Night vision works much like night-vision goggles, granting a toggleable ability to see into dark areas in a 40-tile radius. This will also cause everything to appear green-colored, unless the "disable full-screen color effects" option is set.

Advantages & Disadvantages

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

Advantages

• Frees up a hand slot which would be taken up by a torch or glowsphere in the early game.
• Available at start for True Kin regardless of starting arcology
• Much larger radius than most light sources
• Not carrying a light source grants the player some measure of stealth (most creatures can detect enemies only about 10-20 tiles away in total darkness)
• Aids in long-distance ranged combat

Disadvantages

• Face implant slot competes for a lot of debatably more useful implants.
• The color replacement greatly reduces information the player receives at a glance, which can lead to a failure to recognize threats like legendary hostile enemies.
• Can be completely replaced by night-vsion goggles, the schematic of which can be obtained from Schemasoft (low-tier)

Tips

• Allows the user to see and target Haggabah, Who Plies The Umbral Path, greatly reducing the difficulty and danger of fighting them.
• The 40 tiles of vison can allow the user to see threats from a great distance and respond accordingly, rather than being suddenly caught off guard, as is often the case with more short-range light sources such as torches or miner's helmets
