Explanation[edit]
A psycaster's neural heat limit is the primary limitation to how many psycasts they can perform in a given period of time. Each psycast gives the caster a certain amount of neural heat. As long as a pawn stays within their neural heat limit, they'll suffer no ill effects. By default, a pawn will not use a psycast if the neural heat gain would cause them to exceed their limit. This will be represented by the psycast's icon being greyed out on the UI. A pawn can be instructed to ignore their normal heat limit by clicking on the "Neural Heat Limiter", but exceeding the limit can cause psychic breakdown.
The neural heat limit is affected by both the psycaster's psychic sensitivity and psylink level. A pawn with a level 1 Psylink and 100% psychic sensitivity will have a neural heat limit of 30.
The equation for a pawn's neural heat limit is:
Neural Heat Limit = 30 × Psychic Sensitivity × (2/3 + (1/3 × Psylink level) )
or simpler:
Neural Heat Limit = (2 + Psylink level) × 10 × Psychic Sensitivity
Assuming 100% psychic sensitivity, this in the following:
Psylink Level |
Neural Heat Limit |
---|---|
1 | 30 |
2 | 40 |
3 | 50 |
4 | 60 |
5 | 70 |
6 | 80 |
Here is the neural heat limit (rounded to the nearest tenth) at various levels of psychic sensitivity:
Psylink Level | Psychic Sensitivity | ||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
0% | 25% | 50% | 75% | 100% | 125% | 150% | 175% | 200% | 225% | 250% | 275% | 300% | |
1 (×100%) | 0 | 7.5 | 15 | 22.5 | 30 | 37.5 | 45 | 52.5 | 60 | 67.5 | 75 | 82.5 | 90 |

4 (×200%) | 0 | 15 | 30 | 45 | 60 | 75 | 90 | 105 | 120 | 135 | 150 | 165 | 180 |
5 (×233.34%) | 0 | 17.5 | 35 | 52.5 | 70 | 87.5 | 105 | 122.5 | 140 | 157.5 | 175 | 192.5 | 210 |
6 (×266.67%) | 0 | 20 | 40 | 60 | 80 | 100 | 120 | 140 | 160 | 180 | 200 | 220 | 240 |
The in-game meter for neural heat is rounded to the nearest integer, but in-game behavior suggests that the actual decimal value of heat is tracked by the game, as psycasts may sometimes say they have insufficient heat limit to cast even when the spare heat displayed on the pawn's neural heat meter exactly equals the casting cost.
