolithics, but only about 75-80% of a normal body part at most
- regular bionic prothetics are roughly equivalent to normal body parts (e.g. 90-100%)
- advanced bionic prothetics are roughly what vanilla bionics are now (e.g. ~125% effectiveness)
- Archotech prosthetics are unchanged from vanilla archotech (~150%)
- synthetic organs are not as effective as organic organs (e.g. 80% effectiveness)
- bionic organs (the vanilla ones) are slighty more effective than normal organs (~110%)
- all brain implants all have significant trade-offs, rather than being straight buffs
- hand+arm combos and foot+leg combos are not any more powerful than vanilla arms and legs; both are needed to have the same effectiveness as the vanilla arms and legs
