Hemogen packs are a type of food added by the Biotech DLC. It acts as a form of blood that can be used for blood transfusions, or consumed those with the Hemogenic gene to restore their Hemogen need.

Acquisition

Hemogen packs can be extracted from non-hemogenic humans with the Extract Hemogen Pack operation. This takes 500 ticks (8.33 secs) of work and increases their blood loss by 45%; if blood loss exceeds 100%, then the pawn will die. This operation is considered a violation for faction relations. Unlike most other operations, it does not consume medicine or anesthetise the subject. It does still provide Medical experience however.

Summary

Hemogen is a packaged form of blood that can be extracted and implanted to alter a human pawn's blood loss.

Any pawn can consume one for a measily 0.1 nutrition. Those without either a Hemogen need, the Cannibal trait, or a pro-Cannibalism ideoligion get a −5 Injested hemogen pack moodlet. This moodlet lasts 5 days and stacks up to 5 times. Consuming a pack in this way will not restore any blood loss

When consumed by Hemogenic pawns, each pack also satisfies the Hemogen need by +20. This is worth 2 days of blood for pawns with the Hemogen drain gene, including Sanguophages, and 10 days for those who just have Hemogenic.

Hemogen packs do not rot, only deteriorate by being left outdoors or in otherwise rough conditions.

Blood transfusion

Use hemogen packs to reduce the effects of blood loss. Each hemogen pack used recovers 35% blood loss. The operation will also restore hemogen to hemogenic individuals.
— Operation description

Hemogen packs can be used to perform the "blood transfusion" operation, which restores a pawn's blood loss. The operation consumes 1 hemogen pack, takes 800 ticks (13.33 secs) of work, and restores 35% blood loss. This surgery does not require medicine or a minimum Medical skill, does not anesthetise the subject, and always succeeds.

Note that the 35% blood loss recovered is less than the 45% lost from creating the pack in the first place.

Analysis

?

Extracting hemogen from a prisoner lowers faction reputation by 1, although Bloodfeeding does not damage reputation.
