Love enhancer

Humans have always tried to use every new technology to enhance sexual satisfaction. Bionics were no exception. This implant makes physical and chemical changes to the body which enhance the experience of lovin' for both partners - both physically and psychologically. The implant unit can adapt to enhance both men and women upon being implanted.

Analysis

As only one enhancer per couple is required, it can be beneficial to pick a single gender of colonist to give enhancers to so that as couples change over time, there is never a redundant doubling of enhancers outside of the occasional gay couple. For such couples, a pattern-breaking installation or removal can ensure efficiency or the loss of an enhancer or the additional mood buff can just be accepted.

The love enhancer costs the same of resources as a bionic arm or bionic leg. A small mood increase is not typically worth the material cost, as mid/late-game colonies often have better ways of increasing mood (fine / lavish meals, drugs, making rooms more impressive).
