Neural supercharger
A neuron-sensitizing device that can deliver one neural supercharge each day. A person with a neural supercharge will think and learn faster, but will also consume more food. The effect wears off in one day. Neural superchargers consume a lot of electricity.

The Neural supercharger is a misc building added by the Ideology DLC. It allows pawns to supercharge their brain once per day, at the cost of consuming power and the pawn consuming extra food.
Acquisition
Neural superchargers can be constructed once the Neural supercharger research project has been completed. They require 50 Steel, 4 Components and 6,000 ticks (1.67 mins) of work. Neural superchargers can only be constructed by colonist with an Ideoligion containing the Transhumanist meme.
Summary
| This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: General. Also: What happens if loses power, what options are there for control, who can and will automatically use the supercharger etc. |
An externally-induced increase in sensitivity and synchronicity of neurons. This boosts consciousness and learning rate at the cost of increased hunger.
— Neural supercharge definition
Once connected to power, the neural supercharger will begin to charge. It needs to be charged for 60,000 ticks (16.67 mins) or 24 in-game hours. After being charged, a colonist can use the device, granting them the Neural Supercharge hediff for 60,000 ticks (16.67 mins) or 24 in-game hours, with the following effects:
- +10% Consciousness
- +25% Global Learning Factor
- +20% Hunger Rate Factor
Note that both the charge time and hediff duration is the same - thus a single supercharger can keep a single pawn almost permanently supercharged, minus travel time.
Analysis
In colonies with plenty of food and a surplus of power, the supercharger is an easy way to increase the efficiency of a pawn, allowing them to build and craft more than normal. For colonies without the Transhumanist meme, a person who follows an ideoligion with the meme can be recruited and can build it. It could be a decent way to treat brain-damaged pawns before you researched bioregeneration
