'''Pemmican''' is a low-tech long-lasting food, ideal for [[caravan]] trips.

== Acquisition ==
Pemmican can be [[Work#Cook|cooked]] at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]], [[{{P|Production Facility 2}}]], or [[{{P|Production Facility 3}}]] once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. There is no [[Cooking]] skill requirement, though it does use the cooking skill.

Each batch of {{P|Product Amount}} requires a mixture of 0.25 nutrition from meat and 0.25 nutrition from vegetables and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work. Alternatively, pemmican can be made in batches of 64 at the cost of 1 nutrition of each type and {{ticks|2800}} of work. [[Campfire]]s have a {{Bad|x50%}} work speed multiplier; it takes twice as long to cook pemmican at a campfire.

It can also be purchased from [[trade]]rs, or occasionally recovered from [[tribal]] [[raider]]s.

== Summary ==
Unlike most [[meals|cooked meal]]s, each unit of pemmican is worth 0.05 nutrition. 18 units of pemmican are as filling as a single [[simple meal]], [[fine meal]], or [[packaged survival meal]] (which all worth 0.9 nutrition per item).

As you get 16 pemmican for 10 units of [[raw food]], pemmican has a nutrition efficiency of 160%.

=== Benefits of discrete nutrition ===
Pawns will eat just before they become [[Saturation#Levels of Saturation|hungry]]. With larger meals, this can result in a significant amount of overeating. [[Simple meal]]s and [[fine meal]]s give 0.9 nutrition per meal. Humans can store up to 1.0 nutrition, but will try to eat when they have around 0.25 nutrition left. If left to their own devices, a colonist will waste 0.15 nutrition for every full meal. In contrast, a colonist with pemmican will only bring what they need. They'll eat 0.8 nutrition of pemmican, resulting in a lower waste of food. Smaller [[animal]]s will overeat more. [[Chicken]]s only have capacity for 0.30 nutrition, so making full meals for your coop is a waste.

It is possible to micromanage your colonists so that they'll only eat when starving, meaning that they will never overeat (even with simple meals). If micromanagement is used, then simple meals will give more nutrition than pemmican. If pawns are left to their own devices, pemmican is more efficient since it prevents overeating.

Despite consisting of individual units, pawns eat a batch of pemmican like a meal, rather than consuming each unit separately. If the eating process is interrupted, all the pemmican remains uneaten and the pawn's hunger remains unchanged. The number of units has no effect on eating speed - it takes the same time to consume one pemmican as it takes to consume 18 pemmican.

== Analysis ==
Pemmican's main purpose is to preserve food. This is useful for two independent purposes.
* [[Caravan]]s. Most cooked meals only last for a few days, so pemmican can be used for long trips on the road. Pemmican faces direct competition with [[packaged survival meal]]s, which [[New Arrivals]] can research for the ''exact same cost'' as the pemmican research. An in-depth comparison can be viewed [[#Comparison to PSMs|below]].

* [[New Tribe]]s start with Pemmican researched, but lack the ability to [[cooler|freeze]] food. Pemmican can be used to preserve [[meat]] and other perishables like [[berries]] before they spoil. However, food crops last a while - [[rice]] lasts for 40 days, [[corn]] for 60 days. You can get multiple harvests by the time the first spoils. If reliant entirely on crops, then pemmican is mostly unnecessary.

As pemmican takes a long time to create, it is not recommended for "usual" daily consumption. If food storage isn't an issue, then [[simple meal]]s or [[fine meal]]s should be made instead, as they are quicker to prepare, regardless of overeating or not.

=== Comparison to packaged survival meals ===
The [[packaged survival meal]] (PSM) serves a very similar purpose to pemmican as a long lasting caravan food. Pemmican is more nutritious than packaged meals (160% vs 150% nutrition efficiency). In addition, pawns won't overeat with pemmican nearly as much, as described in the [[#Benefits of discrete nutrition|summary]] section. Finally, pemmican is roughly {{+|8%}} better for weight, a small but relevant bonus for any sort of caravan trip.

The most apparent advantage of packed survival meals is that they ''never rot''. In contrast, pemmican spoils in {{P|Days To Start Rot Base}} days. However, the actual benefit of this is questionable. Unless you are playing with 100% coverage, even the [[ship to the stars]] quest is unlikely to take more than a RimWorld year. And during the trip, you'll likely be able to [[trade]] for food, using [[silver]], [[gold]], or any other material. Silver never spoils. Finally, you can [[camp]] or temporarily settle to restore your food reserves. The only scenario when this is likely to make a difference are niche situation when you want to stay in the tile for a long time after you have traveled, and producing food there is impossible or there's no pawn there good at Plants.

PSMs have a few other advantages. They are drastically more efficient in storage space - storing {{Good|x240%}} nutrition / tile when compared to pemmican. PSMs also require {{Good|x60%}} the work to make. Finally, packaged meals sell for more than pemmican, and can be sold to outlander factions. If you end up packing too much food but need to buy goods, then PSMs have a small advantage.

Overall, pemmican is often a better caravan food, due to its superior nutrition / weight. However, it takes more work to create. If a cook's work is important, if you need to prepare for a trip quickly, or if you are planning a massive trip, then packaged survival meals can be a more practical choice. If you are [[New Arrivals]] looking to research a caravan food, then pemmican is likely the better option - but the differences are small and either option could work fine.

===As animal feed===
Pemmican and [[kibble]] both have 0.05 nutrition per item, which makes them good [[animal]] feed. They both allow herbivorous animals to eat meat, and increase nutrition per work.

Kibble's main advantage is that it is ''much'' quicker to prepare. It takes {{ticks|400}} for 50 units of kibble, but {{ticks|700}} for ''16'' units of pemmican. However, pemmican is more nutritionally efficient. 10 raw food would create 16 units of pemmican, but only 12.5 units of kibble. When considering labor for both plant and animal farming, kibble ends up being a better choice for work. However, if it's winter and you are running out of food, then pemmican can end up being an animal-saving option.

'''Ailments''' are [[health]] conditions that cannot be treated completely using medicine alone.

"MTB" stands for "Mean Time Between", and is how it's presented in the game files.

Some conditions can give rise to other conditions; the risk of this happening will diminish if the condition is treated.

Most permanent ailments are curable with body part replacements or usage of the [[healer mech serum]].

{{Heal Option Table}}

== Chronic ==
Ailments that come with age. Either non-fatal, or progresses extremely slowly towards fatality compared to infectious diseases.

=== Alzheimer's ===
{{stub|reason = "Forget memory" and "confused wandering" mechanics}}
A brain disease usually associated with aging. Alzheimer's disease causes progressive degradation in the ability to think and remember. Patients are known to forget close relatives and sometimes wander around in confusion.

Alzheimer's progresses by 0.003 per day, meaning that it will take 333.33 days for it to reach full severity from when it first appears.

'''Treatment:'''
* [[Luciferium]]: Luciferium removes one randomly selected condition that it can cure every 900,000 to 1,800,000 [[ticks]] (15 - 30 in-game days). Having fewer luciferium-curable conditions will increase the chance that Alzheimer's is chosen, so it can be worth attempting to address any conditions that can be other means. Even with this however, it can take a significant amount of time. Also note that luciferium is a permanent decision - once taken, further doses are necessary to avoid madness and death.
* [[Healer mech serum]]: A healer mech serum will instantaneously heal one condition of the pawn, including Alzheimer's. Which condition is chosen depends on a priority order, with Alzheimer's being a moderately high priority. See the serum's [[Healer mech serum#Summary|condition order]] for details.
* [[Resurrector mech serum]]: Because the resurrector mech serum will replace a destroyed head with a healthy one, it can be used to heal brain ailments, including Alzheimers. Consistently destroying the head can be difficult. With the [[Ideology DLC]], extracting the [[skull]] from a dead pawn will do this reliably and safely, but without it, the best way is allowing colonists or animals to eat sections of the corpse, at the risk of consuming the entire body and permanently losing the pawn. Furthermore, no matter how successful the head removal, there is always the risks normally associated with resurrection, including [[dementia]], [[blindness]], and [[resurrection psychosis]]. Note that pawns will initially be incapacitated due to resurrection sickness.
* [[Death refusal]]{{AnomalyIcon}}: Similar to the [[Resurrector mech serum]], a pawn imbued with death refusal can self-resurrect and replace a destroyed head with a healthy one. This comes with the drawback of the pawn losing experience in their skills that happens upon imbuing the death refusal. Pawns resurrected via this method will also have resurrection sickness and a negative [[Mood|moodlet]] upon being resurrected.
* [[Chronophagy]]{{AnomalyIcon}}: As pawns younger than 34 cannot get Alzheimer's, reversing age to younger than that in a Chronophagy ritual will remove it.
* [[Unnatural healing]]{{AnomalyIcon}}: a Creepjoiner with unnatural healing replicates the effect of a healer mech serum and so can be similarly used to cure Alzheimers at the minor risk of replacing an arm with a flesh tentacle for the cured pawn

=== Asthma ===
A chronic health condition where inflammation causes the airways to narrow, restricting the flow of oxygen to the lungs. Unlike other chronic diseases, asthma can be contracted at almost any age, meaning it's not terribly uncommon to have an asthmatic person some time down the line.

When not treated, it progresses by a rate of 0.25 per day, meaning it will take 2 days to reach full severity (50%).

Good treatment will reduce the rate of progression by up to 0.8, meaning it will regress by 0.55 a day; it can be returned to its initial severity, but cannot be cured completely.

Asthma's severity will fluctuate depending on the quality of treatment received, with a treatment quality of 32% beginning to regress the stages of asthma (the higher, the better).

|-
| '''Asthma (major)''' || ≥ 45% severity || -50% part efficiency
|}

Treatment:
* The severity of asthma can be reduced with treatment, which can be given every 420,000 ticks (around 7 days). One treatment applies to both lungs.
* Asthma can be cured by replacing each affected lung with a [[Lung#Acquisition|healthy replacement]].

A human pawn can first get asthma at any age.

Asthma can also affect animals, domestic, tamed and wild. Domestic and tamed will notify you that they "need treatment", although there apparently is no downside for ignoring that request except slowing them down which may be bad for [[Animals#Training|trained]] or [[pack animal]]s. Similarly, asthmatic wild animals on the map can roam and eat indefinitely without treatment. In fact, wild animals with asthma are easier and slightly safer to hunt, because asthma will reduce their [[move speed]] to 81%, and their [[manipulation]] to only 90%, which makes any counter-attack less effective.

=== Bad back ===

Cataracts can be cured through the following methods:

* Use of a [[healer mech serum]] which will heal cataracts in both eyes at once
* Via [[luciferium]] use. Note that this does not occur instantaneously, but instead at healing instances that occur periodically. See that page for details.
* Through the use of the [[biosculpter pod]]'s bioregeneration cycle.{{IdeologyIcon}}
* Via the [[Scarless]] gene.{{BiotechIcon}} Note that this does not occur instantaneously, but instead at healing instances that occur periodically. See that page for details.

=== Carcinoma ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=How do the stages progress/occur and what chances and factors affects them?}}
A carcinoma (or cancer) is where mutated cells uncontrollably divide to form tumors, which then 'crowd out' normal bodily cells and hinder bodily function in that area. Carcinomas can be surgically removed by a skilled doctor or, in some cases, the affected body part can be removed, either by amputation, transplantation of a healthy body part, or replacement by an [[artificial body part]]. Ordinary treatment will prolong the development of a carcinoma or speed up remission, and can be done by doctors of any skill, though better treatment quality is more effective.

A carcinoma typically starts out at 30% severity. There is a 30% chance that a carcinoma won't cause any pain whatsoever.

A cancer has 3 stages; growing, stable and remission.
* When growing, it progresses by 0.003 per day, multiplied by a random factor of 0.45 - 1.65.
* When stable, it neither grows nor regresses on its own.
* When in remission, it regresses by 0.002 per day, multiplied by a random factor of 0.7 - 1.5.

Good treatment can slow progression by 0.0027 per day, meaning that the carcinoma will:
* grow more slowly when in growing stage
:* some slow-growing carcinomas (something less than half) may stop or actually regress (very slowly) during their "growing" stage with good treatment
* slowly regress when stable
* regress quickly when in remission
{| class="wikitable"

* Acute pain (+60%)
* -90% part efficiency
|-
| '''Carcinoma (extreme)''' || 100% severity ||
* Affected part is destroyed
|}

Treatment:
* Treated every {{ticks|240000}}
* The carcinoma will disappear if severity reaches 0.
* "Excise carcinoma" surgery; this needs 4 medicine of [[medicine|industrial quality]] or above, {{ticks|4500}} of work, and a doctor with a [[medical]] skill of 10 or above. The surgery has a 100% base chance to succeed. If it fails, there is a 25% chance that the patient [[Death|dies]]. Thus, as the maximum [[Doctoring#Success chance|success chance]] is capped at 98%, there is always at least a 0.5% chance of death per attempt.

A human pawn must be at least 22.4 years old to get carcinoma from aging, meaning it can first occur at their 23rd birthday. Carcinomas from other sources, including [[toxic buildup]] and [[nuclear stomach]]s,{{RoyaltyIcon}} can happen at any age. Installed nuclear stomachs create a carcinoma on the torso with an MTB of 120 days.

=== Dementia ===
Dementia is simply the functionality of the brain declining, and affects all cognitive functions.

It can only be healed with a [[healer mech serum]], [[luciferium]], [[unnatural healing]]{{AnomalyIcon}} or the [[chronophagy]] psychic ritual.{{AnomalyIcon}}

=== Artery blockage ===
A blockage in one of the critical arteries in the [[heart]]. Heart artery blockages randomly induce [[#Heart attack|heart attacks]]. Artery blockages can be treated by replacing the heart with a [[heart|natural]], [[prosthetic heart|prosthetic]] or [[bionic heart|bionic]] replacement, with a [[healer mech serum]], with [[luciferium]], or with the use of [[biosculpter pod]]'s bioregeneration cycle{{IdeologyIcon}}.

Artery blockages progress by a base of 0.0007 per day, multiplied by a random factor between 0.5 - 3.
This means that artery blockages can take anywhere from 7.9 to 47.6 in-game years from onset to become fatal on its own.

Artery blockages can be treated by replacing the heart.

== Acute ==
Some ailments arise as a result of an acute lack of food or exposure to extreme temperatures. These ailments can only be treated by addressing the underlying cause (e.g. providing food or moving to more comfortable temperatures).

=== Malnutrition ===
When a pawn's [[Eating|food]] meter reaches 0%, they will begin to suffer from [[malnutrition]], shown on the health tab. When a colonist is starving they will prioritize eating over other activities, including firefighting and doctoring.

Malnutrition severity without food will advance at an average of 17% per day. There is a variation for each pawn that will vary this by 20% in both directions, meaning a pawn may actually die of malnutrition between 4.9~7.4 days of first having symptoms. There is no stat indicating the specific rate that a pawn may die of malnutrition, but the modified rate is determined for each specific pawn in a given playthrough.

=== Blood loss ===
{{About|section=1|the effect of already lost blood|the mechanics that cause blood loss|Bleeding}}
A reduction in the normal blood volume. Minor blood loss has relatively mild effects, but as severity increases, the [[consciousness]] rapidly become debilitating. Extreme blood loss leads to [[death]]. Total blood loss is listed under whole body, with a tooltip showing the percent.

Blood loss can occur when a pawn has untreated [[Injury#Bleeding|bleeding injuries]], has had blood harvested for [[hemogen pack]]s,{{BiotechIcon}} or has been fed on by a [[Bloodfeeder]].{{BiotechIcon}} Blood loss from multiple sources stacks additively.

All pawns recover 33.3% of their blood per day, regardless of [[traits]], [[genes]], [[drugs]], or [[artificial body parts]]. All natural blood recovery is stopped when a pawn is [[bleeding]], even in small amounts. Pawns can also recover through a blood transfusion operation, using 1 [[hemogen pack]]{{BiotechIcon}} to recover 35%. The [[Biosculpter_pod#Medic|biosculpter pod's medic cycle]]{{IdeologyIcon}} will also cure all blood loss, though it should be noted that non-transhumanist pawns would recover completely from blood loss in the same time as the cycle takes to complete anyway. If there is no other reason to use the medic cycle, non-transhumanist pawns should just recover outside of the pod and remain productive for that time.

=== Heatstroke ===
Heat stroke occurs when a pawn has prolonged exposure to [[temperature]]s 10°C (18°F) above their [[maximum comfortable temperature]], and recovery occurs in temperatures less than the maximum comfortable temperature.
Note that it is possible for a pawn to have both heatstroke and hypothermia at the same time if time is spent in both extreme heat and cold - their severities are unrelated.

Pawns additionally take periodic burn damage in temperatures more than 150°C (270°F) above their maximum comfortable temperature.
====Severity Increase====

The procedure for determining severity growth every 60-tick interval, '''SG60''' for short, is given by:
# Take the amount by which the ambient temperature exceeds the pawn's maximum safe temperature (which is the maximum comfortable temperature +10°C).
# Pass the amount through the curve shown below to obtain the effective temperature excess.
## Note that for amounts from 0 to 25 °C, this doesn't result in a change.
# Multiply the excess by <code>6.45e-5</code> to obtain the severity growth this interval (60 ticks, 1 second).
# If the growth is less than <code>0.000375</code>, set it to that number. This sets a minimum amount the severity increases by for temperatures in the range of 10 to 15.814°C above the maximum comfortable temperature.
:<code>'''SG60''' = max(0.000375, 0.0000645 × effective_temperature_curve(ambient_temperature - (maximum_comfortable_temperature + 10°C)))</code>
::<code>where effective_temperature_curve() is a post-processing curve with points: (0, 0), (25, 25), (50, 40), (100, 60), (200, 80), (400, 100), (4000, 1000).</code>

====Severity Decrease====
If the ambient temperature is less than the maximum comfortable temperature, the amount the severity will decrease every 60-tick interval is given by:
:<code>Decrease in heatstroke severity every 60 ticks = max(0.0015, min(0.015, 0.027 × heatstroke_severity))</code>
This means that as long as the ambient temperature is less than the maximum comfortable temperature, heatstroke recovery is independent of temperature. Severity decreases at a constant rate of 1.5% when at 55.6% or above, slowing down until reaching its slowest (0.15%) at 5.6% and below. Full recovery from near-100% severity occurs after 151 real-time seconds, or 3.6 in-game hours.

=== Hypothermia ===
Hypothermia occurs when a pawn has prolonged exposure to [[temperature]]s 10°C (18°F) below their [[minimum comfortable temperature]]. [[Insectoids]] don't experience hypothermia, but instead get [[hypothermic slowdown]].

Note that it is possible for a pawn to have both heatstroke and hypothermia at the same time if time is spent in both extreme heat and cold - their severities are unrelated.


The rate of severity growth depends on the difference below the pawn's minimum safe temperature and the ambient temperature. The specific algorithm is:
# Take the amount by which the pawn's minimum safe temperature (which is the [[minimum comfortable temperature]] -10°C) exceeds the ambient temperature.
# Multiply the excess by <code>6.45e-5</code> to obtain the severity growth this interval. Note that unlike [[#Heatstroke|hyperthermia]], hypothermia calculations don't use a postprocessing curve.
# If the growth is less than <code>0.00075</code>, set it to that number. As a result, temperatures between 10°C and 21.63°C less than the minimum comfortable temperature all have the same severity growth.
Expressed as a formula, this is:
:<code>Increase in hypothermia severity every 60 ticks = max(0.00075, (degrees_below_comfortable - 10)*0.0000645)</code>

=== Hypothermic slowdown ===
{{quote|A special biological state used by some creatures to survive extreme cold. Instead of trying to stay warm, the creature's body chemistry adapts to prevent internal freezing despite very low temperature. Bodily functions are slowed and capacities are reduced, but the cold does no permanent damage. Some biologists call it a wakeful form of hibernation.}}

[[Insectoids]] avoid hypothermia and experience hypothermic slowdown instead with similar penalties but avoiding death at 100% and no [[frostbite]].

Slowdown value increases many times above 100% with apparently no upper limit. When defrosting insects this total value is used so defrost time is proportional to total time frozen.


The rate of severity growth depends on the difference below the pawn's minimum safe temperature and the ambient temperature. The specific algorithm is:
# Take the amount by which the pawn's minimum safe temperature (which is the [[minimum comfortable temperature]] -10°C) exceeds the ambient temperature.
# Multiply the excess by <code>6.45e-5</code> to obtain the severity growth this interval. Note that unlike hyperthermia, hypothermia calculations don't use a postprocessing curve.
# If the growth is less than <code>0.00075</code>, set it to that number. As a result, temperatures between 10°C and 21.63°C less than the minimum comfortable temperature all have the same severity growth.
Expressed as a formula, this is:
:<code>Increase in hypothermia severity every 60 ticks = max(0.00075, (degrees_below_comfortable - 10)*0.0000645)</code>

=== Vacuum exposure ===
{{Odyssey|section=1}}
Vacuum exposure occurs when a pawn is subjected to [[Orbit|hard vacuum]] without adequate protection.

The rate of severity growth is directly proportional to the vacuum percentage of the pawn's current tile, and to the difference between 1 and a pawn's [[vacuum resistance]] stat. Vacuum will be 100% outside pressurized rooms; otherwise, it will vary depending on the presence of [[oxygen pump]]s, open connections to other rooms, and so on. The specific algorithm is:
# Start with a default of 2% per second.
# Multiply the amount by the tile's current vacuum percentage.
# Multiply the product by the difference between 1 and the pawn's vacuum resistance.
Expressed as a formula, the increase of severity every {{ticks|60}} is:
:<code>Increase in vacuum exposure severity = 0.02 * tile vacuum percentage * (1 - vacuum resistance)</code>

Vacuum exposure builds up extremely quickly in pawns without significant vacuum resistance. An unprotected pawn with no resistance will die in just {{ticks|3000}} of exposure to a complete vacuum, making even brief spacewalks a risky prospect.

Pawns recover quickly from vacuum exposure while inside a pressurized area; severity will simply fall at a flat 10% per second until the condition disappears entirely. Affected pawns that reach 100% vacuum resistance while still exposed (such as by equipping a [[vacsuit]]) will keep their current level of exposure until they return to a pressurized tile, but its severity will not increase any further.

== Pregnancy ==
{{See also|Animals#Mating{{!}}Mating|Animals#Breeding{{!}}Breeding|Reproduction{{!}}Human pregnancy}}
{{quote|This creature is gestating offspring. It will give birth if the pregnancy comes to term. If starved or injured, there may be a miscarriage.|Description}}

Tamed, non-[[human]], non-[[insectoid]], non-[[egg]]laying, female [[animals]] have a 50% chance to get pregnant from [[Animals#Mating|mating]]. While this is not an ailment in the traditional sense, it does have mechanical effects. For the first {{ticks|600}} this condition will be invisible, after which point a message will come up mentioning the pregnancy.

Humans can be pregnant only if the [[Biotech DLC]]{{BiotechIcon}} is enabled. They have a different list of symptoms. See [[Reproduction]] for details.

A pregnant animal suffering from [[malnutrition]] of 25% or higher or that is injured may miscarry. Miscarriages are noted by an in-game message.

Some animals will give birth to multiple young. The probability of this is determined by a curve, and is different for each animal.

The duration, and thus the severity gain per day, depends on the gestation time of the animal in question.

=== Sterilized ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Missing details, sources, mechanics etc. Are there any other causes in humans?}}
{{Quote|This creature's reproductive system has been permanently shut down.|Description}}
[[Animals]] can be sterilized by use of the "Sterilize" [[operation]] to prevent them from being able to reproduce, and the sterilized animal won't attempt to mate with others nor will others attempt to mate with it. [[Egg]] laying animals will stop laying eggs when sterilized. The animal acts as normal in all other ways, including [[milk]] production.

Sterilizing a pregnant animal will not terminate the pregnancy.

The sterilization operation requires [[Medical]] skill of 3 and {{ticks|500}} of work.

Humans with the "Sterilized" health trait can only be healed with a [[healer mech serum]]. Pawns can{{Check Tag|Will?|Is it all failures or just a chance?}} receive the sterilized ailment from a failed vasectomy or IUD insertion.{{BiotechIcon}} It is currently unknown if there are other sources.

== Drug damage ==
These ailments are caused by excess drug use.

=== Cirrhosis ===
A degenerative [[liver]] disease caused by excessive [[alcohol]] consumption.
An otherwise healthy pawn with cirrhosis will have an [[immunity gain speed]] of 70%, making them extremely vulnerable to disease.

Treatment:
* The easiest method of treatment is the [[Organ harvesting|transplantation]] of a new liver. Due to the extreme vulnerability to disease, even if your colony dislikes organ harvesting it may be worth it to replace the livers of valuable pawns as doctors will struggle to get high enough tend qualities on diseases to counterbalance the decreased immunity gain, often needing a very good hospital plus a very good doctor or [[glitterworld medicine]] to do so.
* Other than transplantation, only [[healer mech serum]] and [[unnatural healing]]{{AnomalyIcon}} can cure cirrhosis.

Alcohol [[tolerance]] above '''45%''' imposes a chance to get [[cirrhosis]] in the liver proportional to the tolerance held.

* Kidney chemical damage can be cured by replacing with a non-damaged [[kidney]] or with a [[detoxifier kidney]]{{BiotechIcon}}

* Nullifies all opinions of other pawns
|}

The chance to receive trauma savant on any physical (non-chemical) [[injury]] to the brain is equal to the percentage of the brain damaged multiplied by 0.12. For an adult human, this represents 1.2% chance per point of damage. Animals can also become trauma savants.

A [[Ghoul|Ghoul]]{{AnomalyIcon}} or a humans with the [[Scarless]]{{BiotechIcon}} gene will not get brain scars from damage to their brain, but they still have a chance to become trauma savants. This makes it possible to voluntarily give the condition to a pawn by repeatedly damaging and healing their brain, although this can be time consuming and expensive. For an adult human, the brain will need to take on average 83 points of damage. Using other methods to heal the brain such as the [[Biosculpter pod#Bioregeneration|Bioregeneration cycle]] of the [[biosculpter pod]]{{IdeologyIcon}} is theoretically possible, but prohibitively expensive.

Currently, the most cost-effective known method to damage the brain is to purposefully fail the surgery to remove a [[Painstopper|painstopper]]. Painstoppers are the cheapest brain implant that can be removed. Attempting to remove it costs only one [[herbal medicine]] and failing will not destroy the implant. Performing the operation outside, on a [[Sleeping spot]] or an [[Ancient bed]],{{IdeologyIcon}} in the dark, with a low level surgeon with lowered Sight and Manipulation will maximize the chance for the operation to fail. If the operation accidentally succeeds, then the patient should be moved to a high quality hospital to reinsert the painstopper, as failure would destroy the implant and greatly increase the overall cost. It takes on average between 50 and 100 failed brain operations for a patient to become trauma savant.

Trauma savant negates the [[consciousness]] penalty from all brain damage, including scars that existed before the condition. On another hand, those brain scars will still lower the brain's health and can potentially still cause pain. Also, Trauma savant will not prevent loss of consciousness from other brain conditions like Dementia.

Trauma savant can be healed with a [[healer mech serum]] or the [[Unnatural healing]]{{AnomalyIcon}} ability (or possibly through other means as well). It can also be treated by killing the pawn, [[Skull|removing their skull]]{{IdeologyIcon}} then resurrecting thanks to a [[Resurrector mech serum]] or [[death refusal]]{{AnomalyIcon}}.

==Bliss lobotomy==
{{Anomaly|section = 1}}
{{Main|Bliss lobotomy}}
A whole-body condition that gives a constant +20 mood bonus but imposes a -50% global learning factor penalty. Makes pawn incapable of cooking, construction, plant work, mining, crafting and intellectual. Can generate on [[horax cult|cultist]] raiders or be deliberately induced via a brain surgery at the cost of 2 medicine and 30 [[bioferrite|bioferrites]].

== General ==
These ailments appear in gameplay, and usually wear off on their own (except death-causing ones).

=== Cryptosleep sickness ===
After-effects of using a cryptosleep pod. Cryptosleep suspends and replaces many bodily functions in order to prevent aging and death. Upon exiting cryptosleep, the body takes time to restart and rebalance its natural metabolic processes. While this is ongoing, the patient suffers from nausea, dizziness, and a sense of fuzziness in the mind.

Occurs after having been in a [[ship cryptosleep casket]] or a [[cryptosleep casket]] for any amount of time. The colonists in the "[[Crashlanded]]" scenario have a chance of starting with cryptosleep sickness, as they were in cryptosleep before crashing on the planet.

|}
Treatment:

=== Food poisoning ===
Occurs after eating a contaminated meal or occasionally from raw food. The chance of contamination for cooked meals is primarily determined by the cook's [[food poison chance]] stat, with the [[Cleanliness|cleanliness of the room]] where it was prepared also being a potential factor.

[[Corpse]]s have a flat chance of 5% to give food poisoning. Other raw food has a flat chance in between 1% and 4% depending on the type of food — most raw food having a 2% chance. Cooked meals roll two separate probabilities to determine if the food is poisoned. The first checks the [[cleanliness]] of the kitchen used. See the accompanying graph for specifics. Note that cleanliness above -2 prevents this roll from producing poisoned meals. If the cooking station is outdoors, the default chance is 2%.

If the first roll fails to poison the meal, then a second roll is performed, this time based on the [[food poison chance]] of the pawn, controlled entirely by their [[Cooking|cooking skill]].
If the second roll indicates that the meal is poisonous, the probability of poisoning the pawn is 100% for that individual meal. However, when the poisonous meal is part of a stack with other meals, the probability is distributed among all the meals in the stack. This distribution reduces the chance of food poisoning from 100% to the ratio of total meals to poisonous meals within the stack. For instance, if a poisonous meal is placed on top of a stack containing three non-poisonous meals, the probability for each meal to poison the pawn becomes 25%. Consequently, even if the original meal was poisonous, there is a possibility that no pawns will experience food poisoning.

Because of the penalty to [[blood filtration]] and [[consciousness]], food poisoning in combination with other ailments such as an [[infection]] can be a cause for concern.

; Symptoms and progress:
Food poisoning lasts 24 hours with no after-effects. It has 3 stages: the first unpleasant 4 hours, followed by a crippling 16 hours, and finally an unpleasant 4 hours largely similar to the first stage, as described in the table below.

|}
; Treatment and Prevention
Food poisoning can only be minimized by manipulating the factors that cause it mentioned above. Prevention can only be guaranteed by exclusively consuming meals purchased from traders or by making [[Baby food]] or [[nutrient paste meal]]s as they will never cause food poisoning. Installing a [[sterilizing stomach|sterilizing]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} [[nuclear stomach]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} or [[fleshmass stomach]],{{AnomalyIcon}} or having the [[strong stomach]] gene{{BiotechIcon}} render pawns immune to contracting food poisoning. Note that [[bionic stomach]]s reduce the chance of getting food poisoning by 50% but cannot outright prevent it.

The notification for a colonist being poisoned will explain the cause of the poisoning. This can be very helpful if an unattended kitchen was allowed to cross into the very dirty -2 cleanliness danger zone, as a nearby cleaner can simply be ordered to clean the kitchen and avoid more unnecessary poisoning.

There is no practical treatment for food poisoning, you simply have to let it run its course. [[Healer mech serum]] will cure it (if there is nothing worse to cure), but this costly measure is rarely if ever worthwhile, as food poisoning only affects the pawn for the 24 hour cycle and then leaves them as healthy as they were before. [[Unnatural healing]]{{AnomalyIcon}} is the vastly more economical option, though it carries opportunity cost of the 6 day cooldown.

Because of the high chance of [[vomiting]] at any moment, which interrupts and resets the process of eating, combined with the reduction in eating speed, patients with food poisoning may be at risk of developing [[malnutrition]]. With the already impaired consciousness and moving capacity from the poisoning, stacking malnutrition on top of that could lead to a [[downed]] state, so it may be worth supervising poisoned pawns in case they need rescue. A diet of small unit foods such as [[pemmican]] will not mitigate this issue, as there is no concept of incremental eating - a pawn takes the same time to consume one pemmican as it takes to consume 18 pemmican, and if interrupted part way through, all the pemmican pieces remain uneaten.

=== Toxic buildup ===
Primarily occurs with exposure to [[toxic fallout]], [[pollution]],{{BiotechIcon}} [[tox gas]],{{BiotechIcon}} and tox rain.{{OdysseyIcon}} Prolonged exposure gradually increases the buildup severity.

Alternatively, some attacks cause instantaneous increases in toxic buildup severity, such as [[cobra]] and [[waste rat]] {{BiotechIcon}} bites, the [[venom talon]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} or [[venom fangs]].{{RoyaltyIcon}}

A colonist under a roof is protected from toxic fallout and tox rain, and avoiding interaction with the other sources can prevent buildup from them. If they are exposed to toxic fallout, they will accumulate Toxic Buildup at a rate of 40% per day. Pollution will accumulate at the same rate, but cannot be mitigated through roofing. When walking through polluted terrain in [[caravan]]s, they will accumulate buildup at 20% per day in Moderately Polluted terrain (50%-75% polluted tiles) and 40% per day in Extremely Polluted terrain (above 75%). Buildup from both pollution as well as toxic fallout can stack, meaning a pawn standing in polluted terrain while a toxic fallout can gain 80%/day.{{Check Tag|Rate from tox rain?}}

There are two stats that reduce toxic build up stats:
* All sources of toxic buildup are affected by the [[Toxic Resistance]] [[stat]]. [[Human]]s buildup at the full rate, [[animal]]s at half, and [[insects]] and [[mechanoids]] are immune.{{Check Tag|Body Size?|Buildup severities from Damage types are now inversely proportional to body size, are all sources scaled? Either way, add detail}} Some ways of increasing this stat are the [[detoxifier kidney]]{{BiotechIcon}} and [[tox resistance]] [[gene]].{{BiotechIcon}}
* [[Toxic Environment Resistance]] protects against all sources of buildup except for direct attacks like cobra bites. Some ways of increasing this stat are the [[face mask]], [[gas mask]],{{BiotechIcon}} and [[detoxifier lung]].{{BiotechIcon}}

Both stats reduce the amount of buildup received by the % of the stat, so 50% Toxic Resistance = 50% less build up. Toxic Resistance and Toxic Environment Resistance will multiplicatively stack with each other, so if a human has 50% in both stats, the effective rate of buildup from environmental sources is 25%.

The buildup severity occurs in stages. The later stages cause permanent [[#Dementia|dementia]] which does not wear off even after toxic buildup subsides. When a pawn affected by toxic buildup [[Death|dies]], there is a chance that its corpse will instantly rot - this chance is equal to the severity.

Once a colonist returns to a safe area, such as a roofed area for toxic fallout, or otherwise stops taking severity increases, their buildup severity will gradually decrease. Once no longer exposed, severity reduces by 8% per day, meaning that it will take up to 12.5 days to eliminate all toxins accumulated in the body. However, colonists that reach high stages of toxic buildup are likely to develop further complications.

=== Bio-starvation ===
{{Biotech|section=1}}
{{quote|"This person was in a growth vat which wasn't functioning properly due to lack of power or nutrition feedstock. This has left their body in a state of bio-starvation."|In-game description}}
A pawn in a [[growth vat]] with no power or nutrition, will enter [[bio-starvation]], increasing in severity by 50% per day starved, and decreasing 10% per day properly supplied or spent outside the vat. Bio-starvation increases nutrition consumption in a vat by {{bad|+10%}} at all severities, and [[Death|kills]] at 100%. If a bio-starved pawn leaves the vat, a number of status effects will be applied to them. These include:
* [[Pain]]: {{++|15%}}
* [[Hunger Rate Factor]] offset: {{++|50%}}
* [[Consciousness]]: {{--|25%}}

=== Vomiting ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=what does it interrupt, what happens when different tasks are underway - e.g. eating cancels the eating task but doesn't waste the meal, explanation that vomiting is expressed as mtb etc}}
The body attempting to forcefully expunge toxins. Unfortunately for your pawns, this doesn't work in Rimworld.

Vomiting is caused by a wide variety of ailments{{Check Tag|List Needed?}}, some [[Psycasts]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} or being hit with an EMP while having the [[Sterilizing stomach|Sterilizing]], [[Reprocessor stomach|Reprocessor]], or [[Nuclear stomach|Nuclear]] stomachs{{RoyaltyIcon}} installed.

A pawn that is vomiting will stop in place, face the side, and begin vomiting. Vomiting lasts a random duration from {{Ticks|300}} to {{Ticks|900}}, and every 150 interval ticks it reduces the pawn's food bar by 0.04 and generates 1 stack of [[vomit]] filth on the tile they're facing. Note that this interval tick occurs independently from the beginning of the vomiting duration, and as such the number of times it occurs may not be the simple division of the chose duration divided by 150. As such, between one fewer and one more interval may occur than the the division would indicate. A pawn lying in a bed will not stand up to vomit{{Check Tag|Details|Does this pause the resting bonus from lying down? Does it wake them up?}}.

Vomiting will interrupt most tasks, including eating, walking, aiming a weapon, or working at a station, but they will resume the task once they stop vomiting{{Check Tag|Mechanics|Do pawns who are actively vomiting still reserve the task they were working on?}}. For this reason, it is recommended that pawns who are afflicted with an ailment that causes frequent vomiting, such as [[food poisoning]], eat foods like [[pemmican]], as a pawn who vomits while in the middle of eating a normal meal will lose all progress towards consuming it (note that the meal is not wasted), but a pawn eating pemmican will still consume part of the stack. Similarly, they should also avoid long tasks that have their progress reset on being interrupted, such as cooking 4x [[lavish meal]]s.

=== Crumbling mind ===
{{Anomaly|section = 1}}
{{Spoiler|section = 1}}

The gradual breakdown of the mind. While technically non-fatal, it applies mounting consciousness penalties, and its final stage renders a pawn incapable of nearly all work.

Crumbling mind is caused by two [[Anomaly]] events - The [[Corrupted obelisk]] and the [[Creepjoiner]]. It cannot affect pawns that existed before those events, only ones created by them. It can be detected before ailments show by a surgical inspection.

Creepjoiners with this condition will begin showing symptoms within 2-3.33 days. Duplicated pawns will begin showing them within 12-48 hours. Severity progresses by 33% per day. Progress can be paused through the use of a [[cryptosleep casket]].

Crumbling mind can be cured by a [[healer mech serum]] as well as the [[unnatural healing]] ability so long as it hasn't progressed to the final stage of '''Crumbled mind'''. Once it has, the condition is incurable, short of destroying the colonists brain then resurrecting them with either a [[resurrector mech serum]] or [[death refusal]]. However, consistently destroying the brain can be difficult. There are 5 main ways to achieve it:
* With the [[Biotech DLC]], using a [[Subcore ripscanner]] on the colonist in question will kill it by destroying its brain.
* Also with the Biotech DLC, extracting the pawn's genes with a [[Gene extractor]] while the '''Genes Regrowing''' Hefiff remains active will kill it by brain destruction.
* With the [[Ideology DLC]], extracting the [[skull]] from a dead pawn will destroy its head reliably and safely.
* Fatal [[Luciferium]] withdraw kills by destroying the brain.
* Allow colonists or animals to eat sections of the corpse, risking consuming the entire body before the head is removed.

Furthermore, no matter how successful the head removal, the costs and downsides of the either the serum or refusal remain. If this strategy is used, remember not to euthanize them or they will be no longer of your faction after resurrection.

Counterintuitively, [[Ghoul|ghoul infusion]] will not cure crumbling mind and it will hinder ghoul's combat abilities.

=== Duplicate sickness ===
{{Anomaly|section = 1}}
{{Spoiler|section = 1}}
Psychic interference between this person and their duplicate is causing slow mental deterioration. As long as multiple copies of this person are alive, the condition will keep getting worse. However, the condition will not be lethal.

Duplicate sickness is one of the potential outcomes from the duplication of a pawn by a [[corrupted obelisk]]. It affects both the original pawn and the duplicate{{Check Tag|Wb other duplicates?|Test both a previous duplicate (i.e. use obelisk gizmo, wait cooldown use again) and mass cloning (i.e. when 30 pawns spawn when it reaches max activity}} and is initially hidden. Severity increases by 10% per day that both pawns are alive. A pawn in [[cryptosleep]] will not gain severity, but being in cryptosleep will ''not'' prevent the other copy of the pawn from gaining severity. This gradually reduces the consciousness of both pawns and makes them more likely to have [[mental breaks]], before eventually rendering both comatose.

It cannot be treated,{{Check Tag|Verify}} but can be cured by one of three methods: [[healer mech serum]], the [[unnatural healing]] ability, or the death of one of the two pawns.

If one of the two connected pawns is killed, the other's duplication sickness severity immediately starts regressing at the rate of 50% per day, while the killed pawn's duplication sickness is instantly cured. The killed pawn can then be immediately resurrected with a [[resurrector mech serum]] or [[death refusal]] without stopping the regression of the other pawn's sickness. Similarly, if one of the linked pawns is turned into a [[ghoul]], killed, and revived with a [[ghoul resurrection serum]], the same mechanics apply.

== Surgical ==
These ailments happen with medical operations.

=== Anesthetic ===
Used in surgery to make sure that a pawn is unconscious. It can also be administered outside of operations using a medical bill, consuming medicine.

A pawn under anesthesia is unconscious for the first 6 hours, and the worst effects of anesthetic wear off after 12 hours, so arranging operations to be performed some time just before a pawn needs to sleep is recommended if you want them functioning the next work day.

Prior to 1.1 it lasted only {{ticks|15000}} and did not have any other stages afterwards.

== Resurrection ==
These may occur after a dose of [[resurrector mech serum]] is applied on a [[Death|dead]] pawn.

* Linearly increases to 80% after 5 days decayed

=== Resurrection psychosis ===
Chaotic thought patterns caused by the decoherence of resurrection mechanites. Resurrection psychosis progresses and eventually causes total psychosis and [[death]].

The severity of the psychosis increases by 0.01 per day, meaning that it will kill in 100 days after resurrection, or 90 days after this ailment becoming visible. It can be cured by [[healer mech serum]] or [[unnatural healing]],{{AnomalyIcon}} alternatively resurrection can be attempted again via another [[resurrector mech serum]] or [[death refusal]].{{AnomalyIcon}} It is otherwise uncurable.

'''Treatments:'''
* Healer mech serum
* Allowing the pawn to [[Death|die]] again, then resurrecting once more (rerolls the disease)

'''Probability of contracting:'''
* 2% chance when used at 0.1 days or less of decay
* Linearly increases to 80% after 5 days decayed

'''Prevention:'''
* Freeze corpses immediately after death. Corpses placed in a [[sarcophagus]] are still affected by the temperature of the room they are in, and can be removed later but are protected from butchering, hungry animals and assuming you build the sarcophagus from something [[Flammability|non-flammable]], [[fire]].

== Heart attack ==
Heart attacks can randomly occur on any pawn/animal at any time, but they become more frequent as they pass half of their life expectancy (e.g. 40 years in humans), triggered by the [[Events#Birthday|birthday event]]. There must be 2 or more colonists on your colony for this to occur.

The average interval between heart attacks is curved as follows (in days):
* 0-60% of life expectancy: 99,999,999 - 99,999,999
* 60-80% of life expectancy: 99,999,999 - 2,500
* 80-100% of life expectancy: 2,500 - 300

Examples of intervals and chances:
* 70% of life expectancy (i.e. 56 in humans): 50,001,249.5 days (approx. 0.00000002% per day)
* 90% of life expectancy (i.e. 72 in humans): 1,400 days (approx. 0.000714% per day)

=== Stages ===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Stage !! Begins at !! Symptoms
|-
|'''Painful''' || 0% Severity ||
* [[Consciousness]] ×50%
* [[Pain]] +40%
|-
|'''Debilitating''' || 60% Severity ||
* [[Consciousness]] max. 10% (Unconsciousness)
* [[Pain]] +60%
|-
|'''Fatal''' || 100% Severity ||
* [[Death]]
|}

==== Progression ====
Heart attacks always start at 40% severity. Each interval the heart attack severity will randomly change by a value between {{---|40%}} to {{++|60%}}. This means that it is possible for a heart attack to recover on its own, but usually (~76% likelihood){{Check Tag|Detail needed|How is this calculated??}} an untreated heart attack progresses to fatal severity. The interval between changes is random, and varies between {{Ticks|500}} and {{Ticks|10000}}.

==== Treatment ====
Like injuries, medicine can be used to treat a heart attack.

Doctors treating heart attacks will administer treatments rapidly, consuming medicine in the process. Each treatment has a chance to succeed, reducing the heart attack severity by {{---|30%}}. Successfully reducing severity below 0% will completely treat the heart attack.

The chance a particular treatment can succeed is 65% multiplied by the [[tend quality]], for an effective maximum of 84.5% with [[glitterworld medicine]].

==== Prevention ====
Replacing a pawn's heart with either a [[prosthetic heart|prosthetic]] or [[bionic heart]] will completely prevent heart attacks. Note however that while the bionic heart improves the [[blood pumping]] capacity, the prosthetic heart decreases it, and thus all of the stats and capacities it affects.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/0.7.581|0.7.581]] Added with cataracts and bad back
* [[Version/0.8.657|0.8.657]] - Added hypothermia, frostbite, heatstroke, and burns from being in areas with extreme temperatures.
* [[Version/0.9.722|0.9.722]] - Food poisoning and cryptosleep sickness added. Some ailments can now cause vomiting.
* [[Version/0.10.785|0.10.785]] - Starvation and blood loss are now staged and affect consciousness as they worsen.
* [[Version/0.12.906|0.12.906]] - All organisms including animals have life expectancies and will develop chronic conditions like frailty or cataracts in old age. Heart attacks added.
* [[Version/0.13.1135|0.13.1135]] - Carcinoma, asthma, and hearing loss added.
* [[Version/1.0.0|1.0.0]] - Minor starvation (below 25% severity) no longer causes miscarriages.
* [[Version/1.1.0|1.1.0]] - Pregnant animal is no longer viewed as sick because pregnancy affects its capacities. and thus now sells for the same as one with no health conditions.
* [[Version/1.3.3117|1.3.3117]] - Extreme blood loss now reduces consciousness by 40% in addition to setting the capacity's max to 10%. Prior to this, pawns could nonsensically [[Death|die]] by healing from extreme to severe bloodloss if their consciousness was below 40% from other symptoms - extreme would simply max it at 10% but healing to severe would reduce it by 40% to 0% and kill the pawn.
* [[Version/1.4.3523|1.4.3523]] - Sterilized animals no longer lay eggs.
* [[Version/1.6.4518|1.6.4518]] - Vacuum exposure implemented with [[Odyssey]].

Template:Trap Note

2026-04-04T17:43:23Z

Cauterite: Explain the situations when colonists will stand on their own traps

<includeonly>Traps are single use security buildings that may be triggered when a pawn of any kind walks over it.
* The base trigger chance is 100% for enemies, including mechanoids and animals affected by the [[Mental break#Manhunter|manhunter]] mental state. Note that despite the name, animals currently hunting a human pawn for food are not "manhunters" and are not considered enemies.
* Non-manhunting wild animals have a {{#if:{{#pos:{{PAGENAME}}|Trap}}|20% chance to trigger spike traps and 5% chance to trigger IED traps|{{#if: {{#pos:{{PAGENAME}}|IED}}|5%|20%}} chance to trigger the trap}}.
* Wild men have a 30% chance to trigger the trap.
* Colonists, tame animals, slaves and friendly mechs have 0.5% (one in 200) chance to trigger the trap.
* Friendly visitors and their animals, hostile raiders and their animals aware of your traps, as well as [[revenant]]s{{AnomalyIcon}} and [[sightstealer]]s{{AnomalyIcon}} will never trigger a trap.

However, colonists, friendly visitors, non-manhunting animals and wild men are aware of the location of traps. On top of that, participants of sapper raids, smart raid, and smart breaching raids will know location of 30% of your traps. Anyone aware of where the traps are located will avoid pathing over them if reasonably practical. The trap's path cost is equivalent to 40 if the pawn has knowledge of the trap.

Colonists will intentionally stand on a trap in the process of uninstalling or deconstructing the trap, at the risk of triggering it. They can also walk on traps when hauling items which happen to be on the same tile, when ordered onto the tile while drafted, or when the only path to their destination requires crossing the trap. Roped animals being dragged by a handler may be forced to walk over traps - the rope limits their movement, overriding their usual behavior.

Prisoners are considered to be their original faction for the purposes of traps. Enemies who you have taken prisoner will retain their 100% trap trigger rate and will ignore traps when pathfinding. Colonists that you have taken prisoner retain their 0.5% trap trigger rate, even during a prison break, and will avoid traps whenever possible.

In all instances, a pawn's [[trap spring chance]] stat multiplies the above trigger chances for that pawn. Currently, the only thing that does this is the [[Nimble]] trait which multiplies the chance by 10%, that is, a 10% chance for nimble enemies, 0.05% chance for nimble colonists, and 3% chance for nimble wild men.{{#if: {{#pos:{{PAGENAME}}|IED}}| IEDs can also be triggered when hit by a projectile dealing the [[Damage types#Bullet|Bullet]], [[Damage types#Arrow|Arrow]], or [[Damage types#ArrowHighVelocity|ArrowHighVelocity]] damage type, or when damaged below 20% of their maximum HP.}}</includeonly><noinclude>{{Documentation}}</noinclude>

'''Rusted beds''' are [[ruins]] added by the [[Odyssey DLC]]. They can be used as a bed and have no [[quality]].

== Summary ==
{{For|a description of mechanics shared by all sleep furniture|Sleep furniture#Mechanics{{!}}Sleep furniture mechanics}}
{{PAGENAME}}s are a form of [[sleep furniture]]. One pawn can sleep on one at a time.

=== Rest Effectiveness ===
[[Rest Effectiveness]] is a measure how fast a pawn will regain [[rest]]. A pawn sleeping in a bed with 80% rest effectiveness would regain rest 80% as fast, and thus require 125% time to sleep.

{{Rest Effectiveness Quality Table}}

=== Comfort ===
[[Comfort]] is a measure of how high a pawn can refill their comfort meter while using the piece of furniture. A pawn sleeping in a bed with a higher comfort value can achieve a higher level. It does not affect the rate at which comfort increases only the maximum level. Comfort levels over 100% have no additional effect. Rusted beds do not benefit from [[end table]]s or [[dresser]]s.

{{Comfort Quality Table}}

=== Surgery Success Chance Factor ===
The [[Surgery Success Chance Factor]] is exactly what it sounds like - a multiplier on the chance for a successful surgery, assuming it is performed in an rusted bed. Most beds and bedrolls have a base value of 100%, which is multiplied by [[quality]]. Construction material does not matter. Rusted beds have no quality, and are always considered to have a ×100% multiplier to their base value.

{{Surgery Success Chance Factor Quality Table}}

=== Healing ===
A pawn resting in a {{lc:{{PAGENAME}}}} of any quality will have their [[Immunity Gain Speed]] multiplied by {{Bad|x{{P|Immunity Gain Speed Factor}}}} and heal an additional {{+|5}} HP from [[injury|injuries]] per day.

== Analysis ==
The '''rusted bed''' is near identical in terms of [[Rest Effectiveness]] to an awful quality non [[stone blocks]] [[bed]], or to a poor quality stone blocks bed. [[Comfort]]-wise, it is equivalent to an awful quality bed of any material. Despite being a bed, using it does not prevent the {{Thought|desc=I had to sleep on the ground like an animal.|label=slept on ground|value=-4|stack=1}} penalty. It also has the worst [[Surgery Success Chance Factor]] of all beds, including [[sleeping spot]]s, and one of the worst [[Immunity gain speed|Immunity Gain Speed Factor]]s. As such, it only has only 2 advantages over a [[sleeping spot]]:
* It has a higher injury healing rate than a sleeping spot ({{+|5}} vs {{+|4}})
* It has a slightly higher [[comfort]], 0.57 vs 0.40.

Therefore, rusted beds are only viable if regular beds are impossible to procure. Such a case would require an entire colony incapable of [[Construction]], a critical shortage of raw materials to make beds, or a [[New Tribe]] without [[textile]]s, the former two cases being rather unlikely. Even in such a case, the humble sleeping spot will be better for most medical uses with the sole exception of healing injuries (albeit barely). Due to the previously stated reasons, rusted beds have little practical use.

Auto mortar

An '''auto mortar''' is a hostile [[building]] that appears in [[mech cluster]]s and autonomously launches explosives similar to a manned [[mortar]].

== Occurrence ==
Auto mortars only spawn in mech clusters. Like the [[condition causer]]s, it counts as a cluster's problem causer, of which each can cluster can only have one. It generates four times more often than the other problem causers, but only costs the cluster 220 combat points rather than 750, so the cluster will have more other threats.

They cannot be claimed by the player, and must be destroyed for the cluster to be considered defeated.

== Summary ==
The auto mortar fires shells equivalent to [[high explosive shell]]s, which explode as normal to deal 50 [[Damage type#Bomb|Bomb]] damage in a 2.9-tile radius but do not require restocking or reloading. Like normal [[mortar]]s, it has a forced miss radius of 10 tiles, and if you [[roof]] over it, it can't fire. Note that unlike normal mortars, its forced miss radius does not increase to 13 if the [[Classic mortars]] storyteller option is enabled. Valid targets appear to be colonists, buildings and, unlike [[siege]] [[mortar]]s, player owned animals.

Like all turrets, they are temporarily disabled by sources of [[EMP]], with downtime scaling to the EMP damage dealt. Unlike mechanoids, auto mortars do not adapt to EMP and thus can be continuously restunned.

[[File:Turret medium blast.png|thumb|Explosion blast area (orange cells) of the auto mortar (white cells)]]
If it is damaged beyond 20% HP (52 HP) it may explode but it is not a certainty. The mortar will spark and emit a hissing sound shortly before exploding {{ticks|240}} later. The explosion deals 50 [[Damage Type#Bomb|Bomb]] damage in a 4.9 tile radius centered around the mortar's bottom left cell.

They are a source of the [[reinforced barrel]]s needed to construct mortars. Reinforced barrels will not spawn if the [[Classic mortars]] storyteller option is enabled.

Like all mech cluster buildings, they not only have a [[Flammability]] of 0%, but also take no damage from attacks with the [[Damage Types|Flame]] damage type. This is in contrast to, for example, a [[stone]] [[wall]] which will not be ignited by [[molotov cocktails]] but will take the 10 flame damage from the initial attack.

Auto mortars must be destroyed for the mech cluster to be defeated.

Unlike mortars built by the player auto mortars can fire in the orbit layer.

== Analysis ==
Auto mortars are like a [[siege]] which lasts until the building is completely destroyed. Even a few rounds can blow up your supplies, production facilities, and walls, making it an extremely high priority threat. Like other condition causers, it can start immediately active or remain dormant for a few days. Waking up a mech cluster will not cause the auto mortar to immediately start firing.

If the mech cluster doesn't have a [[proximity activator]], then you may be able to roof over the auto mortar. You can use the cluster's own walls, or place a wall or column 3 tiles away from any mech or mech building - this is far enough to not trigger the cluster. The action of placing roof will not aggravate the mechs, either. Unless the wall is destroyed, you'll be safe from the auto mortar.

Rusted double bed

'''Rusted double beds''' are [[ruins]] added by the [[Odyssey DLC]]. They can be used as a bed and have no [[quality]].

== Summary ==
{{For|a description of mechanics shared by all sleep furniture|Sleep furniture#Mechanics{{!}}Sleep furniture mechanics}}
{{PAGENAME}}s are a form of [[sleep furniture]]. Up to two pawns can sleep on one at a time.

=== Rest Effectiveness ===
[[Rest Effectiveness]] is a measure how fast a pawn will regain [[rest]]. A pawn sleeping in a bed with 80% rest effectiveness would regain rest 80% as fast, and thus require 125% time to sleep.

{{Rest Effectiveness Quality Table}}

=== Comfort ===
[[Comfort]] is a measure of how high a pawn can refill their comfort meter while using the piece of furniture. A pawn sleeping in a bed with a higher comfort value can achieve a higher level. It does not affect the rate at which comfort increases only the maximum level. Comfort levels over 100% have no additional effect. Rusted double beds do not benefit from [[end table]]s or [[dresser]]s.

{{Comfort Quality Table}}

=== Surgery Success Chance Factor ===
The [[Surgery Success Chance Factor]] is exactly what it sounds like - a multiplier on the chance for a successful surgery, assuming it is performed in an rusted double bed. Most beds and bedrolls have a base value of 100%, which is multiplied by [[quality]]. Construction material does not matter. Rusted double beds have no quality, and are always considered to have a ×100% multiplier to their base value.

{{Surgery Success Chance Factor Quality Table}}

=== Healing ===
A pawn resting in a {{lc:{{PAGENAME}}}} of any quality will have their [[Immunity Gain Speed]] multiplied by {{Bad|x{{P|Immunity Gain Speed Factor}}}} and heal an additional {{+|5}} HP from [[injury|injuries]] per day.

== Analysis ==
The '''rusted double bed''' is near identical in terms of [[Rest Effectiveness]] to an awful quality non [[stone blocks]] [[bed]], or to a poor quality stone blocks bed. [[Comfort]]-wise, it is equivalent to an awful quality bed of any material. Despite being a bed, using it does not prevent the {{Thought|desc=I had to sleep on the ground like an animal.|label=slept on ground|value=-4|stack=1}} penalty. It also has the worst [[Surgery Success Chance Factor]] of all beds, including [[sleeping spot]]s, and one of the worst [[Immunity gain speed|Immunity Gain Speed Factor]]s. As such, it only has only 2 advantages over a [[sleeping spot]]:
* It has a higher injury healing rate than a sleeping spot ({{+|5}} vs {{+|4}})
* It has a slightly higher [[comfort]], 0.57 vs 0.40.

Therefore, rusted double beds are only viable if regular beds are impossible to procure. Such a case would require an entire colony incapable of [[Construction]] or a critical shortage of raw materials to make beds, both cases rather unlikely. Even in such a case, the humble sleeping spot will be better for most medical uses with the sole exception of healing injuries (albeit barely). Due to the previously stated reasons, rusted double beds have little practical use.

Ideoligion

2026-04-03T12:12:01Z

Cauterite: add criteria for the 'Sowed human food plant' mood

{{Ideology}}
{{Stub|reason=Add Nomadic and space habitat precept. Shipborn meme requirements/associated not implemented. traders guild}}
'''Ideoligions''' are both a system of mechanics introduced by, and the primary focus of, the [[Ideology DLC]]. They allow colonies to introduce a variety of new restrictions and capabilities to change gameplay, as well as new interactions with other factions.
{{TOCright}}

== Type of ideoligion ==
Whenever you start a new game, you will see the Ideology selection menu once you've selected a world tile.

* '''Ideology system inactive''' - Disables most of the Ideology system. Player colonies and factions will no longer have any ideoligion. With this option, you can create any ''style'', or cosmetic variant, of building (click the circle icon in the [[Architect]] tab, right next to the search bar).
:However, some aspects of the ideoligion system remain. You can still assign a [[Leader]], and will have access to a funeral and 2 [[ritual]]s - a dance party and drum party.{{Check Tag|Verify|Extremely quick testing}} In addition, there will be 3 randomized [[relic]]s that you can search for.

* '''Create ideoligion (fluid)''' - Design an ideoligion that can change over time.
:A fluid ideoligion only has access to 1 [[meme]] at the start of the game, which cannot be a high impact meme. Otherwise, a fluid ideoligion has the same customization options as a fixed ideoligion. The difference is that a fluid ideology can change over the course of the game. As you gain [[#Development points|development points]], you can add / remove memes, and re-customize just about everything else.

* '''Create ideoligion (fixed)''' - Design an ideoligion with complete control.

* '''Presets''' - Use an ideoligion already created for you. Want to live under the mountain, but don't want to make a full ideoligion? Pick the "Mole people" preset. You will start with a Funeral and 2 other random [[ritual]]s, as well as a random [[relic]]. Other aspects of the ideoligion will also be randomized.
:For example, the "Classic-like" preset will have the following precepts:
<div style="column-count:2; width:600px">
* [[#Corpses|Corpses: Ugly]]
* [[#Insect meat|Insect meat: Despised]]
* [[#Marriage name|Marriage name: Usually man's]]
* [[#Eating nutrient paste|Eating nutrient paste: Disgusting]]
* [[#Physical love|Physical love: Free]]
* [[#Women's spouses|Women's spouses: One only]]
* [[#Men's spouses|Men's spouses: One only]]
</div>

=== Development points ===
{{For|a guide for how to convert a non-fluid ideoligion to a fluid ideoligion via save editing|Fluid ideoligion save conversion guide}}
Fluid ideoligions are mostly the same as a static one, but can be changed over time through development points. When you have enough points, you can reform the ideoligion. It costs 10 points for the first reformation, and increases by +2 per reform until a max of 20 points. You cannot "store" points; once you can reform, no more points are gained.

Development points can be obtained in the following ways:
* Performing [[rituals]]. Rituals will give a varying amount of points depending on if they are "anytime" rituals or "dated" rituals, how many rituals the ideoligion has and the quality of the ritual. If a ritual achieves a goal that awards development points (such as a conversion), both the points for the goal and the ritual are received in full. Anytime rituals (including funerals) give 1 point for a good outcome and 2 points for a great outcome.
Dated rituals grant more points the fewer rituals the ideoligion has, -as detailed below- however Funerals, Gladiator Duels, Blinding, and Scarification rituals '''''Do not''''' count for the following table.

* [[#Slavery|Slavery: Honorable]]: Enslaving new prisoner: 1 point
* [[#Gauranlen connection|Gauranlen Connection: Strong]]: Planting gauranlen tree: 1 point

Reformation allows you to add ''or'' remove 1 meme, ''or'' change the structure of your ideoligion. If you add a meme, you cannot remove / replace another meme or change structure. In addition, you can only add 1 [[style]] at a time. All other changes are unlimited.

== Forming an ideoligion ==
An ideoligion consists of many separate aspects to customize:

'''Primary'''
* '''[[#Structure|Structure]]''' - What deities (or lack thereof) that followers believe in. Examples include ''Abstract theist'', that "god(s) are formless and everywhere", or ''Christian origin'', which is closer to the Abrahamic religions of the west. Structure helps determine the randomized names and lore of your ideoligion. This is almost entirely cosmetic, but can add a few ritual options.

* '''[[#Memes|Memes]]''' - The basic beliefs of the ideoligion. An ideoligion with the ''Cannibal'' meme will definitely enjoy human meat. Each ideoligion can have up to 4 memes. Most memes do not add much on their own, but affect what precepts the ideoligion has and cannot have. Some memes have access to [[roles|specialists]].

* '''[[#Precepts|Precepts]]''' - What a follower's belief systems are. Precepts directly determine how colonists will react to certain actions. An ideoligion with ''Cannibalism: Preferred'' will have followers enjoy eating human meat. An ideoligion with ''Cannibalism: Required (Ravenous)'' will want to eat human meat for every meal.
:Certain precepts have statistical effects beyond mood. For instance, ''Drugs: Essential'' boosts drug crop yield, synthesis speed, and sell price. These tend to be locked behind their associated meme.

'''Secondary'''
* '''[[Rituals]]''' - Special occasions, from Dance Party to Animal Sacrifice to Funerals. Every time you do a ritual, you can end up with a good or bad outcome. Good outcomes will increase colonist [[mood]], and come with a special, defined reward. For example, a spectacular festival can give you a random recruit, or cause a [[gauranlen pod]] to sprout.

:You can increase the chances of a good outcomes by following the ritual's requirements. A funeral can be done without your colonist's body, but the quality will be increased if the corpse is buried.

* '''[[#Roles|Roles]]''' - Every ideoligion has a Leader and Moral Guide. From there, you can have up to 2 types of specialists. A Shooting Specialist will be great at ranged combat, but is unable to do many types of skilled work. Note that you can have as many specialists of a specific type as you want. For example, you can have 3 Shooting Specialists in a single colony, but cannot have a Shooting, Plants, AND Research specialist in the same ideoligion.

* '''[[Relic]]s''' - Ideoligions can have relics. Relics can be either Legendary [[quality]] weapons or specific types of items that serve no other purpose. Relics must be found from a specific, multi-part relic hunt quest, which can take many years. Having a relic present will cause a number of benefits.

* '''Buildings''' - Buildings used by your ideoligion: [[altar]]s, [[sacrificial flag]]s, etc. Largely used for rituals. Altars and the like will eventually be demanded by followers of your ideoligion in a temple room.

* '''Preferences''' - Ideoligions can prefer [[apparel]], [[weapon]]s, and [[xenotype]]s,{{BiotechIcon}} as well as venerate specific [[animal]]s. Colonists will like having/being around preferred items. Whether a colonist will dislike a non-preferred item is dependent on the preference in question.

'''Descriptive'''
* '''[[#Styles|Styles]]''' - How buildings made by an ideoligious builder will look. Largely cosmetic. However, it interacts with the Diversity of Thought precept. If colonists are neutral or bigoted, then they will enjoy being near styles of the same ideoligion. If colonists appreciate Diversity of Thought, they will enjoy being near styled buildings that their ideoligion could not make. Certain styles will affect more or less buildings.

* '''[[#Cultures|Cultures]]''' - Roughly where your ideoligion comes from. Astropolitian represents those coming from space. Corunan represents [[New Tribe|tribes]] in general. Entirely cosmetic.

* '''Lore''' - A randomly generated description of the ideoligion, based off of memes, structures, cultures, etc. Entirely cosmetic.

* '''Icon / color''' - An ideoligion's icon is used whenever an ideology will be displayed. The color of the icon will be a preferred color for followers. Followers gain a {{+|1}} moodlet for wearing their ideology's color, or their own favorite color. All colors require [[dye]] and the same amount of dye.

== Certainty ==
{{Main|Certainty}}

'''Certainty''' is how willing a colonist is to maintain their current ideoligion. Conversion attempts reduce certainty. Once certainty hits 0%, a pawn's ideology will change.

== Structure ==
Choosing your structure affects which symbols the game uses for your ideoligion, and allows for the selection of some rituals that would otherwise require specific memes. It also influences some random generation options and flavor text but these can be overridden by player selection.

Additionally, the [[Ancient]] factions, [[Outlander refugee group]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} [[Beggars]],{{IdeologyIcon}} [[Pilgrims]],{{IdeologyIcon}} and the [[Horax cult]]{{AnomalyIcon}} do not have any culture assigned to them; therefore they may use any existing one randomly.

== Styles ==
{{recode|section=1|reason=Use collapsibles to allow a non-intrusive display of the styles where the reader can tab between the styles}}
An ideoligion can have 0-3 associated styles. People belonging to that ideoligion will apply those styles when making specific items. Colonists will get thoughts based on the styles of the objects around them, depending on their ideoligion's [[#Diversity of thought|diversity of thought]] precept either for having surroundings match or not match their ideoligion. Neutral surroundings produce no thought. If multiple styles of an ideoligion affect the same object, left-most applies. Note that building appearance in the construction menu will be based on your primary ideoligion, but the actual building might be different if built by a pawn of a different ideoligion.

=== Style dominance ===
Pawns consider objects with style dominance within 27 tiles outdoors, or in the same room regardless of distance. An item is considered "uniform" if pawn's ideoligion can build it, and "diverse" otherwise, regardless of the actual style: for example, a totemic table will be considered diverse for an ideoligion with morbid and totemic styles, because the morbid style overrides totemic tables. If the total style dominance of uniform or diverse objects is at least 10 more than the other category, pawns will get an appropriate thought; the actual style of the object does not matter for stacking either: a morbid slab and a totemic slab in the same room will be uniform for an ideoligion with both styles, cancel each other out and give no thought for an ideoligion with one of those styles, and diverse for an ideoligion with neither.

An ideoligion with no styles would still consider its own buildings (such as ideogram), but not ritual seats, to be uniform.

Clothing, whether worn or placed on the ground, and uninstalled objects have no impact on style dominance.

== Memes ==
You must choose one to four memes at the beginning of your playthrough to form the foundational ideas of your ideoligion. Some have much more gameplay impact than others. Hovering over a meme will show you the information in this table.

<nowiki/>* Appears on faction's options but conflicts with required meme 
<nowiki/>** Since only two memes available, one of Individualist OR Collectivist must be chosen 
<nowiki/>*** Only restricts what memes can be auto-generated and loaded from saved ideoligions, can otherwise lack or possess any memes

=== Natural goodwill with other factions ===
Additionally, Supremacist and Raider have {{Bad|-50}} with everyone, Loyalist {{Bad|-10}} with everyone, and Guilty {{Good|+10}} with everyone. There is a {{Good|+10}} bonus for having the same ideoligion.

Modifiers stack, but each pair only applies once; for example Flesh purity + Cannibal vs Flesh purity + Cannibal give {{Good|+10}} for Flesh purity/Flesh purity, {{Good|+10}} for Cannibal/Cannibal, and {{Good|+10}} for Flesh purity/Cannibal.

Roles are positions available to pawns that grant them both special benefits and drawbacks. Every ideoligion has at least two roles: [[Leader]] and [[Moral guide]]. There can be only 1 '''leader''' globally, and 1 '''moral guide''' per ideoligion.

</div>

Additionally, each ideoligion grants up to 2 types of [[specialist]]s; a role that grants large bonuses and abilities related to a specific field in exchange of inability of doing one or more types of work. This limitation only applies to the type of specialization, not the total number of specialists.

== Rituals ==
{{Main|Rituals}}

{{Ritual table}}

== Relics ==
{{Main|Relic}}
Relics are objects revered by your ideoligion that require a series of quests in order to be obtained. These are always of legendary quality, when applicable. Relics grant various bonuses, both when found and when present in rituals, some of which require being placed in a [[Reliquary]]. A relic being lost causes a malus of {{Thought|desc=The relic has been lost! A travesty!|label=relic lost|value=-5|stack=5|duration=30}} while a relic being destroyed causes a malus of {{Thought|desc=The relic was destroyed! A travesty!|label=relic destroyed|value=-5|stack=5|duration=30}}.

When placed in a Reliquary, pilgrims of your ideoligion will visit your colony to pay reverence to the relic.

== Buildings ==
Ideoligions can add special buildings that are required for either rituals or as statues of that ideologion.

=== Ritual seat ===
Ideologions can have a maximum of 1 type of ritual seat.

== Weapon preferences ==
Ideoligion can have one or several pairs of noble and despised weapons types. Weapon pairs can't be combined if they overlap.

Wielding a noble weapon grants +3 mood while wielding a despised one grants -5.

Killing any pawn{{Check Tag|Verify}} with a noble weapon grants +3 mood for 1 day{{Check Tag|Thought Template|Convert to thought template}} while using a despised one to attack anything - including objects - grants -5 for 2 days.{{Check Tag|Thought Template|Convert to thought template}}

== Apparel preferences ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Missing several details inc but not limited to how it spawns on pawns}}

=== Apparel type combinations ===
Some kinds of [[apparel]] can be set as desired apparel.
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Apparel type !! Name
|-
| [[Apparel#Headgear|Headgear]] || [[Authority_cap|Authority cap]], [[Beret]], [[Bowler_hat|Bowler hat]], [[Broadwrap]], [[Ceremonial_hood|Ceremonial hood]], [[Cowboy_hat|Cowboy hat]], [[Face_mask|Face mask]], [[Flophat]], [[Headwrap]], [[Hood]], [[Ritual_mask|Ritual mask]], [[Shadecone]], [[Slicecap]], [[Tailcap]], [[Torture_crown|Torture crown]], [[Tribal_headdress|Tribal headdress]], [[Tuque]], [[Veil]], [[Visage_mask|Visage mask]], [[War_mask|War mask]]

|}
The player can set any of these pieces to be desired for men, women, or both, and can choose between a relaxed and strong desire. Multiple kinds (a maximum of 9 {{Check Tag|Verify?|Verify what's the limit?}}) of apparel can be chosen. You can select both a relaxed and a strong desire for the same gender / apparel type combination, for example, a female relaxed headgear and a female strong headgear. Note that selecting the same apparel type and preference twice will result in a conflict, for example, if you select a female: strong cowboy hat and an everyone: strong hood. To maximize the number of available desired apparel:
{| class="wikitable"

|-
| [[Apparel#Outer|Outer]] || Everyone: relaxed Everyone: strong
|}

=== Mood effects ===

Wearing a desired apparel or a certain color has mood effect on the pawn.

==== Desired apparel ====

Pawns that are wearing all of their desired apparel will gain a small mood bonus of {{+|1}} for a relaxed desire, and {{+|2}} for a strong desire. There is no difference in the mood bonus for having multiple pieces of desired apparel in the ideology, the bonus is only for wearing all of their desired apparel. Unlike role-specific apparel, there is no mood penalty for not wearing desired apparel.

==== Color mood effect ====

Ideoligions have an ideoligion color. Pawns gain a gain a {{+|1}} mood buff if more than 60% of a colonist's apparel is their favorite color or the color of their ideoligion. If their favorite color and their ideoligion's color are the same, they will gain both mood buffs for a total of {{+|2}}. For a full list of valid apparel color options, see the [[Dye]] page.

The color of the ideoligion can be set at generation, while a pawn's favorite color is determined when the pawn is generated.{{Check Tag|Children?|Confirm when children gain a favorite color}} Apparel can be dyed at the [[styling station]] for one [[dye]] per piece of apparel. Note that unlike with preferred apparel, outside of the [[Man in Black]] event, pawns will not necessarily spawn wearing color that matches their ideoligion or preferred colors.

=== Spawning ===

Pawns that have an ideologion with desired apparel may spawn wearing it. The criteria for this are not fully understood, but pawnkinds that do not spawn with apparel that occupies the coverage and layer of the item preferred by the ideoligion appear to always spawn with the item. If the pawnkind does have conflicting apparel that may, or is required to, spawn, then a portion of those pawnkinds will spawn with the apparel. This can lead to knock-on effects, such as some Empire [[Empire#Cataphract|Cataphracts]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} spawning with hats in place of their [[cataphract helmet|helmets]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} making them weaker in combat. Note that this also applies to colonist spawns, including at game start. In any case, it is unknown if this is limited by the apparel value limits imposed on some pawnkinds.

== Xenotype preferences ==
{{Biotech|section=1}}
{{Stub|section=1|reason= Needs proper write up. Test if specific to Sanguophage or the implanter gene. Also [[Template: Thought]]}}
Believers consider this xenotype to hold a higher moral or spiritual status than others. They will be happy if their colony has only preferred xenotypes. However, having any preferred xenotypes means that all other xenotypes are considered disliked and believers will be unhappy living alongside them.

Up to three [[Xenotypes]] can be selected as preferred xenotypes, including baseliner and a custom xenotype. If at least one is selected then a positive mood will be generated if every colonist is a preferred type, but a negative scaling mood if even one colonist is not a preferred type.

Believers will not accept becoming a non-preferred xenotype via reimplant ability or [[xenogerm]]s. If [[Sanguophage]] is not a preferred type and at least one other preferred type is set, colonists will refuse Sanguophage xenogerm implantation and quests that award Sanguophage xenogerm will fail to give the reward.{{Check Tag|Fail?|Will not offer that as a reward? Will generate as a reward but not give it? Will not generate the quest? Will not generate the option that would be to receive the xenogerm? Will replace it with something else?}}

Opinion:
* Preferred xenotype: {{+|10}}
* Disliked xenotype: {{--|30}}

Mood:
* All preferred xenotype: {{+|2}}
* Some disliked xenotypes: {{--|2}}
* Many disliked xenotypes: {{--|3}}
* Tons of disliked xenotypes: {{--|4}}
* I am disliked xenotype<: {{--|6}}

== Venerated animals ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=General stub. Also: Check body size requirements. Add Table of options with bodysize and hunger/body size}}
{{Quote|This animal is considered by believers to hold a special spiritual or moral status, which means it must be venerated and may never be harmed.|Description}}
An ideoligion can have up to 18 venerated [[animal]]s.

Colonists will not hunt or attack venerated animals with ranged weapons (but will attack them in melee), unless the animal is in manhunter mood. They will not slaughter tame venerated animals.

Colonists will butcher venerated animals without any issue, but will refuse to eat their [[meat]] or any meal made with it (including meals stacked together), even when starving. They can be manually ordered to eat such food, but will get -8 mood for 5 days. If a colonist that venerates an animal is unconscious, other colonists (of any ideoligion) will not feed them such food, and '''cannot''' be manually ordered to do so. Colonists take no issue using [[leather]], [[wool]], [[milk]], or [[eggs]] of the venerated animal.

Colonists will get -5 mood for 5 days if a tame venerated animal dies for any reason. Releasing tame animals is fine.

Colonists will get a positive thought for the amount of tame venerated animals in the colony, depending on their total body size divided by the total number of colonists: +2 for 1 or more, +3 for 2 or more, +4 for 4 or more, and +5 for 6 or more. In case of multiple venerated animals, all their body sizes are added together, producing a single thought. All colonists are counted for this, but only those of an appropriate ideoligion will get the thought.

Despite being tameable, [[Insectoids]] cannot be selected as a venerated animal.

Venerated animals are twice as easy to tame.

== Hair and tattoos ==
An ideoligion has associated hairstyles, beards, and tattoos. Specific hairstyles and tattoos may be allowed for men, women, or either. Some of those may be more or less common.

Newly spawned pawns of an ideoligion will always have matching appearance.

If pawn's hairstyle, beard, or tattoo do not match what their ideoligion allows (usually as a result of a conversion), they will try to use [[styling station]] on their free time to automatically change their looks, and will have a {{--|2}} mood penalty{{Check Tag|Thought Template}} until they do so. They can also be sent to adjust their appearance manually.

An '''unnatural corpse''' is an advanced [[entity]] that can threaten your colony. It will haunt one of your colonists until it is ready to strike. Its arrival unlocks [[Research#Death_refusal|Death refusal]] as an anomaly research option.

== Acquisition ==
There are two ways to acquire an unnatural corpse:
* The [[Mysterious cargo]] quest involves either a friendly planetary faction{{Check Tag|Which factions?|Confirmed: Star Empire, any others?}} or an anonymous AI asking you to take an unspecified item off their hands, along with a sizable payment. One of the randomly selected options for the cargo is the unnatural corpse. For further information about the quest, see that page. The unnatural corpse appears with a blue "Mysterious Cargo" letter when it lands on your map.
* Performing the [[void provocation]] ritual can result in the appearance of a unnatural corpse on your map. The [[monolith]] must be at least at Level 2 for the unnatural corpse to appear after a void provocation. The corpse appears with an orange "Strange Corpse" letter when it appears on your map this way.

== Summary ==
The unnatural corpse is a dead copy of one of your colonists or guests. While relatively harmless at first, after 12-16 days, it will awaken and seek to kill its target. It is ''highly recommended'' you research and destroy the corpse as fast as possible, as it is nearly impossible to stop when it is awakened.

=== Unawakened behavior ===
Before awakening, the unnatural corpse is treated as a regular [[corpse]] item, including the regular mood debuffs for seeing it. It is a near-identical copy of the target, but will lack artificial body parts like [[bionics]], although it will keep any [[flesh whip]]s and [[flesh tentacle]]s the original target has. It cannot be resurrected by any means, such as [[resurrector mech serum]] or [[deadlife dust]] from any source, including [[death pall]]s; attempting to do so displays a message stating ''"Failed to resurrect <PAWNNAME>. It simply does not respond."''

The corpse's existence causes a {{--|6}} mood penalty on the chosen target, and its presence can cause random [[mental breaks]] in them,{{Check Tag|MTB?|Frequency of the mental breaks?}} such as [[corpse obsession]] and [[insane ramblings]].

The corpse can be be temporarily destroyed through any regular means, such as butchering, animal eating, explosions, and so on. However, the original pawn suffer a "Corpse Torment" hediff every time the corpse is destroyed, knocking them unconscious for 24 hours and inflicting {{++|20%}} [[pain]]. The corpse will reappear after the 24 hours have passed, following the rules of teleportation ([[#Teleportation|see below]]).

Temporarily destroying the corpse will not reset or slow down the awakening timer. The study timer does reset, though, so destroying the corpse can be done to study faster at the cost of disabling the original target.

Studying the unnatural corpse and gaining 8 to 12 advanced anomaly research from it will unlock the ability to destroy it permanently, yielding one [[shard]].

If the original pawn dies, the corpse will vanish shortly after. If the original pawn is no longer available (i.e. it has targeted a guest who leaves before it can awaken) then it will disappear after seven days.

=== Teleportation ===
The corpse will sometimes silently teleport itself near the original, which is uniquely affected by the camera of the game: the corpse will attempt to teleport only if it is out of camera shot, and it can only land at a point out of camera shot. By zooming out or always looking at the corpse, it won't teleport. In addition, it cannot teleport while the game is paused, so pausing the game can let the player zoom in whenever needed. If the corpse was buried in a [[grave]] or [[sarcophagus]], it will teleport out leaving an open burial site, with the same limitations of teleporting off-screen applying.

If the original pawn moves to a different world tile, the corpse will teleport to the new tile. If the original pawn enters a [[caravan]], the corpse won't force itself into the caravan, but will teleport whenever the pawn enters a loaded map.

=== Awakening ===
11 to 13 days after arrival on the map, you will receive a warning [[letter]] stating the corpse is growing stronger and is beginning to awaken. 1 to 3 days later after this warning, the corpse will begin to awaken and you will have mere moments to destroy the corpse before it fully activates. There is no way to delay the awakening. Any part destruction of the corpse, e.g., an extracted skull, will be healed upon awakening.

When it has awoken, the corpse has only one goal: to find and grab the original pawn. The corpse will chase the original pawn until either the original or the corpse itself is destroyed. If it succeeds, it will hypnotize the pawn and hold them in place for several seconds, before instantly and unavoidably killing the original pawn by psychically incinerating the target's brain. Skipping (via [[Skip]], [[Chaos skip]], or [[Mass chaos skip]]){{RoyaltyIcon}} either the pawn or the corpse away from each other will break the trance, as well as disorientating the corpse with [[Vertigo pulse]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}. Although the hypnosis is broken and the pawn is no longer at immediate risk of dying, they are still rendered immobile for some time after.

The corpse cannot be trapped by any means. It can freely open [[door]]s and if unable to path to its target, it will teleport through solid walls. It can chase and hypnotize its victim even if the target gains [[invisibility]]. However, if the target is held in a 1x1 room without a [[door]], teleportation is not possible and the corpse will endlessly pace around their cell. If the target is carried by another pawn, it will attack the pawn with its melee attack; if the target is inside of something like a [[cryptosleep casket]], it will begin ripping open the casket to attack. This does slow the corpse down as, other than its psychic death glare, it performs as a normal unarmed melee fighter.

After the destruction of its target, the corpse will wander momentarily before disappearing.

The unnatural corpse will attempt to copy the original pawn again once it awakens. An awoken corpse will copy:
* Injuries, including [[scar]]s. These will be healed nearly instantly at the cost of some of its stored regeneration.
* Drug effects, such as [[go-juice]] and [[flake]]. This includes [[addiction]]s and [[anesthetic]]s.
* Buffs, such as [[combat command]]{{IdeologyIcon}}
* Age-based illnesses, such as [[bad back]] and [[dementia]]. These are not healed.
* Certain specialty hediffs, such as [[void touched]] and [[Inhumanized|inhumanization]].
* [[Genes]]{{BiotechIcon}}, including any changes since the corpse's arrival.
* [[Psycast]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}}, although they cannot be used.

The corpse does not copy:
* Diseases, like [[malaria]], [[food poisoning]], or [[flu]]
* [[Pregnancy]] {{BiotechIcon}}
* New [[artificial body parts]]

Destroying the unnatural corpse after it has awoken is exceptionally difficult. The corpse has an incoming damage multiplier of 20%, receiving only a fifth of incoming damage. The corpse has +1000% [[Pain Shock Threshold|pain shock resistance]] and a regeneration ability similar to [[Ghoul]]s, but far more powerful: '''30000 HP/day''' regeneration for up to 150 HP of damage taken (effectively 900 HP due to the damage modifier), and it cannot die by any means if the regeneration capacity is not depleted. It may be [[downed]] by external means like [[hypothermia]] and [[heatstroke]], but even at 100%, these will not kill the corpse while it has regenerates.

Items like the [[psychic shock lance]] will have no effect on the corpse. [[Biomutation lance]]s do work, however they will only delay the corpse's assault; it will reappear after some time. While awoken, if the target is on a [[caravan]], the unnatural corpse will vanish and reappear once the target enters a new loaded map.

The corpse starts with a [[move speed]] modifier of x50%, which increases over the next few hours to a 300% movement speed modifier. Movement increases will be notified with a message at the top of the screen. Combined with the extreme regeneration, ability to teleport, and the ability to benefit from any [[trait]]s and [[gene]]s{{BiotechIcon}} the target has, an awoken corpse is nearly unstoppable and very likely to kill the target pawn.

If the awoken corpse loses its regeneration and becomes [[downed]], it will be destroyed. Destroying the corpse after it has awoken yields one shard as normal.

== Analysis ==
Given how hard it is to stop an awoken corpse through standard combat, and the fact allowing it to awaken provides no benefit to the colony, it is highly recommended study it ASAP and to destroy the unnatural corpse as soon as you are done studying it.

Note that the corpse will start forbidden when it first arrives or when it respawns, so make sure to unforbid it each time this happens.

However, if for whatever the reason you must fight an awoken corpse, there are ways to make the fight significantly easier.

=== Sedation by proxy ===
The easiest way to fight the corpse once it has awakened is to render its target unconscious before the corpse awakens. This can be done through various means like [[anesthetic]]s, [[neural heat dump]]ing{{RoyaltyIcon}}, and [[blood loss]] (such as through extracting a [[hemogen pack]]{{BiotechIcon}}). After that, the corpse will awaken but be unconscious, allowing you to leisurely deal damage and exhaust its regeneration limit. Once this limit is reached, the corpse will be destroyed.

=== Delaying it===
The target can be walled into a 1x1 room without any doors. This prevents the corpse from teleporting to the target and allows the rest of the colony to concentrate on the fight.

Alternatively, the target can be inside of a [[cryptosleep casket]], [[biosculpter pod]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, or [[passenger shuttle]]{{OdysseyIcon}}. The awakened corpse does relatively little amounts of melee damage to try to break the target out. Assign one colonist to repair the building, and bring multiple melee-equipped pawns to engage the awakened corpse. You will be able to break through the awakened corpses' regeneration relatively quickly with several melee-equipped pawns. Keep an eye on the building health and re-order repairs as needed.

If your targeted colonist is downed, they can be relocated mid-trance by rescuing them. Trapping the awoken corpse in a confined space with colonists or animals, and blocking off most avenues of teleportation for the corpse, can allow you to quickly overpower and then kill it.

[[Biomutation lance]]s can affect the corpse. Sending the target away such as on a [[caravan]] will cause the awoken corpse to vanish as well, with a message stating it will return. These stalling tactics can be useful, but they will reset the corpse's regeneration capacity and its movement speed bonus, effectively restarting the fight.

=== Poisoning it ===
The awoken corpse is unable to regenerate from certain effects, namely [[temperature]] and [[Toxic buildup|poison]]. Extreme temperatures can inflict heatstroke and hypothermia into the corpse as normal, which will cripple it just like a normal pawn. Toxic build-up from [[venom fangs]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} and [[venom talon]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}} cannot be regenerated from either. Once it is downed, it is easy to kill. The only problem to this is the corpse's speed and teleportation can make it difficult to hit.

=== Psychic slaughter ===
The [[psychic slaughter]] ability that some [[Creepjoiner]]s have can be used to instantly destroy the corpse. This means you lose the shard in the process, however.

=== Taking advantage of death refusal ===
Finally, the unnatural corpse's appearance unlocks the [[death refusal]] research. Unlocking the ritual and using it on the original pawn gives them the ability to revive even if the corpse manages to attack them. However, this is unlikely as you will probably finish studying the corpse long before the ritual is available.

=== Prevent reappearance ===
Dumping the unnatural corpse into a [[pit gate]] and collapsing it while the corpse is still there will destroy the corpse and prevent it from reappearing.

A less reliable method is to turn the corpse into a [[nutrient paste meal]] in the small chance that it teleports into a [[hopper]] for a [[nutrient paste dispenser]]. This is different than butchering the corpse. The nutrient paste meal should display "Unnatural human corpse" as part of the ingredients. You can also put a stockpile next to a nutrient paste dispenser and haul the unnatural corpse there, then build a hopper there.

'''Tribalwear''' is the only neolithic item of [[clothing]] in RimWorld. It [[Apparel layers|covers]] both the torso and legs, meaning it is worn in place of a [[shirt]] and [[pants]].

== Acquisition ==
{{Acquisition}}

They can also be [[Trade|bought]] from [[tribal]] traders and [[faction base]]s, and are commonly found on almost all kinds of tribal [[raiders]].

== Analysis ==
Tribalwear is one of the primary ways to occupy the skin layer. It is the only option for [[New Tribe]]s to consider. [[New Arrivals]] have access to [[Research#Complex clothing|Complex clothing]], and can instead create a [[t-shirt]] or [[button-down shirt]] with [[pants]].

Compared to wearing both a [[Button-down shirt]] and [[Pants]]:
* Tribalwear has identical armor values, but does not cover the neck, shoulders, and arms (which account for roughly 17% of attacks).
* Tribalwear has better insulation from cold ({{%|{{P|Insulation Factor - Cold}}}} vs. {{%|{{Q|Button-down shirt|Insulation Factor - Cold}}+{{Q|Pants|Insulation Factor - Cold}}}})
* Tribalwear has much better insulation from hot temperatures ({{%|{{P|Insulation Factor - Heat}}}} vs. {{%|{{Q|Button-down shirt|Insulation Factor - Heat}}+{{Q|Pants|Insulation Factor - Heat}}}})
* Tribalwear has a lower material cost ({{P|Resource 1 Amount}} vs. {{#expr:{{Q|Button-down shirt|Resource 1 Amount}}+{{Q|Pants|Resource 1 Amount}}}})
* Tribalwear has a lower work cost ({{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make #}}}} vs. {{Ticks|{{Q|Button-down shirt|Work To Make #}}+{{Q|Pants|Work To Make #}}}})
* A [[t-shirt]] costs 5 materials less. It has the same armor and roughly the same insulation as a button-down, but doesn't cover the neck or arms.

The differences are quite small in practice. A [[duster]], [[jacket]], or [[parka]] is usually sufficient against extreme temperatures - assuming you can create them. Conversely, the actual protection from a tribalwear/shirt is quite minimal when they are made from early game materials. Thus, tribalwear is good before you have access to outerwear or protective textiles, as it is cheaper and more insulating. It is also an overall economical option to avoid extreme temperatures.

Tribalwear can also be used to "upgrade" from a jacket to a duster; depending on the climate, it might be enough to be comfortable outside. The duster protects everything the tribalwear doesn't, and is much more effective than a mere shirt at doing so. Button-downs are superior if you can wear them and a duster comfortably, or if a parka is required regardless of the inner clothing.

=== Prisoner clothing ===
Tribalwear is ideal for [[prisoners]] and non-combat [[slaves]]{{IdeologyIcon}} since it offers essential bodily coverage, it's cheap, and it offers less protection than other clothing. This ensures that prisoners can be downed more easily in the event of prison breaks or slave rebellions. As prisoners will often only put on the bare minimum clothing to not be considered naked, the increased insulation over other options also helps prevent issues with extreme temperatures that would otherwise require finagling another insulating item on to the prisoner.

You can force prisoners to wear tribalwear by using the "Force target to wear..." action of the tribalwear, then targeting the prisoner.

=== Trade ===
Tribalwear has the highest ratio of "materials" / "work to craft" of all clothing: 60 material for 30 work, so 2:1 (the next highest are [[t-shirt]] and [[pants]] at 1.5:1). Therefore, if you have a large pile of textiles you would sell — to a [[Trade#Bulk_goods_trader|bulk goods trader]] or a base — and a good crafter, and you'd like to convert it into high-quality clothing to increase its value before selling it, then turning it into tribalwear is the fastest way. Tribalwear is also relatively value-dense: it's 60 material per item (and therefore per shelf slot), which is somewhat less than the [[jacket]] (70 material), [[duster]], [[cape]], and [[parka]] (all 80 material); but it's also ''much'' lighter at 0.5 kg, compared to the 1.5 kg jacket, 2 kg cape, 2.2 kg duster, and 4 kg parka, making it convenient for caravanning.

{{Apparel Stats Table}}

== Version history ==
* '''Alpha 7''': -10% work speed, -10% move speed penalties added.
* '''???''': -10% work speed, -10% move speed penalties removed.
* '''Beta 19/1.0''': colonists can now wear armor vests with tribalwear.

Ancient bed

2026-03-30T07:43:23Z

'''Ancient beds''' are [[ruins]] that are defined in Core but only appear when the [[Ideology DLC]] and/or the [[Odyssey DLC]] are enabled. They can be used as a bed and have no [[quality]].

== Occurrence ==
If the Ideology DLC is enabled, they can be found among the debris scattered on maps.

If the Odyssey DLC is enabled, they can be found in various locations:
* debris in [[scarlands]] maps
* landmarks and features: [[Landmarks#Ruins|ancient ruins]], [[frozen ruins]], [[ancient launch site]], [[ancient garrison]], [[Landmarks#Stockpile|ancient stockpile]], [[junkyard]]
* biome ruins: [[scarlands]] ruins, [[glacial plain]] ruins
* quest sites: [[Quests#Ancient Reactor|ancient reactor]], [[Orbital scanner#Quests|orbital item stash]]

If neither DLC is enabled, they will not appear in-game at all.

== Summary ==
{{For|a description of mechanics shared by all sleep furniture|Sleep furniture#Mechanics{{!}}Sleep furniture mechanics}}
{{PAGENAME}}s are a form of [[sleep furniture]]. One pawn can sleep on one at a time.

=== Rest Effectiveness ===
[[Rest Effectiveness]] is a measure how fast a pawn will regain [[rest]]. A pawn sleeping in a bed with 80% rest effectiveness would regain rest 80% as fast, and thus require 125% time to sleep.

{{Rest Effectiveness Quality Table}}

=== Comfort ===
[[Comfort]] is a measure of how high a pawn can refill their comfort meter while using the piece of furniture. A pawn sleeping in a bed with a higher comfort value can achieve a higher level. It does not affect the rate at which comfort increases only the maximum level. Comfort levels over 100% have no additional effect. Ancient beds do not benefit from [[end table]]s or [[dresser]]s.

{{Comfort Quality Table}}

=== Surgery Success Chance Factor ===
The [[Surgery Success Chance Factor]] is exactly what it sounds like - a multiplier on the chance for a successful surgery, assuming it is performed in an ancient bed. Most beds and bedrolls have a base value of 100%, which is multiplied by [[quality]]. Construction material does not matter. Ancient beds have no quality, and are always considered to have a ×100% multiplier to their base value.

{{Surgery Success Chance Factor Quality Table}}

=== Healing ===
A pawn resting in a {{lc:{{PAGENAME}}}} of any quality will have their [[Immunity Gain Speed]] multiplied by {{Bad|x{{P|Immunity Gain Speed Factor}}}} and heal an additional {{+|5}} HP from [[injury|injuries]] per day.

== Analysis ==
The '''ancient bed''' is near identical in terms of [[Rest Effectiveness]] to an awful quality non [[stone blocks]] [[bed]], or to a poor quality stone blocks bed. [[Comfort]]-wise, it is worse than an awful quality bed of any material. Despite being a bed, using it does not prevent the {{Thought|desc=I had to sleep on the ground like an animal.|label=slept on ground|value=-4|stack=1}} penalty. It also has a worse [[Surgery Success Chance Factor]] and [[Immunity gain speed|Immunity Gain Speed Factor]] than a [[sleeping spot]]. As such, it only has only 2 advantages over a [[sleeping spot]]:
* It has a higher injury healing rate than a sleeping spot ({{+|5}} vs {{+|4}})
* It has a slightly higher [[comfort]], 0.55 vs 0.40.

Therefore, ancient beds are only viable if regular beds are impossible to procure. Such a case would require an entire colony incapable of [[Construction]], a critical shortage of raw materials to make beds, or a [[New Tribe]] without any [[textile]]s, the former two being rather unlikely. Among the biomes with no wood to cut, only [[ice sheet]] can spawn [[ruins]] with ancient beds, they do not spawn on [[sea ice]]. Even in such a case, the humble sleeping spot will be better for most medical uses with the sole exception of healing injuries (albeit barely). Due to the previously stated reasons, ancient beds have little practical use.

== Version history ==
* [[Ideology DLC]] Release - Added.
* [[Version/1.3.3101|1.3.3101]] - Fix: Ancient beds not showing sleeping pawn body.
* [[Version/1.5.4083|1.5.4083]] (From [[Version/1.5.4081|1.5.4081]]) - Ancient beds are no longer colored to suit their role.
* ? - No longer spawn colored green.
* [[Version/1.6.4518|1.6.4518]] - Moved to Core. Ancient beds now provide slightly less comfort (0.55 down from 0.75).

'''Creepjoiners'''<ref>The term ''creepjoiner'' is taken from the game's code, and is not used in-game.</ref> are a phenomenon added by the [[Anomaly DLC]]. They are humans who will randomly arrive at your colony offering to join, typically providing great benefits but often concealing downsides that can range from minor annoyances to debilitatingly dangerous. Creepjoiners can be encountered even before activating the [[void monolith]].

== Summary ==

Creepjoiners always request to join the colony. They will appear on the edge of the map and make their way to a nearby location - similar to a [[trader]] - where they will linger and wait for someone to be sent to talk to them. Upon doing so, three options are presented: to accept the request to join, to arrest the creepjoiner, or to refuse the creepjoiner's request.

If rejected or if ignored for {{ticks/gametime/days|60000}}, creepjoiners have an equal chance to either depart peacefully or to immediately become hostile and attack.

Every creepjoiner has an upside and a possible downside. Potential options for each of these can found in the [[#Benefits|Benefits]] and [[#Drawbacks|Drawbacks]] sections.

All creepjoiners are initially [[unwaveringly loyal]]. This condition is permanently removed if they are allowed to join the colony. If arrested before joining, such as by choosing the "''Send <PAWN NAME> to capture <CREEPJOINER NAME>''" option when first speaking to them, they can only be recruited by removing their unwavering status using the [[brainwipe]] [[ritual]]. Creepjoiners can also be [[Slavery|enslaved]],{{IdeologyIcon}} although their extremely high will of 80-90 makes this very tedious.

Creepjoiners can be studied for Advanced [[Research#Anomaly|void research]] if taken prisoner. They give 2 Advanced research with a cooldown of 2 days. The creepjoiner must be able to walk to be studied.

Creepjoiners cannot be duplicated by the [[corrupted obelisk]].

Creepjoiners are unable to romance ordinary pawns, but they can romance other creepjoiners or be forced into relationships by pawns with the [[psychic bonding]] gene.{{BiotechIcon}} Creepjoiners can become [[pregnant]] {{BiotechIcon}}, but their children will be normal humans and not inherit any of the unique mechanics of creepjoiners.

[[File:Marriage_Creepjoiners.png|thumb|A marriage ceremony between two creepjoiners. Other pawns from the colony are participating.]]

=== Occurrence ===

Creepjoiners start appearing randomly after 10 days from game start. Reoccurrences are subject to a 60-day cooldown. There are no other requirements, but until the Monolith reaches level 2, the metalhorror variant is disabled, making creepjoiners slightly rarer.

==== Farming ====

It is possible to reliably spawn creepjoiners via [[void provocation]]. The monolith must be kept at level 2, and [[metalhorror]] must be left undiscovered (keeping colony population at 3 or less will prevent it from appearing naturally). In this state, void provocation can spawn a metalhorror-infected creepjoiner, and will do so every time (subject to the 60-day creepjoiner cooldown) after all other advanced entities are discovered. This basically guarantees one creepjoiner per year, with the added benefit of blocking non-metalhorror downsides, including the permanently detrimental ones.

Of course, once such a creepjoiner is accepted into the colony, a metalhorror encounter is inevitable – which means this method can be used to recruit only one creepjoiner per playthrough (or one batch of creepjoiners, but they would need to be gathered over many years into a cryptosleep stash then recruited all at once). Therefore, it's best used as a mechanism to reroll creepjoiners until a highly desirable one appears. Bad creepjoiners can be reliably disposed of without revealing their metalhorrors by simply allowing them to join and immediately banishing – this can even be done with the game paused.

Naturally-occurring creepjoiners and void provocation-summoned creepjoiners are on separate 60-day cooldowns, so a colony actively farming them can expect to average some 1.5 creepjoiners per year.{{Check Tag|Code?|In actual gameplay on 1.6.4566, it clearly works like this, but from looking at the code, it's not clear why it would, could this be a bug?}}

=== Types ===

Each creepjoiner type comes with preset equipment, traits, and possible [[#Benefit|benefits]]. A brief summary of each possible type's notable properties is provided here:

* '''Leathery stranger:''' No unique effects.
* '''Dark scholar:''' Has the [[Psychopath]] trait, 14-20 in the [[Intellectual]] skill, and several surgical scars.
* '''Deal maker:''' Has the [[Beautiful]] trait and 14-20 in the [[Shooting]] and [[Social (skill)|Social]] skills.
* '''Drifter:''' No unique effects.
* '''Blind healer:''' Always spawns missing both eyes, which can be replaced with full functionality by the [[Ailments#Healing method table|usual methods]]. Guaranteed to have the ''unnatural healing'' benefit.
* '''Timeless one:''' Always between 13 and 16 years old. Not to be confused with [[Ageless]].{{BiotechIcon}}
* '''Cult escapee:''' Usually has many surgical scars and/or removed body parts. 50% chance to spawn with a [[flesh tentacle]] on either arm.
* '''Lone genius:''' Has the [[Too smart]] and [[Abrasive]] traits, as well as 13-18 in the [[Intellectual]] skill.

=== Benefits ===

Every creepjoiner has a single benefit, chosen at random. Most creepjoiner types have a specific list of possible benefits that they are restricted to; for more information, consult the [[#Pawn Kinds|Pawn Kinds]] table at the bottom of the page.

* '''Perfect human:''' Has the [[Industrious]] trait and 14 to 18 in all [[skills]]. Also has the unique [[Perfect memory]] trait, which entirely disables skill decay.
* '''Occultist:''' Has the unique [[Occultist]] trait.
* '''Unnatural healing:''' Has the ''unnatural healing'' ability (see below).
** This benefit has a weight of 0.5 (compared to the weight of 1 for every other benefit), making it less likely to be chosen on its own.
* '''Shambler overlord:''' Has the ''release deadlife dust'' ability.
* '''Fleshcrafter:''' Has the ''shape flesh'' ability.
* '''Alchemist:''' Has the ''transmute steel'' ability.
* '''Joybringer:''' Has the unique [[Joyous]] trait, which grants {{good|+20}} opinion from all other pawns and a {{Thought|desc=Wherever I go, I can feel the joyous one in the back of my mind. It makes me feel good. Very good.|label=Joyous presence|value=+3|stack=1}} to all colonists on the map.
* '''Death refusal:''' Starts with four uses of [[death refusal]].
* '''Body mastery:''' Has the unique [[Body mastery]] trait, which completely removes the pawn's need for [[food]], [[sleep]], and [[comfort]].
* '''Psychic butcher:''' Has the ''psychic slaughter'' ability.

=== Drawbacks ===

Creepjoiners typically have one downside applied to them upon spawning. These downsides are almost always hidden from the player, and only become revealed when their effects first manifest. A list of possible drawbacks includes:

* Nothing.
* '''Desertion:''' After 9-30 days in the colony, the creepjoiner will suddenly depart. They will immediately attempt to exit the map, abandoning any work they were doing in the process.
** This drawback has a weight of 3 (compared to the weight of 1 for every other downside), making it more likely to be chosen than any other drawback.
** [[Prisoner|Imprisoned]] or [[Slave|enslaved]] {{IdeologyIcon}} creepjoiners will wait until they are freed to desert.
** A creepjoiner captured while deserting and subsequently recruited or enslaved {{IdeologyIcon}} will not attempt to desert again.
** Creepjoiners can desert even when they are currently [[downed]].
'' '''<PAWN NAME> departure:''' <PAWN NAME> thanks you for your hospitality, but says that it is time for <PAWN'S PRONOUN> to move on. ''
* '''Aggressive:''' After 9-30 days in the colony, the creepjoiner suddenly becomes hostile and attacks.
* '''Metalhorror:''' The creepjoiner is secretly infected with a [[metalhorror]].
** Creepjoiners with this downside will always become hostile if not accepted by the colony.
** This downside does not appear under normal conditions. Instead, creepjoiners with a metalhorror can only appear as part of a unique incident that appears identical to a regular arrival. It is naturally 5% as likely to appear as a regular creepjoiner, but is one possible outcome of [[void provocation]].
** Outside of the ''ambient horror'' [[AI_Storytellers#Anomaly|storyteller option]], the [[monolith]] must be at least level 2 for this downside to occur.
* '''Crumbling mind:''' After 1-3 days, the creepjoiner is revealed to be suffering from a [[crumbling mind]].
** Can be diagnosed early with a surgical inspection: ''<CREEPJOINER NAME> is showing early signs of a severe condition which will soon cause severe mental degradation. <PAWN NAME> can't yet tell exactly what is causing this, but they will become very ill within the next few days.''
* '''Void fascination:''' Guaranteed to have the unique [[Void fascination]] trait. Immediately apparent.[[File:AgonyPulseDeath.png|right|450px]]
* '''Psychic agony:''' The creepjoiner periodically emits an [[Hediffs/Anomaly/Global/Misc/Agony_pulse|agony pulse]], affecting all pawns within 14.9 tiles ''including the creepjoiner themselves.'' This happens once every 30 days on average, with a minimum time of 5 days between each occurrence.
** Can be diagnosed early with a surgical inspection: "''<PAWN NAME> detected a faint but painful psychic presence emanating from <CREEPJOINER NAME> but failed to understand what was causing it.''"
** Affected targets receive {{bad|+100%}} [[pain]], which is enough to instantly down all pawns without a source of pain reduction. After {{ticks|600}} to {{ticks|900}}, this is reduced to a milder {{bad|+25%}} pain that lasts between {{ticks/gametime/days|120000}} and {{ticks/gametime/days|240000}}.
** At 100% pain, [[consciousness]] is reduced by 40%, meaning that Agony Pulses can kill pawns when combined with consciousness reductions from other sources.
** The agony pulse is ''not'' modulated by [[psychic sensitivity]]; even [[psychically deaf]] pawns will suffer its effects.
* '''Organ decay:''' After 3-5 days, the creepjoiner will reveal that they are suffering from [[organ decay]] in 3-5 internal organs. This uses a unique variant of organ decay that progresses three times faster than normal, allowing only 10-20 days to treat each instance.
** Can be diagnosed early with a surgical inspection: ''"<CREEPJOINER NAME> is showing early signs of a severe condition which will cause their organs to rapidly deteriorate. <PAWN NAME> can't yet tell exactly what is causing this, but <CREEPJOINER NAME> will become very ill within the next few days."''
* '''Disturbing:''' Guaranteed to have the unique [[Disturbing]] trait. Immediately apparent.

=== Hostility ===

Regardless of whether they are recruited, all creepjoiners will immediately become hostile the first time they get hit by friendly fire, even if the hit was negated by armor, or a colonist attempts to [[slavery|enslave]] {{IdeologyIcon}} them once their will reaches 0. This can only happen once for each creepjoiner, but will never expire, so there is always the possibility of the creepjoiner turning hostile until it actually happens.

Each creepjoiner has a special effect, chosen randomly, that will activate when they become hostile:

* '''Basic assault:''' No special effects.
** It has weight of 3, meaning it's 3 times more likely to be chosen than other hostility responses.
* '''Sightstealer attack:''' The creepjoiner will scream and summon [[sightstealer]]s to attack the colony. The following message{{Check Tag|Letter?}} will be displayed:
::'' '''<PAWN NAME>'s howl:''' <PAWN NAME> has let out a twisted half-human scream. In the distance, you can hear other screams answering the call. They are coming... ''

These effects also trigger if the creepjoiner dies by any means.

Another hostility option, fleshbeast emergence in which the creepjoiner turns into a [[fleshbeast]], is defined in the code but never triggers. It is not currently known whether this is a bug or intentional omission.{{Check Tag|Verify if bug}}

An easy way to resolve a creepjoiner's hostility is to anaesthetize them then punch them while they're out. They will become hostile, but remain incapacitated, enabling safe capture and re-recruitment. Of course, this will still destroy the creepjoiner if fleshbeast emergence was randomly picked as their way of retaliating.

== Analysis ==

The abilities possessed by creepjoiners range from modestly useful to potentially colony-changing. Evaluate the possible tradeoffs above, and be prepared to deal with sudden turncoat behavior. Carefully inspect the pawn's entire Bio and Health tab before recruiting them. One must decide whether the potential risks a creepjoiner brings are worth it, but also weigh the downsides of ''not'' recruiting them (such as an aggressive response).

Performing a [[surgical inspection]] can reveal some potential downsides early - making it a useful habit to practice with new creepjoiners - but not all of them. Vigilance is still necessary even when the inspection finds nothing.

A creepjoiner's time-based downsides (such as ''organ decay'' or ''crumbling mind'') can be halted by placing them inside a [[cryptosleep casket]] until treatment is available. This will naturally disable the creepjoiner until they're removed from the casket, so prepare to survive without their skills and abilities for what could potentially be an extended period of time.

If a creepjoiner's downsides cannot immediately be determined then it may be useful to keep them physically isolated. [[Allowed area]]s and [[schedule|scheduling]] can be used to mitigate their proximity to other colonists until their downside is revealed for what it is.

Before you have ruled out the possibility of desertion, you may want to consider whether or not it is worth giving them expensive or rare items (such as high-quality armor, weapons, or bionic parts). While this equipment can be recovered if the deserting creepjoiner is arrested, there is always the risk that your colonists will not be able to catch them and you will consequently lose the equipment. To catch a deserting creepjoiner, it is advised to attack them to slow them down, and then capture them. Successfully arresting the deserter and then recruiting them again will make them join the colony permanently, without wanting to desert again.

The potential for [[#Hostility|fleshbeast emergence]] should also be ruled out before equipping a creepjoiner with powerful gear or [[genes]] {{BiotechIcon}}. Because it destroys the body outright, any equipped gear or installed parts are destroyed with no chance for recovery. This ignores (and negates!) [[death refusal]] and [[deathless]] {{BiotechIcon}}, so it is important to either rule out the possibility of fleshbeast emergence before applying these powerful effects, or to simply accept the risk that they may be wasted.

Cauterite: Version history - Stranger in black colour

{{main|Events}}
Incidental Events are those not triggered by the [[storyteller]]. Instead, these are results of other game mechanics.

For purposes of the wiki, these are divided in good, bad, faction, informational, and social events.

== Good ==
Good Incidental events are generally positive or neutral in nature.
<div class="mw-customtoggle-IncidentalGood" style="display:inline-block;background:rgba(128,128,128,0.5);color:white;padding:10px;border-radius:5px;outline:none;user-select:none">Show Good Incidental Events</div>

<div id="mw-customcollapsible-IncidentalGood" class="mw-collapsible">

==== Friendlies ====
This event can only occur if you are allied with at least one other faction and have enemies on screen. Allied factions may send around fighters to assist you when mutual enemies appear, such as pirates, manhunters or insectoids. They won't assist against factions that they aren't hostile to. Keep in mind that friendly fire will damage your relations with the aiding faction. On the other hand, rescuing their downed people will improve relations.

There are two versions of the friendlies event. The first is sent by an allied faction at 0 cost. These friendlies are [[raider]]s who are allied with you. They can arrive via any method and use the usual [[raid points]] system to determine their size.

The second can be called in instantly via [[comms console]], at the cost of -25 [[goodwill]]. The faction must be allied with you, and have an Industrial tech level or higher. These allies will always arrive through [[drop pod]], and can use any arrival method with drop pods. Unlike the random event, these friendlies are set with a strength between 150 - 400 [[raid points]], instead of using the raid points of your colony.

==== Legendary work ====
{{For|more details|Quality#Legendary items}}
One of your colonists has produced an object of legendary [[quality]].

==== Man in Black ====
When your colonists are no longer able to defend themselves, a stranger may join the colony to help. As their name indicates, men in black come in a full set of black clothing. They also come wearing a [[flak vest]] and always carry a [[revolver]]. Their skills and traits are fully randomized, but they will always be capable of Violence and Caring, and their favorite color{{IdeologyIcon}} will always be black.

This event is triggered only when all of your colonists are downed at your base, but almost always happens when this is the case. This event can only happen if your colony has had 3 or more colonists{{Check Tag|Slaves or Temp?|Do slaves or temporsy colonists from quests or permits count?}} at any point, regardless of the current population at the time the event would be triggered. This event also has a cooldown of roughly 1 year.

The man in black will not appear on the temporary maps generated for world quests. However, if all your surviving pawns are downed elsewhere, it is possible for the man in black to appear at your base. (Testing is needed to see how these events are affected by allowing multiple colonies in the scenario editor.)

==== Masterwork ====
{{For|more details|Quality#How quality is determined}}
One of your colonists has produced an object of masterwork [[quality]].

==== Meteorite ====
A large meteorite has struck ground in the area. It has left behind a lump of [[material]]. During daylight, a large shadow will project on the ground which shrinks as it closes in.

The meteorite will severely damage or kill anything that is below it. Any colonists beneath the meteorite has a small while to escape before they are crushed by it. The map tile will read: Meteorite (incoming).

</gallery>

==== New recruit ====
You'll get this notification whenever a Warden has succeeded in recruiting a prisoner. It also appears if a [[transport pod crash]] victim chooses to join your faction.

==== Outpost destroyed ====
[[File:Faction destroyed.png|400px|thumb|right|R.I.P. some pirate faction, nobody will remember you.]]

This is the notification that triggers when you successfully defeat all human hostiles in an enemy base after invading them (not counting turrets, which need to be neutralized separately). After this you have a while to capture any prisoners (there is usually at least one building suitable to turn into a cell), treat the wounded, pack up and leave before enemy reinforcements arrive in the form of a raid.

===== Faction defeated =====
Should you destroy all bases of a faction, the notification will say that since you just destroyed the last faction base, the faction no longer exists.

You can still view the defeated faction in the menu, and it will show 'Defeated' below it. They won't send any raids, nor will they send caravans. It should be noted that this does not actually decrease the total frequency of raids you will get, as whether a raid happens or not is determined separately and before a faction is chosen. It just means that the raids will not be from this faction and will be from other factions, and with fewer human factions to choose from the game will start sending more mechanoid raids, which can inadvertently make the game harder if you find mechanoids more difficult.

Destroying and/or befriending all factions will make mechanoids the only remaining threat for all future raids.

==== Quest completed ====
You've done what was [[quest|requested]] by other factions and will receive the reward at your nearest(?) base via pods very close to your buildings, along with an improvement in relations. While they attempt not to, the pods may also crash through your roof, so be prepared to repair them.

==== Ransom (Time remaining) ====
This event can only occur if a colonist of yours was captured by another faction.

Another faction captured one of your downed colonists somehow and will release that colonist to you... for a price. Common methods for capturing your colonists include grabbing downed colonists while retreating from a raid or downing an entire caravan.

This event will only trigger within a season of the kidnapping. If 2 or more pawns are kidnapped the event is guaranteed and will trigger for only 1 of them as long as a [[orbital trade beacon]] with [[comms console]] is powered on the map.

The offer will be good for 24 game hours. If paid, the colonist will immediately appear on your map border or be sent via drop pod.

==== Rare thrumbos ====
Two to six [[thrumbo]]s will spawn at the edge of the map, staying around for a while to eat anything they can, including your crops, but not including [[anima tree|anima]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} [[gauranlen tree|gauranlen]],{{IdeologyIcon}} [[polux tree|polux]],{{BiotechIcon}} [[harbinger tree|harbinger]],{{AnomalyIcon}} or [[archean tree]]s.{{OdysseyIcon}} The player can attempt to hunt or tame them, both of which are very difficult. If no action is taken, they will leave on their own after a few days. It will not reoccur for 13 days.

==== Reactor ready ====
You have completed the 15 day warm up period for starting a [[ship reactor]]. If the rest of the necessary ship parts have been built, it may now be launched. Raids and sieges will drop considerably after this period is over.

==== Ship chunks ====
This event doesn't have an envelope, but rather appears in the notification bar up top, assuming these chunks don't strike your colony or pawns. One or more [[ship chunk]]s fall onto the map. They can be deconstructed for 5-6 [[component]]s and 20 [[steel]]. Rarely they can punch through roofs, damaging structures near it. Extremely rarely, they can land right on top of a colonist, killing them.

In Beta 18 the ship chunk creates an explosion upon landing. The falling chunks cast shadows on the ground, giving a little time for colonists to move out of the way.

==== Trauma savant ====
This event only has a 12% chance to trigger upon one of your colonists receiving a brain injury.

A colonist has suffered a brain injury and has gained great abilities from it at the cost of others, gaining 50% extra [[manipulation]] while losing the ability to [[talking|speak]], [[hearing|hear]], and have any [[social]] relationships. It also restores the brain to full functioning, despite the injury.

==== Anima tree sprout ====
{{Royalty|section=1}}
If an [[anima tree]] was killed by any means, this event can occur within a few days from the last death of the tree, appearing at random places that are unaffected by its radius.

== Bad ==
Bad Incidental events are either negative or cautionary in nature.

==== Ancient danger ====
{{main|Ancient shrine}}
{{quote|As (Colonist name) draws near the ancient wall a sense of foreboding overcomes him(her). (S)He isn't sure why, but (s)he feels this dusty structure may contain great dangers|Message that appears when the first colonist walks near.}}

This event is related to map generation and may not appear on every map. It may occur more than once per map. While listed as a danger, they are usually harmless until disturbed.

A colonist approached a walled out area of the map partially or completely under a mountain. It contains one or more of the following: ancient [[cryptosleep casket]]s, [[insectoids|bugs]] with hives, [[mechanoid]]s or treasure. Open at your own risk, by blowing a hole or deconstructing a section of the wall.

First, you'll need to deal with hostiles outside. Then, opening or attacking any casket will cause all the others to open instantly. The cryptosleep caskets usually contain humans, but may also contain [[megascarab]]s or be empty. The Spacers inside the caskets may or may not be dead. If alive, they may or may not be wounded, or armed and hostile. It's even possible for pawns incapable of violence to melee attack. If they are not hostile and can walk, they will try to escape. Any alive Spacers inside may be captured and recruited, usually with a low recruitment difficulty percentage.

Ancient structures may include other treasures like psychic lances and pulsers. [[Luciferium]] can be found in these buildings. Pod people sometimes carry [[plasteel]], [[component]]s, and [[gold]]. The caskets can be claimed and used or deconstructed by the colony.

==== Animal revenge ====
An animal that was harmed will go mad and become [[manhunter]]. When you select an animal to be hunted, the game will notify you if it has a chance for revenge and what the percentage is. Occasionally, all nearby pack members of that animal's species may start attacking their attacker.

==== Birthday ====
Character gains an age-related illness, such as [[bad back]] or [[cataract]]s. They may be cured by using the [[healer mech serum]], [[luciferium]], a [[biosculpter pod]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, or the Scarless [[gene]]{{BiotechIcon}}. Some may be 'cured' by replacing the affected parts with bionics.

Due to age or a pre-existing health condition, they can also have a [[heart attack]].

==== Death ====
One of your pawns has died unintentionally. Slaughtering an animal or euthanizing a colonist or prisoner will not produce this event.

==== Disease ====
Colonists (including [[prisoner]]s and [[slave]]s{{IdeologyIcon}}) or animals will gain a random [[disease]]. [[Biome]] influences both the amount of disease and its selection. Multiple pawns can get a disease at once, but diseases never spread between pawns. Disease events are controlled separately from other events by your [[storyteller]].

[[Sickly]] pawns will get sick with a MTB of 30 days, independently of the rest of your colonists.

==== Drug addiction ====
A colonist has taken too much of a [[drug]] and is now [[Addictiveness|addicted]]. They will now need to regularly take that drug or suffer the withdrawal effects. See here for more details of the [[Withdrawal]] condition.

==== Heart attack ====
A character or tamed animal suffers a [[heart attack]]. Characters will seek out a medical bed or their assigned bed for treatment. Animals will return to the nearest empty animal bed or sleeping spot. Doctors will then proceed to attempt to resuscitate the victim, using medicine if allowed and available.

During a heart attack, people or animals can fall unconscious or even die if not treated in time.

==== Mental Break ====
{{Main|Mental break}}
One of your colonists or prisoners has had it and has a [[mental break]]. During this time, the afflicted colonist will be effectively unavailable, will not do colony work and can not be drafted. They will use forbidden doors and items. They will also attend to their needs such as sleep, recreation, and eating.

Depending on the nature of the mental break, there are several ways to handle the situation:

* Wall the person in – this is only possible if they wander to a suitable location.
* Try to arrest them. They will possibly resist and need to be beaten down, causing injury. This will also give them a fairly long-lasting mood debuff ("I was arrested!") after you release them from jail. Arresting temporary members will immediately cause their faction to become hostile.
* Wait out the situation - This takes a while for most minor breaks.

==== Overdose ====
{{Main|Overdose}}
One of your colonists or animals has [[overdose]]d. There is a risk of overdose when taking any [[drug|hard drug]], as well as when taking too many non-social drugs in general. This can cause permanent damage or even death.

==== Predator hunting ====
A wild, hungry predator has targeted one of your colonists or tamed animals for killing and eating. This will only be triggered if a hungry predator is on the map. This means if there are few wild animals near it, or if it's dangerously close to your base or pen, in some cases it can be a good idea to put out food to feed the predator so this event does not trigger. A hunting predator is different from normal enemies in a couple of ways. While regular enemies will tend to avoid targeting noncombatant [[children]], predators will target them the same as a regular pawn. Predators will also not stop attacking once a pawn is [[downed]], and will keep attacking until the pawn is dead and then eat the corpse. Predators don't change targets, even if a different pawn is closer, unless the targeted pawn becomes inaccessible, such as by entering the door to your base. As of version 1.4, colonists and turrets will not automatically identify predators hunting a pawn as hostile. Attacking the predator will trigger "animal revenge," which gives the predator the ability to change targets and all colonists and turrets will recognize it as a hostile. Version 1.5 patches this and they will be immediately identified as hostile by all colonists and turrets once they start hunting a pawn.

==== Prison break ====
[[File:Prison break.png|300px|thumb|right|Prison break]]
{{Template:Prison Break}}
{{Clear}}

==== Roof collapsed ====
This event only happens if something is crushed by the falling roof. Otherwise, it's only a notification.

All [[roof]]s must be supported by a constructed or rock wall within 6 spaces with contiguous roof sections in between itself and that wall. If either of these conditions changes such as via mining, an explosion or demolition, then the roof will collapse. Damage is dealt to the head and shoulders. Note that falling roofs underneath a mountain will instantly kill any pawn unfortunate enough to be crushed.

If demolishing a building, it's recommended to use the Remove Roof tool to remove the roof first before deconstructing the walls.

==== Too Deep: Infestation ====
{{Main|Infestation}}
Insectoid infestations can spawn when actively digging from a [[deep drill]]. Insectoids, but not hives, will pop out around the drill's area. These do not have the overhead mountain requirement like regular infestations. However, they are often smaller in number, and are unable to reproduce due to the lack of hive.
</div>

== Faction ==
These events are related with changes with other factions, either relations or leadership.
<div class="mw-customtoggle-IncidentalFaction" style="display:inline-block;background:rgba(128,128,128,0.5);color:white;padding:10px;border-radius:5px;outline:none;user-select:none">Show Faction Events</div>

<div id="mw-customcollapsible-IncidentalFaction" class="mw-collapsible">

==== Allied: (Faction) ====
Relations with another faction have risen above +75 and you are now allied with them. They may now [[#Friendlies|assist you]] against mutual enemies.

==== Enemy now neutral: (Faction) ====
This notification will appear once relations have been improved with a Hostile faction enough that they will no longer be hostile. Common ways to improve relations include releasing prisoners from their faction (which must leave the map safely to receive the bonus), having successful [[Peace talks]] or providing gifts.

==== Hostile faction ====
[[File:Bad will.png|300px|thumb|right|Badwill: Friendly traders face a mechanoid raid, loses members and turns against the player.]]
You've done something to anger another [[faction]] bad enough that they are now hostile to yours. This can happen if you arrest a faction member of theirs, rob one of their caravans or if they take too much friendly fire from your colonists, among other reasons. Rough factions that are neutral/allied will naturally decay goodwill, until they become hostile again.
{{Clear}}

==== Leader died ====
Occasionally, the leader of another faction will die, sometimes through no action on your part. The popup window will also announce his or her successor.

This alert uses the variable title of the leader in question. For example, if the "boss" of a pirate band dies you will see 'Boss died', if the "chief" died, then it will read 'Chief died', and so on.

This will also happen if the leader personally comes to raid your base and is killed in action. Killing an enemy faction leader will give a mood buff for a while to the colonist that accomplished this.

===== New Leader =====
Similar to the Leader Died event, except this one occurs only when you've succeeded in both capturing and [[#New recruit|recruiting]] another faction's leader. The leader then places first at the colonist bar, instead of last.

== Informational Events ==
These events serve purely to give information about the game, and have no physical gameplay implications.
<div class="mw-customtoggle-IncidentalInfo" style="display:inline-block;background:rgba(128,128,128,0.5);color:white;padding:10px;border-radius:5px;outline:none;user-select:none">Show Informational Events</div>

<div id="mw-customcollapsible-IncidentalInfo" class="mw-collapsible">

==== About: Electricity ====
Appears when you finish researching [[Electricity]]. Reminds you of the power of electric appliances, and the [[power]] infrastructure required to maintain them.

==== About: Getting advanced components ====
Appears when you finish researching [[Research#Fabrication|Fabrication]]. Reminds you that you need [[advanced component]]s to build a [[fabrication bench]], and the potential means of obtaining them.

==== About: Launching the ship ====
Appears when you finish researching [[Starflight basics]]. This is a simple reminder about the dangers of powering up the [[ship reactor]] once built. Once turned on, the number of raids will greatly increase for the next 15 days.

==== Persona Core Offer ====
A non-hostile faction will notify you that they know where an [[Persona core]] is located: a critical component for building a ship. They will want 1500 silver for this information. However, you can only make this request at the [[comms console]] with factions which have at least +40 [[goodwill]].

You can always request for a persona core location from the comms console with 100% success, even if this event doesn't trigger, so long as you have the requisite goodwill. This event only serves to remind the player that it is possible.

==== Summer ====
This event occurs at the beginning of the summer [[quadrum]], if you are lacking suitable [[apparel]] for winter's [[temperature]]s. It merely informs you that you are ill-prepared for the winter. Grow some more food and get some warm clothing. Plan ahead for any additions to your colony during these seasons, including recruits and born animals.

==== Unwaveringly loyal ====
Appears when you first capture an unwaveringly loyal [[prisoner]]. They are unable to be recruited as a colonist or be [[ideoligion|converted]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, but can be released, [[slave|enslaved]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, or used for a variety of [[human resources]].

==== About: Anima tree linking ====
{{Royalty|section=1}}
Appears when an [[anima tree]] has 20 anima grass around it. Reminds you that a colonist with ''Natural'' meditation can begin the linking ritual, gaining a level of [[psycast]]ing in the process.

==== Baby Prep ====
{{Biotech|section=1}}
Appears when a human's [[reproduction|pregnancy]] is at its third trimester. Labor will happen without warning within the next 6 days, so prepare a clean hospital with a good doctor.
</div>

== Social ==
These events cover relationships changes between 2 pawns. Currently, all events relate to marital status.

[[Creepjoiner]]s {{AnomalyIcon}} are not able to romance ordinary pawns, but they can romance another creepjoiner, or form relationships to pawns with the [[Psychic bonding]] gene,{{BiotechIcon}} such as [[Highmates]].{{BiotechIcon}} {{Check Tag|verify|Confirmed for leathery man. Is this relevant for other types of creepjoiners? Can be overridden with psychic bond}}.

<div id="mw-customcollapsible-IncidentalSocial" class="mw-collapsible">
==== Affair ====
Somebody who is already married starts an affair with a single person. It is possible for your colonists to cheat on their lovers who aren't members of your faction.

==== Breakup ====
A couple splits, complete with the Mood and Social penalties for both colonists. The one initiating the break-up is better off than the other in the couple.

==== Divorce ====
A married couple has divorced; as a normal break up, but with worse mood penalties.

</gallery>

==== Marriage is on! ====
A couple that has been together for a while will announce their engagement. The wedding will take place some time in the future, at a [[marriage spot]], or any gathering spot ([[table]] or [[campfire]]) in lieu of one. Both fiancees and married pawns, like lovers, will want to sleep in the same bed. They receive mood boosts or debuffs depending on the relationship with their couple. They can also receive a mood boost from lovin'.

When the day of the wedding arrives, it will take place regardless of the entire colony's attendance. Pawns will sometimes take the family name of their partner upon marriage. After the ceremony takes place, a reception will follow with everyone drinking, smoking and eating if hungry. Getting married, as well as taking part in the marriage ceremony, gives a substantial, fairly long-lasting {{+|40}} [[Mood|mood buff]] to the newlyweds ("Got married to <name>"), and {{+|20}} to attendees ("Attended wedding").

Colonists who do not reach the meeting point on time, such as those sleeping, fighting fires or lying incapacitated in bed, will not gain the mood buff from the event. A quick "draft" and "undraft" for everybody ''but'' the couple should be enough to coerce all capable colonists to attend. Colonists on caravans will not attend.

If the couple happens to be busy at the exact moment the wedding is to take place, for example, because they are drafted or loading a caravan, those who are not members of the trade group will remain waiting at attendance and perform no task at all, except for eating until the couple comes back.

==== New lovers ====
You receive the announcement that two characters have become lovers, and "now want to sleep together". These are usually colonists, but a pair of [[prisoner]]s can also become lovers. They will receive [[mood]] boosts or debuff proportional to their [[opinion]] of their partner, with +/- 1 mood for every 10 opinion above/below zero.

Starting the moment their new relationship is announced, couples will ''immediately'' have a -4 mood debuff for "''sleeping alone''", even if they won't get their first chance to sleep together for hours. This can be remedied by assigning both pawns to a two person bed, such as the [[double sleeping spot]], [[double bedroll]], [[double bed]] or [[royal bed]]. A [[double bedroll]] is preferred when in a [[caravan]]. Couples that sleep in the same bed can also perform [[Lovin]]' for a mood boost to both partners.
{{Clear}}

==== Rejected proposal ====
After two characters [[#New lovers|fall in love]], one of them proposed marriage but is turned down, which may result in the couple breaking up. The proposing one suffers a mood penalty of -18 for 25 days. They may accept another offer in the future. Note that a later, accepted proposal will not remove the mood effects of the previous, rejected ones.

'''Ancient beds''' are [[ruins]] that are defined in Core but only appear when the [[Ideology DLC]] and/or the [[Odyssey DLC]] are enabled. They can be used as a bed and have no [[quality]].

== Occurrence ==
If the Ideology DLC is enabled, they can be found among the debris scattered on maps.

If the Odyssey DLC is enabled, they can be found in various locations:
* debris in [[scarlands]] maps
* landmarks and features: [[Landmarks#Ruins|ancient ruins]], [[frozen ruins]], [[ancient launch site]], [[ancient garrison]], [[Landmarks#Stockpile|ancient stockpile]], [[junkyard]]
* biome ruins: [[scarlands]] ruins, [[glacial plain]] ruins
* quest sites: [[Quests#Ancient Reactor|ancient reactor]], [[Orbital scanner#Quests|orbital item stash]]

If neither DLC is enabled, they will not appear in-game at all.

== Summary ==
{{For|a description of mechanics shared by all sleep furniture|Sleep furniture#Mechanics{{!}}Sleep furniture mechanics}}
{{PAGENAME}}s are a form of [[sleep furniture]]. One pawn can sleep on one at a time.

=== Rest Effectiveness ===
[[Rest Effectiveness]] is a measure how fast a pawn will regain [[rest]]. A pawn sleeping in a bed with 80% rest effectiveness would regain rest 80% as fast, and thus require 125% time to sleep.

{{Rest Effectiveness Quality Table}}

=== Comfort ===
[[Comfort]] is a measure of how high a pawn can refill their comfort meter while using the piece of furniture. A pawn sleeping in a bed with a higher comfort value can achieve a higher level. It does not affect the rate at which comfort increases only the maximum level. Comfort levels over 100% have no additional effect. Ancient beds do not benefit from [[end table]]s or [[dresser]]s.

{{Comfort Quality Table}}

=== Surgery Success Chance Factor ===
The [[Surgery Success Chance Factor]] is exactly what it sounds like - a multiplier on the chance for a successful surgery, assuming it is performed in an ancient bed. Most beds and bedrolls have a base value of 100%, which is multiplied by [[quality]]. Construction material does not matter. Ancient beds have no quality, and are always considered to have a ×100% multiplier to their base value.

{{Surgery Success Chance Factor Quality Table}}

=== Healing ===
A pawn resting in a {{lc:{{PAGENAME}}}} of any quality will have their [[Immunity Gain Speed]] multiplied by {{Bad|x{{P|Immunity Gain Speed Factor}}}} and heal an additional {{+|5}} HP from [[injury|injuries]] per day.

== Analysis ==
The '''ancient bed''' is near identical in terms of [[Rest Effectiveness]] to an awful quality non [[stone blocks]] [[bed]], or to a poor quality stone blocks bed. [[Comfort]]-wise, it is equivalent to a normal quality bed of any material. It also has a worse [[Surgery Success Chance Factor]] and [[Immunity gain speed|Immunity Gain Speed Factor]] than a [[sleeping spot]]. As such, it only has only 2 advantages over a [[sleeping spot]]:
* It negates the {{Thought|desc=I had to sleep on the ground like an animal.|label=slept on ground|value=-4|stack=1|duration=1}} for not using a bed.
* It has a higher injury healing rate than a sleeping spot ({{+|5}} vs {{+|4}})

Therefore, ancient beds are only viable if regular beds are impossible to procure. Such a case would require an entire colony incapable of [[Construction]] or a critical shortage of raw materials to make beds, both cases rather unlikely. Among the biomes with no wood to cut, only [[ice sheet]] can spawn [[ruins]] with ancient beds, they do not spawn on [[sea ice]]. Even in such a case, the humble sleeping spot will be better for most medical uses with the sole exception of healing injuries (albeit barely). Due to the previously stated reasons, ancient beds have little practical use.

== Version history ==
* [[Ideology DLC]] Release - Added.
* [[Version/1.3.3101|1.3.3101]] - Fix: Ancient beds not showing sleeping pawn body.
* [[Version/1.5.4083|1.5.4083]] (From [[Version/1.5.4081|1.5.4081]]) - Ancient beds are no longer colored to suit their role.
* ? - No longer spawn colored green.
* [[Version/1.6.4518|1.6.4518]] - Moved to Core. Ancient beds now provide slightly less comfort (0.55 down from 0.75).

Toxic wastepack

Cauterite: Minor grammar fix - disposal section

| description = A compacted package of toxic waste that will slowly dissolve if not frozen. The surface is heat-sealed for safe transport.

'''Toxic wastepacks''' are waste products created by mech-related buildings or the cleanup of [[polluted]] tiles.

== Acquisition ==
[[Pollution pump]]s and pawns manually cleaning [[pollution]] on the ground will generate wastepacks, at a rate of 1 wastepack per 6 polluted tiles. Wastepacks may also be dropped into your colony as part of a [[Quests#Wastepack_Dumping|quest]].

===Mechanoid Recharging and Gestation===
Toxic wastepacks are produced when [[friendly mechanoids]] utilize [[mech recharger]]s or [[large mech recharger]]s, or whenever a [[mech gestator]] or [[large mech gestator]] finishes gestating one. The amount of wastepacks produced is proportional to the Bandwidth of the mech recharged or gestated.
{{Mech Bandwidth}}

== Summary ==
Up to 5 toxic wastepacks can fit into 1 tile, and they do not fit on [[shelf|shelves]].

===Pollution===
When a wastepack is destroyed in any fashion, they will [[pollution|pollute]] 6 ground tiles of a colony, per wastepack. A full stack of 5 wastepacks pollutes 30 tiles. This pollution can spread through constructed [[wall]]s, but will not bypass natural stone walls.

When burned or damaged, wastepacks release [[tox gas]], in addition to the pollution.

When dumped from a [[caravan]], a caravan that is carrying them is destroyed, or sent via unmanned [[transport pod]], wastepacks will lower the [[goodwill]] of whatever faction has a faction base closest to the tile the wastepacks were dumped at, regardless of how far away that base is. The goodwill loss is proportional to the amount of waste dumped and its proximity to any nearby faction bases, ranging from {{--|1}} goodwill for just a few packs nearby up to {{--|60}} or more for multiple filled pods dumped directly on a base. Wastepacks dumped on the world map immediately pollute the world tile by 0.05%, requiring 2000 wastepacks to completely pollute a hex from 0% to 100%.

If dumped in [[Orbit]]{{OdysseyIcon}}, wastepacks use the same proximity calculations as they do on the ground except that as the [[Traders guild]] is the only faction in orbit, they will always be the faction angered. Wastepacks dumped in orbit also will not result in tile pollution or affect the planet below.

If the angered faction is hostile (including those made hostile by the wastepack dump), they may decide to retaliate. The percentage probability of retaliation is equal to the goodwill lost by the wastepack dump. Factions (except [[tribes]]) may retaliate by dropping wastepacks back at you, and hostile factions of any kind may send a [[raid]] in response to your "gifts". Factions will randomly select (with equal probability) between the available responses, and the response will arrive after a random delay of one to three days. Multiple wastepack pod salvos done in short succession may result in back-to-back or even simultaneous raids. Both forms of retaliation are announced upon arrival with a "Pollution retaliation" letter.

===Dissolving===
1 wastepack per stack will dissolve every 8 days, with the following factors:
* 0.5x if indoors.
* 2x if in [[Weather|rain]] and outdoors, even if [[roof]]ed.
* 0x if {{Temperature|0}} or lower. Any temperature above freezing point will not slow the dissolving of the wastepack.

The packs also deteriorate in the same way as all other items. As an example, 5 Toxic wastepacks left out in the rain will dissolve 1 wastepack after 4 days and deteriorate the rest over the course of the next day or so as they lose HP at a rate of 20 per day outside in the rain. This means that even if temperature is below freezing when left outside or unroofed, a wastepack will slowly lose HP and eventually be destroyed, releasing the pollution inside. Unlike most other items, deterioration leaves behind the pollution inside rather than deleting the item altogether.

===Gravship===
{{Odyssey|section=1}}
Unique to wastepacks, [[Gravship]]s cannot land on tiles occupied by them. When a wastepack dissolves on a tile occupied by a gravship hull the pollution will remain on the underlying and not within the gravship.

== Analysis ==
===Storage===
A 7x7 room holds 245 wastepacks, and can be cooled by a single [[cooler]] in a double-walled room, and is effective up to an outside temperature of {{Temperature|41}}. 245 wastepacks are enough storage:
* To constantly run 8 [[bandwidth]] worth of [[mechanoids]] for 1 entire year, 4 bandwidth of mechs for 2 years...
* To store the waste of 2 [[toxifier generator]]s for ''6 years''. A [[pollution pump]], or a pawn cleaning the pollution by hand, is required to turn ground pollution into wastepacks.
Depending on [[biome|climate]] and freezer setup, you can get more storage with 1 cooler. And this is 1 cooler - worth {{Required Resources|Cooler}} and {{Q|Cooler|Power Consumption}} W of [[power]] (plus the material for [[wall]]s and [[door]]s). You can easily use multiple coolers to store your waste. This gives you enough time to get a form of waste disposal ready.

===Disposal===
[[File:Wastepack disposal by shuttle.jpg|thumb|400px|right|An Empire shuttle full of wastepacks. credit to /u/BenightedAlizar on r/rimworld]]
Most means of destroying wastepacks have some sort of consequence:

* '''Letting it pollute.''' Pollution is localized - wastepacks that deteriorate or dissolve away from your base won't have an impact, at least for a while. [[Insectoid]]s may come as wastepacks are destroyed, and [[acidic smog]] can happen at high enough pollution levels.
* '''Dumping it offsite.''' Dumping will always incur a goodwill loss for a single faction based on the current relationship status, distance from the nearest [[faction base]] and number of wastepacks dumped. You will receive significantly larger penalties for dumping closest to allies than for dumping closest to hostile or neutral factions (e.g 1 wastepack dumped directly on a hostile will give -1 goodwill but if dumped on an ally it will give -12 goodwill). When leaving toxic wastepack behind on a gravship all wastepacks left count as deteriorated and pollute the map hex respectively. Despite benefiting from pollution, waster pirate gangs will still dislike when you dump toxic wastepacks near their bases.

You will always get at least -1 goodwill for dumping wastepacks. Even if you are situated on one pole of a 100% generated world and the nearest faction base is on the opposite pole and you dump a single wastepack one tile away from your base you will still receive a -1 penalty.

Wastepacks may also be dropped back at you, and if the faction is already hostile, you may start a [[raid]]. Dumping within 4 tiles of your colony will increase the chance for acidic smog.
** '''[[Caravan]]s''' take time and food to set up, and have a limited carrying capacity - especially without [[pack animal]]s or [[friendly mechanoids]].
** '''[[Transport pod]]s''' can dump wastepacks far away. 1 pod, which can store up to 25 wastepacks, and per launch costs {{Required Resources|Transport pod}}, and a variable amount of {{Icon Small|chemfuel}} [[chemfuel]] depending on how far you launch it.
** '''[[Imperial shuttle]]s''' {{RoyaltyIcon}} store up to 333 wastepacks (2000 kg) at a time, and simply transporting waste will not anger the [[Empire]] - dumping it has the usual penalties. This costs 1 permit slot, has a cooldown of 40 days, and requires a [[noble]] pawn of at least Knight/Dame rank. This permit can theoretically support up to 5 bandwidth without honor costs (although the realistic value is slightly smaller).
* '''[[Wastepack atomizer]]s''' have no direct consequences from their use. However, they require a precious [[nano structuring chip]] to create, a fair amount of [[power]], and aren't fast. One atomizer can support 4.8 [[bandwidth]] of mechanoids - a [[mechanitor]] is very likely to have more.
* '''[[Polux tree]]s''', which are another clean form of pollution removal. These trees only grow naturally if there is plenty of pollution already, though [[polux seed|seeds]] can be bought from traders. They clean only 20% as fast as a [[Wastepack atomizer]], and can only clean if there is no artificial buildings in the area, but will erase [[pollution]] directly from the ground. This is also a downside for dealing with future pollution, as these trees do not stop wastepack infestations.

[[File:Diabolus killing drop pods.png|thumb|336px|right|Diabolus destroying wastepack pods]]
When a landed [[transport pod]] is destroyed, its contents are vanished, which allows you:

* '''Bomb landed transport pods''', which exploitatively deletes wastepacks carried in them, leaving only [[steel slag chunk]]s and no pollution. Each pod can load 25 wastepacks. However this method costs a lot of [[steel]]s and [[component]]s to operate.
** While pods drop scattered around the target position, they always drop in the chosen, enclosed room.
** The most reliable way to destroy landed transport pods is the [[hellsphere cannon]] of a [[Diabolus]], which can destroy 25 pods and 625 wastepacks in one hit.

A pawn can be ordered to carry any chosen item by forming caravans. Additionally, by exploitatively forming caravans, a pawn can carry in its inventory up to the total colony carrying capacity, allows rapidly disposing wastepacks. This enables the following methods:

* '''[[Death acidifier]]s''', which exploitatively deletes wastepacks carried on a pawn with the implant on death. This does not cause pollution.
* '''[[Subcore ripscanner]]s''', which exploitatively locks wastepacks carried on a pawn on death. The pawn's corpse can then be destroyed along with any wastepacks in its inventory. This does not cause pollution.
* '''Pollute the [[undercave]]'''{{AnomalyIcon}}, which also helps you deal with [[fleshbeast]]s since they are not immune to [[toxic buildup]]. Pollution of the undercave does not pollute your colony in any way, and they cease to exist once its associated [[pit gate]] collapsed.
** Note once the polluted tiles reach the Dreadmeld's room, it will slowly die of toxic buildup, triggering the cave to collapse as normal when it does.
* '''Pollute the [[labyrinth]]'''{{AnomalyIcon}}, but you must destroy all wastepacks there, or the [[warped obelisk]] will teleport them back to your colony when you leave there.
* '''Pollute the [[metal hell]]'''{{AnomalyIcon}}, wastepacks dropped there do not come back with your pawns.
* '''Pollute [[Quests#Ancient_Stockpile|Ancient Stockpile]]'''{{OdysseyIcon}}, for all the advantages of polluting the undercave, indefinitely.

The '''subcore ripscanner''' is a building added by the [[Biotech DLC]] that allows for the creation of [[high subcore]]s by ripscanning [[human]] pawns.

== Acquisition ==
{{Acquisition}}

== Summary ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Thoughts from use, traits and ideoligions that negate/modify them, whether it counts as execution for ideos requiring executions, etc. Use {{T|Thought}} where appropriate. What work type to enter or take pawn to enter?}}
The subcore ripscanner takes 150 W of [[power]]. Its only purpose is to form a [[high subcore]], an ingredient used for the gestation of the following mechanoids:
{{Ingredient List|High subcore|noCollapse=1}}

A high subcore requires 50 [[steel]] and 4 [[components]] to create. Then, a non-[[baby]] [[human]] must be selected from the scanner's gizmo menu, where they will then enter (if they are a colonist or [[slave]]{{IdeologyIcon}}) or be placed into (if they are a prisoner) the scanner for {{ticks|7500}}. The pawn then [[death|dies]] from destruction of the brain. This is considered an execution for all intents and purposes. The subcore ripscanner does not take pawns with [[scanning sickness]].

== Analysis ==
High subcores are used in the creation of a number of different mechanoids, and therefore how much they are needed, in what numbers, and at what priority depends on the need for those mechanoids. See the individual mechanoid pages listed in the table [[#Summary|above]] for analysis on their acquisition. Most mechanitor colonies will want them however, as the mechs on offer are some of the most useful on offer. Solo mechanitors in particular will value the [[paramedic]], which can rescue its master and perform [[surgery]] on them.

The primary way to get participants for the ripscanner are [[prisoner]]s, taken from the constant supply of raiders. It is also possible to use colonists who you would've banished in the first place.

If used in tandem with a pawn capable of [[death refusal]]{{AnomalyIcon}}, it is possible to obtain a high subcore while keeping the pawn alive after the fact. This incurs the typical penalties associated with death refusal revival, but can be especially useful when looking to ripscan [[horax cult|cultist]]{{AnomalyIcon}} raiders as they can then be sold, organ harvested, or ripscanned a second time.

=== Human resources ===
{{Main|Human resources}}
A high subcore requires {{Icon Small|silver||{{#expr:50*{{Q|Steel|Market Value Base}} + 4*{{Q|Component|Market Value Base}}}}}} [[silver]] of non-human material and is worth {{icon Small|silver||{{Q|High subcore|Market Value Base}}}} [[silver]], for a Market Value profit of {{Icon Small|silver}} {{#expr:1000 - 223}}. When used on guilty prisoners, the ''Justified execution ({{--|2}})'' mood penalty is applied instead of the usual ''Someone was ripscanned ({{--|6}})''.

Selling prisoners directly to a slaver or [[faction base]] often is more profitable; this only gives a {{--|3}} [[mood]]let per prisoner. However, human market value is dependent on a pawn's quality; sufficiently bad traits like brain damage, a [[peg leg]], or previous organ harvests can make a high subcore more valuable.

Organ harvests in general are more profitable: a [[heart]] or [[liver]] is worth {{Icon Small|silver||{{Q|Heart|Market Value Base}}}} and requires 2 [[medicine]] of any type to extract. However, this usually gives {{--|5}} mood for organ harvesting and another {{--|6}} for organ-murder.

'''Rough-hewn stone''' is [[terrain]] type that is automatically created where natural stone walls have been mined away.

== Summary ==
It comes in the same five variations as all stone products: sandstone, limestone, marble, granite, and slate, and will be of the type mined to expose it. The type of stone of a tile does not necessarily correspond to the type of rock chunk that will be produced by a [[deep drill]] at that spot. Aside from a small difference in walking speed, it is statistically identical to [[rough stone]] generated around natural stone walls.

Rough-hewn stone floor can be smoothed by a colonist with the [[Orders|Smoothing order]] to form [[smooth stone]], which is faster to walk across and more [[Beauty|beautiful]].
