Hemogen amplifiers increase the hemogen a pawn gain. However, using an amplifier means ''not'' using a [[glucosoid pump]] or [[deathrest accelerator]], at least until a pawn has enough building capacity. Since deathrest building capacity is limited for most stages of the game, you should use the latter buildings first, as they are generally more helpful. | Hemogen amplifiers increase the hemogen a pawn gain.

| − | As an alternative measure, you can increase hemogen gain by obtaining more colonists or [[prisoner]]s. Having more prisoners means having more hemogen available. Each prisoner provides {{#expr: 20 <!--Hemogen from 1 feed-->/(45/33)<!--Days to recover from blood loss from 1 feed--> round 1}} Hemogen per day ( | + | As an alternative measure, you can increase hemogen gain by obtaining more colonists or [[prisoner]]s.

This saves on the steel and components required to build the amplifier. This also lets you use other deathrest buildings, whose benefits you cannot replicate as easily. |
Amplifiers do have a niche: they are one of [[hemopump|two]] deathrest buildings that can be used without a maximum. Once you are using the maximum amount of glucosoid pumps, deathrest accelerators, and/or [[psychofluid pump]]s, you might as well build hemogen amplifiers. They reduce the amount of prisoners you need to sustain hemogenic pawns. | Amplifiers do have a niche: they are one of [[hemopump|two]] deathrest buildings that can be used without a maximum.

Hence, they can be left idle without consequence. | + | They also do not consume power or hemogen while idling, unlike their contemporaries such as [[sleep accelerator]]s.

If a pawn has [[hemogen drain]] in addition to hemogenic, the hemogen amplifier always saves on hemogen, regardless of ability use. Of course, using hemogenic abilities still increases the value of the amplifier. Note that [[sanguophages]] have hemogen drain by default. | If a pawn has [[hemogen drain]] in addition to hemogenic, the hemogen amplifier always saves on hemogen, regardless of ability use.
