Solar pinhole
Generate a microscopic skipgate linked to the core of a nearby star. Solar material leaks through the pinprick in spacetime, illuminating and warming the surrounding area until it closes. The light is enough to work by, but not enough to grow plants.
Base Stats
- Type
- Psycast
Ability
Solar pinhole is a level 1 psycast that creates a source of light and heat for 5 days.
Acquisition[edit]
There are two ways to acquire the psycast Solar pinhole:
- Upon reaching psylink level 1, a random psycast of level 1 is granted regardless of how this level up is achieved. This won't apply if the psycaster already knew one or more level 1 psycast.
- Solar pinhole can also be acquired from a psytrainer naming it. See the psytrainer page for further details.
Summary[edit]
Analysis[edit]
 | This section is suggested to be rewritten. Reason: Currently just a Copy-paste of minor tactics previously on Psycasts - needs verification, rewriting, formatting, and expansion. You can help the RimWorld Wiki by improving it. |
Solar pinhole can be used to warm rooms during a cold snap if you don't have enough heaters. Since solar pinholes are relatively inexpensive psyfocus-wise, multiple can be cast if needed.
Use it when mining deep underground to avoid the darkness work speed penalty without having to build long, temporary, and/or redundant infrastructure.
Also good for icesheet or other places where heat and light are hard to fuel pre-electricity. Getting lucky with the right random psycast can lessen a colony's dependence on geysers and allow more rapid and/or flexible expansion.
Very useful to deal with the threat of unnatural darkness,
to the extent that emergency go-juice doses should be considered if psyfocus is low.
