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, and can be extracted and implanted to alter a human pawn's blood loss aliment.
When consumed by Hemogenic pawns, each pack 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.
In addition, 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 stacking −5 Injested hemogen pack moodlet. For non-Hemogenic pawns, consuming a pack will not restore any blood.
Hemogen packs do not rot, only deteriorate by being left outdoors or in otherwise rough conditions.
Blood transfusion
 | This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: 1) How much hemogen does it restore to hemogenics and is that reduced if they also have blood loss? 2) Occasionally see them perform the surgery with 2 packs. Incorrect description? Bug? Restoring 70% bloodloss in one operation?. |
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
| This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: General analysis for transfusions, storage for bloodfeeders, and medical training. But also how does consuming blood with Bloodfeed compare to extracting and eating the pack re blood loss of the target/hemogen gained?. |
?
Extracting hemogen from a prisoner lowers faction reputation by 1, although Bloodfeeding does not damage reputation.
