Summary

Analysis

Effects

A detoxifier stomach improves a pawn's metabolism by 25%. This, in turn, slightly improves the rest rate multiplier by about 8%, meaning the colonist will require less sleep. The detoxifier stomach is a cheaper way to reduce time sleeping than upgrading to a royal bed, however both can be combined.

Installing a stomach can be used to instantly treat gut worms as the new stomach replaces the diseased part. With it installed, further infections are also prevented.

A detoxifier stomach grants full immunity to food poisoning.

Eating speed is unaffected.

Unlike the bionic stomach, EMPing a pawn with a detoxifier stomach will force them to vomit. While EMP-wielding enemies are relatively rare, friendly fire is a relevant concern on melee pawns as using EMP grenades and melee attackers on Centipedes is a common and successful tactic. Having a detoxifier stomach on those melee pawns will result in them vomiting and negatively affecting this tactic and others like it.
