Bionic Bug: Error Prone

Bionic Bug: Error Prone is a duplicant trait that indicates the subject’s implanted bionic systems are prone to malfunction. The trait description states that the duplicant’s bionics “err on the side of erring,” summarizing that their artificial augmentations have a tendency to produce errors rather than operate flawlessly.

This trait functions as a characterization flag for the duplicant’s relationship with implanted technology. The wording used across multiple localizations conveys the same meaning: the duplicant’s bio‑mechanical components are unreliable and have an increased likelihood of producing faults. The trait emphasizes the duplicant’s bionic systems specifically, rather than organic health or psychological tendencies.

• The trait is purely descriptive in its text: it identifies unreliable bionics as a notable personal attribute.
• The phrasing used in translations commonly conveys frequent failure, malfunction, or error-proneness of implants.
• The trait applies to the duplicant’s bionic systems and does not mention organic abilities, social behavior, or other non‑bionic characteristics.

Because the available descriptions are focused on the bionic subsystems themselves, this trait serves as a clear indicator to players that a duplicant’s implants should be considered unreliable when planning tasks or medical treatment. The entry does not specify particular in‑game mechanics, numeric penalties, or interactions with other traits; it should therefore be interpreted as a trait label describing the duplicant’s relationship to implanted technology rather than a detailed mechanical rule.
