Hemogen amplifier
This device leaves a deathrester in a hemogen-amplified state so they gain more hemogen from any hemogen source. Using a gland probe and blood analyzer, it links with a deathresting person, stimulating hemogen glands into a more active state. It must be connected to a deathrest casket to function. This building needs to consume hemogen to function.

Acquisition
Constructing a hemogen amplifier requires Deathrest to be researched, 200 Steel, 4 Components, 5 Hemogen packs, and 5,000 ticks (1.39 mins) of work.
Summary
Active hemogen amplifiers require a pawn capable of deathrest, such as a sanguophage, 100 W of power, and ? hemogen packs per day. It must be connected to a deathrest casket to function. The hemogen amplifier increases Hemogen gain by +25% from any source, reducing the need to drink blood as frequently.
Like other deathrest buildings, an amplifier permanently binds to a pawn once used, with no penalty for deconstruction. Deathresting pawns have their own seperate limit to the buildings they can connect to, which can be increased with a deathrest capacity serum.
Analysis
Hemogen amplifiers should be weighed against obtaining more colonists or prisoners and the opportunity cost of not using a glucosoid pump or deathrest accelerator, as deathrest building capacity is very limited for most stages of the game.
However, amplifiers are one of the few deathrest buildings that do not have its own limit. Each building's boost is comparatively small (+5 Hemogen / source / building), but they can stack over and over.
As with all other deathrest machines, these cost a non-negligble amount of steel and components. Consider holding off on building them until you are more well established and are able to produce steel and components reliabily with deep drills and fabrication benches.
They also do not consume power while idling, unlike their contemporaries such as sleep accelerators. Hence, they can be left idle without consequence.
