Neural Harvest Matrix (Duplicant Harvesting Power Source)

Unlock a New Power Source with the Neural Harvest Matrix

In the unforgiving environment of Oxygen Not Included, securing a stable and potent power supply is paramount for your colony’s survival and expansion. Introducing the Neural Harvest Matrix, a revolutionary building that offers a unique, albeit ethically complex, solution to your energy needs. This advanced technological marvel taps into a Duplicant’s very essence to generate a substantial and consistent output of power.

The Cost of Power

The Neural Harvest Matrix is not a passive generator. It requires a significant initial investment and a permanent commitment from one of your Duplicants. To initiate its operation, you’ll need to supply 100kg of Visco-Gel through its input pipes. Once this prerequisite is met, a Duplicant can be assigned to the Matrix. This assignment is irreversible. The Duplicant will permanently integrate into the machine, sacrificing their existence for the collective good of the colony. While they may experience a moment of regret, their fate is sealed.

Functionality and Impact

Upon integration, the Duplicant is considered deceased by the colony. This triggers the mourning effect among your other Duplicants and removes the integrated individual from your available Duplicant count. Functionally, they become a living battery, their vital signs monitored to sustain power generation. The Matrix keeps them alive in a vegetative state, but they are no longer an active member of your colony. Once integrated, retrieval is impossible. Should you choose to deconstruct the Neural Harvest Matrix after a Duplicant has been integrated, the building’s materials will be refunded, but the deceased Duplicant will be dropped on the floor.

Key Features of the Neural Harvest Matrix:

• Provides a consistent 1,000W of power.
• Requires an initial 100kg of piped Visco-Gel.
• Permanently integrates one Duplicant.
• Integrated Duplicants are removed from the colony count and trigger mourning.
• Deconstruction refunds materials and drops the integrated Duplicant.

The Neural Harvest Matrix presents a dark but powerful option for those seeking an unparalleled energy solution in Oxygen Not Included. Weigh the costs carefully, for this is a decision that will forever alter your colony’s dynamics.
