Acquisition

Constructing a hemogen amplifier requires Deathrest to be researched, 200 Steel, 4 Components, 5 Hemogen packs, and 5,000 ticks (1.39 mins) of work.

Summary

Active hemogen amplifiers require a pawn capable of deathrest, like a Sanguophage, and must be connected to a deathrest casket. Each hemogen amplifier consumes 100W of power and 0.5 hemogen pack per day as long a pawn is deathresting in an attached casket. It can hold up to 5 packs at a time, for a maximum run time of 10 days, and is constructed fully fueled. The pump will be automatically refueled by a haulers so long as auto-refueling is enabled.

The hemogen amplifier increases Hemogen gain by +25% from any source, assuming deathrest isn't interrupted. This reduces the need to drink blood as frequently.

Like other deathrest buildings, an amplifier permanently binds to a pawn once used, with no penalty for deconstruction. Deathresting pawns have their own separate limit to the buildings they can connect to, which can be increased with a deathrest capacity serum.

Analysis

Hemogen amplifiers should be weighed against simply obtaining more colonists or prisoners and the opportunity cost of not using a glucosoid pump or deathrest accelerator. Deathrest building capacity is very limited in most stages of the game, and either building is usually more useful than the amplifier. However, amplifiers are one of the few deathrest buildings that does not have its own limit, making them useful once you have enough of the other buildings.

They also do not consume power while idling, unlike their contemporaries such as sleep accelerators. Hence, they can be left idle without consequence.
