Bioregeneration does not cure neural degradation (dementia)?

[Darzai]

I researched it and my pawn that sometimes suffers from dementia, doesn't get cured from a bioregeneration cycle. But description says 'and cures many of the physical maladies that come with old age'.

I never tried this before last update that changed biosculpter pod, so I don't know if this is a bug or not. The description is a bit vague because of the word 'many of the physical maladies' , so what can I expect from this option for the biosculpter?

Physical ailments, not mental. So "Frail, Cataracts, Bad back, Asthma, Hearing loss, and Artery blockages".

Can also heal "scars including brain scars".

I know the dementia state is mental, but it is caused by a physical degeneration of the brain in the game ( the game describes it like that). But fair enough, guess I have to get a healing serum then. Just wanted to know for sure.

Learned this same thing yesterday.....my pawn with dimentia is the first one i put in the pod after having researched and built one. So sad he wasn't cured.

It also doesn't fix a "destroyed" stomach. *sigh* Gotta research and build a bionic one I guess.

The only thing it does, really, is give transhumanists a reason tom complain.

After I've lost my first pawn for several days during age reversal I've decided to never use it again, so I just finished 2 colonies (moving to the third right now, for the new ending) enduring a -10 mood on everyone.

Beats having to use that piece of junk.
If times were reduced by 90% I still probably wouldn't use it, no way I'm losing a pawn an entire day, just give him more drugs.

What is the max time bonus you can get btw with transhumanist for the pods? So far I only found cleanliness being a factor for extra bonus and which I can get up to 122% from cleanliness stat. So together with transhumanist, age reversal is about 4 days. What is the shortest time possible?

I like the pods. Being able to get rid of torso and brain scars is great. Also the age reversal demand is a small price to pay for the amount of mood bonus you can get from transhumanist. Not all pawns ask for it anyway.

If your dementia is from toxic build up you can cure it with the circadian brain implant.
