{{Stub|section=1|reason=Ideology mechanics relating to it? Does tuning tick down while the pod is minified and/or unpowered? Operating colors? Is cleanliness to speed multiplier linear between (0,100%) and (0.6, 115%) and if so is it linear when dirty? Who can be placed in a pod and how - downed raiders (if so what happens when they come out), prisoners, slaves, do they need to be downed first etc? }}

Biosculpter pods can perform four different operations on a pawn, however some mechanics are consistent across all options. All cycles consume 5 non-[[hay]] [[nutrition]], which must be loaded by [[Work#Haul|haulers]] prior to selecting and starting a cycle. The pod will glow green when sufficient nutrition has been loaded. Canceling the cycle before it has started won't consume the stored nutrition, but the food cannot be retrieved once loaded. Nutrition is reset if the pod is reinstalled. Foods that inflict a negative moodlet when eaten, such as [[raw food]], [[human meat]], or [[kibble]], can be used without penalty by any occupant regardless of their dietary requirements. Additional cycle ingredients will be retrieved by the pawn initiating the cycle.

Pawns can load themselves into a pod, either by selecting the pawn and using the right-click menu to select a cycle, or automatically for age reversal cycles with the toggle activated. Pawns can load other pawns into the pod.{{Check Tag|Detail|How, what work type (if any) etc.}}

Pawns inside a pod are suspended as if in [[cryptosleep]]; for example, [[disease]] progression is frozen for the duration of the cycle. Drug highs and tolerances do not decay while in a pod, but the time for scheduled use still progresses. Thus, a pawn may take a dose, get in a pod, have the timer to their next dose tick down, and then take a second scheduled dose while still under the effects of the first. This can turn otherwise safe or low risk drug schedules into dangerous ones and runs the risk of addictions. [[Food poisoning]] and [[toxic buildup]] similarly do not progress while in the pod.  

 

 

 

=== Time ===

Each operation takes between 4 to 25 [[Time|days]] to complete, before modifiers. The base values{{Check Tag|Cleanliness?|Does the tooltip account for current pod room cleanliness?}} for both normal and transhumanist pawns can be seen by mousing over the cycle's gizmo. They will also be displayed when selecting a cycle from the right click menu.{{Check Tag|Per pawn?|Does this time display for the currently selected pawn i.e. if a transhumanist will it show the reduced time?}} The final time is affected by the following modifiers:

* Pawns with the [[Ideoligion#Biosculpting|Biosculpting: Accelerated]] precept will have the time for each cycle halved. Note that this precept is mandatory for [[Ideoligion#Transhumanist|Transhumanist]]s and is unique to them.

=== Cycles ===

 

==== Medic ====

'''Medic''' takes 6 days to complete. It heals all fresh wounds, [[blood loss]] and one random [[disease]].

 

==== Bioregeneration ====

'''Bioregeneration''' takes 25 days to complete, and additionally costs {{Icon Small|Glitterworld medicine}} 2 [[glitterworld medicine]]. The [[Research#Bioregeneration|Bioregeneration]] research project must be completed before it can be used. It heals all fresh wounds, one random permanent injury, and restores destroyed or missing minor body parts.  

It can heal one of the following permanent injuries: scars (including brain scars),  [[Frail]], [[Cataract]]s, [[Blindness]], [[Bad back]], [[Asthma]], [[Hearing loss]], and [[Artery blockage]]s.{{Check Tag|Sometimes multiple scars?|Very anecdotal evidence suggests that it can heal multiple scars in one cycle if those scars are on body parts that it can regenerate an unlimited amount of (like eyes). If true, will it also fix one scar on a major body part in addition?}}

It will restore all of the following body parts: Eye, Ear, Nose, Finger, Toe, and Tongue. It will not heal missing eyes that have been replaced by an [[Artificial body parts#Eyes|artificial part]], or if the pawn's [[ideoligion]] approves of blindness.

It does '''not''' heal: [[Alzheimer's]], [[Dementia]], [[Toxic buildup]], [[Carcinoma]], [[Chemical damage]], [[Trauma savant]],{{Check Tag|Verify}} missing major body parts (like arms, legs, jaw and lungs), [[Luciferium]] need, addictions, [[diseases]] or any types of fertility procedures.

 

==== Age reversal ====

'''Age reversal''' takes 8 days to complete. It reverses one year of aging, to a minimum colonist age of 13.  

Colonists with [[Transhumanist]] ideoligions are granted '''Received age reversal''' thought, which adds {{+|3}} mood for 4 days, but they will expect yearly treatments after the age of 25 and experience a gradually increasing {{--|4/−7/−10}} mood penalty without them. Additionally, they can be instructed to automatically receive their yearly age reversal cycle by enabling the “Auto age reverse” toggle on a biotuned pod.

==== Pleasure ====

[[File:Tiny biosculpter room.png|thumb|left|150px|A biosculpter "mini-room" with the door built over the interaction point]]

If the door is built over the interaction spot, the smallest possible room size that can contain a single biosculpter is a mere 6 tiles. This is perfect for pods reserved for emergency situations, or for a smaller colony as it saves space, cleaning time, and construction resources- the pattern can be repeated by placing pods side-by-side with one door per pod.

As a room's [[cleanliness]] stat affects the sculptor's speed, the room's smaller size also makes it cheaper to tile the entire room with [[sterile tile]]s. It is important to note that the game does not consider the flooring material underneath a door for a room's cleanliness, but it does consider any dirt or debris in the doorway: a Sterile Tile under the doorway is not needed, but the doorway should still be kept clean for maximum efficiency. You can even leave the door open for faster travel, at risk of allowing raiders easy access to your expensive machinery.

As a bonus, the pawn will be unconscious during biosculpting, so the small room space will have no mood effect.

For regular ideoligions, age reversal is only important when a colonist is getting close to turning 50 years old biologically (the non-bracketed number listed for their age), or is already 50 or older. While you can do age reversal pre-emptively, it may be worthwhile to hold off unless the colonist has nothing to do for a while. The chance to perform [[Lovin]]' is highest between the ages of 16 to 25, with a pawn only 63% as likely to engage in it at age 50, and 20% as likely at age 80. The [[Mood#Social|Lovin' mood boost]] can be significant, especially when combined with a [[love enhancer]].{{RoyaltyIcon}}

The pleasure cycle is the shortest cycle, taking only 4 days when untuned, but still biotunes the pod. Meanwhile tuning reduces the length of the bioregeneration cycle from 25 days to 18.75, or a 6.25 day reduction. Therefore, ''if the pod is untuned'', it is 2.25 days faster to use the pleasure cycle and then a bioregeneration cycle, than it is to perform bioregeneration cycle alone.  

 

As all the biosculpting time reductions are multiplicative, this combination is always faster when using an untuned pod, however the quantitative difference may shrink. For example, the combination only saves transhumanists in a sterile room 0.98 days instead of 2.25.

* [[Version/1.3.3087|1.3.3087]] - Biosculpter timers reset after archonexus resettlement.

* [[Version/1.3.3117|1.3.3117]] - Bioregeneration cycle now requires 2 glitterworld medicine. Integrated artwork for bioregeneration cycle gizmo, previously it used the healing cycle artwork. Pawns no longer get diseases while in the pod. Conditions that will be or can be healed by a cycle now listed in confirmation dialog. We now warn the player if they are trying to put a pawn in a regeneration or medic cycle that would not heal any conditions.

** Construct cost {{Icon Small|component}} 3 components -> {{Icon Small|component}} 4 components.
