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

Acquisition[edit]

Psytrainers can be obtained from trade or quests.

Summary[edit]

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.

The psytrainer can be used before they have the psylink level to actually use the psycast. In this case, a pawn will not receive the random psylink upon reaching the level; a level 5 pawn with Neuroquake will not receive another psycast upon reaching level 6. Pawns with no psylink cannot use psytrainers.

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[edit]

    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.
