Psychic supressors are mechanoid cluster and quest condition causers added by the Royalty DLC. They reduce the Consciousness of all humans of a gender in a 10 world-tile radius.
Summary
A psychic suppressor sets a maximum Consciousness limit to humans of a specific gender, which is scaled by the individual's Psychic Sensitivity. At 100% sensitivity, their Consciousness will have a maximum of 50%. At 0% sensitivity, Consciousness will have a maximum of 100%, preventing any boosts beyond normal consciousness.
Consciousness, in turn, affects a wide variety of stats. It directly impacts Manipulation, Moving, Talking Eating, which each have an impact on almost anything a pawn can do. See each page for more details.
Analysis
Psychic suppressors are massive threats if they affect multiple important pawns at once. A baseline pawn will move 50% slower, do most work 50% slower, and will be much less effective in combat. Reduced Consciousness makes it easier to down or kill any affected pawn.
Preferably, use unaffected pawns to take out suppressors. Suppressed pawns can still be useful for support via EMP grenades or smoke launchers. Both weapons are unaffected by the loss in Consciousness; Aiming Time remains the same, while reduced accuracy is irrelevant due to how the weapon mechanics work. However, they will still be vulnerable to combat.
If the condition causer has spawned inside your colony, then you can use mortars to shell it for a distance. Just watch out for mech high-shields.
