    Chemical Interest and Fascination do not function as described in the video. Chemical Interest and Fascination function by essentially setting "Take for Addiction" and "Take for Recreation" to always be checked -- regardless of what the player selects on the drug policy.
    Chems do not have random drug binges. This behavior was removed.
    Chems do not take drugs on their own based on their mood nor based on their chemical need bar. Their Chem Need bar only affects mood. The Chem "taking drugs on their own" and "chems mood being affected by drug use" are two entirely separate, but related, mechanics.
    Chems take drugs on their own solely as if "Take for Rec" or "Take For Addiction" were checked. Test and confirm via setting a colonist to Sleep 24/7. On a Sleep schedule, a colonist will never do recreation. The Chem will become Recreation starved and never take drugs. Truly, surround them with drugs, set to all sleep, and watch them ignore all the drugs despite their need bar and mood being empty. Then, set a colonist to 24/7 Recreation. Watch them slam the drugs repeatedly for recreation.
    Also, "Take For Recreation" always take drugs from inventory if possible. If set your Chem person to hold beer, and no other drugs, then they will ALWAYS take beer for recreation. That assumes you have enough beer so they can always have some in their inventory. You may or may not wish the chem person to hold harder drugs in inventory. Schedule other drugs, like tea and ambrosia, based on mood as shown -- but you may not wish them to hold those drugs. Set beer not to be taken, but to be the only drug held. You probably want to use beer because it has the shortest safe dose interval.
    This is also easy to test and confirm in game. Get a Chem. Set to hold 1 and only 1 type of drug. Surround them with huge piles of other drugs. Set them to 24/7 recreation. Watch them pound the drug from their inventory and ignore all the drugs around them.

    Penoxycycline: If you're on a high disease tile like tropical rainforest or swamp, it's absolutely worth it. It generally isn't on most other tiles. Keep in mind that malaria and sleeping sickness are slow diseases. Your pawn will be in bed for 4-8 days without the penoxycycline and you'll churn through medicine in the process.

      Also good for sickly pawns. They can get so many diseases, sometimes at the same time, it's so annoying. Had a great crafter recently, but she was never around to craft things because she was always sick and she was a wimp (genie) so kept collapsing. With penoxy, at least some of the diseases were no issue any more.

      The other day a batch of chickens hatched in the dining room/recreation area (I put the eggs there because the stable was too cold). The chicks drank beer, passed out and had to be rescued, but one had permanent brain damage afterwards. One bottle of beer is A LOT for a little chick. 😳😒

Been stashing up ambrosia because a tribal nearby paid top dollar. Mr. T-rex decided he liked ambrosia. A lot. Didn't notice my stash went from like 60 to 10. When I did I was trying to figure out which pawn I'd screwed up the drug policy on when the buzz alarm went off "T-Rex #1 is addicted to Ambrosia". FML. Got rid of the ambrosia and, well... it didn't go well. Did you know T-rex can bit a limb off a pawn even when they're wearing cataphract armor? I do now.

      As I read about those rules selling somebody for organs kinda makes game not being good enough for Australia but I guess there are some restrictions how graphical it is.

    Just to add to the observation on the "Dead calm" gene, I think the "catatonic state" mental breakdown is also eligible, as well as "crisis of belief". I don't look at code and I haven't tested this, so I could be wrong, but if a pawn has the gene and they have a mental breakdown, your chances of them becoming catatonic instead go way up, as you only have 2 options. This is a substantial risk increase, as it is an incredibly annoying ocurrence. Anyway, great video!
    Edit: I've just read a comment that mentions one can have a daze too. Less annoying, more options, meaning less risk of becoming catatonic than I previously expected. Then again, there's a substantially high risk anyway.

    My drug policy is way more lax:
    Psychite 60% every 2 days
    Ambrosia and beer 45% 2 day and 1 day
    Smoke leaf 40% every 2 days.
    They carry 2 tea and 1 of everything else including go juice and wake up.
    With a biphasic schedule, getting them taking that tea proactively gives them a lot of inspirations.
    Also, body size is a major problem. For 13 to 17 year olds, in normal body size, and all small sized pawns, I will usually add an extra day for each drug as safe period, which seems to work.

    9:06 This only counts for the extreme breaks that prisoners can only have (that are not your colonists that you've recruited then imprisoned), I have had a pawn who I captured that went through go-juice withdrawal and was an ascetic sanguine pawn who didn't care about the terrible environment, paste meals, and had a constant +12 moodlet (in other words they never got into mental break territory), and they just went into dazes throughout their withdrawal, and were usually the one who was getting hurt by the other prisoner going through alcohol withdrawal. Also Go-juice seems to be a relatively short withdrawal period, at least compared to alcohol which took forever by comparison. Ambrosia is the weakest with a very short withdrawal period and only a -10 with no other negatives.
    13:21 Be very careful if you have biotech installed and one of those chemical interest pawns is younger than 18, because they don't have the body size to tolerate the normal drug schedule. I had a pawn that I picked them up when they were 14 and had chemical interest and eventually they did get an alcohol addiction when they were like 16 and I had to arrest them and get them to work off their addiction.

    for me I set smokeleaf down at 20, and psychite tea I have every 2 days for free no matter what, because its just a bonus as long as they dont get addicted, beer I dont like too much because its a hassle but I let anyone take it when below 35 as a boost, ambrosia I dont harvest enough of to set scheduled, I always manually tell a dude to take some when he drops low or needs a boost

    I have PTSD from adding too much wealth to my colony. I feel like I never use drugs because I'm so freaked out about having wealth lying around that I'm not currently using. I tend to run semi small pawn count colonies and just end up getting creamed at some point. I think I'm 5,000 hours into the game and have only "won" three times. I must have the masochist trait.

      Yeah the game is a bit of a balancing act, you need enough defence to counteract what every wealth you have. Makes expanding fast a bit hard.

    4:57 “You need to take Luciferium every 5-6 days” That’s what the description of the drug says but this is inaccurate. The correct info is that the Luciferium bar depletes every 6.667 days, which means that if you create a drug policy to take every 5 days you are wasting 1.6 days of filled need bar. Explained in another way; an addicted pawn will waste almost 2 extra luciferiums every 30 days if he takes the drug every 5 days. That doesn’t seem like a lot except when you multiply for each pawn using it.
    So the recommended setting would necessarily be to take every 6 days but In reality you can go as far as 7 days with minimal issues. Specially if you are low on the drug and/or have a lot of addicted pawns and need to ration it.
    After the luciferium need reaches 0% the pawn suffers from the following symptoms:
    +40% pain (-15 mood)
    -20% consciousness
    Berserk mental breaks every 0.4 days
    Death by destroyed brain after 10 days (since the last Luciferium)

    • @FrancisJohnYT

      Don't schedule the taking of luciferium at all just tick (for addctions) and they will take more Lucy when the need bar gets near the bottom.

    That chemical interest information is wrong. Chem int and chem fasc basically have an override on their "do drug for recreation" option where it's always set to on.
    Chemical bar fullness is irrelevant, they will go take random drugs if they want recreation and have access (in their zone, not forbidden) to them.
    They're still manageable, just not like that.

      I've had several running around my base with no zone restrictions for the hard drugs, and they never consumed more than their beer a day unless their mood got too low.

    • @DSlyde
      @DSlyde Рік тому

      @Jack Andersen you're welcome to do a controlled test yourself.
      Most likely they just had high enough recreation when hard chems were easier to access or were set to Work, but neither is sustainable indefinitely

    My poor husky Winnie T_T In the like 2 seconds between purchasing some luciferium from a visiting trader and whisking it away to a puppy-free drug storage room, she ate one. I decided to see if animals also went berserk from not taking it, since you can't schedule animals on a drug policy - and yep, they do. I had to get her bonded owner to take her out. It was all very Ol' Yelleresque.

    • @FrancisJohnYT
      @FrancisJohnYT  Рік тому

      I don't know, have not tested, but so long as their tolerance is not going up it means they are stable. If their tolerance starts going up then you know they are going to need more and more beer which leads to liver failure.

    in my first Biotech playthrough, I created a race of (40k) Orks, I wanted to make them dependant on Go-Juice (as a proxy for Painnboy Fighting Juice), bur the game didn't let me give them both genes for dependency and addiction immunity, am I doing something wrong?

    • @OrioPrisco
      @OrioPrisco Рік тому +2

      I'm pretty sure that dependency makes you immune.

    • @sm678-k2m
      @sm678-k2m Рік тому +2

      You dont need both, take just dependency
      Immunity is too weak because it doesn't save you from overdoses(for one take of course, several doses in a row still kill you)
      At least for the very first biotech version I tested

    About penoxycycline: It has a lasting effect of 5.5 days and if taken regularly using drug policies, it will prevent your pawns from getting infections after combat or help them not get sick when disease event come by. As long as you have a steady flow of neutromarine through trading, you should let everyone have it regularly
    Addictions in my experience never cause a problem unless the drug one's addicted to runs out. So just an early game issue. Honestly only addictions I care about are go juice (expensive) and luciferium (rare). For example in my last run 1/3 of my pawns were addicted to wake-up I'd totally forgot because it didn't cause any problems (late game).
    Don't be afraid of drugs, be afraid of food though, that's the real killer in harsch climates

    • @asureaskie
      @asureaskie Рік тому +1

      Penox only affects plague, malaria, and sleeping sickness. It has no impact on wound infections, flu, gut worms, or mechanites. I'll use it if I'm in a swamp or similar biome with frequent diseases, on a sickly pawn, or in very small colonies late-game, but it's otherwise generally not worth it.

    Body size also directly affects the chance of addictions, a slim pawn will become addicted to the soft drugs even with the correct schedule, a plump pawn is less likely to develop addictions. My slim researcher and slim planter both became addicted to psychite tea, and alcohol, even though they were set to take them on a "safe" schedule. My plump crafter and plump planter were absolutely fine on the same schedule.
    Edited for spelling mistake.

    • @FrancisJohnYT

      I think you are referring to body mass? Adult pawns 18+ are what the schedule is designed for anyone below 18 has smaller mass, you can't feed a beer to a 3 year old without getting them hammered.

      Peg legs is so last year, now... With the Harvest all mod and the new genes(and gene mods), it means no prisoner has arms, legs, eyes, ears, nose, stomach, or spine and is missing a lung and kidney. They also secrete insect jelly and grow devilstrand on their body. They also convert food to bioelectric energy, which charges batteries. I also give them a master psychic gene so they emit a nice mood hit to people around them, even though their mood never goes over zero. You can add an ageless gene and superimmune, so they stay like that forever.

(the bad part about that drug is sooner or later it runs out cuz you used it all lol). now this is a warning the mods take away ALOT from the game lol. if you go with alot of mods and you use the drug memes you can get super powered people. my 5 people can do the work and combat of about 20 people. they just annihilate everything and never go down unless they die lol
