Biosculpter pod
An immersive pod equipped with a biosculpting fluid injector and attached control system. It can perform a variety of biological alterations including age reversal and pleasure-giving. Each pod becomes biotuned to its user, and cannot be used by anyone else. Biotuning resets after 60 days. Believers in transhumanism believe biosculpter pods are of critical importance in their quest to transcend normal human physical limitations.

A Biosculpter pod is a new building added by the Ideology DLC. It's unlocked by researching Bioscuplting. It's very important to colonies with Transhumanist ideoligion, but other colonies can still build and use it.
Summary
It can perform three different operations on a colonist. After an operation, the pod becomes attuned to that colonist, forbidding usage by other colonists for 60 days. Each operation takes between 4 to 10 days to complete. The time to complete is affected by room cleanness and is further reduced by half for colonists with Transhumanist ideoligion. It also requires nutrients to complete a cycle, which needs to be loaded by colonists. It accepts things like human meat and kibble, without mood impact on colonists, but does not accept hay.
Healing costs 10 nutrients and takes 10 days to complete. It heals all fresh wounds and one random injury. It does not cure Alzheimer's, Frail, missing body parts, or diseases.
Age reversal costs 10 nutrients and takes 10 days to complete. It reverses one year of aging. Colonists with Transhumanist ideoligions are granted Received age reversal thought, which adds 3 mood for 4 days, but they will expect yearly treatments.
Pleasure costs 5 nutrients and takes 4 days to complete. It grants Biosculptor Pleasure Cycle thought, giving +10 mood for 12 days.
Room cleanliness increases the speed of the the biosculpting cycle, with cleaner rooms being faster.
In the case of power loss, the biosculpting will pause until power is restored or 24 hours pass without power, at which the biosculpting cycle will automatically be interrupted and the colonist will be ejected. They will get Biosculpting sickness temporarily.
Disease
A colonist inside the biosculpting pod will have the progression of any diseases stopped for the duration of the pod operation. The pod will not cure the disease or have any other effect on it.
Analysis
Age reversal is only important when a colonist is getting close to turning 50 years old biologically (the non-bracketed number listed for their age), or is already 50 or older. While you can do age reversal pre-emptively, it may be worthwhile to hold off unless the colonist has nothing to do for a while. Healing can be extremely valuable, especially for scars on the torso and head, which can't be replaced by bionics. Because of the 60 day delay before the pod can be used by another colonist, some colonies may find it effective to repeatedly biosculpt one colonist, giving them age reversal, all the healing they can accept, and a pleasure cycle all in a row. It can be very helpful to keep a pod with a healing cycle prepared, that isn't bound to any particular colonist. This can not only save on many medicine, but also save the life of a colonist that you might not otherwise have been able to treat in time.
