intravenous port is a moderate cost cybernetic implant which, upon installation, effectively doubles the duration of all tonics. This includes luminous hoarshrooms, despite them not technically being injectors.

The enhanced duration only applies to on-turn, stat-boosting or HP recovering effects. Activated abilities provided by certain tonics, such as the 7-9 turn Phasing from using shade oil injectors do not have their durations lengthened, nor are additional usable instances of the ability obtained due to said longer duration. Similarly, tonics which have effects that only trigger at the end, such as the limited limb Regeneration granted by ubernostrum injectors, do not become more effective despite taking longer than normal to activate.

Additionally and contray to the description, the duration of tonics is technically not doubled; instead, with every installed intravenous port, any injected tonic will gain duration corresponding to it's original unmodified length. This essentially means that the first installed port will grant a 100% boost to active turns, however, the second only provides an effective 50% bonus with increasingly diminished returns as additional copies of the implant are installed.

Advantages & Disadvantages

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

Advantages

• Generally makes tonics less resource-intensive to use.
• Can be installed into any open slot.

Disadvantages

• Arguably reduces the useability of shade oil injector,

Tips

• While active, tonics retain their boosted duration even if the user were to uninstall the implant, essentially meaning that as long as the tonic was injected before removal, it will still benefit from intravenous port's effect. Opening up various utility options if the user were to have access to a large quantity of intravenous ports, a becoming nook and some method of targeted teleportation like a reprogrammable recoiler or an installed onboard recoiler. Such utility options include:
  • Being able to temporarily install several ports to make skulk injectors last for up to 10 days, allowing the user to benefit from the various darkness-based bonuses for extended periods without having to sacrifice any of their normal cybernetics-based capabilities.
  • Being able with the Tomorrowful skill and 8 temporarily installed ports to have Sphynx salt visions last for over 300 turns, giving the user a potent safety net that can be used to help clear dangerous locations like tier 8 Historial sites or for use against deadly boss-like creatures such as chrome pyramids and the Girsh Nephilim
  • Being able to potentially benefit from the +8Template:DVlink of shade oil injectors for hundreds of turns at a time without having to sacrifice any implant slots.
• The enhanced duration of blaze injectors is arguably best exploited with fire suppression system. While the implant is installed, it's automatic dispensing of gel will stop the user from being set on fire by the effects of the tonic, preventing the injector from ending prematurely and allowing the user to do anything while still fully benefiting from the tonic's bonuses.
• Can be used the extend the duration of hulk honey injectors in order to better exploit the uncapped Pv provided by the three handbones implants.
