The '''neural supercharger''' is a [[misc]] building added by the [[Ideology DLC]]. It allows pawns to supercharge their brain once per day, at the cost of consuming power and the pawn consuming extra food.

== Acquisition ==
 
−
Neural superchargers can be constructed once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. They require {{Required Resources}} and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work. Neural superchargers can only be constructed by colonist with an [[Ideoligion]] containing the [[Ideoligion#Transhumanist|Transhumanist]] meme.

== Summary ==
 
−
{{Stub|section=1|reason=General. Also: What happens if loses power, what options are there for control, who can and will automatically use the supercharger etc}}
 
−
{{Quote|An externally-induced increase in sensitivity and synchronicity of neurons. This boosts consciousness and learning rate at the cost of increased hunger.|'''Neural supercharge definition'''}}
 
−
 
 
−
Once connected to power, the neural supercharger will begin to charge. It needs to be charged for {{Ticks|60000}} or 24 in-game hours. After being charged, a colonist can use the device, granting them the Neural Supercharge hediff for {{Ticks|60000}} or 24 in-game hours, with the following effects:
 
−
* {{+|10%}} [[Consciousness]]
 
−
* {{+|25%}} [[Global Learning Factor]]
 
−
* {{++|20%}} [[Hunger Rate Factor]]
 
−
 
 
−
Note that both the charge time and hediff duration is the same - thus a single supercharger can keep a single pawn almost permanently supercharged, minus travel time.
 
−
 
 
−
If colony [[expectations]] are at Moderate (80,000 colony [[wealth]]) or higher, then those believing in a [[Ideoligion#Transhumanist|Transhumanist]] ideoligion will receive {{--|6}} ''Want neural supercharge'' if not currently affected by its hediff.

−
=== Impacts ===
 
−
+10% Consciousness equates to +10% [[Manipulation]], [[Eating]], and [[Talking]]. If Consciousness is below 100%, then this boost also increases [[Moving]].
 
−
 
 
−
Manipulation in particular affects a wide variety of stats and work types, such as Crafting, Construction, Plants, and Medical. Not only will the boost make each job 10% faster, but it will also increase plant yield and medical tend quality. For a full list of affected stats, see their individual pages.
 
−
 
 
−
== Analysis ==
 
−
{{Stub|section=1|reason= Over focused on transhumanist colonies but not only available to them, also needs an in-depth analysis of the effect of the buffs and their value proposition as a standalone effect rather than assuming a TH colony must have them and not considering whether its worth a non-TH getting them}}
 
−
The neural supercharger, along with the [[sleep accelerator]] and [[biosculpter pod]], are a defining feature of the Transhumanist meme. Most comparisons should be made to Transhumanist vs non-Transhumanists, not with building the supercharger independently.
 
  
−
The hunger cost is usually negligible, able to be countered in many [[biome]]s by simply growing more food. If you're using a [[nutrient paste dispenser]], then a neural super-charged pawn still consumes less food than a regular pawn eating [[simple meal]]s.
+
==Acquisition==
 +
A Neural Supercharger can be built with {{icon|metal|50}} and {{icon|component|4}} after unlocking the [[Research#Neural_supercharger|Neural Supercharger]] research. A Neural Supercharger must be built by a colonist with a Transhumanist [[Ideoligion]]
  
−
Rather, the real cost is with power and resources. With each pawn needing a supercharger, and each supercharger consuming 400W of power and {{Required Resources}}, it can take a lot of power to run a transhumanist colony. Pawns will also enjoy having a sleep accelerator, which consumes another {{Required Resources|Sleep accelerator}}, and 350 W when sleeping. Constructing both buildings, and the [[generator]]s required to run them, will also increase colony [[wealth]] by a fair amount.
+
==Summary==
 +
Once connected to power, the neural supercharger will begin to charge. It needs to be charged for {{ticks|60000}} or 24 in-game hours. After being, charged a colonist can use the device, granting them +10% [[Consciousness]], +20% [[Hunger Rate Factor]], and +25% [[Global Learning Factor]]  
  
−
Once you reach high expectations, Transhumanist pawns will start demanding [[biosculpter pod#Age_reversal|age reversal]]. In addition to building the pod, this will take an absolute minimum of 2.61 days of a pawn's time per year, assuming the pod is in a [[sterile tile|sterile]] room. With 4.35% - 6% of their year stuck in age reversal, the supercharger + sleep accelerator still ends up being a net positive in work - just a costly one.
+
==Analysis==
−
 
+
In colonies with plenty of food and a surplus of power, the supercharger is an easy way to increase the efficiency of a pawn, allowing them to build and craft more than normal. For colonies without the Transhumanist meme, a person who follows an [[ideoligion]] with the meme can be recruited and can build it.  
−
Once you can afford the costs of all 3 buildings, both the supercharger and the sleep accelerator are free buffs to pawn work speed.
