Neural supercharger

Neural supercharger

A neuron-sensitizing device that can deliver one neural supercharge each day. A person with a neural supercharge will think and learn faster, but will also consume more food. The effect wears off in one day. Neural superchargers consume a lot of electricity.

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

A Neural Supercharger can be built with Steel 50 and Component 4 after unlocking the Neural Supercharger research. A Neural Supercharger must be built by a colonist with a Transhumanist Ideoligion

Summary

Once connected to power, the neural supercharger will begin to charge. It needs to be charged for 60,000 ticks (16.67 mins) 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

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.
