Once a person is inserted, the device will insert the probes into their body through the skin while the ripscanner chews through the brain, reading the reflected radiation and destroying the brain in the process. Ripscanning the mind generates a neuro-psychic pattern that the scanner can analog-transfer to a new high-tier mechanoid subcore.<br/>Subcores are mechanoid brains and producing any mechanoid requires one. High-tier subcores produced by this ripscanner can only power high-tier mechanoids.

The '''subcore ripscanner''' is a building added by the [[Biotech DLC]] that allows for the creation of [[high subcore]]s by ripscanning [[human]] pawns.

== Acquisition ==
Subcore ripscanner can be constructed once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. They require {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.

== Summary ==
The subcore ripscanner takes 150 W of [[power]]. Its only purpose is to form a [[high subcore]], an ingredient used for the gestation of the following mechanoids:
{{Ingredient List|High subcore|noCollapse=1}}

A high subcore requires 50 [[steel]] and 4 [[components]] to create. Then, a non-[[baby]] [[human]] must sit in the scanner for {{ticks|7500}}. The pawn then [[death|dies]] from destruction of the brain. This is considered an execution for all intents and purposes.

== Analysis ==
The primary way to get participants for the ripscanner are [[prisoner]]s, taken from the constant supply of raiders. It is also possible to use colonists who you would've banished in the first place.

High subcores are used for a variety of advanced mechanoids, which all have their niches. Solo mechanitors in particular will value the [[paramedic]], which can rescue its master and perform [[surgery]] on them. If you want to make any of the listed mechs, then the ripscanner is an essential investment. If don't want any ripscanner mechs for the time being, then you can skip on the ripscanner.

The Subcore ripscanner does not take pawns with scanning sickness.

If used in tandem with a pawn capable of [[death refusal]]{{AnomalyIcon}}, it is possible to obtain a high subcore while keeping the pawn alive after the fact. This incurs the typical penalties associated with death refusal revival, but can be especially useful when looking to ripscan [[cultist]] raiders as they can then be sold, organ harvested, or ripscanned a 2nd time.

===Human resources===
{{Main|Human resources}}
A high subcore requires {{Icon Small|silver||{{#expr:50*{{Q|Steel|Market Value Base}} + 4*{{Q|Component|Market Value Base}}}}}} [[silver]] of non-human material and is worth {{icon Small|silver||{{Q|High subcore|Market Value Base}}}} [[silver]], for a Market Value profit of {{Icon Small|silver}} {{#expr:1000 - 223}}. When used on guilty prisoners, there isn't a mood penalty.

Selling prisoners directly to a slaver or [[faction base]] often is more profitable; this only gives a {{--|3}} [[mood]]let per prisoner. However, human market value is dependent on a pawn's quality; sufficiently bad traits like brain damage, a [[peg leg]], or previous organ harvests can make a high subcore more valuable. 

Organ harvests in general are more profitable: a [[heart]] or [[liver]] is worth {{Icon Small|silver||{{Q|Heart|Market Value Base}}}} and requires 2 [[medicine]] of any type to extract. However, this usually gives {{--|5}} mood for organ harvesting and another {{--|6}} for organ-murder.

== Version history ==
* [[Biotech DLC]] Release - Added.
* [[Version/1.4.3534|1.4.3534]] - Added more feedback to subcore scanners.
* [[Version/1.4.3555|1.4.3555]] - In the 'Completed scan' message sent when subcore scan is cancelled, changed 'cancel load' to 'cancel scan'. Fix: Ripscanning doesn't kill pawns if colonist instant death in difficulty settings is 0%. Subcore scanners: Added confirmation dialog when cancelling a scan that can kill the occupant.
* [[Version/1.4.3580|1.4.3580]] - Fix: Typo in colonist ripscanned thought description.
