Stat Modifiers
The neurotrainer mech serum is a rare item that will give a significant skill increase to the colonist using it. It is a one-time use and will disappear afterwards. Any neurotrainer is attuned to a specific skill and will increase this skill only.
Using the device gives 50,000 base experience, multiplied by the colonist's passion factor, effectively giving 35%, 100% or 150% XP depending on skill passion. The skill it will upgrade is listed as a prefix, e.g. "melee neurotrainer mech serum". It will have no effect on a colonist that is incapable of using that skill, but the item will still be used up.
A skill upgraded above level 10 is still subject to decay, as if the skill was learned in the natural way.
To use the device, select a colonist, right-click the neurotrainer, then click "Use neurotrainer". It is consumed upon use. The game will alert you of the fact that skill has been acquired with an on-screen message.
Traits like "Too smart" or "Fast learner" have no effect when using the neurotrainer.
The learning penalty from reaching the "soft cap" of 4000 XP per day is ignored. The neurotrainer applies the full gain even for colonists who have reached the XP cap for the day.
Obtaining
The item can be bought from traders, obtained as a quest reward and found in item stashes.
