View source for Nanite Infection Strain Database

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' ('''NISD''') is a storage unit and interface allowing the player to store and trade samples of particular [[infection]]s or willfully infect themselves with specific infection strains, thus acquiring specific [[form]]s. It is available to all player characters, but can be upgraded with [[Mako]]. It is accessed with the <code>nisd</code> or <code>+nisd</code> command tree (see below).

Infection samples are enumerated as '''vials''', which are automatically extracted from fallen enemies after combat so long as a [[Nanite Collector]] is equipped. Depending on the quality of the Nanite Collector, the player will not necessarily extract a vial from every enemy.

== Game Description ==
{{Mako Item|name=Nanite Infection Strain Database|desc=This device is the ultimate in infection vial storage! Type +NISD #help for the instruction manual.|cost=50}}

== Mechanics ==
The standard NISD available to every player can hold 1,000 vials per infection strain with no known limit to how many strains may be sampled at once. This limit can be upgraded to 100,000 vials per strain with the '''Mako NISD''' (50 Mako).

=== Boss vials ===
Boss vials are necessary for characters to level up after level 30.

There are two kinds of boss vials: standard and adapted.
* A standard boss vial, created from 200 regular vials, works within 5 levels of the vial.
* An adapted boss vial, created from 400 regular vials, works at any level.

The NISD is not able to store boss vials without the '''Advancement NISD''' upgrade (25 Mako).

The [[Non-Violent Progress]] Perk allows pacifist players to (very slowly) bypass the boss vial requirement to level up.

== Commands ==
All commands also work in the form <code>+nisd</code>.

; <code>nisd</code> : Display a summary of the [[Infection Vial|infection vials]] you currently have stored.
; <code>nisd #search here</code>
; <code>nisd #search masterable</code>
; <code>nisd #search ''<filter>''</code>
; <code>nisd #search ''<number>''</code>
: List the vials you have that correspond to infections from ferals in your current location, contain infections you can [[Infection and You#Mastering Infections|master]], that you have at least ''<number>'' of, or that contain infection names matching the regex filter ''<filter>'', respectively.
; <code>nisd #setMasteryneeded ''<number>''</code> : Set the necessary number of vials to be considered masterable.
; <code>nisd/store ''<inventory position>''=''<number>''</code>
; <code>nisd/store ''<inventory position one>-<inventory position two>''=''<number>''</code>
: Transfer a quantity of infection vials from your inventory to your NISD. The first form transfers one type of infection vial, the second transfers all the vials between two inventory positions. The inventory numbers are obtained from the [[inventory]] command.
; <code>nisd/extract ''<infection name>''=''<quantity>''</code> : Transfer a number of vials of the specified infection from your NISD back to your inventory.
; <code>nisd/consume ''<infection name>''=''<quantity>''</code> : Extract the specified vials from your NISD and consume them to adopt that infection.
; <code>nisd/consume Masterable</code> : Consume the set number of vials necessary for mastering an infection on all acceptable infections.
; <code>nisd/transfer ''<infection name>''=''<person>''=''<quantity>''</code> : Transfer the specified vials to another player.
; <code>nisd upgrade ''<power name>''=''<upgrade name>''=''<infection name>''=''<quantity>''</code> : Upgrade the rating on a power upgrade (up to 25%) on an existing upgrade.
; <code>nisd distill ''<infection name>''</code> : Create a boss vial from 200 standard vials.
