The '''Psychic Harmonizer''' is a special psychic implant that projects the mood of the user to other pawns.

==Acquisition==
Psychic harmonizers cannot be crafted, and instead must be acquired through [[trade]] or as a [[quest]] reward.

== Summary ==
{{stub|section=1|reason=How does the moodlet scale (linear with mood)? Max mood penalty}}
Once implanted in a pawn, the harmonizer projects a psychic effect with a radius of 30 tiles that affects nearby pawns with a [[mood|moodlet]] whose value is dependent on the current mood of the implanted pawn. It base value scales from -? at 0% Implantee Mood, up to +10 at 100% mood. 

This value is then proportionally scaled by [[Psychic Sensitivity]] of both the implantee and the subject of the effect. If a 100% happy implantee has 200% sensitivity, they'd give +20 mood buff. If a subject also has 200% psychic sensitivity, they would receive a +40 mood buff.

It only impacts members of the same faction, and pawns ''without'' a psychic harmonizer of their own. Mood bonuses from different harmonizers stack on pawns that meet the prior two criteria, however.

[[Slaves]]{{IdeologyIcon}} are considered to be part of their owners' faction for the purposes of the psychic harmonizer, not of their original faction. 
=== Installation ===
Installing the part requires {{Ticks|2500}} of work, 2x medicine of [[Herbal medicine|herbal]] quality or better, and a [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] of 5.

Removing the part requires {{Ticks|2500}} of work, 1x medicine of [[Herbal medicine|herbal]] quality or better, and a [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] of 5.

If the operation fails, the part has a chance{{Check Tag|What Chance?}} to be destroyed.

==Analysis==
Psychic harmonizers can be an extremely powerful tool to keep your pawns happy, if you install it in a pawn who is easily pleased. But if the pawn gets upset, it can quickly cause a "death spiral" of mood.

===Pawn Choice===
The following aspects lend well to being a (motile) harmonizer pawn:

* Positive [[mood]] traits. [[Sanguine]] and [[Optimist]] have the most straightforward effect on the implantee's mood. Other traits like [[Body modder]], [[Masochist]], and [[Bloodlust]] also work well. Note that traits that impact [[Mental Break Threshold]], like [[Iron-willed]] and [[Nervous]], have 0 impact on the harmonizer. 
* High mood in general: [[Joywire]]s provide a {{+|30}} mood boost. If a pawn is happy all day, they are a good candidate.
* High [[Psychic Sensitivity]]. The higher the sensitivity, the greater the mood buff. It also means a greater effect from a [[psychic drone]], so be very careful with this. [[Eltex]] gear and [[psychic foil helmet]]s can be used to modify psychic sensitivity as needed.
* Pawns that will naturally be near other pawns. For example, a [[psycast]]er can meditate all day (which also counts as [[Recreation]]) in 1 place. A passionate crafter can sit in a chair all day, gaining mood from the passion and the [[comfort]] of their chair. 
* "Disposable" pawns. [[Drug]]s and [[joywire]]s may slow the work of a hauler, but do you really need that extra work speed?
* Unconscious pawns. See below for details.

===Comatose pawns===
A pawn's mood does not change when unconscious. If you can stack mood to 100%, then make a pawn comatose, you'll end up with a permanent {{+|10}} moodlet (so long as the pawn is fed). Because the pawn is unconscious, even a [[psychic drone]] won't bother them, meaning you can stack Psychic Sensitivity as much as you want.

* The easiest way to do this is with the [[Biotech DLC]]. A pawn with the [[Deathrest]] gene{{BiotechIcon}} can willingly enter deathrest, where mood is frozen, and stay in this state indefinitely. A deathrester can be woken on-command, allowing you to replace [[eltex]] gear as needed.  As a side benefit, pawns don't need food during deathrest. 
* An alternative method is to use brain damage. The goal is to get Consciousness below 30% (but above 0%). You can use an already comatose pawn, but if needed, the fastest way to cause brain damage is to fail to install a brain implant (like a [[painstopper]]). If further Consciousness reduction is needed, you can use a [[joywire]] (-20%) and [[circadian half-cycler]] (-15%). If you need to make the pawn conscious again, then either [[go-juice]] or [[wake-up]] can be used for a Consciousness boost.
 
Regardless of method, your patient should have the highest mood and highest Psychic Sensitivity as possible. Using some combination of [[yayo]], [[flake]], [[psychite tea]], [[beer]], [[lavish meal]]s, and [[fine meal]]s should get all but the most devastated pawns to 100% mood (assuming they can take drugs at all).
