Can't build sleep accelerator

[Jaggid Edje]

I just finished microelectric research, and it said it unlocks "sleep accelerator" but it's not in any of my architect build menus. I checked the wiki and it doesn't list any kind of other requirements.

Am I missing something? Is it specific to certain Meme's or some such?

I believe it's exclusive to the Transhumanist meme. Could be wrong though. I know I only was able to build it once some peeps with that meme joined (including the supercharger which they want).

I figured it is locked by something like that but I couldn't find info stating that on the wiki, which I thought was weird. I also did a google search but there's enough online about the pod that finding what I want didn't happen.

Thanks for your response!

I'm okay without them anyway...I hear they are real power hogs.

That and increase hunger rate AFAIK. But they need less sleep in turn, so. It's a trade-off worth considering.

Note that even if none of the random or custom Ideologies you set up at the start of the game have Transhumanism as a meme, there is still a way to get sleep accelerators - even without Royalty - as all Ancients retrieved from cryptosleep caskets (hostile and benign alike) have an Ideology which uses that meme. Recruit one of them and they can build or reinstall the accelerators.

Not only must you have a transhumanist but he also must have the required skill to construct it.

It occurred to me that i have fluid ideology on and could add what I needed on my next reformation.

If I add it to build a few, then remove it later, do the ones that are built still function?

They should.

I guess I'll find out if I decide to do it.

I just reformed and added the Tree Connection meme though, so I will be pretty busy just getting people set with trees.
I had 6 already planted, but unbound, and I'm going to set the the 3 best Plant skill people to do the dryads that can spawn more seeds....for everyone who wants a tree I'll need 18 of them....so I think it's going to take a while.
