The '''psytrainer''' is a rare item added by the [[Royalty (DLC)|Royalty DLC]] that will substantially increase a single, specific [[psycast]] of the colonist using the serum. It will then be used up and disappear. Each serum is attuned to one specific psycast and will provide that psycast only, which is given as part of the name, as in "Psytrainer (Beckon)". The psycast can not be chosen, it is a property of the item and chosen randomly when the item is generated by the game.

The psytrainer is a rare item added by the Royalty DLC that gives psycasts.

Acquisition

Psytrainers can be obtained from trade or quests. It is always a reward for The Deserter quest.

Summary

Psytrainers can be used to learn a specified psycast. After use, the psytrainer is consumed. Each psytrainer is attuned to one specific psycast, which cannot be changed.

In order to actually use the psycast, a pawn must have a psylink high enough to use it. For example, a pawn can only use Neuroquake, a level 6 psycast, at psylink level 6. [No psylink?]

The psytrainer can be used before they reach the required psylink; the psycast will be present, but unusable. This replaces the free, random psylink you would normally receive upon reaching that psylink level.

The market value depends on the level of the psycast; higher level psycasts are more valuable. This follows the equation of 100 + 150*Level.

  • Level Market value
    1 250 Silver
    2 400 Silver
    3 550 Silver
    4 700 Silver
    5 850 Silver
    6 1000 Silver

    • Analysis

    Many psylinks are very powerful tools. Psytrainers ensure that a pawn will have access to any psycast, eventually. Psytrainers are rare and somewhat expensive items.

    They can be good for wealth management. Psytrainers are consumed, and having a psycast will not increase colony wealth. Buying psytrainers will lower wealth, and the psycasts themselves can be very useful.

    It is recommended to use a psytrainer only when a pawn has enough level to use its psycast. If a psycaster uses a Neuroquake trainer before reaching level 6, they won't receive the free psycast from reaching level 6.
