Power Recirculator is a torso augmentation in Deus Ex. It is a nanotechnological augmentation that decreases the total energy usage of all active augmentations.
This augmentation is installed from the augmentation canister that also includes Synthetic Heart. Since there is only one copy of this canister, Power Recirculator and Synthetic Heart are mutually exclusive options.
Description[]
Power consumption for all augmentations is reduced by polianilene circuits, plugged directly into cell membranes, that allow nanite particles to interconnect electronically without leaving their host cells.
- Tech one: Power drain of augmentations is reduced slightly.
- Tech two: Power drain of augmentations is reduced moderately.
- Tech three: Power drain of augmentations is reduced.
- Tech four: Power drain of augmentations is reduced significantly.
Effects[]
When activated, the recirculator reduces the total power drain of all active augmentations, including its own power drain.
| Tier | Energy Usage Reduction |
|---|---|
| Tech 1 | Power drain of augmentations is reduced by 10% |
| Tech 2 | Power drain of augmentations is reduced by 20% |
| Tech 3 | Power drain of augmentations is reduced by 40% |
| Tech 4 | Power drain of augmentations is reduced by 60% |
The recirculator itself has a base power drain of 10 Units/Minute. This base value is also reduced along with the power drain of all other active augmentations.
| Tier | Self Power Drain (after reduction) |
|---|---|
| Tech 1 | 9 Units/Minute |
| Tech 2 | 8 Units/Minute |
| Tech 3 | 6 Units/Minute |
| Tech 4 | 4 Units/Minute |
Break-even power consumption[]
Since the recirculator itself has an energy consumption, use of the circulator is efficient only when the total energy consumption of other augs exceeds the break-even threshold listed below.[1] For a list of energy consumption rates, please see the article on bioelectric energy.
| Tier | Break-even threshold |
|---|---|
| Tech 1 | 90 units/min |
| Tech 2 | 40 units/min |
| Tech 3 | 15 units/min |
| Tech 4 | 6.67 units/min |
Canister locations[]
- Hong Kong VersaLife facility, Level 2 Labs (6th Mission) – In the Universal Constructor chamber in Versalife's Level 2 Labs. This is the sole instance of the canister in the game.
