It is impossible (I think) to attach prosthetic limbs to missing ones. However, it is possible to make a creature regrow its limbs.

Thank you for all the fish. It was a good run.

i was thinking it would be based on the system where a dwarf gets a crutch for a missing leg, so the arm would be gone, they would go get a prosthetic arm

100% completely impossible, as I've already said in your other topic about this. Literally no chance whatsoever. Can't be done. There is no way to implement this in a satisfying way. You can't do it. You can't even add or modify crutches.

its not completely impossible, just a total pain in the @$$, requiring a boatload of additional castes to cover the possibilities of prosthetic limbs, and special materials to change into each caste.

As well as a fuckload of micromanagement required to make sure that the right dwarf replaces the right limb.

yep, reactions for each material for each limb combo for each sex, custom workshop restricted to only the one who needs a limb... and god forbid they lose another.

I was gonna suggest Temp. Transformations to simulate the false limb as wearing out, then I remembered when they change back "Tada" everyone shouts "Jimmy has both his legs back! HURRAY!"

It is possible to have a creature go full cyborg, as in completly made of metal, but otherwise your idea is utterly infeasable.

It's more feasible with several weeks of work. Maybe a bit of exaggeration there, maybe you have a life.
