A reserve of biological strength which can be gained and spent in a variety of ways. Hemogen can be increased by bloodfeeding from a human or consuming hemogen packs. You can obtain hemogen packs using the 'extract hemogen pack' medical operation on a non-hemogenic human. If hemogen reaches zero, [they] will become very unhappy.
— Hemogen description
Hemogen is a measure of the need and reserves of hemogenic pawns to fuel their bodies and abilities.
Hemogen total
Decay
Pawns with the hemogenic gene decay at -2 per day Pawns with the hemogen drain decay at an addition -8 per day, for a total of -10 per day.

Hemogen craving
Due to a lack of hemogen, this person's body is breaking down hemogen reserves in their bone marrow. This causes disorientation and a painful craving for human blood.
— Description
When a hemogenic pawns hemogen reserves hit 0, they begin having a craving for hemogen. This craving inflicts increasingly severe mood, pain, and consciousness penalties. Once hemogen is over 0, the severity of the craving gradually decays until it disappears.
While a pawn hemogen value is 0, their hemogen craving severity at a rate of +5% per hour. It is currently unknown when this severity increase occurs.[Detail]
So long as hemogen is above 0, hemogen craving severity reduces at a rate of −10% per hour. Hemogen craving does not accelerate hemogen decay like malnutrition does for saturation.
| Label | Severity | Time from 0 Hemogen | Time to 0% Severity (Upper) |
Mood | Pain | Consciousness |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor | >0% and ≤34% | 0 ticks (0 in-game hours) | 8,750 ticks (3.5 in-game hours) | −10 | − 5% | 90% Max |
| Moderate | ≥35% and ≤69% | 17,500 ticks (7 in-game hours) | 17,500 ticks (7 in-game hours) | −15 | −10% | 80% Max |
| Major | ≥70% and ≤100% | 35,000 ticks (14 in-game hours) | 50,000 ticks (20 in-game hours) | −20 | −15% | 50% Max |
Note: Mood penalty does not include the penalty from pain.
