Alpha Wave Generator

Tech Level 41 for three points. Passive sanity support for the whole base, not another station you assign workers to.

The usual recipe is Refined Ingot ×40, Circuit Board ×20, Corrosive Solvent ×10, and Paldium Fragment ×20. Other tables swap solvent for Electric Organ or bump the counts; when sources disagree, check in-game and treat those as alternate snapshots. Workload is heavy, commonly near 50,000.

Once placed, it slows SAN drain for assigned base pals. The reduction is often cited around 10%. Only one generator counts. Extra copies do nothing, so save the boards and solvent for other crafts.

It doesn't replace Hot Spring recovery. Waves slow the bleed; springs (and food) put SAN back. Build one Alpha Wave in a central yard, keep springs reachable, and stop stacking duplicates that waste midgame electronics.
