Analysis

{section=1}}

The neurocalculator's sole benefits are the 20% bonus research speed bonus and the mood buff that transhumanists receive. Due to this, it should only be installed on colonists that conduct research or use the ground-penetrating or long-range mineral scanner. It has no effect on hacking speed.Content added by the Ideology DLC

The brain shock effect can either be a negative or a positive. A melee pawn that is sensitive to EMP is signigicantly less useful as a melee blocker or way to lock down mechanoids, and significantly more likely to die. Meanwhile, a painstopped pawn or a slaveContent added by the Ideology DLC that is sensitive to EMP has a way to reliably down them with no risk of death.

It is advised only colonists with high medical skills install the part as a failed surgery can lead to severe brain scarring and a near inoperable colonist post-surgery.
