The '''glucosoid pump''' is a building added by the [[Biotech DLC]] that increases the move speed of [[deathrest]]ers.

Glucosoid pumps can be constructed once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. Each requires {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.

Constructing a hemogen amplifier requires [[Research#Deathrest|Deathrest]] to be researched, {{Required Resources}}, and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work.

The glucosoid pump increases a [[sanguophage]]s movement speed by providing them with a Glucosoid Rush hediff after deathresting.
Active glucosoid pumps require a pawn capable of [[deathrest]], and must be connected to a [[deathrest casket]]. Each glucosoid pump consumes {{#expr:-{{P|Power Consumption}}}}W of power and {{Icon Small|hemogen pack}} 0.5 [[hemogen pack]] per day as long a pawn is deathresting in an attached casket. It can hold up to 5 packs at a time, for a maximum run time of 10 days, and is constructed fully fueled. The pump will be automatically refueled by a [[Work#Haul|haulers]] so long as auto-refueling is enabled.
 
 
 
A functional glucosoid pump grants 1 stack of Glucosoid Rush after a pawn wakes from a non-interrupted [[deathrest]].  Up to 4 glucosoid pumps can be connected at a time. The bonus will be lost if deathrest gene is removed from the pawn.
 
 
 
'''Glucosoid Rush'''

* [[Move speed]] multiplied by 1.12.
 
* Multiplied by severity (e.g. 2 pumps = x1.24 movement)
 
 
 
Like other deathrest buildings, a glucosoid pump permanently binds to a pawn once used, with no penalty for deconstruction. Deathresting pawns have their own separate limit to the buildings they can connect to, which can be increased with a [[deathrest capacity serum]].

Consider holding off on building them until you are more well established and are able to produce steel and components reliably with [[deep drill]]s and [[fabrication bench]]es.

They also do not consume power while idling, unlike their contemporaries such as [[sleep accelerator]]s. Hence, they can be left idle without consequence.

===Comparison between deathrest buildings===
 
Both glucosoid pumps and [[deathrest accelerator]]s are useful to just about any deathrester. Accelerators reduce the time where the pawn is useless, while glucosoid pumps optimize the time when the pawn is awake. Eventually, you can install the maximum amount of both buildings using [[deathrest capacity serum]]s, but these are uncommon and expensive.
 
 
The glucosoid pump offers benefits to work and combat.
 
* For work, the increased movement speed helps with [[hauling]] and other movement heavy jobs. For every 30 days, a [[sanguophage]] (which have the Low Sleep gene) sleeping in a normal quality [[bed]] would spend {{#expr: 30 * 0.8574 round 2}} days awake. If the pawn did nothing but move for this time, they would end up saving {{#expr: 30 * 0.8574 * 0.12 round 2}} days worth of productivity. In practice, pawns are stationary during [[Recreation]] and many types of work tasks.
 
 
* For combat, the glucosoid pump only increases ''move speed''. It does not increase [[Moving]], meaning it does not affect [[Melee Dodge Chance]]. And sanguophages have the [[Genes#Longjump|Longjump]] gene, which is much better than walking when closing distances in melee. However, the extra movement speed can be used for tactical purposes. If your deathrester is far away, they can reach combat faster. Extra movement speed helps with [[kiting]].
 
 
: In the daylight, sanguophages are slower than normal humans by {{#expr: 4.6 - (4.8 * 0.9) round 2}} {{CS}}, even with [[Genes#Fast runner|Fast runner]], due to their [[Genes#Mild UV Sensitivity|UV Sensitivity]]. This slight difference in movement can make it difficult to retreat from human enemies. A sanguophage with 1 glucosoid pump will be faster than a baseline human, even if they are wearing [[marine armor]].
 
 
For comparison, a deathrest accelerator will shorten deathrest by 0.6 day (1.1 days with two). The most dangerous part of deathrest is when one of your most powerful combatants is stuck deathresting during a [[raid]]. If you rely on a sanguophage for combat, even slightly decreasing the time where you are more vulnerable to raids is most likely worth the slight efficacy decrease.
