The Neurocalculator is an artificial body part added by the Royalty DLC that gives an implanted pawn a bonus of +20% Research Speed, while also making them vulnerable to brain shock.
Acquisition[edit]
Neurocalculators can be crafted at a fabrication bench once the neural computation research project has been completed. Note that this research requires a techprint. Each requires 15 Plasteel, 4 Advanced components, 26,000 ticks (7.22 mins) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter, and a crafting skill of 8.

+20% Research Speed
When a pawn with this implant is shocked with EMP they will receive brain shock, knocking them unconscious temporarily.
Installation[edit]
Installing the part requires 2,500 ticks (41.67 secs) of work, 2x medicine of herbal quality or better, and a Medical skill of 5.
Removing the part requires 2,500 ticks (41.67 secs) of work, 1x medicine of herbal quality or better, and a Medical skill of 5.
If the operation fails, the part will be destroyed.
Analysis[edit]
This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: General. Value proposition/rush/prioritization/comparison to other alternatives/. |
The neurocalculator's main benefits are the 20% bonus research speed bonus and the mood buff that transhumanists receive. Due to this, it should only be installed on colonists that conduct research or use the ground-penetrating or long-range mineral scanner. It has no effect on hacking speed.
The brain shock effect can either be a negative or a positive. A melee pawn that is sensitive to EMP is significantly less useful as a melee blocker or way to lock down mechanoids, and significantly more likely to die. Meanwhile, a painstopped pawn or a slave that is sensitive to EMP has a way to reliably down them with no risk of death.
It is advised only colonists with high medical skills install the part as a failed surgery can lead to severe brain scarring and a near inoperable colonist post-surgery.
