The Neurocalculator is an artificial body part added by the Royalty DLC that gives an implanted pawn a bonus of +20% Research Speed, while also making them vulnerable to brain shock.

Acquisition[edit]

Neurocalculators can be crafted at a fabrication bench once the neural computation research project has been completed. Note that this research requires a techprint. Each requires Plasteel 15 Plasteel, Advanced component 4 Advanced components, 26,000 ticks (7.22 mins) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter, and a crafting skill of 8.

+20% Research Speed

When a pawn with this implant is shocked with EMP they will receive brain shock, knocking them unconscious temporarily.

Installation[edit]

Installing the part requires 2,500 ticks (41.67 secs) of work, 2x medicine of herbal quality or better, and a Medical skill of 5.

Removing the part requires 2,500 ticks (41.67 secs) of work, 1x medicine of herbal quality or better, and a Medical skill of 5.

The neurocalculator's main 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 significantly 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.
