Another alternative, which may be quicker depending on the case, is to load the drugs in a transport pod and keep them there until the binge is over. This could also be done to the addict by trapping them but will become counterproductive once they become hungry. One alternative to keeping drugs out of the hands of binging addicts is to place the drugs in a room and wall up the entrance. You can also sell them to passing traders that are interested in buying, or have a non-binging colonist take them away on a caravan. To destroy drugs, you can burn them at a campfire. Other withdrawal-based mental breaks are another story. A drug binging colonist without access to that drug will only wander around until their senses are restored. This can cause a relapse from getting those colonists clean.Ĭolonists can't take drugs that they can't reach. Such colonists will ignore drug policies. This means that the addiction takes longer to cure for each dose the addict takes to a maximum of 100%.Ĭolonists with either the Chemical Interest or Fascination traits as well as addicts may randomly have drug binges. Time spent in withdrawal is calculated by multiplying addiction severity by recovery time. Note that pawns with different sizes, such as teenagers or animals will have different values. Tolerance gain values are for size 1.00 pawns, or that of adult humans.When tolerant, the severity given per dose of the drug will decrease by a fixed amount, meaning that they will last shorter, and colonists will need to consume more of them.Īddiction also has the same effect, in addition to requiring the pawn get a regular dose of the drug to prevent withdrawal. Safe consumption of drugs can be set in the restriction tab for drug usage.

Colonists will have a chance of getting addicted once they cross a certain tolerance threshold.

Tolerance gain is inversely proportional to body size, so smaller colonists (teenagers 0.85 vs normal 1.0) gain more tolerance per drug use. It has a fixed buildup amount for each drug, and decreases each day afterwards. Tolerance is the value related to addiction upon consumption of any drugs. Otherwise, the withdrawal from it will cause all sorts of mental breaks, eventually resulting in death. Once taken, it will need to be taken regularly. Without a continuous supply of drugs, withdrawal symptoms will kick in and your poor colonist will suffer.

Animals may take drugs on their own if they are within their allowed areas.Īddictions are a sad reality that most drug-using colonies must face. You can also toggle to use the drug to feed an addiction, separately from joy usage.ĭrugs can also be administered through a medical operation. For example, you can assign a colonist to drink 2 beers every day, and take one Penoxycyline every 5 days. You can set any number of drugs, each with a frequency. Similar to Outfits, drug policies are an assigned schedule for taking drugs. The effects of drugs are modulated by body size, so smaller creatures need less beer to be drunk than bigger animals such as the Thrumbo.ĭrugs can be assigned for regular taking through the drug policy system. Binging pawns will take drugs even if they're forbidden though. If you want to avoid drugs in your colony, you have the option of burning them at a campfire or crematorium, or forbidding them and selling them to a trader which is lucrative on the market.
