Most humans in Staraways with access to good medical care can actually get lab-grown flesh limbs to replace any missing ones, which is a solution especially favored by traumatic amputees. Humans with congenital limb deficiencies are the ones usually more interested in cybernetic prosthetics, but they’re just as expensive to make as meat limbs, so… you’re more likely to see people with cheap adaptive prosthetics. The fancy robo ones are controlled by a small universal wifi implant hooked to the spinal cord. (This means that, yes, you can prank your amputee friends by hacking their wifi limbs. Shenanigans??)
There are definitely communities of people with robot limbs and eyes and stuff who are very dedicated to the aesthetic and may or may not be chopping off their flesh body parts on purpose, but it’s not THAT common… they’re sorta like modern extreme body mod communities. Like, I guess you could replace all your limbs with stronger robolimbs and deal with the pain of recovery and phantom limb issues and possible health complications; or you could keep your regular legs and hop in a robotic exoskeleton to roughly the same effect instead. Maybe I’m a little biased as someone who’s more into biopunk than cyberpunk but, whateveeerrr man
Of the non-humans ferrets also favor labmeat limbs, but avians have garbage underfunded biological sciences so you tend to see them with fancy cybernetics more than anyone else. Centaur medical studies haven’t progressed to the limb growing stage yet, nor do they have neural hookups for cybernetics, so cheap adaptive prosthetics it is.
Edit: The setup now includes a transdermal titanium anchor fastened the bone, to keep load bearing weight on the skeleton and prevent bruising. This method still heals completely and does not cross the skin barrier.
