Acquisition

Constructing a psychofluid pump requires Deathrest to be researched, Steel 50 Steel, Plasteel 100 Plasteel, Component 6 Components, Hemogen pack 5 Hemogen packs, and 4,000 ticks (1.11 mins) of work.

Summary

When connected to a deathrest casket, psychofluid pumps grant 1 stack of Psychofluid Rush after a pawn wakes from deathrest. Up to 4 pumps can be connected at a time.

Psychofluid Rush "Psychic sensitivity is enhanced because this person used a psychofluid pump while deathresting. This effect lasts until the next deathrest."

This effect stacks additively for each psychofluid pump connected.

Like other deathrest buildings, a psychofluid pump 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

The main purpose of a psychofluid pump is to increase the potency of psycastingContent added by the Royalty DLC. Without the Royalty DLC or a psysense-using mod installed, the uses for a psychofluid pump are rather limited.

As with all other deathrest machines, these cost a non-negligble 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. The psychofluid pump also requires plasteel, making it one of the more expensive deathresting machines.

They also do not consume power while idling, unlike their contemporaries such as sleep accelerators. Hence, they can be left idle without consequence.
