Acquisition

Constructing a hemopump requires Deathrest to be researched, 100 Steel, 4 Components, 5 Hemogen packs, and 5,000 ticks (1.39 mins) of work.

Summary

Active hemopumps require a pawn capable of deathrest, and must be connected to a deathrest casket. As a pawn deathrests, it consumes 100 W of power and ? hemogen packs per day. The hemopump increases the Hemogen need capacity by +25 until the next deathrest, assuming the deathrest is not interrupted.

Like other deathrest buildings, a hemopump permanently binds to a pawn once used, with no penalty for deconstruction. Deathresting pawns have their own seperate limit to the buildings they can connect to, which can be increased with a deathrest capacity serum.

Analysis

A hemopump will increase the amount of Hemogen a Hemogenic pawn can store, allowing more uses of their abilities before needing to bloodfeed or consume a hemogen pack. Most of these abilities are related to combat; whether this is useful compared to increasing move speed or decreasing deathrest time depends on playstyle, though the boost is fairly modest. While additional uses of abilities like Coagulate can be very useful, most of the time the other options are a larger priority. There is a niche use for long caravans, allowing pawns with Hemogen Drain to last more than 10 days without having to refill before penalties or before losing access to their abilities.

Hemopumps are one of the few deathrest buildings without a connection cap, so can be used if a pawn has a high building capacity and the other buildings have reached their caps.

As with all other deathrest machines, these cost a non-negligible amount of steel and components. Consider holding off on building them until you are more well established and are able to produce steel and components reliabily with deep drills and fabrication benches.
