RimWorld Psychic Modifiers
You aren’t limited to just traits and Psychic Amplifiers to change a colonist’s Psychic Sensitivity and Entropy Recovery Rate. There is equipment available that can enhance them!
The psyfocus apparel listed here cannot be manufactured and must be traded for.
Here are the different items that a psycaster can benefit from:
Psychic Sensitizer (Brain Implant)
- Sensitivity +0.25
- Base Market Value 1,200
I consider this implant a must-have for all your psycasters. That slight bump you would get to your Psychic Entropy Limit could mean you can get one more chance to use an ability.
Also get a slightly longer duration for ALL effects. It’s also one of the cheaper brain implants and the benefits are well worth the silver.
Psyfocus Helmet
- Sensitivity +0.15
- Entropy Recovery Rate +2
- Base Market Value 500
It offers slightly more protection than a simple helmet and is effective at shedding that nasty entropy.
Psyfocus Shirt
- Sensitivity +0.1
- Entropy Recovery Rate +1
- Base Market Value 400
Another must-have for each of your psycasters. It may look like it doesn’t give as much of a bonus as other psyfocus gear, but it can be worn with ALL kinds of armor, including the coveted Marine Armor or the new Cataphract Armor!
Psyfocus Vest
- Sensitivity +0.15
- Entropy Recovery Rate +1.5
- Base Market Value 500
Not as good as other psyfocus gear, since it takes up the slot for a flak vest, and cant be worn with Marine Armor. If you are like me, you would have everyone wearing a flak vest to protect against any damage they may take.
Psyfocus Robe
- Sensitivity +0.2
- Entropy Recovery Rate +2.5
- Base Market Value 600
It fits comfortably over your flak vest and it provides better heat and cold insulation than a basic parka or duster. If you aren’t fitting your psycaster in heavy armor, it is the best choice of apparel. It also offers the best sensitivity and recovery rate of all the other apparel (but you can see that by the numbers).
Psyfocus Staff
- Sensitivity +0.5
- Entropy Recovery Rate +2.5
- Base Market Value 1,000
This “weapon” offers the best sensitivity and recovery rates available in an item. It also deals less damage than any club, making it the worst weapon. Give this to your psychic wizard who will be away from the front lines.
Psychic Foil Helmet
- Sensitivity -0.9
Just… No. Giving this to your psycaster will effectively neuter them. The only reasonable use of this is to protect your psycaster from an extreme psychic drone, but why would you let it get that bad??
Psychic Silencer (Implant)
- Slight Pain (0.2)
- Makes the Psycaster Undetectable
You little rebel, you. You are feeling naughty and want to use powers and tools without permission from the Empire? Give your psycaster one of these babies. This will keep your secrets safe, and therefore keep the Empire from kicking down your door.
Every time you use an unauthorized ability un-silenced there is a chance for the psycaster’s psychic signature to be picked up by the Empire. If that happens you will be declared an enemy of the Empire, who will then begin sending crusades against you to cleanse your heretic filth from the galaxy.
