'''Fungal gravel''' is a type of [[floor]]ing added by the [[Ideology DLC]] that is unique in its ability to have plants grown on it.

== Acquisition ==
Placing fungal gravel requires a pawn with the [[Ideoligion#Tunneler|Tunneler]] meme. It can only be placed underneath [[overhead mountain]].

Each tile of fungal gravel requires no resources and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work.

== Summary ==
Fungal gravel has a soil fertility of 70%, and has a walk speed modifier of 87%. It is statistically identical to stoney gravel. Fungal gravel can grow any type of plant, not just [[nutrifungus]].

It is ''not'' required for growing nutrifungus, which can grow on any type of soil, provided it is grown in complete darkness.

If left untended, in total darkness, it may spawn [[Timbershroom]]s.

Note that, unlike other types of soil, fungal gravel can be removed.

== Analysis ==
Fungal gravel has worse fertility than regular soil, but it can be placed anywhere under a mountain, thus reducing travel time for mountain colonies. When building deep inside a mountain, the reduced travel time is well worth the work required for fungal gravel and its reduced fertility. It is easy to compensate for low fertility by simply growing more crops - one rich soil has equal yield/time and yield/work to two fungal gravel tiles, before accounting for travel time. However, for shallow mountain bases, growing outside will be better. There is no bonus for growing [[nutrifungus]] on fungal gravel, and there's no extra penalty (beyond fertility) for growing other crops either.

[[Hydroponics]] have better fertility, but are significantly more expensive for both resources and power, and hydroponics cannot be used to grow [[devilstrand]]. Still, hydroponics are better in the late game for better stability and reduced space (thus, further reduced travel time).

Large and dark fields of fungal gravel are ripe for [[infestation]]s to spawn in - these can be used as bait so that infestations don't generate inside the main base. In any case, it is recommended to have chokepoints so pawns can [[melee block]].

Unnatural corpse

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 the 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 Unnatural Corpse appears with an orange "Strange Corpse" letter when it appears on your map via void provocation.

== Summary ==
The unnatural corpse is a dead, identical copy of one of your colonists or guests. While harmless at first glance, it will haunt their target until either it is destroyed or until it disappears. It is ''highly recommended'' you research and destroy the corpse as fast as possible, as it is nearly impossible to stop when it is activated.

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

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. Thus the teleporting of the corpse is completely avoidable by keeping the corpse in the camera, or just zooming out to maximum scale to keep the entire colony in view. If you do have something needing a close look, pause the game, which allows you to move the camera from it, and then move the camera back before unpausing the game. If the corpse was buried in a [[grave]] or [[sarcophagus]], it will teleport out leaving an open burial site. The same limitation to teleporting off-screen applies.

The corpse also does not inherit any of the original's body implants, such as bionics, but it will have any [[flesh whip]]s the original body has. It inherits [[psycasts]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, but cannot use them. It also inherits the [[genes]]{{BiotechIcon}} of the original pawn. It cannot be resurrected by any means, such as [[resurrector mech serum]] and [[deadlife dust]] from any source, including [[death pall]]s. Using the serum on an unnatural corpse will consume the serum but it fail, displaying a message stating ''"Failed to resurrect <PAWNNAME>. It simply does not respond."''

The corpse can not be permanently destroyed without proper study. The corpse can be temporarily destroyed by other means, including butchery which will yield [[human resources]], but it will respawn after around one day.{{Check Tag|Specific time?}} Additionally, the original pawn will suffer a "Corpse Torment" hediff every time the corpse is destroyed, knocking them unconscious for 24 hours and inflicting {{++|20%}} [[pain]]. Destroying the corpse does reset the cooldown to study it, so this may prove to be beneficial if rapid study is needed at the expense of the victim. Animals may also eat the corpse, unintentionally knocking out the pawn. Injuries that the corpse sustains such as skull removal will be healed if the corpse ever awakens. Studying the Unnatural Corpse and gaining 8 to 12 advanced anomaly research from it will unlock the ability to destroy the Unnatural Corpse, yielding one [[shard]].

If the corpse's 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.

All of these factors make an unawakened unnatural corpse a present, if relatively minor, threat to your colony. This will change if the corpse is ever given the opportunity to awaken.

=== 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. You are advised to destroy the corpse before it is too late. 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.

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. If uninterrupted, the corpse will instantly kill the original pawn by psychically incinerating the target's brain. This means it will instantly kill even [[deathless]]{{BiotechIcon}} pawns, and this attack is unavoidable. It bypasses armor, dodge chance, and has no interaction with [[psychic sensitivity]]. The hypnosis can be interrupted by certain outside sources: 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. If attempting to escape from it, [[Burden]] and [[Stun]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} can be used, though one must remember the corpse will inherit the [[psychic sensitivity]] of the original pawn. The [[Beckon]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} psychic power can temporarily disrupt the hypnosis.

The corpse cannot be trapped by any means. It can freely open doors and if unable to path to its target, it will teleport even 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. This can keep the target isolated by, for example, putting the target within a 1x1 niche, and blocking off the niche with 3 defensive pawns (who can attack and be attacked by the corpse). After the destruction of its target, the corpse will wander momentarily before disappearing. 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 outside of its psychic death glare, it performs as a normal unarmed melee fighter.

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]].
* Changes in [[genes]]{{BiotechIcon}}.

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 800 hp of damage taken, reversing damage done to it until its regeneration capacity has been depleted. Additionally it cannot die if the regeneration capacity is not depleted, making sheer damage attacks like a [[Diabolus]] [[hellsphere cannon]]{{BiotechIcon}} unable to one shot it even if the damage destroys vital body parts. This means it will easily survive [[antigrain warhead]]s and [[Orbital bombardment targeter|orbital bombardments]]. For reference, a direct hit with a [[hellsphere cannon]] may only take 200 hp off the regeneration total. The rapid regeneration can only be depleted through dealing damage, 100% severity [[ailments]] like [[Heatstroke]] nor [[Hypothermia]] will be unable to destroy the corpse.

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.

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 regeneration that can regenerate between 200 to 400 hp and any trait / [[gene]]{{BiotechIcon}} bonuses the corpse may have inherited and the fact the awoken corpses can teleport past walls, 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 to destroy the unnatural corpse as soon as you are done studying it.

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 [[cryptosleep casket]]s or a [[biosculpter pod]]{{IdeologyIcon}}. The awakened corpse does relatively little amounts of melee damage to try to break the target out. Assign one colonist to repair the biosculpter pods, and bring multiple melee-equipped pawns to engage the awakened corpse. You will be able to break through the awakened corpses' 800 hp worth of regeneration relatively quickly with several melee-equipped pawns. Keep an eye on the biosculpter 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 effect the corpse, similarly, 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. 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 haul and the unnatural corpse there then build a hopper there.

== Trivia ==
* A unique music track titled "Corpse_Attack" plays while there's an active awoken unnatural corpse on the map.

== Version history ==
* [[Anomaly DLC]] Release - Added.
* [[Version/1.5.4069|1.5.4069]] - Fix: Error when trying to debug spawn unnatural corpse.
* [[Version/1.5.4081|1.5.4081]] - Added field in race props to generate unnatural corpse defs.

Undercave

DuskTheUmbreon: Suggest to merge

{{Anomaly}}
{{Spoiler}}
{{Stub|reason=Compile rewards odds, compilation of unique structures and other defining features of the caves, differences in biomes if applicable, enemy types, etc. }}
{{Merge| destination = pit gate | reason = These two things are deeply connected and uninteresting without each other. Pit Gates are the things actually seen by players and should be the primary page. See [[talk:Undercave]]}}

The '''undercave''' is a sprawling cave network located underneath a colony, accessed by entering a [[pit gate]], which is filled with [[fleshbeast]] [[entities]].

== Summary ==
In order to enter the undercave, the colony must have a pit gate open in a prior event. The undercave is not a conventional quest site and does not appear on the world map, meaning you cannot [[caravan]] inside normally. Furthermore, pawns within the undercave cannot be added to newly formed caravans. However, an option to form a specialized caravan into the undercave can be accomplished by selecting "Enter pit gate" while inspecting the pit gate structure on the home tile.

A map will be created once the first colonist is sent inside to explore. Exploration begins at a random point in the tile, where a ''pit gate exit'' is spawned. On the same tile, a section of unrevealed cave will house a [[dreadmeld]] which must be defeated to close the pit gate. To progress farther within the caves, [[fleshmass]] must be damaged to create passageway or the rock walls must be mined out to make tunnels through the ground. A warning [[letter]] will alert the player when a colonist is close to the dreadmeld's position. Prior to defeating the dreadmeld, the cavern will be able to be explored at will, at the cost of potential fleshbeast raids{{Check Tag|Verify|Can fleshbeast raids occur while colonists are exploring the undercave?}}.

Once the dreadmeld is defeated, the undercave will become unstable, giving any pawns 10 hours to evacuate the tunnels. As this timer approaches zero, rock falls consisting of [[collapsed rocks]] will become more and more common. These may potentially damage pawns or items, or block routes back towards the exit. Anything remaining within the caves after this timer expires will be lost forever, including colonists. Once the undercave collapses, the pit gate will disappear which prevents reentry.

== Design ==
The undercave is a 100x100 map tile consisting of winding caves filled with fleshmass and fleshbeasts. The entire area is classified as being underneath [[overhead mountain]] and sits at a constant 15°C (59°F){{Check Tag|Verify|Same for all biomes?}}. [[Insects]] and [[Hive]]s can be found within the cave system, albeit rarely.

The ''pit gate exit'' is a 3x3 structure consisting of a rope line back to the surface, and is generated when the first colonist enters the area. It is the only method of returning colonists safely to the surface{{Check Tag|Verify|Do psycasts like farskip allow return?}}. A clear area with a radius of 5 tiles will be generated around the created exit. Colonists may return here to the rope and interact with it to return to the surface.

The cave network is generated similarly to how caves spawn within mountainous regions. [[Stone]] found within these caves may be different compared to the stones native to the tile where the pit gate originates. [[Ore]] veins will appear underground and can serve as an alternative to a [[long-range mineral scanner]] or [[ground-penetrating scanner]]. Underground plant life may also be encountered, all of which are listed below.

Most of the cave system is choked by large amounts of fleshmass which must be burned or attacked to advance. Within these walls, [[flesh bulb]]s can be found that light the immediate area, and [[flesh sack]]s which may contain a varied assortment of loot. Once the caves become unstable, most of the fleshmass will gradually dissolve which may reveal new areas not explored previously. These areas may or may not contain more enemies which can overwhelm groups if released in quick succession.

Much of the cave [[floor]] is made up of various stone types, or a flesh flooring wherever fleshmass was previously cleared from. Occasionally, patches of shallow water may be found that can impede movement. Rarely, one might find patches of rich [[soil]] with [[wild healroot]] growing from it. This may be harvested if the plants are mature enough, but will not grow further due to the lack of adequate sunlight.

The entire border of the map will not contain fleshmass and will always be surrounded in a type of stone wall. This wall may still be mined past like any other to reach the map edge. Strangely, the green border used to escape a tile found while attacking [[faction]] settlements will appear if any bordering rock wall is destroyed. However, this cannot be utilized as an escape method from the caves. It is unknown whether this is intentional or not.

=== Structures ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Likely missing entries in each subcategory and missing subcategoires entirely}}
All of the following structures may be found within the undercave:
* [[Fleshmass]] - A fleshy barrier which must be destroyed to grant passageway{{Check Tag|Add Details}}.
* [[Plants]] - Several forms of plant life can be found within the undercave:
** [[Agarilux]]
** [[Wild healroot]] - Found rarely within patches of rich soil underground, will not grow due to lack of sunlight.
** [[Timbershroom]]{{IdeologyIcon}}
* [[Ruins]] - Similar to the structures found above ground, multiple man-made buildings can be encountered within the caves. Examples:
** [[Ancient generator]]
* [[Flesh sack]] - Containers made from the same flesh as the surrounding growths they are typically encased in. A pawn may attack the pod which will then drop its contents on the floor nearby. For a list of potential contents, see [[Flesh sack#Loot|here]].

=== Dangers ===
Some sections of the caves might contain enemies. These foes may be asleep upon discovery and might wake up if the area is entered or a disturbance is caused{{Check Tag|Verify}}.
Enemies that can possibly spawn within the caves:
* [[Fingerspike]]
* [[Trispike]]
* [[Toughspike]]
* [[Bulbfreak]]
* [[Dreadmeld]]

The similarly themed [[fleshmass heart]] will not be encountered within the undercave.

DuskTheUmbreon: Holding this text here until there's a resolution on merging undercave into pit gate.

Hewwo!

I'm Dusk, an Umbreon. I occasionally fix small details on wikis.

Please yell at me if I break your formatting so that I know how to not break it next time.

[[Test Broken Link]]

Below I've dumped various things I don't want to lose (or want fact checked first) and I'm not really sure where/how to add it to the wiki. Might need formatting or tone adjustments as well.

== Boomalope math ==
Math rounded down to (hopefully) account for various inefficiencies:

Rice in hydroponics provides about .15 nutrition per day per tile. Boomalopes require .86 per day per lope, so that's ~6 tiles per lope.

A single greenhouse (ignoring heat) consumes an average of 3275 w/d, and has 96 tiles. This means a single greenhouse can feed 16 boomalopes per day.

Each boomalope powers 2.4 generators per day. That means each greenhouse powers 38 generators. Each generator provides 1kw, so all 16 lopes provide 38000w/d.

So that means 1 greenhouse feeds 16 lopes powers 11.6 greenhouses. The .6 will likely feed into the heat for the base.

Should be fact checked and account for extreme temperatures

==Ideal organ farming==
Hypothetical way to get all the organs from every prisoner:

1: Have a sang implant sang genes into a prisoner

2: Harvest that prisoner's organs

3: Have the deathresting prisoner implant into a new prisoner/slave

4: Harvest the prisoner/slave's organs

Each time, the fully-harvested prisoner will die, but you'll always get a new sang regardless because, ya know, you've put the genes into a new prisoner

Needs fact checking - this works in my head but I've rarely had sanguophages so I need someone to test that it actually works properly.

==Pit Gate==
For a [[sea ice]] colony, the cavern gains the additional utility of being a significant source of [[stone]], which must otherwise be scavenged from sites or bought. Paired with the [[provoke pit gate]] ritual, this creates a reasonably reliable way of sourcing stone.

Bionics

2026-02-27T19:03:55Z

DuskTheUmbreon: rm second "to"

[[File:Health item bionic.png|frame|right|The icon used for bionic-tier artificial body parts.]]{{For|all types of body part replacement|artificial body parts}}'''Bionics''' may refer to one of several different [[body parts|body part]] replacements unlocked by the [[Research#Bionic replacements|Bionic replacement]] research project. These are:
* [[Bionic arm]]
* [[Bionic eye]]
* [[Bionic ear]]
* [[Bionic heart]]
* [[Bionic leg]]
* [[Bionic spine]]
* [[Bionic stomach]]
* [[Bionic jaw]]
* [[Bionic tongue]]

They are equal or superior to normal body parts, and provide a bridge between the inferior-to-natural [[prosthetics]] and the superior but uncraftable [[archotech]] parts. Not all body parts are represented in every tier.

'''Bionics''' is also used informally to refer to [[artificial body parts]] generally, but is not used as such in-game.

== Acquisition ==

== Summary ==
The chemfuel powered generator consumes {{Icon Small|chemfuel}} 4.5 [[chemfuel]] per day and generates a constant 1000W as long as it is switched on and fueled. It can hold up to 30 fuel at a time, for a maximum run time of 6.66 days. Fuel consumption is not dependent on how much power is actually drawn. Fuel is delivered to the generator by [[Work#Haul|hauler]]s or [[lifter]]s.{{BiotechIcon}} It can be switched off; in the off state it will neither consume fuel nor produce power.

Generators are temporarily disabled by sources of [[EMP]], with downtime scaling to the EMP damage dealt. During this time, it will not generate any power. Unlike mechanoids, generators do not adapt to EMP and thus can be continuously restunned.

==== Light & heat ====
It outputs [[light]] in a 6 tile radius, with the nearest {{P|Light Radius}} tiles being 50% light level and considered lit. Note that the light source is centered at the bottom-left tile of the generator, rather than the "true" center of the generator.

It heats at a rate of 6 heat per second{{Check Tag|Exact mechanic unclear|Provides comparison with other heat sources but doesn't explain how much it actually heats}}. Unlike many other heat sources, it does not appear to have a maximum temperature and will continue to heat up rooms indefinitely.{{Check Tag|Confirmation needed}}.

==== Explosion ====
If it is damaged below one third of its hitpoints, or {{#expr: {{P|Max Hit Points Base #}}/3}} HP, it has a %70 chance to explode. The generator will spark and emit a hissing sound shortly before exploding between {{ticks|70}} and {{ticks|150}} later. The explosion deals 10 [[Damage Type#Flame|Flame]] damage in a radius around itself that depends on the quantity of fuel in the generator. At 0 fuel, the explosion has a radius of 0 and only destroys the generator, and expanding this radius proportional to the square root of the fuel times 0.95 up to a maximum radius of {{#expr: 0+((30*0.95)^0.5) round 2}} tiles when fully fueled. This explosion leaves [[Filth|Chemfuel puddles]] which will then ignite and burn.

== Analysis ==
Chemfuel generators are compact, can be placed anywhere, and offer a consistent source of power, making it one of the easiest generators to use. Most other power sources ''scale'' much worse; they are either inconsistent, have a location requirement, or take up lots of space. With chemfuel generators, you can easily place as many as you want, so long as you can fuel them.

However, these generators require upkeep, both to create the chemfuel, and to haul the fuel to the generator. The exact amount of work depends on which source of chemfuel is used - [[infinite chemreactor]]s are very limited, but require no work to create. Many colonies will have to research [[Biofuel refining]] to actually make some.

In general, any source of chemfuel is less work than what a [[wood-fired generator]] would take. The workload is reasonably low, so using chemfuel does not bring excessive burden to a colony.

== Fuel economy ==
=== Using wood for fuel ===
With a [[biofuel refinery]], chemfuel generators consume {{Icon Small|wood}} 9 [[wood]] of chemfuel per day, less than a [[wood-fired generator]]'s {{Icon Small|wood}} 22 per day. Both generators produce the same amount of power. Converting wood to chemfuel takes work, but harvesting wild trees takes longer when considering the time to walk and haul. When growing your own fuel, chemfuel generators have the added advantage of using regular food, which takes much less work than growing trees. Note that the refinery itself requires 170 W of power, but you only need 1 refinery for many generators. In specific:

* Converting wood to chemfuel takes {{ticks|2000}} of work for 7.78 days of fuel, or {{ticks|257}} for 1 day of fuel.
* Just harvesting the wood depends on [[biome]], growth of the tree, and Plants skill.
** With a Plants skill of 8, it would take a ballpark of {{ticks|260}} of work to harvest {{Icon Small|wood}} 9 [[wood]], a day of fuel, for a fully grown, non-cactus tree.
** For reference, it would take the same pawn a ballpark of {{ticks|650}} of work to harvest {{Icon Small|wood}} 22 [[wood]].
: As it only takes a base {{ticks|260+257}} to fuel a chemfuel generator for one day, the wood-fired generator is often less efficient.
* When considering tree cutting, note that you will need to go further and further to cut more trees. A wood-fired generator requires you to cut more trees, which means more hauling time.

Sowing a single tree takes {{ticks|4000}} of work, which makes them much less efficient than any food crop. [[Fibercorn]]{{IdeologyIcon}} is less efficient than regular [[corn]], too.

=== Boomalopes ===
A [[boomalope]] produces, at most, {{Icon Small|chemfuel}} {{#show:Boomalope|?Daily Milk Average#}} chemfuel per day. This takes {{ticks|400}} of work before modifiers. This is enough to fuel ~{{#expr:{{#show:Boomalope|?Daily Milk Average#}}/4.5 round 2}} generators, which in practice means 2 generators per day.

In theory, a herd of 9 boomalope can fuel {{#expr:{{#show:Boomalope|?Daily Milk Average#}}/4.5*9 round 1}} generators indefinitely. However, milking is not an instant process, so it is difficult to reach that theoretical limit in practice. Additionally, space for a [[pen]] and grazing, or growing more crops, are required to maintain fuel production.

=== Infinite chemreactor ===
The [[Infinite chemreactor]] is a world quest item that generates {{Icon Small|chemfuel}} 75 chemfuel every ten days (effectively {{Icon Small|chemfuel}} 7.5 chemfuel per day) at a cost of 300 watts and no work. This is more than enough to power a single chemfuel powered generator, providing a net +700 watts of power, while leaving {{Icon Small|chemfuel}} 30 chemfuel after a 10 day cycle (an average of 3 excess/day). 3 infinite chemreactors are exactly enough to power 5 chemfuel generators, providing an excess of 4,100 watts of power (5,000w -900w).

Assuming a small buffer of chemfuel to start, this is easily attainable, because the supply side is reliable, and refueling can be done well in advance.

=== Plants and biofuel refineries ===
Chemfuel generators together with hydroponics greenhouses and biofuel refineries produce a significant net energy profit, if the colonist workforce is available to run the setup. The (simplified) conversion chain is
{| class="wikitable"
|-
|''Power'' (for greenhouse) → ''food'' (for refinery) → ''chemfuel'' (for generator) → ''power''
|}
A lot of excess power is generated at the end of the chain.

A single [[hydroponics basin]] can produce ~{{#expr:4*{{#show:Rice plant|?Harvest Yield Per Day (280)#}}*0.05 round 2}} raw nutrition per day (growing rice, and assuming a perfect grow operation). This converts into {{Icon Small|Chemfuel}} ~{{#expr:{{#vardefineecho:chemfuel_per_basin_per_day|{{#expr:4*{{#show:Rice plant|?Harvest Yield Per Day (280)#}}*0.05*10 }}}} round 1}} chemfuel per day at a [[biofuel refinery]]. Therefore, the produce from a single basin fuels about {{#expr:{{#var:chemfuel_per_basin_per_day}}/4.5 round 1}} chemfuel generators. This is not attainable in practice, but will serve as a guideline. Assuming the full area of a sun lamp is occupied by 24 hydroponics basins in the optimal configuration and accounting for the basin's share of the sunlamps power consumption, each individual basin effectively consumes {{#vardefineecho:power_consumption_per_basin_average|{{#expr: ({{Q|hydroponics basin|Power Consumption#}} + (((19.2-6 )/24) * {{Q|Sun lamp|Power Consumption#}}/24))*-1 round 0}}}}W of power on average, or {{#vardefineecho:power_consumption_per_basin_peak|{{#expr: ({{Q|hydroponics basin|Power Consumption#}} + ({{Q|Sun lamp|Power Consumption#}}/24))*-1 round 0}}}}W peak. This results in a theoretical net gain in energy of about {{#expr:({{#show:Chemfuel generator|?Power Consumption#}}*{{#var:chemfuel_per_basin_per_day}}/4.5)-{{#var:power_consumption_per_basin_average}} round 0}}W on average or {{#expr:({{#show:Chemfuel generator|?Power Consumption#}}*{{#var:chemfuel_per_basin_per_day}}/4.5)-{{#var:power_consumption_per_basin_peak}} round 0}}W peak per dedicated hydroponics basin. While, the power draw of the refinery is not taken into account, it can be micro-managed if chemfuel is produced in batches, and will not play a big role in the overall economy.

With adequate batteries to handle the day-night cycle of [[Sun lamp|sun lamps]], {{#expr:{{#vardefineecho:generators_needed_for_hydroponic_setup|{{#expr:24*{{#var:power_consumption_per_basin_average}}/{{#show:{{PAGENAME}}|?Power Consumption#}}}}}} round 1}} generators are needed to power a full hydroponics setup, which will require {{Icon Small|Chemfuel}} ~{{#expr:{{#var:generators_needed_for_hydroponic_setup}}*4.5 round 1}} chemfuel per day, or about {{#expr:{{#vardefineecho:chemfuel_dedicted_basins_needed|{{#expr:{{#var:generators_needed_for_hydroponic_setup}}*4.5/{{#var:chemfuel_per_basin_per_day}}}}}}round 1}} hydroponics basins dedicated to producing rice to turn into chemfuel. This means that with {{#expr:ceil({{#var:generators_needed_for_hydroponic_setup}})}} generators, you can grow plants in {{#expr:floor(24 - {{#var:chemfuel_dedicted_basins_needed}})}} of the 24 hydroponics basins for free, with an average of {{#expr:(ceil({{#var:generators_needed_for_hydroponic_setup}}) - {{#var:generators_needed_for_hydroponic_setup}})*{{#show:{{PAGENAME}}|?Power Consumption#}}}}W of power spare. Note that this assumes 100% harvest efficiency - as harvest efficiency decreases at higher difficulties, the number of basins that must be dedicated to chemfuel production will increase in direct proportion.

Corn can also be grown to feed chemfuel generators, with {{#expr:4.5*2/{{#show:Corn plant|?Harvest Yield Per Day (100)}} round 1}} tiles of [[corn plant]] in 100% fertility soil needed for each generator.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/0.18.1722|0.18.1722]] - Added.
* [[Version/1.1.0|1.1.0]] - Refueling is now toggleable.

The '''fleshmass nucleus''' is an advanced [[entity]] added by the [[Anomaly DLC]] that will occasionally produce [[twisted meat]].

== Acquisition ==
This [[Entity]] is found after killing a [[fleshmass heart]]. The heart will leave this as a dropped item, and it can be captured as you would any downed Entity.

== Summary ==
The fleshmass nucleus can be contained on a [[holding platform]] or [[holding spot]]. It does not have a minimum containment strength, but must be contained to be studied and suppressed.

The nucleus will constantly gain activity (base 10% a day) as new flesh grows across its surface. A warden will need to suppress it to reduce its activity. The speed of suppression scales with psychic sensitivity. If its activity reaches 100%, the flesh will reach critical mass and form a new fleshmass heart. This will occur wherever the nucleus is contained and spread across the map like before. The new fleshmass heart will have a unique biosignature, requiring you to collect new [[fleshmass neural lump]]s to kill it.

The nucleus will also produce 3-6 piles of [[twisted meat]] around itself at periodic intervals with an {{MTB}} of {{Ticks/gametime|60000}} and a minimum time of {{Ticks/gametime|15000}}. The amount of meat produced is random but is strongly influenced by activity level, producing an average of 96 meat each time at 0% activity and an average of 220 meat at 90%.

A fleshmass nucleus has regeneration like a [[Ghoul]], meaning it can be harvested by [[electroharvester]]s endlessly.

A fleshmass nucleus cannot be ordered to be executed, but if it is not needed, a nucleus can be ordered to be released from containment. Then a pawn can be [[drafted]] and ordered to attack it until it is destroyed.

=== Yield ===
The fleshmass nucleus yields 3 [[bioferrite]] per day and 200W of power. Note that its daily activity gain rate will increase by +15% when it is connected to an electroharvester, for a total of 25% activity gained per day.

When destroyed, a nucleus yields 2 [[shard]]s and 1-2 stacks of twisted meat.

== Analysis ==
Compared to other entities, the fleshmass nucleus is much less dangerous when the colony does not have a strong containment cell. It can be held at no risk on any [[holding spot]] in any room; the only way a nucleus can ever pose any danger is if it is allowed to reached full activity and reform into a [[fleshmass heart]]. It will otherwise never escape on its own, never cause adverse effects, and not fight back when attacked. This means that it is viable to keep the nucleus inside a freezer so the twisted meat it produces will not rot.

Similar to the [[nociosphere]], at least one colonist should be available at any given time to keep the fleshmass nucleus's activity suppressed.

The nucleus's comparatively paltry power output makes the use of an electroharvester largely inadvisable, as even weak entities such as [[gorehulk]]s will produce more power while being far less dangerous in the event of an escape.

Keeping the nucleus at high activity can facilitate the farming of large amounts of [[twisted meat]], which has many uses. Most colonists will receive a painful {{Thought|desc=It was so gristly and stringy - like eating cancer. I want to throw up.|label=Ate twisted meat|value=-10|stack=1|duration=1}} when eating twisted meat, but [[ghoul]]s and [[animal]]s have no such reservations. Every animal type in the game (even herbivores like [[horse]]s) will happily consume [[meal]]s that contain twisted meat; [[warg]]s are the sole exception to this rule, but they can simply eat it raw. Colonies settled in [[biome]]s with low grazing potential - or that simply have [[Cooking|cooks]] with time to spare - can comfortably ranch pack animals on an exclusive diet of [[simple meal]]s that use twisted meat as their only ingredient.

Twisted meat can also be [[biofuel refinery|refined]] into [[chemfuel]]. The twisted meat produced by one nucleus kept at high activity can fuel over {{#expr:35*220*{{Q|Twisted meat|Nutrition}}/3.5/4.5 round 0}} [[chemfuel powered generator]]s, assuming average luck and sufficient pawn-hours for refining.

== Trivia ==
* The fleshmass nucleus, along with the [[nociosphere]], has a life expectancy of 5,000 years, which is used for selecting its age upon spawning. Life expectancy is not a maximum, so this means that a fleshmass nucleus could spawn with an age that would imply it was created before year 1 of the RimWorld calendar. As a new fleshmass nucleus is spawned upon defeating a fleshmass heart, the age of a fleshmass nucleus can change if the nucleus is allowed to reform into a heart and defeated again.

DuskTheUmbreon: Not all bionics are actually superior

[[File:Health item bionic.png|frame|right|The icon used for bionic-tier artificial body parts.]]{{For|all types of body part replacement|artificial body parts}}'''Bionics''' may refer to one of several different [[body parts|body part]] replacements unlocked by the [[Research#Bionic replacements|Bionic replacement]] research project. These are:

* [[Bionic eye]]
* [[Bionic ear]]
* [[Bionic heart]]
* [[Bionic leg]]
* [[Bionic spine]]
* [[Bionic stomach]]
* [[Bionic jaw]]

They are equal to or superior to normal body parts, and provide a bridge between the inferior-to-natural [[prosthetics]] and the superior but uncraftable [[archotech]] parts. Not all body parts are represented in every tier.

'''Bionics''' is also used informally to refer to [[artificial body parts]] generally, but is not used as such in-game.

{{About|the installable body part|captureable form of the revenant entity|revenant spine}}
The '''Revenant Vertebrae''' is an [[artificial body part]] added by the [[Anomaly DLC]]. It acts as a total [[Body_Parts#Spine|spine]] replacement that also grants the ability [[#Revenant invisibility|Revenant invisibility]].

== Acquisition ==
{{Acquisition}}

Revenant spines can be obtained occasionally through [[mysterious cargo]] [[quests]]. Otherwise, a [[revenant]] needs to be killed to retrieve its spine. A captured revenant can easily be ordered to be executed on its [[holding spot]] to gain its spine.

== Summary ==
The revenant vertebrae functions as an alternative to a [[bionic spine]]. It fully replaces a shattered or otherwise damaged spine, and both prevents and cures the [[bad back]] condition. It otherwise provides no other statistical, curative, or preventative benefit. If the bearer is not a [[ghoul]], they also gain access to revenant invisibility.

===Revenant invisibility===
Once a non-ghoul colonist with an installed revenant vertebrae is [[drafted]], they gain access to the revenant invisibility ability. This ability makes the target become invisible for {{Ticks|900}} after a brief {{Ticks|60}} warmup time. After activation, it has a cooldown of 1 day.

=== Installation ===
Installing the part requires {{Ticks|2500}} of work, 2x medicine of [[Herbal medicine|herbal]] quality or better, and a [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] of 5.

Once installed, the part cannot be removed by conventional means. It can be overwritten by the installation of a [[bionic spine]], however the vertebrae will be lost in the process.

If the operation fails, the part has a 100% chance to be destroyed.

It cannot be installed inside pawns that have already become [[ghoul]]s.

== Analysis ==
A revenant vertebrae's primary use is that it provides the ability to briefly turn invisible, a useful trait for a melee pawn to close distances without being shot, a ranged pawm to escape melee and create distance, or to simply avoid heavy fire for a brief moment. I has notable synergy with [[jump pack]]s or [[locust armor]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, allowing melee pawns to rapidly and safely close distance to targets. It can also be used for the purpose of allowing one to sneak a pawn into and out of a location without being detected, such as for hacking a guarded terminal, or any other instance in which stealth may be useful.

As with the [[bionic spine]], revenant vertebrae can also cure colonists with scarred or shattered spines, as well as the [[bad back]] condition. Depending on the colony's resources and research, as well as the player's luck, this may or may not be more practical than obtaining a bionic spine or alternative methods of healing, such as a [[Healer mech serum]].

Finally, revenant vertebrae can also be used to give to [[body modder]]s for a mood buff without negatively impacting any stats, unlike [[prosthetics]] and wooden limb replacements. However, due to the relative rarity of revenant vertebrae, this should not be a primary reason to install the implant, but rather a secondary benefit for a colonist that is already a candidate.

The main difficulty in using a revenant vertebrae comes from obtaining it. As it cannot be bought from other factions, the only way to obtain it is through:
* Researching bioferrite shaping and building a [[bioferrite shaper]];
* Finding and capturing a revenant, which can be both difficult and luck-dependent; and
* Holding enough advanced entities or constructing a secure enough cell to research revenant invisibility without the revenant escaping, or recapturing the revenant after an escape
all of which together is likely to take several quadrums. As such, although a revenant vertebrae is a rather useful prosthetic, it can take quite an investment to obtain.

The '''Nociosphere''' is an initially-dormant mechanical [[entity]] with one singular purpose - to inflict pain on those around it.

== Acquisition ==
The nociosphere will randomly appear on the map, playing a sound indicating its arrival. The location at which the sphere arrives is typically where [[traders]] will congregate. It will spawn in a docile state where it can be easily captured. Having a holding requirement of 0 makes this even easier, as it will never randomly escape or attack. However, it will require a warden to suppress it.

== Summary ==
{{Image wanted|section=1|reason=Abilites (combat and pain field) AOEs}}
The nociosphere is a black sphere with red highlights. The red highlights glow brighter the higher its activity level. Once it is captured it can be suppressed, and should it reach 100% instability, it will become hostile & attack. Study will reveal it can be used as a weapon on your local map. Extended study will reveal that it is becoming unstable; Suppression will eventually become ineffective. Even if not studied, it will become unstable with time. A warning [[letter]] will notify the player 10 days before suppression will no longer lower the nociosphere's activity, and an additional one once that happens - the letter content will vary depending if the player can manually activate the nociosphere or not. There will be additional warning [[message]] 5 and 2 days before it becomes unstable.

The sphere emits a ''Pain field'' in a 5.9 tile radius around itself which induces [[pain]] on any human or animal within it. This pain effect scales with both [[psychic sensitivity]] and the nociosphere's current activity.{{Check Tag|Actual values|Hediff page has details but they should be included here}} Upon entering the radius, the pain experienced by a pawn will quickly increase up to the current maximum based on the previous factors. Leaving the radius will have the pain dissipate at a similar rate. [[Psychically deaf]] pawns are immune to the pain field.

If it becomes active due being sent out to an attack or its activity reaching 100%, it will be active for anywhere between 90 and 120 seconds (chosen at random when activated). Once this timer expires, the entity will reappear in a dormant state wherever the origin of the attack was initiated. If it became active on its own it will end its onslaught early after at least {{Ticks|1800}} have passed if at least 40-60% colonists (minimum of 1, chosen at random when it becomes active) are dead or downed. If the nociosphere has less than 10 days before it becomes unstable, and is not destroyed during an attack, it will depart and cannot be looted. The sphere cannot be sent to a ''Pocket Map'' [[site]], even if that site originated within the same home tile the nociosphere occupies.

After being sent on an attack, the nociosphere has a cooldown of {{Ticks/gametime|180000}} ticks before being able to manually activate again. It is possible to activate its onslaught mode during cooldown by attacking it. Once the onslaught mode ends the sphere's activity is reset to 0%.

The nociosphere has a '''massive''' health scale{{Check Tag|Add Details}}, with some parts reaching 12,500 total HP. However, the sphere tends to be destroyed after receiving a total of 1,500 damage regardless of where it is attacked. This, in practice, causes the sphere to be destroyed much sooner than its health pool may suggest. This also prevents the entity from dying due to lucky hits where one part is targeted consecutively, a common weakness for most creatures. The sphere will not regain health after being attacked; Only a new nociosphere will arrive with full health, a sphere which was already sent to attack will retain its injuries until it departs. When destroyed, it will explode in 5x5{{Check Tag|Verify|Thats the section that has fires, but is it the blast radius?}} area centered on the nociosphere, and dealing ???{{Check Tag|Damage amount?}} ???{{Check Tag|Damage type?}} damage, and setting fires to flammable things in that area. The nociosphere does not leave a corpse when destroyed, but instead leaves {{Icon Small|Shard||2}} [[shard]]s, {{Icon Small|Plasteel||100}} [[plasteel]], {{Icon Small|Bioferrite||35}} [[bioferrite]], and {{Icon Small|Steel slag chunk||4}} [[steel slag chunk]]. Note however, that chunks will almost always be immediately destroyed by the explosion.

The nociosphere has several abilities, including attacks, which it can use while in onslaught mode:
* '''Entity skip:''' Teleports the nociosphere to a random tile within 99 tiles{{Check Tag|Verify|Range and purely rng target selection?}}. It then goes on cooldown for a randomly determined period between {{Ticks|180}} and {{Ticks|480}}.
* '''Agony pulse:''' An area of effect blast centered on the nociosphere or a distant target{{Check Tag|Add Details|Verify range}} with a radius of X{{Check Tag|Verify}} tiles. Causes +100% pain in affected pawns with a duration of X{{Check Tag|Verify}} seconds (acute), and +25% pain with a duration of 3 days (dissipating){{Check Tag|Add Details}}.
* '''Heatspikes:''' Fires a burst of 12 energy bolts at up a target within 24.9 tiles, with {{Ticks|6}} between each bolt, for a total duration of {{Ticks|72}}. There is no warm-up time, however the ability then goes on cooldown for a randomly determined period between {{Ticks|90}} and {{Ticks|180}}. The bolts do 18 [[EnergyBolt]] damage, move at a velocity of 90, and have a Touch/Short/Medium/Long accuracy of 90%/80%/70%/60%.
* '''Fleshmelter bolt:''' Similar to a [[Diabolus]]' [[hellsphere cannon]]{{BiotechIcon}} with a shorter aiming time and lower base damage of 100 points.{{Check Tag|Add Details}}. Deals reduced damage to mechanoids{{Check Tag|Verify}}.

If a roof collapses on top of a nociosphere it will attempt to teleport away to a nearby location. When that happens its activity will raise by 40%. If there are no valid cells on the map it will disappear completely.
=== Yield ===
The nociosphere yields 7.2 [[bioferrite]] and 720W per day.

== Analysis ==
Before becoming unstable, there are no downsides to farming bioferrite from a nociosphere as it will not destabilize faster and cannot escape unless its activity reaches 100%. Use of an [[electroharvester]] will cause its activity to increase at an extra 15% per day. Be sure to always have a pawn available for suppression to avoid an early escape, especially if farming electricity.

Moving the nociosphere to a holding platform or otherwise keeping it contained in a high traffic area may cause issues for pawns with the [[wimp]] trait or [[extra pain]] [[gene]]{{BiotechIcon}}, as if these humanoids enter the sphere's vicinity they are likely to collapse from pain shock at high activity levels. Even if not incapacitated, this may cause mood penalties among the colony. Pawns that are psychically deaf are immune to this downside{{Check Tag|Verify}}.

The nociosphere is ''incredibly'' strong. Extreme care should be taken when being deployed as an offensive or defensive weapon to avoid friendly casualties. If possible, it should be released against a threat that can keep it busy for most of its 90-115 seconds of onslaught mode.

Once it has reached the point where it can no longer be stabilized, it is imperative to get rid of it as soon as possible. If possible it should be released against a threat that can keep it busy for most or all of onslaught mode. If it is fully unstable and activates, it will enter its onslaught mode and go after everything living until onslaught mode is over. The ideal enemies to send the nociosphere against would be mechanoids, as they are highly resistant to its flame based attacks and do not feel any pain, negating its psychic abilities. This will allow the mechanoids to stall it until it disappears or even destroy it, especially if the mechanoid group is full of heavy weight mechanoids such as Centipedes.

After being released while unstable, it will disappear regardless of whether or not it is destroyed. Once the point is reached where it can no longer be stabilized, it is imperative to get rid of the sphere before it can attack the entire colony that houses it. There are multiple strategies for doing so:

=== Colony Defense ===
After completing the study of the Nociosphere, whenever the colony might be raided, or otherwise have hostile creatures within the home tile, the nociosphere can be sent to dispatch them. The sphere is much more efficient at clearing out grouped up enemies, as 2 of its 3 powerful attacks have an area of effect able to incapacitate or outright kill a majority of enemies. For groups of enemies dispersed throughout the map tile the sphere is much less consistent. This is especially true if the tile is also home to many wild animals, as the nociosphere will not prioritize attacking hostiles over neutral pawns. This will often cause the nociosphere to end its onslaught before all primary targets are defeated.

Even low threat raids should be considered a target for the sphere, as each fight will weaken the sphere for subsequent raid; This may allow the sphere's loot to be obtained before it is able to disappear permanently. Be aware that the fewer targets given to attack, the more likely the rampage can find its way back to the colony.

If desperate for a hostile force to distract the nociosphere, [[toxic wastepack]]s{{BiotechIcon}} can be used via [[transport pod]] dumping to initiate a hostile raid. Note that only low tech factions are guaranteed to send retaliatory raids, as higher tech factions might instead send toxic waste back to the colony. Raids initiated this way are also not guaranteed to happen right away, sometimes taking several days to arrive, so this must be done in advance.

Use of a mechanitor can also provide further raids on command by summoning mech commanders via the [[comms console]], [[mechband antenna]]{{BiotechIcon}}, and [[mechband dish]]{{BiotechIcon}}. Similar to wastepack raids, these must be called in much earlier than the nociosphere reaching 100% activity, as they might show up several days later. Of these 3 options, the mechband dish is the most likely to distract and outlast the sphere's onslaught; The [[apocriton]]'s ability to revive mechanoids and return them to the fight grants many targets for the sphere's weaponry. Furthermore, the sphere is less likely to leave the combat area due to the abundance of robot targets.

=== Distractions ===
The entity is hostile to most creatures, including mechanoids, insects, all mobile [[entities]], and wildlife. Nociospheres will not target pawns within [[cryptosleep casket]]s, buildings such as powered, unpowered turrets, or fleshmass spitters spawned by [[Fleshmass heart]]s, children under the age of 3, or other nociospheres (active or not). Nociospheres will ignore targets that are downed.

In the event there are no enemies, the sphere can be sent near [[animals]] to distract it until the end of its onslaught. Faster animals can sometimes kite the nociosphere until its onslaught mode deactivates. Be careful that these animals do not bring the sphere back towards the colony.

Active or inactive [[mechanoid cluster]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}} can also be a prime target for the sphere, sometimes allowing the entire cluster to be wiped out. Note that this method will likely destroy any valuable resources from the cluster, such as [[mech node]]s or [[unstable power cell]]s.

A skilled animal handler or a [[mechanitor]]{{BiotechIcon}} can use disposable animals or [[mechanoids]] to either kite or distract the sphere. The use of allowed [[zones]] can be helpful in keeping the trainer or mechanitor at a distance while the bait keeps the sphere away from the colony.

The use of [[psychic rituals]] can also serve as a nice distraction, provided the colony has the [[Bioferrite]] and manpower to conduct one. [[Psychic_rituals#Draw_Shamblers|Summoning]] [[Shambler|Shamblers]] is the best option as they always enter from a map edge which usually will not be right on top of your colony, tend to wander less than Fleshbeasts, and at higher ritual percentages the summoned horde will usually survive the Nociosphere onslaught with at least some surviving members.

In cases of urgency where suppression is no longer possible, a pawn with sufficient movement speed can be used to kite around the nociosphere around the map until the duration ends. Note that any creatures closest to it will change it's target and possibly bring it to your colony.

=== Direct Combat ===
Rarely, or within certain biomes, a large amount of disposable pawns may not be readily available on the home tile. Attacking the sphere and obtaining the loot stashed within should be considered secondary to protecting the colony and the structures within.

EMP weaponry does affect the nociosphere and the acquisition of such weapons should considered a priority if direct combat with the sphere is warranted. Directly attacking the nociosphere without EMP weaponry is ill-advised without end-game gear and/or highly skilled colonists. and/or a large amount of disposable creatures.

Melee attacks are generally ineffective against the sphere outside of a [[zeushammer]] due to the sphere's tendency to teleport away from enemies before attacking, as well as its agony pulse attack which affects a radius around itself. Any melee colonists should be equipped with [[longjump legs]], a [[jump pack]], or similar ability to both be able to do consistent damage and avoid damage themselves. Also when the Nociosphere is destroyed it explodes in an explosions likely to kill nearby pawns in a small radius.

Deploying the sphere at the farthest possible point can delay the attack by a precious few seconds, although the sphere's teleportation ability will quickly make up this distance if no targets are available nearby.

===Caravans===
Sending away all colonists from a map as part of a caravan just before the Nociosphere goes active can entirely avoid the risk of colonist death. Active Nociospheres will still target prisoners and tamed animals, which may make this approach harder for [[Sanguophages|Sanguophage]] colonies that may keep large numbers of prisoners for hemogen farming, or colonies that have large herds of tamed animals.

===Teleportation===
The Nociosphere can teleport within about a 20 cell radius. The Nociosphere can only teleport to an "unfilled" cell. Cells are considered "filled" if they contain a Colonist, animal, barricade, sandbags, column, fence tree, steel chunk or stone chunk. Furniture such as beds and tables do not stop the Nociosphere's teleportation.

Each colonist can be drafted and placed in their own individual 1x1 room, or colonists can all be drafted and crammed into a room of size equal to colonist count. For example, if you have 10 colonists, make a room that has 10 interior cells, draft the colonists, and have them stand in the room so every cell in the room is taken up by a colonist. The Nociosphere will be unable to find an "unfilled" cell to teleport inside.

=== Safe disposal ===

Since the sphere can only teleport 20 cells, digging a tunnel into a mountain to create a 1x1 space by filling up the tunnel again with wall, will allow one to teleport the sphere into the 1x1 enclosed space and safely wait until the onslaught timer ticks down without anything happening.

=== Beckon psycast ===
{{Royalty|section=1}}
When the Nociosphere becomes unstable, it will leave after finishing its next attack. However, the Nociosphere does not leave instantly, instead "charging" a teleport so it can leave the map permanently. This "charging" process takes some time, and if hit with the [[Beckon]] psycast while in this state, the charging process resets.

This means that if a Nociosphere is on the verge of leaving and you want its loot, you can wait out an Onslaught and repeatedly use Beckon to perpetually stun the Nociosphere without any fear of danger (outside of the Nociosphere needing to go through an attack phase beforehand). The Nociosphere will be too preoccupied with attempting to leave and cannot harm anyone, except for the explosion it creates on death.

== Trivia ==
* The Nociosphere's name likely comes from the words "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nociception nocioception]", which refers to the body's ability to feel pain, or "nocere" which is the latin word for harm/hurt.
* The Nociosphere has a bounding box that is 2x2 tiles in size, making it the only pawn with a box larger than 1x1.
* The nociosphere, along with the [[fleshmass nucleus]], has a life expectancy of 5,000 years, which is used for selecting its age upon spawning. Life expectancy is not a maximum, so this means that a nociosphere could spawn with an age that would imply it was created before year 1 of the RimWorld calendar.

'' For the [[faction]] of hostile mechanoids, see [[Mechanoid hive]]. For information about the [[Biotech DLC]], see [[Mechanitor]].''

'''Mechanoids''' are deadly autonomously intelligent robots.

== Summary ==
Mechanoids are machines. They do not eat, do not feel [[mood]] or [[pain]], and are immune to [[fire]], [[toxic buildup]], and temperature extremes - despite having a Comfortable Temperature range. Enemy mechanoids have no needs at all. As machines, they are vulnerable to [[EMP]] attacks, though will "Adapt" for {{ticks|2200}} (regardless of source), making them immune to all further EMP strikes.

Enemy mechanoids will automatically die if they are [[downed]] through damage, or if their [[Manipulation]] is at 0%.

===Mechanoid Hive===
{{Main|Mechanoid Hive}}
Hostile mechanoids are part of a '''Mechanoid Hive'''. They can be found sealed in ancient ruins in all biomes, which spawn inside mountains or outside on the landscape. They may also [[raid]] the player's base directly, or be found in most [[Crashed Ship Part#Poison Ship|poison ships]], [[Crashed Ship Part#Psychic Ship|psychic ships]], and [[mech cluster]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}}. They may sometimes appear dormant in Ancient Complex and guarding any relic with [[Ideology]]{{IdeologyIcon}} DLC.

===Allied Mechanoids===
{{Main|Mechanitor}}
In the [[Biotech DLC]]{{BiotechIcon}}, many more mechanoid types are added. You can create friendly mechanoids by [[Mechanitor#Acquisition|gestating]] them. A [[mechanitor]] with enough [[bandwidth]] is required to both create them, and keep mechs from going feral. The Biotech DLC must be active for you to create mechanoids.

These gestated variants require [[power]] and have to be recharged, which creates [[Pollution]]. Friendly mechanoids can be repaired with power and no other cost. As long as they leave a [[corpse]], friendly mechanoids can be resurrected for a [[steel]] cost.

Allied mechanoids do not consume any power while in a caravan and will return to their previous work mode when they arrive at the destination.

In the [[lore]], Mechanoids are autonomous intelligent robots built for a variety of purposes. The technologies required to build them vary based on the complexity of the resultant mechanoid, with [[Lore#Tech_levels|Spacer-level]]<includeonly><ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/></includeonly><noinclude><ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing">[[Lore#Cryptosleep Revival Briefing|Cryptosleep Revival Briefing]]</ref></noinclude> urbworlds<includeonly><ref name="Keuneke"/></includeonly><noinclude><ref name="Keuneke">Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Markus Keuneke|Markus 'Keuneke' Keuneke]]</ref></noinclude> being able to construct more simple mechanoids for companionship, combat and labor use, while only glitterworlds are capable of constructing the more advanced, quasi-conscious versions.<ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/> Others still are constructed and utilized by [[Lore#Archotech|archotechs]]. <includeonly><ref name="Codex"/></includeonly><noinclude><ref name="Codex">Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Ang Gao|Ang 'Codex' Gao]]</ref></noinclude><ref>[[Quest]] descriptions</ref>

In-game, mechanoids can be constructed and controlled with a [[mechlink]]{{BiotechIcon}}. Otherwise, only combatant mechanoids from a single, somewhat mysterious source are seen. There are some indications that the Mechanoids seen in-game may have been built by, or otherwise allied with, an ancient army, perhaps that of the [[Ancients]] faction.<ref>[[Orbital mech cluster targeter]] description</ref>. Whatever the case however, they have since lost any allegiances they may have had and are now hostile to every other faction.

[[Crashed ship parts|Defoliator ship parts]] are usually associated with orbital-drop mechanoid armies.<ref>[[Crashed ship parts|Ship part (defoliator)]] description</ref>

[[Insectoid]] ecosystems were genetically engineered to fight Mechanoid invasions<ref name="Megascarab Description">[[Megascarab]] description</ref> and thus the two factions are always hostile to one another.

* All mechanoids except termite have a 'clean' and an 'ancient' version. A mechanoid will turn ancient after 100 biological years, going from having a white hue to a faded light green hue, but the difference is purely cosmetic.

Colonies can trade with other factions by using [[caravan]]s and orbital trade ships via a [[comms console]] and [[orbital trade beacon]]. Tradeable commodities can include [[prisoners]] and [[slaves]],{{IdeologyIcon}} [[animal]]s, [[furniture]], [[gear]], [[resources]], [[food]], [[drugs]], [[sculptures|works of art]], and much more, running almost the entire spectrum of items in RimWorld, depending on the exact trader, what they have in stock to offer and what they are interested in buying from you.

To initiate a trade, a colonist simply contacts the lead trader. With visiting caravans, this pawn is signified by a yellow question mark "?" above them; select your trader, right-click the visiting trader, and select "Trade", and the selected pawn will march out to meet with the trader. For Orbital traders, who are not physically present on any map (see [[Trade#By physical presence|below]]), similarly, but right click the [[comms console]] and select the party you wish to trade with. When the two come together on the map (your colonist and trader or your colonist and comms console), a Trade menu will pop up. You can make a (partial) trade then, or not, or close this menu and continue with the game, then repeat the process later, as you wish.

Note that colonists that have "Social" disabled (due to [[backstory|backstories]]) cannot initiate trade nor activate a comms console.

Actual trade prices are determined by [[Trade Price Improvement]], a [[stat]] based off the [[Social]] skill of the colonist actually doing the trading. Trade Price Improvement is influenced by your trader's ability to [[Talking|speak]] and [[Hearing|hear]]. Damage to any such parts will hurt your trade prices, and you may wish to consider selecting, [[training]], or otherwise acquiring a different designated trader.

The trade interface shows what commodities are available to trade - the trader's stock, your colony's current available stock, and the prices to buy and sell.

* Items that the foreign trader has no interest in are shown grayed out at the bottom of the list; other traders may want them in the future, but this one does not (see [[Trade#By inventory|below]] for more information).
* Animals that have been downed are not listed for trade.
* All traders carry a limited amount of [[silver]], so they may not be able to buy everything you wish to sell. You can still give them things over this value but everything they receive will be for free, as they cannot afford to pay. In this instance it is likely better to not sell the items or to take the excess in useful or resalable items rather than get nothing in return.
* Selling a prisoner is profitable, but has a [[Thoughts#A prisoner was sold|negative impact on the happiness]] of all colonists (excludes [[Traits|psychopaths]]).
* Prices listed in green are cheap (does not appear with base-game traders), while prices listed in red are expensive.

== Game progression ==

=== Early game ===

Caravans consist of one or more faction members often with [[pack animal]]s and/or tamed [[animals]] in tow. Players can either form their own caravan or wait for others to visit their own colony. To trade with a foreign passing caravan, direct a colonist (preferably with high social skill and thus [[Trade Price Improvement]]) to speak with the caravan member who has a yellow question mark above the head. Stored items will be eligible to sell and appear in the trade window. Purchased items will be dropped in the location where the trader was standing and will need to be hauled.

Sometimes, foreign caravan members may fight each other and accidentally drop items from their gear inventory.

=== Later game ===

After researching the [[Microelectronics|Microelectronics project]], a [[comms console]] and an [[orbital trade beacon]] can be built, which allow:

* Satellite calls to request caravans to allied factions at a cost of 15 goodwill (or 700/1100 silver prior to 1.0). You can only call for a caravan from a given friendly faction once every four days.

* Interaction with orbital trade ships which will stay around for a limited time. A blue notification will appear at the right of your screen to announce the trade ship and its type. After it's gone, a simple notice at the top of the screen will note when the same vessel leaves comms range and can no longer be traded with. Each trade ship varies in type, which determines its inventory.

To trade, order a colonist to interact with the comms console. Only items located within range of an orbital trade beacon can be traded. Purchases will be sent via drop pods to a beacon's open-air tiles, drop pods will phase through constructed roofs otherwise. If all beacon tiles are covered, drop pods will land at the nearest eligible tile. Colonists using the comms console use the same [[Trade Price Improvement]] stat as when making trades in person. [[Prisoner]]s can be sold directly from their cell even if not in range of a beacon and tamed [[animals]] can be sold from anywhere on the map. The trade value of a prisoner or animal is based on their capabilities, injuries and skills.

== Trade prices ==
Trade prices are based on the [[market value]]. In general the selling price is significantly lower than the buying price. This is however dependent on several modifiers that can be seen in the tooltip when hovering over an item's price in the trading dialog.

First of all, the player's colony or caravan sells goods at 60% of market value, but buys goods from the trading partner at 140% of market value. These base values are further affected by the both the storyteller's [[AI Storytellers#Economy|economic]] and [[difficulty]] settings.

Some traders will charge 2x the price for the certain good, in addition to the multiplier on buying. Selling remains at normal price.

=== Trade Price Improvement ===
{{See also|Trade Price Improvement}}
This multiplier is affected by the stats of the chosen colonist. This is listed on the tooltip as <tt>"Your negotiator bonus: -''x''%"</tt>. Additionally factions offer a 2% discount when trading at a base.

=== Sell Price Multiplier ===
{{See also|Sell Price Multiplier}}
The selling prices of the following item types are affected by this multiplier. Note that this doesn't affect the buying price.
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Type !! Factor
|-
| [[Furniture]] || x0.7
|-
| [[Sculptures]] || x1.1
|-
| [[Weapons]] || x0.2
|-
| [[Techprint|Techprints]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} || x0.1
|}
The multipliers make it more difficult to farm raids for profit, because weapons dropped by dead enemies are not valuable in trade. It also means that crafting weapons in your colony only makes sense for personal use, and not for selling. The game encourages creating art for sale, as it is more profitable than all other items.

== Types of traders ==
=== By technological level ===
* '''Neolithic''' traders are tribal in nature and will be limited to selling neolithic level items.
* '''Outlander''' traders come from other faction settlements and are not restricted to a specific technology level of items.
* '''Orbital''' traders, or trade ships, are not affiliated with any faction, and can only be seen if you have a powered [[comms console]]. Orbital traders are always "high tech", although certain types (e.g., Farming, or Bulk goods) may offer items that are not particularly distinguishable as such (e.g., cows and corn, and wooden tables and wool jackets, are the same whether the source is neolithic or [[glitterworld]]).

=== By physical presence ===
* '''Faction settlements''' that engage in trading. They buy/sell everything within their technology level, have the most extensive stocks and offer a 2% discount.
* '''Land convoys''' have a physical presence on the map. They will leave the area if the temperature is deemed too dangerous for them to continue trading. They can come in two types:
** '''Visitors''' are small groups that carry all of their goods on their person. They may or may not have items for trade; even if they do, they often have few items and little silver to trade with.
** '''Trade caravans''' are large groups that carry their goods on pack [[muffalo]] or [[dromedary|dromedaries]], depending on climate. They have a moderate amount of items and silver to buy trade with.
* '''Orbital traders''' have no physical presence. They have large amounts of items and silver to trade with, and have the same trader types as outlanders.

[[File:Visitors but not traders.png|400px|thumb|none|Visitors but not traders, no character with ('''?''') sign overhead.]]

=== By inventory ===
Note that different merchants ''tend'' to only accept items of the general category that they offer - so don't necessarily expect to trade your wooden [[sculpture]]s for firearms, nor your piles of [[smokeleaf]] for televisions, nor your [[herbal medicine]] for [[meat|venison]], nor your valuable [[chinchilla]] furs for slaves, depending on exactly what ''type'' of trader is offering them. This is not true if you travel to a village site to trade, as then there is no "filter" as to what is offered or accepted beyond the general tech-level of that tribe.

All traders accept [[silver]], [[gold]], [[component]]s, [[insect jelly]], and [[packaged survival meal]]s, and many will accept [[pack animal]]s*.

: (* Combat Suppliers and War Merchants are not interested in pack animals. Note that any trader will not trade for an animal if the ''current'' temperature is outside that animal's Comfortable Temperature Range (which can be found in the article on that particular animal).)

All traders offer [[component]]s.

====Bulk goods trader====
: Bulk goods traders deal in [[food]] and basic materials, such as [[steel]], [[wood]], [[component]]s, [[gold]], and [[textiles]], as well as [[clothing]], [[furniture]] and domestic animals.

==== Combat supplier ====
: Combat suppliers deal in melee and modern [[weapons]], modern [[armor]], [[mortar shell]]s, (non-[[Herbal medicine|herbal]]) [[medicine]], and [[Sculptures|art sculptures]].

==== Exotic goods trader ====
: Exotic goods traders deal in rare and valuable items such as [[artifact]]s, [[television]]s, [[telescope]]s, [[Medical Items|bionic body parts]], [[Advanced component|advanced components]], [[drugs]], [[skilltrainer]]s, some [[furniture]], [[plasteel]], [[gold]], [[uranium]], [[glitterworld medicine]], and "[[Psychic Sensitivity#Effects|psychic" weapons]], among others. They may also offer [[pack animal]]s and animals of the wilder variety, or those not native to the local [[Biomes|biome]]. They do not accept raw plant material, not even drug precursors.

==== Shaman merchant ====
: The tribal variant of the exotic goods trader, the shaman merchant deals in lower tech versions of the same, including [[Smokeleaf|smokeleaf]]. They also may offer high-tech medicines and "[[Psychic_Sensitivity#Effects|psychic" weapons]].

==== Slaver ====
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Numbers on how commonality drops with population. See also [[PopulationIntent]]}}
: Slavers deal in slaves/prisoners, weapons, body parts, medicine, and drugs. The chance of traders carrying prisoners should go down as colony population goes up. Roughly, at a population of 8 colonists, slavers are still possible, if rare. At a population of 9 colonists, no slavers will come. A healthy slave (yours or theirs) has a value of around 1,000 silver or maybe a little more, less if they are suffering from a permanent injury, and ''a lot'' less (down toward 100 silver) if they are currently badly injured, even if they are healing up. Damaged goods are damaged goods, apparently.

With the [[Ideology DLC]], bought people will either join as a colonist or as a proper [[slave]].{{IdeologyIcon}} This is listed per person on the trade menu. Otherwise, slavers will only sell future colonists.

:: (The [[outlander]] variant of this trader was previously called a "pirate merchant" and they are still referred to as such in both discussion and the game code. Note that despite the name, <u>[[outlander]]</u> factions, not [[pirate]] factions, send "pirate merchants".)

==== War merchant ====
: The tribal version of the Combat Supplier, this merchant offers simple melee weapons and [[Weapon Guide|neolithic ranged weapons]], predatory-type animals, and tribal-level (non-[[Research#Medieval Research Projects|complex clothing]]) apparel of all sorts.

== Trader inventories ==
=== Faction base ===
Faction bases have an extensive inventory and deal with most things. They take 30 days to restock. The remaining time can be checked in "Show what will buy".

=== Orbital ===
In order to trade with an Orbital trader, you first must be able to make contact with them. This requires 3 things:
# a powered [[comms console]]
# a powered [[orbital trade beacon]]
# an Orbital Trader currently in the area - they are not always up there.
If you have the first two, you will be automatically notified when the third appears. The trader leaves in 16 hours, or {{ticks|40000}}, after arrival.

Orbital traders usually come with large stocks corresponding to their trader type. You cannot "request" a specific type of orbital trader the way you can when contacting allies.

Note that you can only trade items within the trade beacon's range, with the exception of living creatures.

== Trader behavior ==

Trade caravans that come to your colony usually pick a random ''camping spot'' outdoors where they will simply wander around and wait for your colonists to send a negotiator for trade. This spot may be in a ridiculous place, such as the middle of a river.

When hungry, visitors may use the colony's tables and chairs for dining. If exhausted, they may sleep on the ground.

They may start social fights amongst themselves, fight rival factions, or get attacked by wild animals. If harmed on their way to the camping spot, they defend themselves, then continue after waiting for a while ({{ticks|1200}} after the last time being harmed). Foreigners who get downed can be rescued, either by their own members or by yourself for a goodwill bonus. Any items dropped can be unforbidden and taken without damaging relations, however stripping clothes from anyone unconscious causes a loss of goodwill.

=== Leaving the map ===

After reaching the camping spot, traders stay there for a random period of time, ranging from {{ticks/gametime|27000}} to {{ticks/gametime|45000}}. They may leave a gift on the ground then, but only if they didn't lose a single pawn, including animals, in a violent manner (as dead, downed or imprisoned). A [[letter]] "Gift from <faction>" appears in case. The gift consists of one or two items appearing out of thin air; the items the pawns already have are never gifted. Thereafter, the leader of the group runs towards the edge of the map, and the others follow. The leader can still be interacted on the go, but it's rather hard to catch him/her up. Everybody leaves the map, one by one, the moment they reach the edge. This scenario, where the traders enjoy their stay for as long as they wish, is the only one with a chance for a gift.

If the visitors become unwanted or annoying, you can dismiss them similarly to trading with them: choose any of your pawns capable of Social, right-click on the leader (a pawn with the yellow question mark), select "Dismiss trader". Note: no chance for a gift if you do so.

Sometimes, foreigners leave the map before you have the chance to interact with them. They leave, if any of the following events happen:
* The temperature becomes too high or too low for them or their animals. (The raiders exhibit the similar behavior).
* The weather is anomalous: caused by a [[blood rain]] {{AnomalyIcon}}, any visitor's [[Hediffs/Anomaly/Global/Misc/Blood rage|blood rage]] {{AnomalyIcon}} exceeds {{Bad|15%}} in severity.
* Any visitor is trapped (cannot reach the map edge). The trapped ones try to dig out, the free ones leave without waiting.
* The visitors' faction became hostile to the player's faction. See [[Factions#Damaging_Relations]].
* The leader is lost in a violent manner (dead, downed or imprisoned).
* Any [[pack animal]] is lost in a violent manner. This includes animals which are not actually used for carrying goods.
* The group lost at least {{Bad|20%}} of the pawns, including animals, in a violent manner.

== Tips ==

{{stub|section=1|reason=Largely empty, consider expanding into full Analysis section}}

=== Sell if you have enough textiles ===

* [[Birdskin]]
* [[Dog leather]]
* [[Human leather]]
* [[Lightleather]]
* [[Patchleather]]
* [[Pigskin]]
* [[Plainleather]]

=== Tame wild animals right before trading ===

If you have a very good tamer such as one with [[animal personhood]] meme and many wild animals in your map. Try to tame the ones with high market value and low wildness and sell them immediately.

To reduce the distance your tamer has to travel, form a caravan and force them to pick up all the food they need and don't let them lead the tamed animal back to your pen. Some easy animals to tame are [[alpaca]], [[donkey]], [[horse]], [[muffalo]]

== Notes ==

* There is no trade bar for "silver"; that's just listed at the top of the trades column, and gets adjusted as items are selected to buy/sell. Once a trade is accepted, the difference in silver (positive or negative) automatically goes from one party to the other, up to the limit of that party's silver in stock. (Trader's silver can be seen under their "Gear" tab, your silver can be seen under Inventory/Raw Resources.)
* You cannot buy back prisoners you just sold as a way to insta-recruit anyone (exploit prevention).
* You can trade your expensive items (weapons, sculptures) for other desirable items if the trade ship doesn't have enough silver to complete the transaction. Of course, the amount of silver you can gain is lower, but it is usually better to have a lot of cheap items than an expensive one in your store. Sometimes you have items so expensive that no trader can buy them.
*When selling pack animals, they will bring any items that they are carrying along with them.

==Version history==
* [[Version/0.0.245|0.0.245]] - Traders are now rarer but carry more goods.
* [[Version/0.7.581|0.7.581]] - New trade system and interface. Traders carry and buy any item, including prosthetics, neurotrainers, organs, slaves, weapons, apparel, commodities.
* [[Version/0.11.877|0.11.877]] - Slave trader changed to pirate merchant, can still show up to buy slaves even when your population is high (though they may not carry any). A11B Fixed pirate merchants only bringing slaves when population is high. Reworked how slave prices are calculated so they take injuries, capacities, and skills into account better.
* [[Version/0.13.1135|0.13.1135]] - Ground-traveling trade caravans from other [[factions]] added.
* Beta 19/1.0 - Exotic goods outlander traders will no longer trade furniture. Some traders will now buy only some types of animals, not all. Traders will no longer accept typical short-life meals ([[nutrient paste meal|paste]], [[simple meal|simple]], [[fine meal|fine]], [[Lavish meal|lavish]])
* [[Version/1.1.2563|1.1.2563]] - Fixed bug that would cause traders to restock daily.
* ? - Farming trader, which offered domestic animals and various meats and vegetables, and Mining goods trader, which offered raw metals and [[plasteel]], stone blocks, [[jade]], [[chemfuel]], and [[high-explosive shell]]s, were removed.
* [[Version/1.3.3087|1.3.3087]] - Fix: Savage Tribe shows what it will buy.
* [[Version/1.4.3523|1.4.3523]] - Trade menu always shows player currency, even when it is at 0.
* [[Version/1.4.3555|1.4.3555]] - Increased the availability of gene packs from various traders.
* [[Version/1.6.4518|1.6.4518]] - Fix: Exception when trading.

An '''alpha thrumbo''', called an '''alpha thrumbo calf''' as a baby, is a powerful [[animal]] added by the [[Odyssey DLC]]. As the name implies, it is a rarer, more powerful version of the [[thrumbo]].

== Acquisition ==
A 'Population Map: Thrumbos' can be obtained through a quest. Upon reading the map a new quest location will be discovered. This quest does have a 30 day timer, so you may want to hold on to the map until you're ready for a long journey, as the quest location can be over 70 tiles away.

The quest tile will have an alpha thrumbo, accompanied by a few regular thrumbos.

Female alpha thrumbos will also mate with male thrumbos and give birth to alpha thrumbos.

== Summary ==
When an adult alpha thrumbo is butchered, it yields {{Icon Small|alpha thrumbo horn||1}} [[alpha thrumbo horn]], unless the horn body part is damaged.

Uniquely, [[thrumbo]]s can crossbreed with alpha thrumbos, with the resultant child being the same race as the mother - i.e. an alpha thrumbo mother will always produce alpha thrumbo children, and a thrumbo mother will always produce thrumbo children, regardless of the race of the father. Both species can breed with their own kind as normal.

=== Terror roar ===
Alpha thrumbos can be trained to use the 'Terror roar' ability on command as their special skill. It has two levels of training. Wild alpha thrumbos will roar as soon as they are angered.

{{Info|'''Guinea pig fur''' is a type of [[leather]] produced when a [[Skills#Cooking|cook]] butchers a [[Guinea pig]] at a [[butcher table]].}}

== Acquisition ==
The following animals provide guinea pig fur:
{{Leather List}}

== Usage ==
{{PAGENAME}} can be used as a material for [[stuff]]able items with the [[Leathery]] stuff tag.

{{PAGENAME}} can be used in the following recipes:
{{Ingredient List}}

== Analysis ==
Guinea pig fur is one of the least protective [[textiles]] in the game, 3-way tied for 18th most protective. However, it boasts the highest cold insulation of all textiles alongside a remarkable market value and [[Property:Beauty Factor|beauty factor]], placing 7th best in both categories. It has similar stats to [[Chinchilla fur]], but trades some item durability, market value, and beauty for additional insulation.

Its poor protection means its utility as [[clothing]] is negligible outside of cold [[biomes]]. In cold biomes however, as guinea pig fur has the highest cold insulation of any textile in the game, [[tribalwear]] made from it can allow a pawn to survive without having to sacrifice the greater protection of a [[duster]] made from a strong material for something warmer. As [[guinea pig]]s only naturally spawn in temperate biomes, sourcing a practical quantity of their fur will require importing and ranching the animals.

For use in [[furniture]], its place as the textile with the 5th highest beauty factor and market value makes it a good choice for improving furniture [[beauty]] and [[room stats]]. Be aware that, due to the low butchery yield of guinea pigs, gathering enough fur for even a single [[armchair]] would require butchering 7 guinea pigs.

Guinea pig fur's high market value also makes it a valuable commodity, especially if processed into a high [[quality]] item of clothing or furniture. If selling leather goods is your only goal, [[chinchilla]]s and their fur will provide around twice as much silver per day (roughly 21 silver per day per guinea pig versus 42 silver per day per chinchilla, when slaughtering adults). However, guinea pigs have a few non-leather advantages over chinchillas, as detailed on their page.

Cube sculpture

2026-01-31T21:27:18Z

DuskTheUmbreon: /* Summary */ Copied from the main cube page - note that cube interest is needed to care about the sculptures outside of their beauty

{{Stub|reason=Intro, analysis, additional infobox stats (e.g. minifiable)}}
{{Infobox main
| image = Cube sculpture.png

| cover = 0.35
| flammability = 0
| marketvalue = 18

| has quality = True
}}

== Acquisition ==
[[Golden cube|Cube]]-Fascinated colonists will go on periodic mental breaks {{Check Tag|MTB?|How often?}} during which they will build a [[sculpture]] related to the cube.

== Summary ==
The building speed and quality of the sculpture is affected by construction skill.
Be aware that this sculpture will use up a [[Inspired creativity]] inspiration, if the colonist has one.

The type of sculpture generated depends on the [[terrain]] or [[floor]]ing the colonist is standing on or by - no material is actually consumed to create the sculptures. The sculpture types and the related terrains are listed in the table below:

{| class="wikitable collapsible"
|+
|-
! Sculpture type !! Terrains
|-
| Dirt cube sculpture ||
* Marshy soil
* Mud
* Packed dirt
* Rich soil
* Lichen-covered soil
* Soil
|-
| Sand cube sculpture ||
* Sand
* Soft sand
|-
|| Stone cube sculpture ||
* Rough stone
* Rough-hewn stone
* Smooth stone
|-
| Scrap cube sculpture || ''All other terrains and floors''
|}
The different types of cube sculpture vary in name and texture but are otherwise statistically identical. The sole exception to this is that scrap cube sculptures have 40% flammability while all other have 0%.

The sculpture, once complete, can be freely minified and moved, but it cannot be deconstructed. It must be destroyed with attacks.

While the cube statue exists, its sculptor gets {{Thought|label=Cube Sculpture|desc= My sculpture... My beautiful Sculpture!|value= +1}}. This stacks with each cube sculpture they've created, without an apparent limit. If the sculpture is destroyed, including abandoned during a caravan, the sculptor will get {{Thought|label= My Cube Sculpture Destroyed|desc=My sculpture... My beautiful sculpture... |value= -5| stack=10 | multi= 0.75|duration=5}} and an increase in severity to a hidden "Cube anger" hediff. Each destroyed sculpture yields an increase in Cube Anger severity that scales with the current cube interest of the pawn. This hediff is hidden, and so its progress cannot be normally tracked.

The increase in severity is controlled by the following relationship:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
!
{{Graph:Chart
|width=400
|height=100
|type=area
|xAxisTitle=Cube interest (%)
|yAxisTitle=Cube anger per sculpture destroyed (%)
|xAxisMin=0
|yAxisMax=100
|x= 10, 50, 100
|y= 10, 20, 40
}}
|}

Once the Cube Anger hediff reaches 100% severity, the pawn will go into a [[Berserk]] mental state with an {{MTB}} of {{Ticks|60000*0.04}} along with a custom [[letter]] detailing the cause. Once the pawn has gone into the rage, the Cube Anger hediff is reduced to 0% and removed. The only other way to remove the accrued Cube Anger besides an eventual berserk state, is for the affected pawn to die. The hediff will no longer be present upon resurrection.

Neither these thoughts, nor the Cube Anger hediff, will affect colonists who are not interested in the cube. {{Check Tag|Detail Needed|Is there a minimum level of cube interest needed?}}

Cube sculptures have a small [[beauty]] rating, which is modified by the sculpture's quality. Cube sculptures have a 0.7x [[Sell Price Multiplier]], however traders are not willing to buy them.

Cube sculptures can be gifted to other factions by transport pod for increased relations as other items can be, but cannot be handed over by trading or caravan gifting.

Similar to items of high quality, all sculptures will have descriptions of the art work they depict randomly generated for them. For further details, see the [[Sculptures#Story generation|Sculptures]] page.

=== Meditation ===
{{Royalty|section=1}}
Pawns with the [[Psyfocus#Artistic|Artistic]] meditation focus type can use sculptures in a 10-tile radius to increase psyfocus. This includes all pawns who are not Tribal or [[Ascetic]].

The highest quality sculpture is the primary source of psyfocus:
{| {{STDT| c_07 text-center}}
! Quality
! Awful
! Poor
! Normal
! Good
! Excellent
! Masterwork
! Legendary
|-
! Base Strength
| +12%
| +16%
| +20%
| +22%
| +24%
| +26%
| +28%
|}

The other, surrounding sculptures give a much smaller boost:
{| {{STDT| c_07 text-center}}
! Quality
! Awful
! Poor
! Normal
! Good
! Excellent
! Masterwork
! Legendary
|-
! Strength Offset
| +0%
| +0%
| +1%
| +1%
| +1%
| +2%
| +2%
|}

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus 44% for a legendary sculpture surrounded by 8 additional sculptures of masterwork or legendary quality.

Golden cube

The '''golden cube''' is an inanimate [[entity]] item added in the [[Anomaly DLC]].

== Acquisition ==
There are two ways to acquire the golden cube:
* The [[Mysterious cargo]] quest involves either a neutral/allied planetary [[faction]] 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 golden cube. For further information about the quest, see that page. The golden cube 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 golden cube on your map. The monolith must be at least at Level 2 for the Golden Cube to appear after a Void Provocation. The golden cube appears with an orange "Golden Cube" letter when it appears on your map via Void Provocation.
* Note that these events can stack in order to acquire multiple cubes at the same time, posing a bigger hindrance than "only" one cube.

== Summary ==
At first glance, the golden cube is a harmless - if useless - item, which can be [[haul]]ed, [[stockpile]]d, carried, and [[caravan]]ed with no apparent effect. However, its presence on the map will gradually produce a powerful, deleterious influence on your colonists. This influence will only stop once the cube has been [[#Deactivation|deactivated]], though not without further consequences. The cube cannot be destroyed until it has been deactivated, and despite its significant market value, it cannot be sold under any circumstances.

=== Containment ===
Unlike most anomalous [[entities]], the cube does not need to be contained or suppressed. It can simply be kept in storage until pawns move to study or play with it. Each study session produces a total of 2 advanced knowledge, and it can be studied every 2 days. You can, however, prevent pawns from interacting with it by forbidding it. This prevents obsession from worsening, but will not stop the cube from choosing new victims.
{{Check Tag|Detail Needed|If the cube is placed in a caravan, will it affect the caravaneers? If so, will it affect them, or colonists on a map, as well? Will it affect pawns if placed in an Odyssey DLC shuttle?}}

=== Cube interest ===
{{Quote| "This person is drawn to the golden cube. If separated from the cube for too long, they'll start to experience negative effects."}}
When the cube spawns on the map, one [[colonist]] will immediately gain the cube interest health effect. Over time, other colonists will become afflicted as well. On average, another colonist becomes cube interested every 12 days. Once a pawn becomes interested, however, they will experience a series of buffs and debuffs that get more severe as the affliction progresses, and severe negative [[thought]]s if they don't interact with the cube regularly.

Initially, the effects are fairly benign; a cube-curious pawn will begin at 10% interest, and will stop work to play with the cube roughly once a day. This takes one in-game hour and cannot be interrupted once it begins except by drafting them. Additionally, all social interactions they engage in will now involve talking about the cube, "Wandering" activity wil now be called "Wandering and thinking about the cube." and psyfocus meditation will be changed to "Meditating on the cube." but all three are purely cosmetic changes. In exchange, the pawn experiences the {{Thought|label= Cube Joy|desc= My wonderful cube. My precious cube. I love it. It's so beautiful.|value=+15|stack=1|duration=1}}. Each interaction with the cube increases a pawn's interest level by around 6 to 9 percent, progressing the pawn to more disruptive behaviors. You will receive a notification each time a pawn's obsession worsens.

At any interest level over 10%, your affected pawns will occasionally stop work to build [[cube sculpture]]s, curious artistic objects that provide a small amount of beauty but require no resources. Although the sculptures are marginally useful, these mental breaks can occur at any time, including in the middle of combat. Frequency of these events is tied to the interest level, occurring rarely at first but multiple times a day as a pawn's interest reaches its later stages. Also, be aware that destruction of these sculptures can result in severe mood penalties and berserker mental breaks.

Interest over 33% is considered "Fascinated." Along with the previous effects, these pawns now have a small chance{{Check Tag|Frequency?}} of suffering random mental breaks during which they wander in a daze, thinking about the cube. They are also distracted from their tasks the rest of the time, working at only 90% normal speed. This is balanced out slightly by the fact that their Sleep level falls at 80% its normal rate.

The final stage - "Obsessed" - sets in once interest level reaches 66%. At this stage, the sculpture and daze events occur more frequently,{{Check Tag|Frequency?}} and the modifiers your pawns experience are doubled: 60% Sleep fall rate and 80% work speed. On top of that, your pawns suffer a +4% penalty to their mental break threshold. Given how much time your pawns spend doing cube-related activities - none of which have any impact on Recreation - your pawns will soon find themselves either miserable and Recreation-deprived or unable to find time to do actual work.

The alternative to allowing your pawns to progress their interest is to forbid the cube. So long as the item is forbidden, your pawns will be unable to worsen their interest, instead going into cube withdrawal.

==== Cube sculptures ====
{{Split|section=1|destination=Cube sculpture|reason=Would be easier to do stats atc. - leave brief summary here, with link to that page }}
{{Main|Cube sculpture}}
Cube-Fascinated colonists will go on periodic mental breaks {{Check Tag|MTB?|How often?}} during which they will build a [[sculpture]] related to the cube. The building speed and quality of the sculpture is affected by construction skill. The quality can be of any value, starting at awful for a 0 beauty score. 2 for poor, 4 for normal, 8 for good, 12 for excellent, and 20 for masterwork. Be aware that this sculpture will use up a [[Inspired creativity]] inspiration, if the colonist has one.

The type of sculpture generated depends on the [[terrain]] or [[floor]]ing the colonist is standing on or by - no material is actually consumed to create the sculptures. The sculpture types and the related terrains are listed in the table below:

{| class="wikitable collapsible"
|+
|-
! Sculpture type !! Terrains
|-
| Dirt cube sculpture ||
* Marshy soil
* Mud
* Packed dirt
* Rich soil
* Lichen-covered soil
* Soil
|-
| Sand cube sculpture ||
* Sand
* Soft sand
|-
|| Stone cube sculpture ||
* Rough stone
* Rough-hewn stone
* Smooth stone
|-
| Scrap cube sculpture || ''All other terrains and floors''
|}
The different types of cube sculpture vary in name and texture but are otherwise statistically identical. The sole exception to this is that scrap cube sculptures have 40% flammability while all other have 0%.

The sculpture, once complete, can be freely minified and moved, but it cannot be deconstructed. It must be destroyed with attacks.

While the cube statue exists its sculptor gets {{Thought|label=Cube Sculpture|desc= My sculpture... My beautiful Sculpture!|value= +1}}. This stacks with each cube sculpture they've created, without an apparent limit. If the sculpture is destroyed, the sculptor will get {{Thought|label= My Cube Sculpture Destroyed|desc=My sculpture... My beautiful sculpture... |value= -5| stack=10 | multi= 0.75|duration=5}} and an increase in severity to a hidden "Cube anger" hediff. Each destroyed sculpture yields an increase in Cube Anger severity that scales with the current cube interest of the pawn. This hediff is hidden, and so its progress cannot be normally tracked.

The increase in severity is controlled by the following relationship:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
!
{{Graph:Chart
|width=400
|height=100
|type=area
|xAxisTitle=Cube interest (%)
|yAxisTitle=Cube anger per sculpture destroyed (%)
|xAxisMin=0
|yAxisMax=100
|x= 10, 50, 100
|y= 10, 20, 40
}}
|}

Once the Cube Anger hediff reaches 100% severity, the pawn will go into a [[Berserk]] mental state with an {{MTB}} of {{Ticks|60000*0.04}} along with a custom [[letter]] detailing the cause. Once the pawn has gone into the rage, the Cube Anger hediff is reduced to 0% and removed. The only other way to remove the accrued Cube Anger besides an eventual berserk state, is for the affected pawn to die. The hediff will no longer be present upon resurrection.

Neither these thoughts nor the Cube Anger hediff will affect colonists who are not interested in the cube. {{Check Tag|Detail Needed|Is there a minimum level of cube interest needed?}}

==== Cube withdrawal and coma ====
{{Quote| "This person obsessively wants to find their golden cube. Their skin itches and their mind races, thinking of ways to get closer to the cube. Their symptoms will get worse until they play with the cube."}}
{{Quote| "This person was connected to a golden cube and then separated from it. Severing the link this way has put them in a coma."}}

If an obsessed colonist is prevented from playing with the cube for an extended period of time, they start going through withdrawal. When they do, they get the "Cube Withdrawal" health condition. Cube withdrawal worsens more quickly for colonists with advanced cube obsession{{Check Tag|Detail needed| How much per day by obsession level?}}. Cube withdrawal inflicts a gradually increasing penalty to consciousness, accompanied by a potent {{Thought| label= Cube Withdrawal | desc= I need to see the golden cube. Just once more. Please. / Where's that cube? I miss it. I need it! / Where is my cube? Where is it? | value=-15 | value2=-20| value3=-30| stack = 1}} debuff. If cube withdrawal is allowed to progress to 100%, the colonist will fall into a cube coma, multiplying their consciousness level by 10%. The coma can last anywhere from 3 to 24 days, depending on the colonist's obsession level. Upon waking up from the coma, the colonist will no longer be obsessed with the cube. However, nothing prevents the recently woken colonist from becoming obsessed with the cube again.

=== Deactivation and destruction ===
Once at least 4 research has been gained from the cube, you will receive a letter hinting at the cube's addictive impact on your pawns. It further states that the cube can be destroyed, but more research is needed to determine how. Although the letter says that the pawn studying it needs to study it to learn more, any pawn may perform research to further the investigation. Studying the cube has no risk of addiction.

{{Quote| "{PAWN_nameDef}'s investigation of the golden cube has revealed more. It is able to psychically influence anyone who interacts with it. Those under the cube's influence will experience extreme withdrawal if they're separated from it.\n\n{PAWN_nameDef} thinks that there may be a way to deactivate the cube, but {PAWN_pronoun} will need to study it further."}}

Once a total of 24-40 research has been gained from the cube, an option to permanently deactivate it becomes available. Doing so requires 1 [[Archotech]] [[Shard]] and can only be done by a pawn not currently suffering from cube obsession, destroying the cube and breaking its hold over your colony. However, this event will send any colonists under the cube's influence who are not already in a cube coma into [[Berserk]] Mental Breaks, even if on other map tiles. Pawns in [[caravan]]s at the time of this deactivation instead leave your colony permanently, so be sure to avoid deactivation while addicts are travelling. If you intend to destroy the cube with conscious addicts present, expect to lose pawns and keep your doctors safe so they can treat the injured.

To find exact info on how much you have and how much you need to research the GoldenCube you can open your save file with an editor, such as notepad++, to find code entry:
<anomalyKnowledgeGained>##</anomalyKnowledgeGained> and <studyThresholds>##,##</studyThresholds> under <def>GoldenCube</def>
The first entry is to find you total research on the cube the second entry is to identify exactly what the research needed is to get event completion the first threshold is always 4 as mentioned above.

There are simple measures you can take to avoid these violent mental breaks. Colonists already in a cube coma will simply wake up, cured of their addiction. Any obsessed colonist that is anesthetized when deactivation occurs will ignore the event and be free of cubic influence when the anesthesia wears off. It is not yet confirmed if [[mind-numb serum]] can prevent these mental breaks{{Check Tag|Mindnumb?|Mindnumb serums appeared to mostly work, but one of my 9 obsessed colonists, who had been mindnumbed, still berserked. It could be that only currently awake pawns can berserk? Seems to be tied to onlyTargetControlledPawns, from my rudimentary examination of the defs}}.

Be aware that colonists in [[cryptosleep casket]]s are ''not'' protected. They will immediately wake up, escape, and begin rampaging. One unorthodox but cheap and effective method to keep your colony safe from cube berserkers is to draft the afflicted pawns and trap them in isolated 3x3 wall prisons. When they go berserk, they will be unable to inflict any damage before the state wears off. Afterwards, simply deconstruct the walls to release them. Although time-consuming to set up, this approach only costs a small amount of wood.

If your entire colony is afflicted, deactivation of the cube is still possible with the help of temporary pawns from quests. Note that there is a small, but not insignificant, chance that new temporary pawns may become obsessed with time. Therefore, if you are relying on a newly joined pawn to deactivate the cube it should be done as soon as possible.{{Check Tag|Detail needed|Confirmed for desperate refugees and pawns accepted for hospitality, can other temporary pawns become obsessed? Do clones from the Warped Obelisk also have cube obsession?}}. Children (ages 3-12), since they cannot do research yet, cannot be enthralled by the cube, and so a child can be used to manually deactivate the cube while your adults are isolated, anesthetized, or otherwise rendered inoperable.

Alternatively, you can dispose of the cube via caravan dumping or [[transport pod]], but doing so does not remove your colonists' obsession. Unless the cube is deactivated and destroyed, your colonists will have to go through withdrawal, coma, and recovery.

Upon deactivation the golden cube drops 125-175 [[Gold]]. The exact amount dropped is completely random and is not affected by how many colonists were affected by it nor by any skill value.

[[Deathrest]] and [[Anesthetic]] prevents a pawn from going berserk when the cube is deactivated. Additionally, pawns who are away on [[Quests|Pawn Lending]] quests do not go berserk.

=== Multiple cubes in one colony ===
While multiple cubes in the same colony result in a much higher rate of addiction, the deactivation of one cube cures ALL colonists, so there is no separate addiction for the two cubes.

== Analysis ==
As with any anomalous object, care should be taken when a cube arrives. It is one of the safest advanced entities you can encounter, but can still prove frustrating as it drops productivity to a crawl. This is especially true for colonies with low populations: the loss of two or three pawns to low productivity is much easier to bear when you have others to handle their burden. So long as you have your researchers aggressively studying the cube every two days, you should be able to deactivate it before it influences many of your colonists. Dosing your best researcher with [[voidsight serum]] or making use of an occultist [[creepjoiner]] can speed up research dramatically. Once you unlock the option to destroy the cube, simply anesthetize the cube's victims before deactivation and the threat will be safely dealt with.

However, if you decide you wish to roleplay as a cube cult and keep it around, this is not entirely impossible. The introduction of the cube will gradually cut into your overall productivity, but will also grant a substantial mood bonus to any colonist allowed to consistently interact with it. Colonies with many pawns who are constantly in danger of mental breaking may find this useful, as the sizable mood buffs will change potentially dangerous mental breaks into smaller sculpture creation breaks. However, constant sculpting can prove troublesome as it not only wastes a pawn's time, but also takes up space with relatively low value sculptures which cannot be broken without a mood penalty.

The cube itself has a considerably high [[beauty]] value (about on par with a Good quality golden statue) which can even increase the mood of pawns who are not obsessed but simply share the same room as the cube. This can quickly increase the beauty value within a room colonists frequent, such as a rec room or dining room. Keeping the cube on display may prove difficult, though, as your pawns will attempt to play with it constantly. This may limit the display time and relocate the golden cube afterwards. Placing a dedicated 1x1 [[Stockpile zone]] for the cube can ensure that it always returns to a specific viewing point. Using a [[shelf]] instead will negate its beauty entirely.

Caravans are made substantially more difficult to form and maintain as any affected colonists will eventually be plagued with constant mood penalties and even a coma due to undergoing cube withdrawal{{Check Tag|Verify|Does carrying the cube within a caravan change this?}}. Often, you may be restricted to keeping any obsessed colonists at home while unaffected pawns can safely do quests on the world map.

It is desirable for pawns with [[tortured artist]] trait to be obsessed with the cube, as the frequent but harmless mental break will still give them creativity inspiration. If you suspect the mysterious cargo is the cube, you can give a pawn interest by knocking out everyone else or moving them off the map with a caravan before accepting it.

The '''golden cube''' is an inanimate [[entity]] item added in the [[Anomaly DLC]].

== Acquisition ==
There are two ways to acquire the golden cube:
* The [[Mysterious cargo]] quest involves either a neutral/allied planetary [[faction]] 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 golden cube. For further information about the quest, see that page. The golden cube 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 golden cube on your map. The monolith must be at least at Level 2 for the Golden Cube to appear after a Void Provocation. The golden cube appears with an orange "Golden Cube" letter when it appears on your map via Void Provocation.
* Note that these events can stack in order to acquire multiple cubes at the same time, posing a bigger hindrance than "only" one cube.

== Summary ==
At first glance, the golden cube is a harmless - if useless - item, which can be [[haul]]ed, [[stockpile]]d, carried, and [[caravan]]ed with no apparent effect. However, its presence on the map will gradually produce a powerful, deleterious influence on your colonists. This influence will only stop once the cube has been [[#Deactivation|deactivated]], though not without further consequences. The cube cannot be destroyed until it has been deactivated, and despite its significant market value, it cannot be sold under any circumstances.

=== Containment ===
Unlike most anomalous [[entities]], the cube does not need to be contained or suppressed. It can simply be kept in storage until pawns move to study or play with it. Each study session produces a total of 2 advanced knowledge, and it can be studied every 2 days. You can, however, prevent pawns from interacting with it by forbidding it. This prevents obsession from worsening, but will not stop the cube from choosing new victims.
{{Check Tag|Detail Needed|If the cube is placed in a caravan, will it affect the caravaneers? If so, will it affect them, or colonists on a map, as well? Will it affect pawns if placed in an Odyssey DLC shuttle?}}

=== Cube interest ===
{{Quote| "This person is drawn to the golden cube. If separated from the cube for too long, they'll start to experience negative effects."}}
When the cube spawns on the map, one [[colonist]] will immediately gain the cube interest health effect. Over time, other colonists will become afflicted as well. On average, another colonist becomes cube interested every 12 days. Once a pawn becomes interested, however, they will experience a series of buffs and debuffs that get more severe as the affliction progresses, and severe negative [[thought]]s if they don't interact with the cube regularly.

Initially, the effects are fairly benign; a cube-curious pawn will begin at 10% interest, and will stop work to play with the cube roughly once a day. This takes one in-game hour and cannot be interrupted once it begins except by drafting them. Additionally, all social interactions they engage in will now involve talking about the cube, "Wandering" activity wil now be called "Wandering and thinking about the cube." and psyfocus meditation will be changed to "Meditating on the cube." but all three are purely cosmetic changes. In exchange, the pawn experiences the {{Thought|label= Cube Joy|desc= My wonderful cube. My precious cube. I love it. It's so beautiful.|value=+15|stack=1|duration=1}}. Each interaction with the cube increases a pawn's interest level by around 6 to 9 percent, progressing the pawn to more disruptive behaviors. You will receive a notification each time a pawn's obsession worsens.

At any interest level over 10%, your affected pawns will occasionally stop work to build [[cube sculpture]]s, curious artistic objects that provide a small amount of beauty but require no resources. Although the sculptures are marginally useful, these mental breaks can occur at any time, including in the middle of combat. Frequency of these events is tied to the interest level, occurring rarely at first but multiple times a day as a pawn's interest reaches its later stages. Also, be aware that destruction of these sculptures can result in severe mood penalties and berserker mental breaks.

Interest over 33% is considered "Fascinated." Along with the previous effects, these pawns now have a small chance{{Check Tag|Frequency?}} of suffering random mental breaks during which they wander in a daze, thinking about the cube. They are also distracted from their tasks the rest of the time, working at only 90% normal speed. This is balanced out slightly by the fact that their Sleep level falls at 80% its normal rate.

The final stage - "Obsessed" - sets in once interest level reaches 66%. At this stage, the sculpture and daze events occur more frequently,{{Check Tag|Frequency?}} and the modifiers your pawns experience are doubled: 60% Sleep fall rate and 80% work speed. On top of that, your pawns suffer a +4% penalty to their mental break threshold. Given how much time your pawns spend doing cube-related activities - none of which have any impact on Recreation - your pawns will soon find themselves either miserable and Recreation-deprived or unable to find time to do actual work.

The alternative to allowing your pawns to progress their interest is to forbid the cube. So long as the item is forbidden, your pawns will be unable to worsen their interest, instead going into cube withdrawal.

==== Cube sculptures ====
{{Split|section=1|destination=Cube sculpture|reason=Would be easier to do stats atc. - leave brief summary here, with link to that page }}
{{Main|Cube sculpture}}
Cube-Fascinated colonists will go on periodic mental breaks {{Check Tag|MTB?|How often?}} during which they will build a [[sculpture]] related to the cube. The building speed and quality of the sculpture is affected by construction skill. The quality can be of any value, starting at awful for a 0 beauty score. 2 for poor, 4 for normal, 8 for good, 12 for excellent, and 20 for masterwork. Be aware that this sculpture will use up a [[Inspired creativity]] inspiration, if the colonist has one.

The type of sculpture generated depends on the [[terrain]] or [[floor]]ing the colonist is standing on or by - no material is actually consumed to create the sculptures. The sculpture types and the related terrains are listed in the table below:

{| class="wikitable collapsible"
|+
|-
! Sculpture type !! Terrains
|-
| Dirt cube sculpture ||
* Marshy soil
* Mud
* Packed dirt
* Rich soil
* Lichen-covered soil
* Soil
|-
| Sand cube sculpture ||
* Sand
* Soft sand
|-
|| Stone cube sculpture ||
* Rough stone
* Rough-hewn stone
* Smooth stone
|-
| Scrap cube sculpture || ''All other terrains and floors''
|}
The different types of cube sculpture vary in name and texture but are otherwise statistically identical. The sole exception to this is that scrap cube sculptures have 40% flammability while all other have 0%.

The sculpture, once complete, can be freely minified and moved, but it cannot be deconstructed. It must be destroyed with attacks.

While the cube statue exists its sculptor gets {{Thought|label=Cube Sculpture|desc= My sculpture... My beautiful Sculpture!|value= +1}}. This stacks with each cube sculpture they've created, without an apparent limit. If the sculpture is destroyed, the sculptor will get {{Thought|label= My Cube Sculpture Destroyed|desc=My sculpture... My beautiful sculpture... |value= -5| stack=10 | multi= 0.75|duration=5}} and an increase in severity to a hidden "Cube anger" hediff. Each destroyed sculpture yields an increase in Cube Anger severity that scales with the current cube interest of the pawn. This hediff is hidden, and so its progress cannot be normally tracked.

The increase in severity is controlled by the following relationship:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
!
{{Graph:Chart
|width=400
|height=100
|type=area
|xAxisTitle=Cube interest (%)

|xAxisMin=0
|yAxisMax=100
|x= 10, 50, 100
|y= 10, 20, 40
}}
|}

Once the Cube Anger hediff reaches 100% severity, the pawn will go into a [[Berserk]] mental state with an {{MTB}} of {{Ticks|60000*0.04}} along with a custom [[letter]] detailing the cause. Once the pawn has gone into the rage, the Cube Anger hediff is reduced to 0% and removed. The only other way to remove the accrued Cube Anger besides an eventual berserk state, is for the affected pawn to die. The hediff will no longer be present upon resurrection.

==== Cube withdrawal and coma ====
{{Quote| "This person obsessively wants to find their golden cube. Their skin itches and their mind races, thinking of ways to get closer to the cube. Their symptoms will get worse until they play with the cube."}}
{{Quote| "This person was connected to a golden cube and then separated from it. Severing the link this way has put them in a coma."}}

If an obsessed colonist is prevented from playing with the cube for an extended period of time, they start going through withdrawal. When they do, they get the "Cube Withdrawal" health condition. Cube withdrawal worsens more quickly for colonists with advanced cube obsession{{Check Tag|Detail needed| How much per day by obsession level?}}. Cube withdrawal inflicts a gradually increasing penalty to consciousness, accompanied by a potent {{Thought| label= Cube Withdrawal | desc= I need to see the golden cube. Just once more. Please. / Where's that cube? I miss it. I need it! / Where is my cube? Where is it? | value=-15 | value2=-20| value3=-30| stack = 1}} debuff. If cube withdrawal is allowed to progress to 100%, the colonist will fall into a cube coma, multiplying their consciousness level by 10%. The coma can last anywhere from 3 to 24 days, depending on the colonist's obsession level. Upon waking up from the coma, the colonist will no longer be obsessed with the cube. However, nothing prevents the recently woken colonist from becoming obsessed with the cube again.

=== Deactivation and destruction ===
Once at least 4 research has been gained from the cube, you will receive a letter hinting at the cube's addictive impact on your pawns. It further states that the cube can be destroyed, but more research is needed to determine how. Although the letter says that the pawn studying it needs to study it to learn more, any pawn may perform research to further the investigation. Studying the cube has no risk of addiction.

{{Quote| "{PAWN_nameDef}'s investigation of the golden cube has revealed more. It is able to psychically influence anyone who interacts with it. Those under the cube's influence will experience extreme withdrawal if they're separated from it.\n\n{PAWN_nameDef} thinks that there may be a way to deactivate the cube, but {PAWN_pronoun} will need to study it further."}}

Once a total of 24-40 research has been gained from the cube, an option to permanently deactivate it becomes available. Doing so requires 1 [[Archotech]] [[Shard]] and can only be done by a pawn not currently suffering from cube obsession, destroying the cube and breaking its hold over your colony. However, this event will send any colonists under the cube's influence who are not already in a cube coma into [[Berserk]] Mental Breaks, even if on other map tiles. Pawns in [[caravan]]s at the time of this deactivation instead leave your colony permanently, so be sure to avoid deactivation while addicts are travelling. If you intend to destroy the cube with conscious addicts present, expect to lose pawns and keep your doctors safe so they can treat the injured.

To find exact info on how much you have and how much you need to research the GoldenCube you can open your save file with an editor, such as notepad++, to find code entry:
<anomalyKnowledgeGained>##</anomalyKnowledgeGained> and <studyThresholds>##,##</studyThresholds> under <def>GoldenCube</def>
The first entry is to find you total research on the cube the second entry is to identify exactly what the research needed is to get event completion the first threshold is always 4 as mentioned above.

There are simple measures you can take to avoid these violent mental breaks. Colonists already in a cube coma will simply wake up, cured of their addiction. Any obsessed colonist that is anesthetized when deactivation occurs will ignore the event and be free of cubic influence when the anesthesia wears off. It is not yet confirmed if [[mind-numb serum]] can prevent these mental breaks{{Check Tag|Mindnumb?|Mindnumb serums appeared to mostly work, but one of my 9 obsessed colonists, who had been mindnumbed, still berserked. It could be that only currently awake pawns can berserk? Seems to be tied to onlyTargetControlledPawns, from my rudimentary examination of the defs}}.

Be aware that colonists in [[cryptosleep casket]]s are ''not'' protected. They will immediately wake up, escape, and begin rampaging. One unorthodox but cheap and effective method to keep your colony safe from cube berserkers is to draft the afflicted pawns and trap them in isolated 3x3 wall prisons. When they go berserk, they will be unable to inflict any damage before the state wears off. Afterwards, simply deconstruct the walls to release them. Although time-consuming to set up, this approach only costs a small amount of wood.

If your entire colony is afflicted, deactivation of the cube is still possible with the help of temporary pawns from quests. Note that there is a small, but not insignificant, chance that new temporary pawns may become obsessed with time. Therefore, if you are relying on a newly joined pawn to deactivate the cube it should be done as soon as possible.{{Check Tag|Detail needed|Confirmed for desperate refugees and pawns accepted for hospitality, can other temporary pawns become obsessed? Do clones from the Warped Obelisk also have cube obsession?}}. Children (ages 3-12), since they cannot do research yet, cannot be enthralled by the cube, and so a child can be used to manually deactivate the cube while your adults are isolated, anesthetized, or otherwise rendered inoperable.

Alternatively, you can dispose of the cube via caravan dumping or [[transport pod]], but doing so does not remove your colonists' obsession. Unless the cube is deactivated and destroyed, your colonists will have to go through withdrawal, coma, and recovery.

Upon deactivation the golden cube drops 127-174 Gold{{Check Tag|How is it determined?|Conflicting reports - is this amount based on variables such as construction or int skill? Is there an RNG element? (127 Gold was acquired at construction level 0, with 87% Manipulation stat) Appears to have some randomness - avg of 168 gold over 5 cubes but with a high of 174 all with the same pawn}}.

[[Deathrest]] and [[Anesthetic|Anesthesize]] prevents a pawn to becoming berserk when the cube is deactivated.

=== Multiple cubes in one colony ===
While multiple cubes in the same colony result in a much higher rate of addiction the deactivation of one cube cures ALL colonists. So there is no separate addiction for the two cubes.

== Analysis ==
As with any anomalous object, care should be taken when a cube arrives. It is one of the safest advanced entities you can encounter, but can still prove frustrating as it drops productivity to a crawl. This is especially true for colonies with low populations: the loss of two or three pawns to low productivity is much easier to bear when you have others to handle their burden. So long as you have your researchers aggressively studying the cube every two days, you should be able to deactivate it before it influences many of your colonists. Dosing your best researcher with [[voidsight serum]] or making use of an occultist [[creepjoiner]] can speed up research dramatically. Once you unlock the option to destroy the cube, simply anesthetize the cube's victims before deactivation and the threat will be safely dealt with.

However, if you decide you wish to roleplay as a cube cult and keep it around, this is not entirely impossible. The introduction of the cube will gradually cut into your overall productivity, but will also grant a substantial mood bonus to any colonist allowed to consistently interact with it. Colonies with many pawns who are constantly in danger of mental breaking may find this useful, as the sizable mood buffs will change potentially dangerous mental breaks into smaller sculpture creation breaks. However, constant sculpting can prove troublesome as it not only wastes a pawn's time, but also takes up space with relatively low value sculptures which cannot be broken without a mood penalty.

The cube itself has a considerably high [[beauty]] value (about on par with a Good quality golden statue) which can even increase the mood of pawns who are not obsessed but simply share the same room as the cube. This can quickly increase the beauty value within a room colonists frequent, such as a rec room or dining room. Keeping the cube on display may prove difficult, though, as your pawns will attempt to play with it constantly. This may limit the display time and relocate the golden cube afterwards. Placing a dedicated 1x1 [[Stockpile zone]] for the cube can ensure that it always returns to a specific viewing point. Using a [[shelf]] instead will negate its beauty entirely.

Caravans are made substantially more difficult to form and maintain as any affected colonists will eventually be plagued with constant mood penalties and even a coma due to undergoing cube withdrawal{{Check Tag|Verify|Does carrying the cube within a caravan change this?}}. Often, you may be restricted to keeping any obsessed colonists at home while unaffected pawns can safely do quests on the world map.

It is desirable for pawns with [[tortured artist]] trait to be obsessed with the cube, as the frequent but harmless mental break will still give them creativity inspiration. If you suspect the mysterious cargo is the cube, you can give a pawn interest by knocking out everyone else or moving them off the map with a caravan before accepting it.

Creepjoiner

DuskTheUmbreon: /* Drawbacks */ checktag on downside count, wikilink to disturbing trait, specify that disturbing is immediately apparent

{{Anomaly}}
{{Rewrite|reason=table ala [[Psycasts]] with ids flr crosslinking, ability icons (where relevant) and mechanical details}}
{{Stub|reason=Missing a ton of detail on the various effects}}
Creepjoiners are an exclusive event for the [[Anomaly]] DLC. They are pawns who will randomly arrive at your colony offering to join, often providing great benefits however potentially bringing a hidden downside. You can encounter creepjoiners even if you have not yet activated the [[monolith]].

== Summary ==

A random pawn appears that wants to join your colony. The pawn waits on the edge of your map for someone to be sent to talk to them. They usually have some great benefit, but come with large risks too.

If rejected, they can either depart peacefully or become hostile.

Joiners have a specific list of upsides and possible downsides. Not all combinations below are possible. For some options there is a minimum raid point requirement (e.g. metalhorror or fleshbeast emergence), and some types will be limited in their downsides and benefits (e.g., blind healer will always have unnatural healing, or someone with joybringer cannot have disturbing).

Creepjoiners can be studied for if taken prisoner, as can some of their side effects such as [[entities]]. Creepjoiners are studied for Advanced Anomaly Research and give 2 Advanced Research with a cooldown of 2 days. The Creep joiner must be walking to be possible to be studied.

The [[monolith]] does not need to be active for creepjoiners to appear.

=== Types ===

Main creepjoiner types (each has its unique backstory and equipment):

* Leathery stranger
* Dark scholar
* Deal maker — Has the [[Beautiful]] trait in addition to their other benefit
* Drifter
* Blind healer — Usually missing both eyes, which can be replaced with surgery
* Timeless one — Usually a very young adult
* Cult escapee - Usually has many surgical scars and/or removed body parts
* Lone genius - Always has the [[Too smart]] and [[Abrasive]] traits.

=== Benefits ===

They can have one of the following benefits:

* Perfect human — Has the [[perfect memory]] and [[industrious]] trait and 14 to 18 in all skills. The perfect memory trait prevents their skills from degrading.
* Occultist — Has a bonus to research
* Shambler overlord — Has an ability to create friendly [[shambler]]s through a release [[Research#Deadlife_dust|deadlife dust]] cloud power.
* Fleshcrafter — Has a Shape Flesh ability with a 1 hour cooldown, which converts a corpse into a [[fleshbeast]] that is hostile to all humans. The Fleshbeast created depends on the size of the corpse.
* Alchemist — Has a Transmute Steel ability with a 20 hour cooldown, which randomly converts one stack of [[steel]] or a steel slag chunk into [[plasteel]], [[uranium]], [[gold]], [[bioferrite]], or [[twisted meat]]; or a [[stuff]]able item or building made from steel into [[plasteel]], [[uranium]], [[gold]], or [[bioferrite]].
* Joybringer — Has the [[Joyous]] trait, which provides a passive {{good|+3}} '''joyous presence''' mood buff to all pawns in your colony anywhere within the same map
* Death refusal — Has the ability to self-resurrect themselves up to 4 times, healing lost limbs and organs each time. Scarring and resurrection sickness are possible.
* Body master — Has the [[body mastery]] trait, which completely removes the pawn's need for [[food]], [[sleep]], and [[comfort]].
* Psychic butcher — Has an ability that can instantly kill and butcher pawns/animals/entities, turning them into twisted flesh.

=== Drawbacks ===

They can come with multiple downsides{{Check Tag|How many?}} as well, which occurs after a 3-30 day delay while living with your colony:

* Nothing
* Desertion — The colonist will suddenly depart. Capturing and re-recruiting may only delay the desertion again.
* Traitor — The colonist will suddenly become hostile, accompanied by a message about their evil expression.
* Metalhorror — The colonist is infected with a [[metalhorror]] (requires level 2 Monolith).
* Crumbling mind — The colonist will experience a severe health effect that renders them incapable of most tasks within a few days. The crumbling can be healed with a [[healer mech serum]] or by having another joiner use Unnatural Healing.
* Entity jailbreaker — The colonist will suddenly attempt to free all of your contained [[entities]].
* Psychic agony — The colonist emits a psychic pulse, on average once every 30 days, inflicting a large amount of psychic [[pain]] on nearby pawns. The pain is often enough to down your other colonists temporarily, and then lingers for multiple days at lower levels. [[Psychic sensitivity]] applies to this effect.
** If a surgical inspection is made on a Human who does this, this will be the results: "''(human) detected a faint but painful psychic presence emanating from (human) but failed to understand what was causing it''"
** This Event is very rare, and seems to only trigger when humans are grouped up, though it could be random. When it happens, all nearby humans will gain 100% pain for a little bit {{Check Tag|Seconds? Hours?}}, reduced to 25% soon after, which last between 2-5 days. This can be sufficient to kill pawns.
* Organ decay — The colonist will suddenly develop severe organ decay, requiring you to replace their [[heart]], [[liver]], [[kidney]]s, and/or [[lung]]s.
* [[Traits#Creepjoiner_Traits|Disturbing]] — The colonist upsets other colonists, giving them a {{bad|-2}} '''[name] rambling''' moodlet when interacting with them, which can stack up to {{--|12}} mood.
** Disturbing is the only drawback to be immediately apparent, as it is simply an always-present trait.

Separate from the downsides listed above, Creep joiners will become hostile if they receive friendly fire damage. This aggressive state on friendly fire damage can only occur once. If a Creep Joiner receives friendly fire, becomes captured, and then joins the colony, they will not respond to friendly fire with aggression. When recruiting creep joiners, it's recommended to sedate them, punch them once to trigger their initial friendly fire hostility, and proceed to capture and recruit them like any other hostile pawn.

If they become aggressive, they can react in various ways:

* Basic assault
* Fleshbeast emergence — A [[fleshbeast]] emerges from the joiner, killing them in the process.
* Sightstealer attack — The joiner will scream and summon [[sightstealer]]s.

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

Creep joiners initially start as Unwaveringly Loyal. If they are allowed to join your colony, the Unwaveringly Loyal aspect is removed permanently.

== Pawn Kinds ==

{{:Creepjoiner/Pawns}}

== Analysis ==

Creepjoiners often have many powerful, colony-changing abilities. Evaluate the possible tradeoffs above, and be prepared to deal with sudden turncoat behavior. Inspect the pawn's entire bio and health tab carefully before recruiting them. Some creepjoiners such as the perfect human can be incredible and frankly game-changing if acquired, however one must decide whether the potential risks they may bring are worth it. Additionally, you may also want to consider the potential downsides of not recruiting the creepjoiner (such as a potential aggressive response).

Performing a medical inspection surgery right after recruiting a creepjoiner can sometimes reveal their downside early. However, not all downsides can be revealed with a medical inspection, so even if a medical inspection has no results then it is still necessary to stay vigilant.

Creepjoiners with crumbling minds or organ decay can be paused until you're able to deal with the issue by placing the colonist inside a [[cryptosleep casket]]. You will want to be prepared to potentially lose the creepjoiner for a very long time however (especially if they suffer from crumbling mind, which may require something as rare as a healer mech serum to cure), so be prepared if they carry out essential jobs such as cooking or farming.

If a creepjoiner's downsides cannot immediately be determined then it may be useful to keep them isolated from other colonists (such as utilising areas to restrict their movement or using a schedule that isolates them) until the downside either is discovered or reveals itself. This can be beneficial if the downside turns out to be one that can potentially affect other colonists, such as a Metalhorror.

Due to the risk of a recruited creepjoiner suddenly deserting the colony after a few days, 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 up to them and you will consequently lose the equipment.

Corrupted obelisk

{{Infobox main

}}

INTRO TEXT

== Acquisition ==
The corrupted obelisk can spawn in the map as a random anomaly event.

== Summary ==
The Corrupted Obelisk <small>also referred to as the "Duplicator"</small> has a chance to spawn at any point after activating the Void monolith. You have 2 initial options when you encounter the Obelisk in your world: study and/or suppress.
<small>(auto-suppress is not on by default; it can be activated by clicking the obelisk and setting the hand on the activity meter to a green check.)</small>

Attacking a Corrupted Obelisk, or allowing its activity to reach 100%, will cause hostile duplicates to spawn all around your colonists. These duplicates will spawn with the same traits, backstories, skills, and health conditions of your own colonists, but without any gear or bionics. Duplicate spawns are not be concentrated in any particular area; instead, they spawn randomly in proximity to any colonist.

When a colonist interacts with the obelisk <small>(studying/suppressing)</small> there is a chance a duplicate of the colonist will be created. The duplicated colonist will be identical in every way, including current mood thoughts, [[Ideoligion]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, injuries, and any ongoing illnesses or drug effects (including [[pregnancy]]{{BiotechIcon}}), but will have no equipment and no artificial body parts except for psylinks and fleshmass organs. Any artificial body parts will be replaced with the healthy, natural form, including all subparts that may be removed by the artificial part (e.g. a [[prosthetic arm]] will be replaced with an organic arm, including the hand and fingers). Higher obelisk activity increases the chance of duplication.

Notably, no social opinions are copied to the duplicate, not even familial relationships. There is also no special relationship between the original and duplicate.

After 10 Anomaly research at the obelisk a duplication button will appear (30 day cooldown). After 30 Anomaly research at the obelisk, a deactivation button will appear. The obelisk costs 2 [[Shard]]s to deactivate. A deactivated obelisk will not need to be suppressed, but can no longer duplicate pawns.

When the corrupted obelisk is triggered a duplicate is made of the interactor with ''one'' of the following conditions:

* '''Hostile Duplicate:''' The duplicate is hostile and will immediately attack. The stronger your colonist the stronger your foe. Can be captured and recruited!

* '''Multiple Organ Decay:''' Several of the duplicate's vital organs have "Organ decay", which causes increasing pain and reduced efficiency and will eventually kill the pawn. Known cure: Replace the decaying organs.

* '''Duplication Sickness:''' Both the original and the duplicate suffer from lowered consciousness, Gets worse over the course of a few days, with the final stage being max 10% consciousness while both are alive. Known cures: Terminate one of the two, Unnatural Healing from creepjoiners.

* '''Crumbling Mind:''' The duplicate will begin losing all their skills and have a locked consciousness of 60%, After 2-3 days becomes permanent and incurable. Colonists that reach the final stage will be unable to do Skilled Labor, Dumb Labor, Caring or Intellectual Jobs. Known cures: [[healer mech serum]]; Unnatural Healing from creepjoiners; killing them, removing their skull, and reviving with [[resurrector mech serum]] or death refusal. The bioregeneration cycle from biosculpting pods is ''not'' a cure; however, pawns can be placed in [[cryptosleep casket]]s to prevent the crumbling mind from progressing until a cure can be found.

Organ decay, duplication sickness, and crumbling mind appear a few days after the duplicated pawn is created, and can be revealed early with a surgical inspection.

[[Creepjoiner]]s cannot be duplicated, and will instead show a message to that effect.

== Analysis ==
With a little luck, the corrupted Obelisks can be used to duplicate your most valuable colonists, especially those who have a [[psylink]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, as both level and psychic powers are duplicated. Have organs or a prisoner ready in case of Organ Decay, and a [[Psychic shock lance]] or [[Shard shock lance]] if the duplicate pawn starts off hostile to maximize your chance of taking them prisoner. a [[Cryptosleep casket]] can be used to preserve a pawn with Crumbling Mind if you lack a [[Healer mech serum]]. That leaves only cases where the duplicate pawn begins to negatively affect the original as the outcome that prevents you from eventually gaining a pawn.

One way to reliably get a hostile duplicate captured is to do this:
1. Make the colonist you are duplicating take go juice.
2. wait 10~ hours until only around 6 hours of go juice is left.
3. duplicate colonist.
4. have you pawns punch the duplicate until it reaches more than 10% pain(you probably want a few percent more)
5. have your colonists run around in circles for a few hours until go-juice expires.
6. duplicate will be downed, but death on down doesn't apply.
7. capture duplicate.

Alternatively, you can use the new Death Refusal ritual to cure Crumbling Mind, Duplication sickness and Organ Decay. Simply put Death Refusal on the new pawn, kill them (destory their brain in case of Crumbling Mind via rip scanner or extract skull) and resurrect them. They will come back healthy.

If you attacked the obelisk, it's activity level will rise. When it reaches full, it will duplicate up to 30 of you colonists depending on raid points, all of them being hostile to you. However this can be abused to mass cloning god pawns by following the method below:

* Have your god pawn anesthetized
* Send all other pawn (except ghouls) on a caravan resting right outside your colony
* Have ghoul attack obelisk to trigger the duplication
* Since your god pawn is the only pawn on the map, it will be duplicated 30 times
* However your god pawn's "anesthetized" status will also be duplicated, meaning all duplicated pawns are harmless
* Have your caravan come back and capture all the helpless duplicates
* Profit

When duplicated, the effect of "Touching the Void", psionic abilities, and xenogens are preserved. Therefore, it may be worth waiting for the full passage of the Anomaly DLC and gaining all psi abilities, before massively duplicating one colonist through anesthesia and bringing activity to 100%. In this way, you can get a lot of incredibly powerful colonists.

== Weird happenings ==
Sometimes after a corrupted obelisk explodes one of your duplicates '''(and every other copy of them including the original)''' can get duplication sickness even if they had one of the other side effects (unknown if its a bug)

DuskTheUmbreon: wikilink obelisk

{{Anomaly}}
{{Spoiler}}
{{Stub}}
{{Infobox main
| name = Warped obelisk

}}
The '''Warped Obelisk''' <small>(also referred to as the "Abductor")</small> is one three potential [[Obelisk]]s that may arrive at your colony. The '''Warped Obelisk''' will kidnap creatures and colonists on activation, sending them to an alternate dimension called [[The Labyrinth]].

== Acquisition ==
The Warped Obelisk has a chance to spawn at any point after activating the Void monolith.

== Summary ==
The Warped Obelisk is one three potential obelisks that may arrive at your colony. It will kidnap creatures and colonists on activation, sending them to an alternate dimension called '''The Labyrinth'''.

* When a colonist interacts with the obelisk <small>(studying/suppressing)</small> there is a chance they will begin vanishing into thin air, transporting them into '''The Labyrinth'''.

* When it reaches 100% or is attacked it will teleport colonists into '''The Labyrinth''' at random. If you attack the obelisk with multiple colonists, it can send more than one to the Labyrinth. They will arrive at different places, but on the same map, speeding up your exploration and giving you more firepower to defend against the threats inside. Do note that the obelisk can violently explode, downing or killing melee-range pawns.

* after 10 Anomaly research points from studying the obelisk a teleport button will appear. (15-80 day cooldown)

* Inside the '''The Labyrinth''' you can find gray boxes and corpses with food, organs, and weapons.

* Once you have found the warped obelisk inside of '''The Labyrinth''' you can interact with it to be teleported back to your base, however alongside some of its content, which may be flesh beasts, or a lot of corpses that will come alive during the next death pall. When you return the obelisk will be gone.

* To deactivate you need 30 Advanced Anomaly research points from studying the obelisk and two [[Shard]]s. Once deactivated the button is removed.

Healer mech serum

{{Infobox main|exotic
| name = Healer mech serum

| description = A one-use super-dose of mechanites tuned to heal health conditions. The mechanites will target and heal the single worst health condition affecting someone at any given time. Works even on health conditions that would otherwise be incurable. The mechanites can even transmute themselves into organic matter, forming new limbs or organs as needed.

| mass base = 0.2
| flammability = 0

| defName = MechSerumHealer

| always haulable = true
| label = healer mech serum
| use hit points = true
| quest item = true
}}
The '''healer mech serum''' is an item that can heal almost every health condition.

== Acquisition ==
Healer mech serums cannot be crafted, nor can it be bought from [[trader]]s. Instead they can only be found in [[ancient shrine]]s or acquired as a reward for performing [[quests]]. Note that quest rewards are selected with a weighted random generator, so there is no way to guarantee access to a serum in a given play-through. Anecdotally, it is often reported that the increased number of reward options added by the [[DLC]] dilute the reward pool with more options.

== Summary ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Not a full list of conditions - see FixWorstHealthCondition}}
Healer mech serums will heal a single health condition. It removes the most "severe" health problem, in a specific order. If there are no healable conditions, the serum will still be consumed. Pawns can be directed to use a serum on themselves or others.

The serum will heal these conditions in the following order:
# Missing limbs, hands, and feet (Not fingers/ toes)
#* Legs
#* Shoulders/arms
#* Spine
# Whole body ailments
#* [[Toxic buildup]]
#* [[Disease]]s, in order of severity
#* [[Blood loss]]
#* [[Heatstroke]]
#* [[Hypothermia]]
#* [[Frail]]
#* Sterilized
# Brain ailments
#* [[Resurrection psychosis]]
#* [[Trauma savant]]
#* [[Alzheimer's]]
#* [[Dementia]]
#* [[Crumbling mind]]{{AnomalyIcon}}, so long as it has not progressed to crumbled mind.
# Scars on the brain
# Missing organs
#* [[Lung]]s
#* [[Kidney]]s
#* Facial parts
#* Fingers/ toes
# Ailments in other parts
#* For example: [[Carcinoma]], [[Cataract]], [[Bad back]]
# Drug [[addiction]]
# Scars on other parts
# Injuries

Organs that occur in pairs (kidneys, eyes, ears) will always be healed in pairs (e.g. the serum would cure a cataract in both eyes, not just one). Replacements, however, occur individually.

=== Restrictions ===
Below are the conditions which the serum '''cannot''' treat:
* Luciferium need
* Drug tolerances
* Anesthetic
* Fertility Procedures: Tubal Ligation, Implanted IUD, Vasectomy
* Crumbled mind {{AnomalyIcon}}

To regrow a missing body part, the artificial part has to be removed first (by surgery) before the serum is applied.

== Analysis ==
Firstly, don't expect to find more than a handful of these serums during a playthrough, if even that many. Use it wisely: most missing limbs and failed organs can be replaced, either with artificial or natural parts. Serums should be saved for situations where all other treatments fail, such as brain damage, or when a pawn would certainly die otherwise.

Conditions are treated in a strict order. An [[infection]] (Major, developed immunity) will be cured over Alzheimer's, even though the former is virtually harmless. Blood loss and toxic buildup are cured before scars are. Do not apply the serum unless absolutely certain it will heal the correct condition.

=== Uses ===
* Great for colonists with brain damage, dementia and frailty. These can be quite crippling, and most other ways to treat them come with significant downsides (see below).
* Repair shattered spines or pelvises to allow colonists to function again (the former can however also be fixed with a [[bionic spine]]).
* Immediately end a colonist's [[Mental break#Catatonia|catatonic break]], at quite a cost. Do so when the colonist is absolutely vital to your colony's operations -- this should be a very rare occasion.
* This is the only option to fix certain Social penalties in the base game, such as the Disfigured debuff from a missing nose.
**A missing nose can be fixed with the [[aesthetic nose]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} or [[biosculpter pod]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, but both require their respective DLC installed.

=== Alternatives ===
Many permanent conditions like Dementia or Alzheimer's can be cured with other methods, which all have some other form of cost. For a full comparison of what can and can't be healed by these methods, see the Healing method table below.
* Killing the pawn and applying a [[resurrector mech serum]], an item of the same rarity as the healer mech serum. It can also cause adverse side-effects, including the fatal [[Resurrection psychosis|psychosis]] (which ironically, requires a healer mech serum to treat).
* [[Luciferium]], which will cause immediate hard dependence on the drug. It requires constant intake; while it does provide significant stat buffs, luciferium is expensive, and withdrawal is fatal.
* [[Biosculpter pod]]s.{{IdeologyIcon}} The Bioregeneration cycle can heal many conditions (less than lucifierium), which costs 2 [[glitterworld medicine]], up to 25 days in a clean room to complete, and dedicated research.
* [[Genes#Scarless|Scarless gene]].{{BiotechIcon}} This either requires the scarless [[genepack]] and an [[archite capsule]], or has the price of becoming a [[sanguophage]]. It can also be obtained from game start.

{{Heal Option Table}}

== Version history ==
* [[Version/0.18.1722|0.18.1722]] - Added as '''Healer mechanite superdose'''. At that time it could treat injuries and ailments, but could not treat some conditions, notably diseases.
* Beta 19/1.0 - Function was expanded such that it can now treat nearly all health conditions.
* [[Version/1.2.2753|1.2.2753]] - Fix: Healer mech serum heals love
* [[Version/1.3.3200|1.3.3200]] - Restored the healing message displayed after using a healer mech serum.
* [[Version/1.4.3641|1.4.3641]] - Fix: Psychic suppression targeted by healer mech serum.
* [[Version/1.5.4062|1.5.4062]] - Fix: Gene loss shock is healed before scars and injuries when using healing serum.

'''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#Order_of_conditions_treated|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.
* [[Psychic rituals#List of rituals|Death refusal]]: 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.

=== 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).

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Stage !! Begins at !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Asthma (minor)''' || ≥ 0% severity || -10% part efficiency
|-
| '''Asthma (major)''' || ≥ 30% severity || -30% part efficiency
|-
| '''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:
* Replacing the affected eyes with a [[bionic eye|bionic]] or [[archotech eye|archotech]] eye.
* 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.

A human pawn can first get a cataract at age 49.

=== 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"
|-
! Stage !! Begins at !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Carcinoma (minor)''' || ≥0% severity ||
* Little pain (+10%)
* -10% part efficiency
|-
| '''Carcinoma (minor)''' || ≥15% severity ||
* Moderate pain (+20%)

* 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 only has a 70% base chance to succeed.{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Not in .xml}} Also note that if the surgery fails, there is a 25% chance that the patient [[Death|dies]]. Thus, as the maximum [[Doctoring#Success chance|success chance]] of any surgery is capped at 98%, there is always at least a 0.5% chance of death per attempt.

A human pawn can first get a carcinoma from normal aging at age 23. 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.

=== 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 [[Genes#Bloodfeeder|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 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>Increase in heatstroke severity every 60 ticks = max(0.000375, 0.0000645×effective_temperature_curve(<i>ambient_temperature</i> - (<i>maximum_comfortable_temperature</i> + 10°C)))</code>
::<code><i>where </i>effective_temperature_curve()<i> is a post-processing curve with points</i>: (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, but severity decreases at its fastest when it is above 50%, and at its slowest below 5.6%. 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 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, (<i>degrees_below_comfortable</i> - 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, (<i>degrees_below_comfortable</i> - 10)*0.0000645)</code>

== 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.

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]]. Male humans can{{Check Tag|Will?|Is it all failures or just a chance?}} receive the sterilized ailment from a failed vasectomy.{{BiotechIcon}} It is currently unknown if there are other sources or if female humans can be affected.

== 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.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Cirrhosis''' ||
* -60% part efficiency (liver)
* Slight [[pain]] (+15%)
* -10% [[Moving]]
|}

Treatment:
* The easiest method of treatment is the 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 resurrector mech serum can cure cirrhosis, including any DLC added healing methods.{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Needs to be verified that this is the only way to cure it. What about Luciferium for instance?}}

=== Chemical damage ===
Permanent damage that occurs as a result of drug overdose or tolerance. There are two variants.

{| class="wikitable"

|}

Treatment:
* Kidney chemical damage can be cured by replacing with a non-damaged [[kidney]] or with a [[detoxifier kidney]]{{BiotechIcon}}
* Brain chemical damage can only be cured with a [[healer mech serum]]{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Needs to be verified that this is the only way to cure it.}}

==Trauma savant==
Injuries to the brain can cause increased motor function, but loss of social capabilities.
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Trauma savant''' ||
* +50% [[Manipulation]]
* x0% [[Talking]] and [[Hearing]]
* Brain damage does not affect part efficiency
* 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.

Note that while trauma savant does negate the [[consciousness]] penalty from all brain damage (even from scars that didn't cause savant to appear), it does not negate the missing health, or the potential pain from the scar. To treat those problems, you must treat the brain damage itself. It also won't prevent loss of consciousness from other conditions like Dementia.

Trauma savant can be healed with a [[healer mech serum]] or the [[Creepjoiner#Unnatural_healing|Unnatural healing]]{{AnomalyIcon}} ability if no other medical condition is present. 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==
A whole-body condition that gives a constant +20 mood bonus but imposes a -50% global learning factor penalty and makes a pawn incapable of everything but combat, dumb labor, animal work and doctoring (without cheering up patients). Can generate on [[cultist]] raiders or be deliberately induced via a ritual.

== 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 "[[Scenario system#Crashlanded|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 determined by the [[Room stats#Cleanliness|cleanliness of the room]] where it was prepared and cook's [[food poison chance]] stat.

Raw food has a flat 2% chance of giving food poisoning, while [[corpse]]s have a flat 5% 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 [[Skills#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.

; 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 minimized by manipulating the factors that cause it mentioned above. Prevention can only be guaranteed by exclusively consuming meals purchased from traders or [[nutrient paste meal]]s as they will never cause food poisoning, or by installing a [[sterilizing stomach|sterilizing]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} or [[nuclear stomach]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} or having the [[strong stomach]] gene{{BiotechIcon}} which renders the pawn immune.

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.

Because of the high chance of [[vomiting]] at any moment, putting the patient on a temporary diet of [[pemmican]] may be an useful. Vomiting interrupts the process of eating, resetting it to the start, but a colonist can more quickly consume several pieces of pemmican between "attacks" that they can eat an entire [[meal]]. This allows the poisoned pawn to more easily avoid malnutrition without feeding them [[raw food]]s that could cause further 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.

=== Toxic buildup ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=What is the effect of Toxic Environment Resistance vs Toxic Resistance}}
Primarily occurs with exposure to [[Events#Toxic fallout|toxic fallout]], [[pollution]],{{BiotechIcon}} and [[tox gas]].{{BiotechIcon}}. 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 avoiding interaction with the other sources can prevent buildup from them. If they are exposed to the 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.

This buildup severity gained is proportional to the [[Toxic Resistance]] [[stat]] - thus, [[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}} Buildup can also be reduced through a variety of of other means including items such as the [[gas mask]] {{BiotechIcon}}, [[detoxifier kidney]] {{BiotechIcon}}, and [[detoxifier lung]] {{BiotechIcon}}, as well as [[genes]] such as [[Genes#Partial antitoxic lungs|Partial antitoxic lungs]] and [[Genes#Total antitoxic lungs|Total antitoxic lungs]], or [[Genes#Tox resistance|Tox resistance]] and [[Genes#Tox immunity|Tox immunity]].

There is, effectively, a multiplier for each pawn on their toxic buildup accumulation from these indirect sources. This can vary between 15% faster buildup or 15% slower buildup than the average rate. There is no stat in the information panel to convey this variation, but it is static for a given pawn. This means that baseliner humans standing in pollution and a toxic fallout, with no Tox Resistance of any sort, can vary from either 68% to 92% buildup per day, rather than a constant 80%.

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.

* [[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. The process takes away .05 nutrition over 3-5 ticks{{Check Tag|Verify|I just vaguely recall this from watching it, someone please check my numbers. I also have no idea if body size changes nutrition lost}}, and causes 3-5 piles of [[Vomit]] to appear on the tile they're facing. 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.

Crumbling mind can be cured by a [[Healer mech serum]] so long as it hasn't progressed to the final stage of '''Crumbled mind'''. Once it has, the condition is incurable.{{Check Tag|ResMech?|Do Resurrection Mech Serums heal it as well, if the brain is destroyed? If so, can it cure it even in crumbled mind? Crumbled mind is tagged as "everCurableByItem false", but resmechs on destroyed brains do typically restore them to pristine condition, rather than directly healing injuries, so it may bypass that.}}

|}

== 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.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Stage !! Begins at !! Symptoms

| '''Anesthetic (sedated)''' || 0–6 hours from onset ||
* Unconscious ([[Consciousness]] max. 1%)

| '''Anesthetic (woozy)''' || 6–12 hours from onset ||
* Reduced [[pain]] (×80%)
* Impaired [[consciousness]] (70% max)
* Impaired [[moving]] (-20%)
* Impaired [[manipulation]] (-20%)
* Impaired [[digestion]] (-20%
* Impaired [[sight]] (-15%)
* [[Vomiting]] (''MTB of 0.25 days'')
* Confused wandering (''MTB of 5 days'')
* Forget memory thought (''MTB of 5 days'')
* Improved [[mood]] (+10)
|-

* Impaired [[moving]] (-5%)
* Impaired [[manipulation]] (-10%)
* [[Vomiting]] (''MTB of 4 days'')
* Confused wandering (''MTB of 50 days'')
|}

Treatment:
* Wears off on its own between {{ticks|45000}} to {{ticks|75000}} even if severity has not reached 0%
** Surgery is unaffected even if it wears off before finished

==== Version history ====
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.

=== Resurrection sickness ===
After-effects of being resurrected by mechanite injection. Artificially-kickstarted body processes take time to rebalance themselves.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Resurrection sickness''' ||
* Loss of [[moving]] (×10%)
* Loss of [[manipulation]] (×10%)
* [[Vomiting]] (mtb. 0.5 days)
|}

'''Treatment:'''
* Wears off anywhere from {{ticks|90000}} to {{ticks|150000}}

'''Probability:'''
* 100% chance of being applied

=== Blindness ===
Mechanites fail to properly repair the eyes, instead causing more damage to it, resulting in blindness.

Blindness from [[resurrector mech serum]] applies to both eyes, resulting in total blindness

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Blindness''' ||
* Complete loss of function (-100% part efficiency)
|}

'''Treatment:'''
* Replace eyes with [[bionic eye]]s or [[archotech eye]]s

'''Probability:'''
* 2% chance when used at 0.1 days or less of decay
* 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. Hopefully this gives you enough time to find a [[healer mech serum]] to heal the ailment, find another [[resurrector mech serum]] to attempt the resurrection again once the psychosis has run its course, or build a [[cryptosleep casket]] to give you time to find either serum. There are no other ways to cure the disease.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Stage !! Begins at !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Resurrection psychosis (hidden)''' || ≥0% severity ||
* No visible symptoms, doesn't show up in health tab
* Can still be cured with [[healer mech serum]] at this stage even if it is not visible.
|-
| '''Resurrection psychosis (early)''' || ≥10% severity ||
* Frequent mental breaks (''MTB of 9 days'')
|-
| '''Resurrection psychosis (moderate)''' || ≥25% severity ||
* [[Consciousness]] -10%
* Frequent mental breaks (''MTB of 6 days'')
|-
| '''Resurrection psychosis (advanced)''' || ≥40% severity ||
* [[Consciousness]] -20%
* Frequent mental breaks (''MTB of 3 days'')
|-
| '''Resurrection psychosis (severe)''' || ≥55% severity ||
* [[Consciousness]] -30%
* Extremely frequent mental breaks (''MTB of 0.5 days'')
|-
| '''Resurrection psychosis (total)''' || ≥70% severity ||
* [[Consciousness]] -40%
* Extremely frequent mental breaks (''MTB of 0.25 days'')
|-
| '''Resurrection psychosis (catatonic)''' || ≥85% severity ||
* Pawn becomes unconscious ([[Consciousness]] max. 10%)
|-
| '''Resurrection psychosis (catatonic)''' || 100% severity ||
* [[Death]]
|}

'''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 more than 2 colonists on your colony for this to occur.

The average interval between heart attacks is curved as follows (in days):
* 0-50% of life expectancy: 99,999,999 - 99,999,999
* 50-60% of life expectancy: 99,999,999 - 2,500
* 60-100% of life expectancy: 2,500 - 300

Examples of intervals and chances:
* 55% of life expectancy (i.e. 44 in humans): 50,001,249.5 days (approx. 0.00000002% per day)
* 80% of life expectancy (i.e. 64 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. Every {{ticks|5000}} 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 treat itself on its own, but usually the heart attack progresses to fatal severity.

==== 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 maximum chance a particular treatment can succeed is 65%.

==== 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.

Labyrinth

2024-06-17T15:04:58Z

DuskTheUmbreon: Clean up some checktags, minor grammar cleanup and word choice changes. Removed note about carrying capacity as leaving teleports all objects. Various other details

{{Anomaly}}
{{Spoiler}}
{{Stub|reason=Determine method of Labyrinth threat scale, rewards odds, compilation of unique structures, exact means of teleportation, both in and out of the labyrinth including living/dead creatures and inanimate objects.}}
{{image wanted|reason=Include images of entire explored map as well as individual notable rooms and structures.}}
The '''labyrinth''' is a large, grayscale maze located within an alternate dimension, accessed by provoking, attacking, or suppressing the [[warped obelisk]].

== Summary ==
In order to access the labyrinth, the colony must have a warped obelisk crash down in a prior event.
The labyrinth is not a conventional quest site and does not appear on the world map, meaning you cannot [[caravan]] inside. There are multiple methods of entering the maze:
* Let the warped obelisk reach 100% Activity. Attacking it will speed up this process. Upon reaching the max value it will teleport colonists in at random.
* When a colonist interacts with the obelisk <small>(studying/suppressing)</small> there is a chance they will begin vanishing into thin air, after which that colonist will arrive inside.
* After 10 Anomaly research points from studying the obelisk, a teleport button will appear to enter the maze willingly{{Check Tag|verify}}. (15-80 day cooldown)
* (Verify alternate methods of entry if applicable)

A map for the encounter will be created once the first colonist is sent inside, willingly or not. Attacking the obelisk with multiple colonists can send more than one into the labyrinth. There is no guarantee they will spawn alongside each other, though they will be on the same map. This may speed up exploration and increase safety within at the cost of leaving the home tile undefended.

Just as you cannot normally send a caravan into the maze, the same is also true for exiting. Safely leaving the maze requires locating another 'mirrored' warped obelisk inside one of the many gray rooms. A pawn can interact with it to be teleported back to the original tile.

Once activated, any creatures, corpses, and unattended items taken from within loot containers{{Check Tag|verify|Are items left in loot containers teleported?}} will be begin to be randomly distributed throughout the map tile{{Check Tag|Add Details|How long is the delay between activation, and each individual teleportation?}}. Each valid object is selected at random{{Check Tag|verify}} and a white orb will envelop the space it occupies. The object will then be placed in a random tile on the home map. This process repeats until there are no longer valid targets, at which point the original warped obelisk will vanish, preventing reentry. This teleportation includes enemies, even ones which were not necessarily encountered within the maze, which can cause dangerous scenarios where many enemies single out a stranded colonist.

== Design ==
Upon entering the maze all rooms not currently inhabited by colonists will be hidden. All rooms are surrounded by [[gray wall]]s with [[gray door]]s connecting them. Many of these doors require colonists to force them open open. To reveal these areas, a pawn must path to a connecting door, then take 60 seconds{{Check Tag|Verify|Exact time in ticks?}} to open it. Any doors, jammed or not, that are opened are left open permanently.

All walls and doors are completely indestructible. They may still be targeted by weaponry, but cannot be selected and have no visible hit points or info box. Jammed doors cannot be bypassed unless an alternate route into the same room is found or the jam is unblocked.

Most [[floors]] found within The labyrinth are made up of a [[gray surface]] with a slightly slower walk speed of 87%. Additionally, some rooms contain standard [[soil]] with [[trees]]{{Check Tag|Add Details|Appears to be any "normal" tree and is independent of the home biome - verify that special trees (e.g. polux) can't also appear.}} growing on it. Strangely, these trees may or may not have leaves (sometimes both variants spawn on the same map) regardless of the constant temperature.

Soil found here may be used to grow crops, as the labyrinth is unroofed and a constant, comfortable temperature(25°C/77°F)for growing. As every pawn within the labyrinth is warped out with no return upon activating the exit obelisk, unharvested crops will be lost forever.

Roofed areas may be built at any point within the maze where designated. Use of an incendiary weaponry or [[campfire]] can raise temperatures above the "outside" levels. Due to doors permanently being open, it can be difficult to maintain without building a roof over every explored room.

Every labyrinth will have two guaranteed boxes within the obelisk room containing varied loot. The obelisk itself is surrounded by a small patch of [[void metal]], the only flooring in the maze with 100% walk speed.

=== Structures ===
All of the following structures may be found within the labyrinth:
* [[Endless pit]] - has no function beyond being a terrain obstacle. The Endless pit blocks movement across it while allowing sightlines and projectiles. Can be 2x2, 2x3, or 3x3 in size.
* [[Floor etching]] - small runes scratched into the floor of The Labyrinth in various places. A Pawn may spend a few seconds analyzing the rune, which may provide the relative direction of the exit Obelisk.
* [[Bedroll]] - a room may spawn containing a single [[cloth]] bedroll with or without a [[torch lamp]], helpful for pawns who need comfort and sleep needs met.
* [[Gray statue]] - One-time effect triggers when a pawn comes nearby. A few patterns seen:
** Gray statue in empty room: Teleports your colonist to an apparently random room in the Labyrinth.
** Gray statue with corpses nearby: Emits a cloud of deadlife dust, turning the corpses into shamblers (with a 6-hour lifetime).
* [[Gray box]] - containers made from the same indestructible Gray material as the walls and floors of The Labyrinth. Two are guaranteed to spawn within the exit room. A Pawn may open the container which will then drop its contents on the floor nearby.
* TBD (compile any other unique structures found within the maze here){{Check Tag|Add Details|Requires more description and analysis on materials and layout}}

=== Loot ===
Optional loot may be found within the many rooms of the maze. These can include relics, meals, weapons, organs, serums and more{{Check Tag|Verify|Verify complete loot table and odds of acquisition}}. These items can be found laying on the floor of some rooms, within [[Gray box]]es (Much like the [[Hermetic crate]]{{IdeologyIcon}} or [[Flesh sack]]), and in the inventories of corpses strewn about the entire map. All clothing will be marked as tainted aside from [[utility]] items.

Animal corpses also have a chance of spawning, although these do not contain any valuables.

{{BiotechIcon}} Additionally, another type of "loot" relevant to the player can appear in the form of custom, player-designed Xenotypes, potentially assigned to the corpses within the Labyrinth. Since these corpses are often not desiccated, and can thus be resurrected via [[resurrector mech serum]], they seem to be one of the few, or possibly only(?) ways to acquire player-designed Xenotypes that existed at game start, but are not referenced directly by an Ideoligion, or assigned to a starting colonist{{Check Tag|Verify|Testing required}}.

=== Dangers ===
Some rooms can be entirely empty, while others might contain enemies. These foes may be asleep upon discovery and might wake up if the room is entered or a disturbance is caused{{Check Tag|Verify|How often and when do they wake up?}}.
Enemies that can possibly spawn within the labyrinth:
* [[Fingerspike]] - often found resting in a room full of corpses
* [[Shambler]] - corpses spawn with certain rooms of The labyrinth and may be animated by certain [[Gray Statue]] when triggered by Pawn proximity)
* TBD (compile any other hostile entities found within the maze here)

Other dangers which may be present:
* [[Gray statue]] - strange sculptures which can cause a variety of effects when a Pawn moves nearby, including teleporting the activating Pawn to a random place within the labyrinth or creating a gray cloud which animates corpses nearby the Statue. Statues will only trigger one time before becoming inert.

== Analysis ==
While a daunting challenge at first glance, navigating the labyrinth can be extremely profitable. The amount of high value loot found within can easily be worth the risk of extra exploration if an immediate extraction is not necessary. Note that additional pawns sent to explore the maze may not necessarily start nearby a colonist in need of rescue, and if unlucky may quickly become endangered themselves. Also, the more colonists sent inside to explore and help with combat, the less there are outside in case a major threat hits the colony in everyone's absence.

Care should be taken when choosing to interact with the obelisk, as even when at low activity it is possible for a random teleport. Any pawns assigned to this anomaly should be capable of combat, equipped to handle multiple fingerspikes or shamblers at once, in good health, and ideally have a reasonable level of [[Medical]] skill to self-tend any wounds.

While the maze contains some resources to help with traversal, it can be possible to become stranded without food. A combination of many jammed doors, obstructive enemy spawns, low food drops from corpses, and/or the inability to find the exit room can leave an under-prepared group stranded. A caravan loading method can be used to pick desired supplies before willing entry.

As any items left in the labyrinth are teleported out, the tainted clothing of all corpses stripped within the maze will be randomly distributed across the home tile. This includes within a colony home area, which may require a clean up afterwards.

The '''golden cube''' is an [[entity]] and item obtained from quests in the [[Anomaly DLC]].

== Acquisition ==
The golden cube can be found in [[Events]] in which you are contacted by either a friendly planetary faction{{Check Tag|Which factions?}} or an anonymous AI. The quest giver will ask that you receive some unspecified cargo and refuse any questions about the shipment. Once the quest has been accepted there is a chance that the object which is given to you is the golden cube{{Check Tag|verify|Any other way to obtain? Chance of acquisition}}.

Alternatively, the cube can be acquired through the void provocation ritual.

== Summary ==
While the nominal source of a variety of effects, golden cube itself is largely treated the same as other items. It can be [[haul]]ed, [[stockpile]]d, carried, and [[caravan]]ed with. Unlike most other items however, it cannot be destroyed without first [[#Deactivation|deactivating]] it. Despite its high market value, the player cannot sell it under any circumstances.

=== Containment ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Details}}
Unlike most other [[entities]], the cube does not need to be contained or suppressed. It can simply be kept as any other item while it is studied. Studying the cube provides 2 advanced knowledge, and it can be studied every 2 days.

=== Cube Obsession ===
{{Quote| "This person is drawn to the golden cube. If separated from the cube for too long, they'll start to experience negative effects."}}
When the cube spawns on the map, one [[colonist]] will gain the cube obsession health effect. Over time, while the cube remains on the map, other colonists will become afflicted as well{{Check Tag|how often?}}. They will experience a series of buffs and debuffs that get more severe as the affliction progresses, and severe negative [[thought]]s if they don't interact with the cube regularly.

Cube-Obsessed colonists will often stop their current task to 'play' with the cube.{{Check Tag|how often?}} They cannot have their task changed while playing, but can still be drafted. Upon playing with the cube, a colonist will get {{Thought|label= Cube Joy|desc= My wonderful cube. My precious cube. I love it. It's so beautiful.|value=+15|stack=1|duration=1}}. Colonists in later stages{{Check Tag|verify}} of cube obsession will often aimlessly wander and think about the cube. Unlike playing with the cube{{Check Tag|verify}}, this does not provide recreation, and can easily lead to recreation- and sleep-deprived pawns.

Cube Interest progresses over time{{Check Tag|verify|what's the increase rate?}}. You always receive a notice when it reaches a new stage.

===== Cube Sculptures =====
Cube-Fascinated colonists will go on periodic mental breaks {{Check Tag|verify|MTB?}} during which they will build a [[sculpture]] related to the cube. The building speed of the sculpture is affected by construction skill. The quality can either be of any quality, starting at poor for a 0 beauty score and incrementing by 2 with each quality level. The sculpture is constructed from whatever material the colonist is standing on or by. For example, colonists standing around dirt will make dirt sculptures while those on concrete will make scrap or stone sculptures{{Check Tag|verify|verify all possible materials and floor compositions}}. The sculpture, once complete, can be freely minified and moved, but it cannot be deconstructed. It must be destroyed with attacks. Be aware that this sculpture will use up a [[Inspired creativity]] inspiration, if the colonist has one.

While the cube statue is placed {{Check Tag|verify| does it count while minified?}} its sculptor gets {{Thought|label=Cube Sculpture|desc= My sculpture... My beautiful Sculpture!|value= +1}}. This stacks with each cube sculpture they've created, without an apparent limit. If the sculpture is destroyed, they'll get {{Thought|label= My Cube Sculpture Destroyed|desc=My sculpture... My beautiful sculpture... |value= -5| stack=10 | multi= 0.75|duration=5}}, and they may become violent: Destroying one sculpture yields 40% Cube Anger, which has a chance of causing a [[Berserk]] mental state{{Check Tag|verify|what's the chance? how fast does it decay?}}. This hediff is hidden, and so its progress cannot be normally tracked.

===== Cube Withdrawl & Coma =====
{{Quote| "This person obsessively wants to find their golden cube. Their skin itches and their mind races, thinking of ways to get closer to the cube. Their symptoms will get worse until they play with the cube."}}
{{Quote| "This person was connected to a golden cube and then separated from it. Severing the link this way has put them in a coma."}}
If an obsessed colonist is prevented from playing with the cube for an extended period of time, they start going through withdrawal. When they do, they get the "Cube Withdrawal" health condition. The rate at which cube withdrawal worsens increases the more obsessed a colonist is with the cube{{Check Tag|verify| How much per day by obsession level?}}. There is an accompanying {{Thought| label= Cube Withdrawl | desc= Where is my cube? Where is it? | value=-15 | value2=-20| value3=-30| stack = 1}} debuff. If cube withdrawl progresses to 100%, the colonist will fall into a cube coma.

If withdrawal reaches 100% severity, the affected colonist will immediately fall into a cube coma, multiplying their consciousness by 10%. It lasts 3-24 days, duration dependent on the colonist's obsession level. Upon waking up from the coma, the colonist will no longer be obsessed with the cube. However, nothing stops the recently woken colonist from immediately become obsessed with the cube again. Destroying the cube using shards while colonists are in this coma will wake them.

=== Deactivation ===
Once at least 4 research has been gained from the cube, you will receive a letter informing you the cube can be destroyed, but more research must be done to learn how. Although the letter says that the pawn studying it needs to study it to learn more, any pawn may study it.

{{Quote| "{PAWN_nameDef}'s investigation of the golden cube has revealed more. It is able to psychically influence anyone who interacts with it. Those under the cube's influence will experience extreme withdrawal if they're separated from it.\n\n{PAWN_nameDef} thinks that there may be a way to deactivate the cube, but {PAWN_pronoun} will need to study it further."}}

Once a total of 24-40 research has been gained from the cube, an option to permanently deactivate it becomes available which requires 1 [[Archotech]] [[Shard]]. This destroys the cube and breaks its hold over your colony. However, doing so will send any currently obsessed colonists who are not in a cube coma into [[Berserk]] Mental Breaks, even if on other map tiles. These mental breaks can be avoided by performing an anesthetize operation on the obsessed colonists immediately before deactivating the cube. {{Check Tag|Mindnumb|Mindnumb serums appeared to mostly work, but one of my 9 obsessed colonists, who had been mindnumbed, still berserked. It could be that only currently awake pawns can berserk? Seems to be tied to onlyTargetControlledPawns, from my rudimentary examination of the defs}} Any affected colonists within a [[caravan]] at the time of destruction will leave the colony permanently. Colonists who are obsessed with the cube will not willingly destroy it, so this action must be performed by an unaffected colonist. Temporary pawns from quests may deactivate the cube so long as they are not currently affected{{Check Tag|verify|Can temporary pawns become obsessed?}}. The Cube can be easily disposed of via Caravan dumping or [[transport pod]], but doing so does not remove a colonists obsession with it. This means that if you get rid of the cube but do not destroy it, all colonists obsessed with the cube will eventually develop cube withdrawal and fall into a coma. However, if you are willing to wait out the coma duration of 3-24 days, your colonists will wake up without an obsession with the cube.

Upon deactivation the golden cube drops 144-167 Gold{{Check Tag|verify|Is this amount based on variables such as construction skill?}}.

== Analysis ==
As with any anomalous object, care should be taken that the colony is able to reliably deal with adverse side effects brought on by the entity. The introduction of the cube may severely cut down on overall productivity, but also grant a substantial mood bonus to any colonist allowed to consistently interact with the golden cube. Colonies with many pawns who are constantly in danger of mental breaking may find a use, as the huge mood buffs will change potentially dangerous mental breaks into smaller sculpture creation breaks. However, constant sculpture making can prove troublesome as it not only wastes a pawns time, but also takes up space with relatively low value sculptures which cannot be broken without a mood penalty.

The cube itself has a considerably high [[beauty]] value (about on par with a Good quality golden statue) which can even increase the mood of pawns who are not obsessed but simply share the same room as the cube. This can quickly increase the beauty value within a room colonists frequent, such as a rec room or dining room. Keeping the cube on display may prove difficult though, as many of your pawns may attempt to play with it constantly. This may limit the display time and relocate the golden cube afterwards. Placing a dedicated 1x1 [[Stockpile zone]] or a [[shelf]] for the cube can ensure that it always returns to a specific viewing point.

Caravans are made substantially more difficult to form and maintain as any affected colonists will eventually be plagued with constant mood penalties due to undergoing cube withdrawal{{Check Tag|verify|Does carrying the cube within a caravan change this?}}. Often, you may be restricted to keeping any obsessed colonists at home while unaffected pawns can safely do quests on the world map.

If kept away from the cube for extended periods of time, obsessed colonists will begin going through cube withdrawal. Withdrawal starts as a slight reduction in consciousness and a mood reduction (similarly to a drug) and eventually escalates into a coma. Colonists who fall into this coma cannot be woken for 3-24 days or until the cube is destroyed. Allowing an obsessed pawn to play with the cube will get rid of their withdrawal.

Destruction of the cube can be both difficult and dangerous. If all of your colonists are obsessed there will be no way to conventionally deactivate the object, as affected colonists refuse to do so. Any unaffected colonists should be ready to promptly secure and subdue obsessed pawns who go berserk. Be sure to return any affected colonists to the home map before destroying the golden cube, otherwise they will permanently leave. This is likely intended to force affected pawns into the Berserk state and prevent them from avoiding this by caravanning away.

Placing an affected colonist in a [[Cryptosleep casket]] will result in them escaping the casket and beginning a berserk rage mental break normally. Anesthetized colonists will be unaffected by the cube's destruction and will not suffer from cube withdrawal, so if you can manage it, this may be the safest option. Even the slightest amount of cube fascination will result in berserk break when the cube is destroyed; the meter doesn't need to be full.

If unable to anesthetize colonists to avoid the berserk rage obsessed pawns fall into when the cube is destroyed, another option is entirely walling obsessed pawns into a 1x1 room, destroying the cube, and then waiting for the berserk rage to end. While tedious to execute and very likely to result in extremely unhappy pawns, it's preferable to the potential havoc a berserk pawn can cause.

Corrupted obelisk

2024-06-11T15:47:54Z

DuskTheUmbreon: /* Summary */ Note details on how mechanical parts are replaced

{{Anomaly}}
{{Stub}}
{{Spoiler}}
{{Infobox main
| name = Corrupted obelisk
| image = Corrupted obelisk.png
}}

INTRO TEXT

== Acquisition ==
The corrupted obelisk can spawn in the map as a random anomaly event.

== Summary ==
The Corrupted Obelisk <small>also referred to as the "Duplicator"</small> has a chance to spawn at any point after activating the Void monolith. You have 2 initial options when you encounter the Obelisk in your world: study and/or suppress.
<small>(auto-suppress is not on by default; it can be activated by clicking the obelisk and setting the hand on the activity meter to a green check.)</small>

Attacking a Corrupted Obelisk, or allowing its activity to reach 100%, will cause hostile duplicates to spawn all around your colonists. These duplicates will spawn with the same traits, backstories, skills, and health conditions of your own colonists, but without any gear or bionics. Duplicate spawns are not be concentrated in any particular area; instead, they spawn randomly in proximity to any colonist.

When a colonist interacts with the obelisk <small>(studying/suppressing)</small> there is a chance a duplicate of the colonist will be created. The duplicated colonist will be identical in every way, including current mood thoughts, social opinions, and any ongoing illnesses or drug effects (including [[pregnancy]]{{BiotechIcon}}), but will have no equipment and no artificial body parts except for psylinks and fleshmass organs. Any artificial body parts will be replaced with the healthy, natural form, including all subparts that may be removed by the artificial part (e.g. a [[prosthetic arm]] will be replaced with an organic arm, including the hand and fingers). Higher obelisk activity increases the chance of duplication.

After 10 Anomaly research at the obelisk a duplication button will appear (30 day cooldown). After 30 Anomaly research at the obelisk, a deactivation button will appear. The obelisk costs 2 [[Shard]]s to deactivate. A deactivated obelisk will not need to be suppressed, but can no longer duplicate pawns.

When the corrupted obelisk is triggered a duplicate is made of the interactor with ''one'' of the following conditions:

* '''Hostile Duplicate:''' The duplicate is hostile and will immediately attack. The stronger your colonist the stronger your foe. Can be captured and recruited!

* '''Multiple Organ Decay:''' Several of the duplicate's vital organs have "Organ decay", which causes increasing pain and reduced efficiency and will eventually kill the pawn. Known cure: Replace the decaying organs.

* '''Duplication Sickness:''' Both the original and the duplicate suffer from lowered consciousness, Gets worse over the course of a few days, with the final stage being max 10% consciousness while both are alive. Known cures: Terminate one of the two, Unnatural Healing from creepjoiners.

* '''Crumbling Mind:''' The duplicate will begin losing all their skills and have a locked consciousness of 60%, After 2-3 days becomes permanent and incurable. Colonists that reach the final stage will be unable to do Skilled Labor, Dumb Labor, Caring or Intellectual Jobs. Known cures: [[healer mech serum]]; Unnatural Healing from creepjoiners; killing them, removing their skull, and reviving with [[resurrector mech serum]] or death refusal. The bioregeneration cycle from biosculpting pods is ''not'' a cure; however, pawns can be placed in [[cryptosleep casket]]s to prevent the crumbling mind from progressing until a cure can be found.

Organ decay, duplication sickness, and crumbling mind appear a few days after the duplicated pawn is created, and can be revealed early with a surgical inspection.

[[Creepjoiner]]s cannot be duplicated, and will instead show a message to that effect.

== Analysis ==
With a little luck, the corrupted Obelisks can be used to duplicate your most valuable colonists, especially those who have a [[psylink]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, as both level and psychic powers are duplicated. Have organs or a prisoner ready in case of Organ Decay, and a [[Psychic shock lance]] or [[Shard shock lance]] if the duplicate pawn starts off hostile to maximize your chance of taking them prisoner. a [[Cryptosleep casket]] can be used to preserve a pawn with Crumbling Mind if you lack a [[Healer mech serum]]. That leaves only cases where the duplicate pawn begins to negatively affect the original as the outcome that prevents you from eventually gaining a pawn.

One way to reliably get a hostile duplicate captured is to do this:
1. Make the colonist you are duplicating take go juice.
2. wait 10~ hours until only around 6 hours of go juice is left.
3. duplicate colonist.
4. have you pawns punch the duplicate until it reaches more than 10% pain(you probably want a few percent more)
5. have your colonists run around in circles for a few hours until go-juice expires.
6. duplicate will be downed, but death on down doesn't apply.
7. capture duplicate.

Alternatively, you can use the new Death Refusal ritual to cure Crumbling Mind, Duplication sickness and Organ Decay. Simply put Death Refusal on the new pawn, kill them (destory their brain in case of Crumbling Mind via rip scanner or extract skull) and resurrect them. They will come back healthy.

If you attacked the obelisk, it's activity level will rise. When it reaches full, it will duplicate up to 30 of you colonists depending on raid points, all of them being hostile to you. However this can be abused to mass cloning god pawns by following the method below:

* Have your god pawn anesthetized
* Send all other pawn (except ghouls) on a caravan resting right outside your colony
* Have ghoul attack obelisk to trigger the duplication
* Since your god pawn is the only pawn on the map, it will be duplicated 30 times
* However your god pawn's "anesthetized" status will also be duplicated, meaning all duplicated pawns are harmless
* Have your caravan come back and capture all the helpless duplicates
* Profit

When duplicated, the effect of "Touching the Void", psionic abilities, and xenogens are preserved. Therefore, it may be worth waiting for the full passage of the Anomaly DLC and gaining all psi abilities, before massively duplicating one colonist through anesthesia and bringing activity to 100%. In this way, you can get a lot of incredibly powerful colonists.

== Weird happenings ==
Sometimes after a corrupted obelisk explodes one of your duplicates '''(and every other copy of them including the original)''' can get duplication sickness even if they had one of the other side effects (unknown if its a bug)

The '''Warped Obelisk''' <small>(also referred to as the "Abductor")</small> is one three potential obelisks that may arrive at your colony. The '''Warped Obelisk''' will kidnap creatures and colonists on activation, sending them to an alternate dimension called [[The Labyrinth]].

== Acquisition ==
The Warped Obelisk has a chance to spawn at any point after activating the Void monolith.

== Summary ==
The Warped Obelisk is one three potential obelisks that may arrive at your colony. It will kidnap creatures and colonists on activation, sending them to an alternate dimension called '''The Labyrinth'''.

* When a colonist interacts with the obelisk <small>(studying/suppressing)</small> there is a chance they will begin vanishing into thin air, transporting them into '''The Labyrinth'''.

* When it reaches 100% or is attacked it will teleport colonists into '''The Labyrinth''' at random. If you attack the obelisk with multiple colonists, it can send more than one to the Labyrinth. They will arrive at different places, but on the same map, speeding up your exploration and giving you more firepower to defend against the threats inside. Do note that the obelisk can violently explode, downing or killing melee-range pawns.

* after 10 Anomaly research points from studying the obelisk a teleport button will appear. (15-80 day cooldown)

* Inside the '''The Labyrinth''' you can find gray boxes and corpses with food, organs, and weapons.

* Once you have found the warped obelisk inside of '''The Labyrinth''' you can interact with it to be teleported back to your base, however alongside some of its content, which may be flesh beasts, or a lot of corpses that will come alive during the next death pall. When you return the obelisk will be gone.

* To deactivate you need 30 Advanced Anomaly research points from studying the obelisk and two [[Shard]]s. Once deactivated the button is removed.

=== Deactivation ===
When enough studies have been conducted on the golden cube{{Check Tag|verify|how many?}}, an option to permanently deactivate it becomes available which requires 1 [[Archotech]] [[Shard]]. This destroys the cube and breaks its hold over your colony. However, doing so will send any currently obsessed colonists who are not in a cube coma into [[Berserk]] Mental Breaks, even if on other map tiles. These mental breaks can be avoided by performing an anesthetize operation on the obsessed colonists immediately before deactivating the cube. {{Check Tag|Mindnumb|Mindnumb serums appeared to mostly work, but one of my 9 obsessed colonists, who had been mindnumbed, still berserked. Needs more research}} Any affected colonists within a [[caravan]] at the time of destruction will leave the colony permanently. Colonists who are obsessed with the cube will not willingly destroy it, so this action must be performed by an unaffected colonist. Temporary pawns from quests may deactivate the cube so long as they are not currently affected{{Check Tag|verify|Can temporary pawns become obsessed?}}. The Cube can be easily disposed of via Caravan dumping or [[transport pod]], but doing so does not remove a colonists obsession with it. This means that if you get rid of the cube but do not destroy it, all colonists obsessed with the cube will eventually develop cube withdrawal and fall into a coma. However, if you are willing to wait out the coma duration of 3-24 days , your colonists will wake up without an obsession with the cube.

Upon deactivation the golden cube drops 144-167 Gold{{Check Tag|verify|Is this amount based on variables such as construction skill?}}.

== Analysis ==
As with any anomalous object, care should be taken that the colony is able to reliably deal with adverse side effects brought on by the entity. The introduction of the cube may severely cut down on overall productivity, but also grant a substantial mood bonus to any colonist allowed to consistently interact with the golden cube. Colonies with many pawns who are constantly in danger of mental breaking may find a use, as the huge mood buffs will change potentially dangerous mental breaks into smaller sculpture creation breaks. However, constant sculpture making can prove troublesome as it not only wastes a pawns time, but also takes up space with relatively low value sculptures which cannot be broken without a mood penalty.

The cube itself has a considerably high [[beauty]] value (about on par with a Good quality golden statue) which can even increase the mood of pawns who are not obsessed but simply share the same room as the cube. This can quickly increase the beauty value within a room colonists frequent, such as a rec room or dining room. Keeping the cube on display may prove difficult though, as many of your pawns may attempt to play with it constantly. This may limit the display time and relocate the golden cube afterwards. Placing a dedicated 1x1 [Stockpile Zone] or a [shelf] for the cube can ensure that it always returns to a specific viewing point.

Caravans are made substantially more difficult to form and maintain as any affected colonists will eventually be plagued with constant mood penalties due to undergoing cube withdrawal{{Check Tag|verify|Does carrying the cube within a caravan change this?}}. Often, you may be restricted to keeping any obsessed colonists at home while unaffected pawns can safely do quests on the world map.

If kept away from the cube for extended periods of time, obsessed colonists will begin going through cube withdrawal. Withdrawal starts as a slight reduction in consciousness and a mood reduction (similarly to a drug) and eventually escalates into a coma. Colonists who fall into this coma cannot be woken for 3-24 days or until the cube is destroyed. Allowing an obsessed pawn to play with the cube will get rid of their withdrawal.

Destruction of the cube can be both difficult and dangerous. If all of your colonists are obsessed there will be no way to conventionally deactivate the object, as affected colonists refuse to do so. Any unaffected colonists should be ready to promptly secure and subdue obsessed pawns who go berserk. Be sure to return any affected colonists to the home map before destroying the golden cube, otherwise they will permanently leave. This is likely intended to force affected pawns into the Berserk state and prevent them from avoiding this by caravanning away.

Placing an affected colonist in a [[Cryptosleep casket]] will result in them escaping the casket and beginning a berserk rage mental break normally. Anesthetized colonists will be unaffected by the cube's destruction and will not suffer from cube withdrawal, so if you can manage it, this may be the safest option. Even the slightest amount of cube fascination will result in berserk break when the cube is destroyed; the meter doesn't need to be full.

If unable to anesthetize colonists to avoid the berserk rage obsessed pawns fall into when the cube is destroyed, another option is entirely walling obsessed pawns into a 1x1 room, destroying the cube, and then waiting for the berserk rage to end. While tedious to execute and very likely to result in extremely unhappy pawns, it's preferable to the potential havoc a berserk pawn can cause.

Golden cube

{{Infobox main|entity

| image = Golden cube.png

}}
The '''golden cube''' is an [[entity]] and item obtained from quests in the [[Anomaly DLC]].

== Acquisition ==
The golden cube can be found in [[Events]] in which you are contacted by either a friendly planetary faction{{Check Tag|Which factions?}} or an anonymous AI. The quest giver will ask that you receive some unspecified cargo and refuse any questions about the shipment. Once the quest has been accepted there is a chance that the object which is given to you is the golden cube{{Check Tag|verify|Any other way to obtain? Chance of acquisition}}.

Alternatively, the cube can be acquired through the void provocation ritual.

== Summary ==
While the nominal source of a variety of effects, golden cube itself is largely treated the same as other items. It can be [[haul]]ed, [[stockpile]]d, carried, and [[caravan]]ed with. Unlike most other items however, it cannot be destroyed without first [[#Deactivation|deactivating]] it.

=== Containment ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Details}}
Unlike other [[entities]], the cube does not need to be contained. It can simply be kept as any other item while it is studied.
Studying the cube provides 2 advanced knowledge, and it can be studied every 2 days.

=== Cube Obsession ===
{{Quote| "This person is drawn to the golden cube. If separated from the cube for too long, they'll start to experience negative effects."}}
When the cube spawns on the map, one [[colonist]] will gain the cube obsession health effect. Over time, while the cube remains on the map, other colonists will become afflicted as well{{Check Tag|how often?}}. They will experience a series of buffs and debuffs that get more severe as the affliction progresses, and severe negative [[thought]]s if they don't interact with the cube regularly.

Cube-Obsessed colonists will often stop their current task to 'play' with the cube.{{Check Tag|how often?}} They cannot have their task changed while playing, but can still be drafted. Upon playing with the cube, a colonist will get {{Thought|label= Cube Joy|desc= My wonderful cube. My precious cube. I love it. It's so beautiful.|value=+15|stack=1|duration=1}}. Colonists in later stages{{Check Tag|verify}} of cube obsession will often aimlessly wander and think about the cube. Unlike playing with the cube{{Check Tag|verify}}, this does not provide recreation, and can easily lead to recreation- and sleep-deprived pawns.

Cube Interest progresses over time{{Check Tag|verify|what's the increase rate?}}. You always recieve a notice when it reaches a new stage.

===== Cube Sculptures =====
Cube-Fascinated colonists will go on periodic mental breaks {{Check Tag|verify|MTB?}} during which they will build a [[sculpture]] related to the cube. The building speed of the sculpture is affected by construction skill. The quality can either be of any quality, starting at poor for a 0 beauty score and incrementing by 2 with each quality level. The sculpture is constructed from whatever material the colonist is standing on or by. For example, colonists standing around dirt will make dirt sculptures while those on concrete will make scrap or stone sculptures{{Check Tag|verify|verify all possible materials and floor compositions}}. The sculpture, once complete, can be freely minified and moved, but it cannot be deconstructed. It must be destroyed with attacks. Be aware that this sculpture will use up a [[Inspired creativity]] inspiration, if the colonist has one.

While the cube statue is placed {{Check Tag|verify| does it count while minified?}} its sculptor gets {{Thought|label=Cube Sculpture|desc= My sculpture... My beautiful Sculpture!|value= +1}}. This stacks with each cube sculpture they've created, without an apparent limit. If the sculpture is destroyed, they'll get {{Thought|label= My Cube Sculpture Destroyed|desc=My sculpture... My beautiful sculpture... |value= -5| stack=10 | multi= 0.75|duration=5}}, and they may become violent: Destroying one sculpture yields 40% Cube Anger, which has a chance of causing a [[Berserk]] mental state{{Check Tag|verify|what's the chance? how fast does it decay?}}. This hediff is hidden, and so its progress cannot be normally tracked.

===== Cube Withdrawl & Coma =====
{{Quote| "This person obsessively wants to find their golden cube. Their skin itches and their mind races, thinking of ways to get closer to the cube. Their symptoms will get worse until they play with the cube."}}
{{Quote| "This person was connected to a golden cube and then separated from it. Severing the link this way has put them in a coma."}}
If an obsessed colonist is prevented from playing with the cube for an extended period of time, they start going through withdrawal. When they do, they get the "Cube Withdrawal" health condition. The rate at which cube withdrawal worsens increases the more obsessed a colonist is with the cube{{Check Tag|verify| How much per day by obsession level?}}. There is an accompanying {{Thought| label= Cube Withdrawl | desc= Where is my cube? Where is it? | value=-15 | value2=-20| value3=-30| stack = 1}} debuff. If cube withdrawl progresses to 100%, the colonist will fall into a cube coma.

If withdrawal reaches 100% severity, the affected colonist will immediately fall into a cube coma, multiplying their consciousness by 10%. It lasts 3-24 days, duration dependent on the colonist's obsession level. Upon waking up from the coma, the colonist will no longer be obsessed with the cube. However, nothing stops the recently woken colonist from immediately become obsessed with the cube again. Destroying the cube using shards while colonists are in this coma will wake them.

Unnatural darkness

2024-06-09T18:28:12Z

DuskTheUmbreon: Solar flares are disallowed during UD. Ref'd to dev comment

{{Anomaly}}
{{Spoiler}}
{{Stub|reason=needs more exact information, page mostly copied from [[Noctolith]]}}
{{Image wanted|reason=examples of ambient damage, visual of map darkness, noctol raids(?)}}
{{Merge|destination=Noctolith|reason=Noctoliths/Noctols are necessarily a part of this event}}

'''Unnatural darkness''' is an event added by the [[Anomaly DLC]]. After a short warning, all unlit tiles in the map will become shrouded in near-total darkness and lingering within it will cause damage to pawns {{Check Tag|Does this affect all pawns or just friendlies?}}.

== Summary ==

When the event begins, the map will gradually grow dark no matter the time of day, and all colonists will receive a {{Bad|-5}} Unnatural Darkness mood debuff. {{Check Tag|Details needed|Are Pawns with the night owl trait, dark vision gene, or darkness precept affected by this?}} However, this is only the first phase. Several hours after it reaches the equivalent of standard nightfall, several [[Noctolith|Noctoliths]] will appear at random unlit locations and the map will be rapidly covered in darkness, rendering objects which are not within range of a light source difficult to see. Any pawn that spends time within these dark areas risks being randomly injured by an unspecified claw attack, inflicting sharp damage and bleeding. These attacks do not originate from any particular entity, and are instead inflicted by the darkness itself. Throughout the event, [[Noctol]] raids are triggered, containing large swarms of extremely powerful entities. However, Noctols are significantly weaker if exposed to any amount of light, suffering {{bad|+15%}} pain, {{bad|+200%}} melee cooldown, and {{bad|-50%}} movement speed. As such, it is important to keep one's colony well-lit to keep the Noctol attacks manageable.

The Noctoliths that spawn do not take any direct action against you, but the only way to end the darkness early is to destroy them all. However, when attacked, a Noctolith will summon a group of Noctols to defend itself. Alternatively, if you can endure several days of being sieged, you can simply wait it out. Within 6-8 days, the Unnatural darkness passes naturally.

== Analysis ==
The Unnatural Darkness event can be an enormous pain if encountered in early game. The random damage dealt to pawns that wander outside lit areas can be debilitating or even deadly if endured long enough, and the Noctols which periodically raid the player pose a significant threat. It is important to note that most other events may still occur during this time: for example, there is nothing stopping a Pit Gate from spawning during a Noctol raid. [[Solar flare]]s specifically are disallowed from occurring during the unnatural darkness.<ref>[https://discord.com/channels/684960023020961812/1237171445394706463/1237172553467039806 Dev comment on a bug report] "Cynapse — 05/06/2024 3:42 PM
Unnatural darkness overrides a solar flare"</ref>{{Check Tag|Others?|Are any other events disallowed during UD?}} While it is entirely possible to wait out the event, relying on your food stocks and well-lit fortifications to fend off the Noctols, you increase the chance of disaster if you allow the event to last longer than it needs to. Unnatural darkness can be especially dangerous if you rely on outdoor farming or [[solar generator]]s, neither of which will function without light. [[Sun lamp]]s and [[hydroponics basin]]s can overcome this limitation to farming, but ideally you should have several days' worth of food stocked regardless.

Although it will likely be too late to fix if one is surprised by this event, keeping one's base well-lit is a live-saving preventative measure, as it both prevents the spawning of Noctoliths inside the base, and ensures that the Noctols will be weakened when they approach. It could be theoretically advantageous for a Noctolith to spawn within one's base as it drastically shortens the journey required to reach and destroy it, but because the spawn locations are unpredictable, this strategy is not recommended.

Keeping pawns from wandering is crucial if you want to avoid needless deaths. Consider adjusting work priorities to keep your pawns inside, researching and cleaning rather than going outdoors. They might not enjoy these tasks, but it's far safer. Another option is to assign areas and restrict your pawns to these safe zones. Alternatively, you can attempt to destroy the Noctoliths. This is risky, but can significantly hasten the end of the event and rewards you with [[shard]]s.

Sending out teams of builders to create a path of torches is sufficient to reach a Noctolith safely. Managing haulers to bring wood to the front line as it creeps forward can speed up the process significantly. Even faster is to use [[disruptor flare]]s or the [[solar pinhole]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} power to quickly create a path. A riskier but admittedly quick option is to command a pawn armed with [[molotov cocktail]]s or other incendiary weapons to start fires by targeting the Noctolith from a distance. Noctol raids will almost certainly occur while you travel, but a crew of well-armed pawns can easily shoot down single Noctols before they can enter melee range, even in darkness. Noctol raids announce the direction they will come from as soon as they spawn, allowing you to retreat to a well-lit part of the map and give yourself even more of an advantage.

Also remember that you don't need to travel all the way to a Noctolith to destroy it. Pawns with long range guns like the [[bolt-action rifle]] or [[sniper rifle]] can pick away at them from a distance in relative safety. Alternatively, [[mortar]]s can very effectively destroy a Noctolith without leaving a base with about 5 hits from [[high-explosive shell]]s, though the cost of doing so should be evaluated: the ammunition cost and mortar deterioration will likely be much higher than 5 shots per Noctolith due to missed shots. Even so, the relative safety of this option makes it worth considering for late-game colonies which can afford to spend the resources. In addition, as the Noctoliths themselves generate several tiles of light, a [[ghoul]] can be sent through moderate stretches of darkness to deal with it in melee. It can regenerate the damage from any hits the darkness delivers, and once it arrives at the Noctolith, it can gradually punch the structure to rubble in relative safety. Alternately, a melee pawn with fast movement speed, the skip psycast, or a jetpack can sprint through the darkness and rapidly tear down a noctolith, especially if they're wielding a breach axe for the extra building damage. Consider sending them immediately after finishing a wave of enemies to reduce the chances of them getting isolated and surrounded by a fresh wave of Noctols.

==Anomaly Endgame==
In addition to spawning as a unique event, Unnatural darkness will also occur once the [[Void monolith]] is awakened. In this case, the darkness requires defeating two waves of [[Void structures]] rather than Noctoliths, but the darkness' damage mechanics remain the same.

Prisoner

2024-06-07T17:48:15Z

DuskTheUmbreon: /* Unwaveringly loyal */ Note a small interaction I noticed.

{| align=center
| {{Characters_Nav}}
|}
----

<onlyinclude>
{{imagemargin|[[File:prisoner_preview.png|right]]|18px}}'''Prisoners''' are [[people]] who have been taken captive. This usually includes [[raiders]], but colonists can be imprisoned too.{{TOCright}}</onlyinclude>

== Summary ==
Prisoners are ordinary pawns under restraint. They have no [[Recreation]] needs, but all other needs and most [[mood]]lets apply to them. This includes a need for [[food]] and the chance for [[mental break]]s. They are confined to their cell, and will not do work. Prisoners retain their faction allegiance; imprisoned colonists who are released will immediately rejoin the colony, while other prisoners will try and leave the map.

Prisoners cannot open doors if not undergoing a [[#Prison Break|prison break]]. While inside your colony, they will try to leave if there is an opening, such as a hole in the wall or a held open door, including if it is held open because of an item inside. A prisoner that can move will wear the most comfortable{{Check Tag|Verify/Detail}} clothing placed in their cell. They eat the food with the best mood buff that they can reach, ignoring food restrictions. Mobile prisoners can use a [[nutrient paste dispenser]] that faces into their prison. Otherwise, wardens will bring any food allowed by their [[Menus#Food restriction|food restrictions]]. A prisoner's medical settings, as well as defaults for all prisoners, can be adjusted in their Health tab.

Colonists assigned to Warden can interact with a prisoner in multiple different ways, including delivering food and recruitment. Colonists assigned to either Warden or Doctoring can feed a prisoner in medical rest. See [[#Interaction]] for more details.

=== Unwaveringly loyal ===
Unwaveringly loyal prisoners are unable to be recruited to your colony, and do not have resistance to lower. They are otherwise the same as regular prisoners, including the ability to become a [[slave]]{{IdeologyIcon}}.

Unwaveringly loyal prisoners can be recruited after undergoing the [[Brainwipe]] psychic ritual.{{AnomalyIcon}}.

Unwavering loyalty can be disabled in the [[storyteller settings]]. Note that the enabling unwaveringly loyal pawns decreases the percentage of raiders that are automatically killed on [[down]]ing to almost exactly make up for the percentage of pawns that are now unrecruitable - this means that the number of recruitable prisoners remains constant with either option, but the total number of prisoners increases with unwaveringly loyal enabled. This is pure benefit if the player only intends to recruit from the pool of randomly downed raiders, however if the player was willing to specifically target good pawns for safe-downing and recruitment, such as through [[blood loss|bleed]] kiting or [[psychic shock lance]], then some portion of those previously recruitable pawns will instead be loyal and thus unavailable.

If an unwaveringly loyal pawn joins your colony through any means, they will lose their unwavering loyalty.

=== Caravans ===
Prisoners can be loaded into a [[caravan]]. If they can walk, they can carry 35 kg worth of items, like your colonists. When inside a caravan, the prisoner will never try and escape unless its part of a [[mental break]].

If the caravan enters a loaded map (such as an ambush), the prisoner will wander around idily, and may walk into the crossfire. Enemies will also target prisoners if their factions are enemies.

== Capturing prisoners ==
In order to capture any prisoner, you need a valid prison, which is enclosed and has an open [[bed]] or [[sleeping spot]] (See [[#Prisons]] below).

The gameplay steps required to capture a pawn depends on their state:
* [[Downed]] pawns can be captured with 100% success, without drafting a pawn. Select a colonist, and right click the future prisoner.
** [[Raider]]s, [[berserk]] pawns, and former prisoners in a [[prison break]] are unable to be captured directly. They must first be [[downed]].
** NOTE: Raiders in particular have a [[AI Storytellers#Enemy death on downed|chance to die]] whenever they are downed from [[pain]] - such as from being injured. This does not apply if the pawn is downed from other causes; some ways to get around this include:
*** [[Psychic shock lance]], although there is a risk of burning the brain
*** [[Blood loss]]
*** [[Tox gas]]{{BiotechIcon}}, although not all xenotypes are affected, and [[Toxic buildup]] also has risks
* To ''arrest'' a colonist, guest, ally, or [[slave]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, you need to [[draft]] a colonist and select the target to capture. The colonist will then walk up to the target and attempt a capture. The chance of success depends on their [[Arrest Success Chance]], and will be displayed on the prompt. Arrest success chance largely depends on [[Social]] skill, but is negatively affected by [[Manipulation]] penalties. If the arrest fails, the target will go [[berserk]]. Pawns with the [[dead calm]] gene{{BiotechIcon}} always have a 100% success chance, regardless of arrester stats, and thus will never go berserk when arrested.
** Colonists can be captured even during a [[mental break]], except for [[berserk]]. This immediately ends most mental breaks, without catharsis. When released, colonists will get the {{--|6}} ''Was imprisoned'' [[mood]]let for 12 days. This mood penalty will not occur if the colonist is instead re-recruited. Arrests will not end the [[Mental break#Run wild|run wild]] or [[mental break#Catatonic breakdown|catatonic breakdown]] mental breaks.

If you attempt to capture a pawn from a neutral or allied [[faction]], the faction will immediately turn hostile. This includes [[transport pod]] crashes, if they happen to be part of an existing faction.

If you need to capture a pawn, then [[sleeping spot]]s can be used to instantly create a prison and bed space anywhere indoors. You can also turn a colonist bedroom into a prison.

=== Reasons to imprison ===
* To recruit raiders, guests, or transport pod crashes into a colony.
* To use raiders for their [[human resources]].
* To end most [[mental break]]s. Colonists can immediately be released afterwards.
* To keep a colonist restrained in order to overcome [[drug]] withdrawal.
* To convert a colonist or [[slave]] to a desired [[ideoligion]].{{IdeologyIcon}}
* To act as sources of [[Genes#Bloodfeeder|bloodfeeding]] or [[hemogen pack]]s.{{BiotechIcon}}

== Prisons ==
[[File:Thank you Megasloth for letting my prisoners run.png|thumb|right|350px|Megasloth getting sheared at the exit of a prison door, holding it open for a prisoner to escape.]]
Prisons are required to hold prisoners.
=== Creation ===
A prison must be designated in a fully enclosed [[room]], closed off with [[wall]]s and other impassable objects like [[door]]s, [[cooler]]s and [[nutrient paste dispenser]]s. Prisoners cannot be captured unless the prison is enclosed, and mobile prisoners will walk out of the map if an opening exists.

In order to actually form a prison, at least 1 [[bed]] or [[sleeping spot]] must be placed. Selecting the bed allows you to set "For Prisoners". Colonists and [[slaves]]{{IdeologyIcon}} may not share the same room as a prisoner; when 1 bed is set to prisoners, all beds will be converted to prison beds. The beds will turn orange to signify this, and the whole room gains an orange outline when selected. In order to actually capture a prisoner, there must be an open sleeping area for them to stay.

=== General ===
A prison is called a ''prison cell'' if there is 1 bed available, or a ''prison barracks'' if there are multiple beds. A prison is otherwise treated as a bed room or barracks, including [[mood]] impacts for its Impressiveness.

Prisoners can only use items that are in their cell. Food, beds, and [[nutrient paste dispenser]]s placed inside a prison are reserved for prisoner use. While a colonist can be ordered to eat food placed in a prison cell, they will not automatically do so. Colonists on the food binge [[mental break]], as well as [[animal]]s, will ignore a prison for this purpose.

Unless you want your prisoners to die, make sure that it is hospitable. Regulate the [[temperature]], or give prisoners sufficiently insulating [[clothing]], such as [[tribalwear]]. Make sure that food gets to a prisoner (either via a storage zone, warden delivery, or [[nutrient paste dispenser]]). Otherwise, see [[#Mood regulation]] for how to make your prison better for the inmates... or worse.

== Interaction ==
Players can assign wardens to do the following tasks:

=== Resistance ===
{{see also|#Recruitment{{!}}Recruitment}}
Prisoners start with '''resistance''', or unwillingness to join the colony. This must be lowered to 0 for recruitment attempts to begin. Unwaveringly loyal prisoners do not have a resistance stat, and can't be recruited.

Under the ''Recruit'' or ''Reduce Resistance'' orders, wardens will attempt to lower the resistance. How much is reduced depends on a prisoner's [[mood]], the warden's [[Negotiation Ability]], and the prisoner's [[opinion]] of the warden. Wardens with more [[Social]] skill have a greater Negotiation Ability. There is a delay between each conversation.

Once resistance hits 0, wardens will try to convince the prisoner to join the colony, with a chance to succeed, depending on each prisoner's recruitment difficulty percentage, their current mood, faction, how many colonists you currently have, as well as your [[storyteller]]. If the prisoner is assigned to ''Reduce Resistance'', then wardens will continue to converse without actually recruiting.

For exact mechanics and chances of recruitment, see [[#Recruitment]].

==== Will ====
Enslave{{IdeologyIcon}} and Reduce Will{{IdeologyIcon}} work analogously to Recruit and Reduce Resistance, except that the end result is that the prisoner becomes a [[slave]]{{IdeologyIcon}}. A prisoner starts with much less will than they do resistance.

==== Tame ====
A [[wild man]] can be arrested and imprisoned. However, they must be [[tame]]d using the usual [[animal]] mechanics, rather than being recruited as a prisoner. Once tamed, they will join the colony as a colonist.

=== Release ===
Wardens will take the prisoner outside your colony, and free the prisoner. "Outside the colony" means beyond your outermost line of connected walls, so it could be just out the door, or across most of the map if your defenses stretch that far.

Releasing a prisoner of another faction will give a [[goodwill]] boost of +12. In order to count towards goodwill, the prisoner must successfully leave the map healthy, with any wounds tended to. Prisoners that can't walk can't be released. Pirates and savage tribes do not interact with goodwill, so releasing them has no effect.

Releasing a colonist will have them rejoin your colony. [[Slave]]s retain their home faction.

=== Execute ===
Wardens will cut a prisoner's neck immediately, killing them without fail. This is a different action from the ''Prisoner execution'' [[ritual]].

Executing guilty prisoners - those who have harmed the colony in 24 hours - give a {{--|2}} [[mood]]let to non-[[Psychopath]] colonists. Executing a non-guilty prisoner increases the penalty to {{--|5}}.

Colonists following an [[ideoligion]]{{IdeologyIcon}} with the [[Ideoligion#Execution|Execution: Respected if Guilty]] precept instead gain a {{+|3}} [[mood]]let for executing a guilty prisoner, with the executioner gaining {{+|10}} mood instead. The [[Ideoligion#Execution|Execution: Required]] precept gains the same moodlets (but shorter) for executing anyone. If the execution was desired by precept, then fluid ideoligions gain a development point.

Executed prisoners who are then [[Resurrector mech serum|resurrected]] will have the execute toggle deselected to prevent their immediate re-execution.

=== Convert ===
{{Ideology|section=1}}
Attemps to [[Ideoligion#Conversion|convert]] the prisoner to the warden's own [[ideoligion]]. The target ideoligion can be selected, which will only allow wardens of that ideoligion to convert.

This is functionally the same as [[Ideoligion#Conversion|regular conversion]] that can occur randomly between colonists, except that it is done on a regular basis.

=== Hemogen ===
{{Biotech|section=1}}
==== Bloodfeed ====
Pawns with the ''Bloodfeeder'' [[gene]] will automatically drink the blood from a prisoner, directly. This happens when a bloodfeeder is below their desired Hemogen and if the bloodfeeding would not kill the prisoner.

==== Hemogen farm ====
Automatically orders the operation extract [[hemogen pack]] when a prisoner's [[blood loss]] level reaches 0. In addition to creating drinkable hemogen, it also trains the surgeon's Medical skill.

=== Other ===
* Prisoners can be escorted by a warden to a prisoner bed. Prisoners can be escorted to a prisoner medical bed, if needed, without a risk of escape.
* Prisoners can initiate social fights, both with colonists and other prisoners. Social fights with wardens are unlikely, as recruitment conversations quicky increase [[opinion]].
* Prisoners can be given any number of medical [[operation]]s. This includes injecting [[drug]]s, installing [[artificial body parts]], [[organ harvesting]], and more.
* Prisoners are valid targets for a [[gene extractor]]{{BiotechIcon}}, [[subcore softscanner]]{{BiotechIcon}}, or [[subcore ripscanner]]{{BiotechIcon}}.
* Prisoners can be sold to a [[faction base]] or slaver for [[silver]], or a royal tribute collector{{RoyaltyIcon}} for [[honor]]. Colonists who do not like slavery will get a -3 moodlet, modified by [[ideoligion]]{{IdeologyIcon}}.
* If a prisoner dies, the mood penalty depends on their cause of death. "Intentional" means, like violent combat, count as an execution.

== Prison break ==
{{Move|section=1|destination=Events|reason=Double up - See [[Talk:Events#Prison break is doubled up]] for discussion}}
In addition to prisoners being able to leave if there's an opening, prisoners have a small chance to actively break out and escape. This is affected by the following factors:
* Number of [[door]]s in their cell.
* Prisoner [[Moving]] capacity.
* [[Gene]]s relating to aggression.{{BiotechIcon}}
* Number of prisoners. Events are rolled per prisoner, meaning that the more prisoners you have, the greater the chance of a prison break happening.

All rooms within 20 tiles of the prisoner who started the prison break have a chance to join it. The original room has a 100% chance to join. Other rooms have a 50% chance to join. If the room does join, all prisoners in that room are affected too.

During a prison break, prisoners are able to open all doors. They will attempt to equip and use [[weapons]] and weapon-like [[utility]] items such as [[orbital bombardment targeter]].

To fight escaping prisoners with less risk of killing them, use low damage weapons, unarmed combat, or melee with ranged weapons. Place your exits away from the map edge and keep as few doors as you need. Store weapons away from your prisoners, and watch out for downed fighters dropping their own weapons. Alternatively, brain implants that cause [[brain shock]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} can be implanted in long term or particularly unruly prisoners, and [[EMP]] weapons used to down them instantly and safely.

== Recruitment ==
In order to start recruitment, a target pawn must first be captured, and become a prisoner. Prisoners then must be set to "Recruit" (or "Reduce Resistance" and then "Recruit") in the "Prisoner" tab of their personal info box (bottom left of screen when pawn is selected).

Then colonists assigned to wardening will "chat" with the target prisoner. This can be repeated every several hours, each one reducing [[#Resistance|Resistance]] by a predictable amount (based on the Social pawn's Social skill and the target's Mood).

=== Starting resistance ===
Each prisoner has their own recruitment difficulty:
* The maximum difficulty is 99%, while the minimum is 10%. The average is 50% with a standard deviation of 15%.
* For each level of technology between your faction and the enemy's, the difficulty is increased by 16%. [[New Tribe]]s have a harder time recruiting outlanders, for instance.
* The [[storyteller]] will change the recruitment difficulty of prisoners depending on your existing population.

A prisoner's base resistance depends on their difficulty. At 10% difficulty, prisoners have no starting resistance. At 50%, they have 15. At 90%, they have 25. At 100%, they have 50.

This is multiplied by the storyteller's 'population intent' factor- the greater your population, the less the storyteller will want you to have an increase in population, and hence the higher the starting resistance. At -1 intent, the resistance is multiplied by 2. At 0, the resistance is multiplied by 1.5. At 1, the resistance is multiplied by 1. At 2, the resistance is multiplied by 0.8.

Finally, the resistance is multiplied by a random factor between 0.8 and 1.2.

=== Resistance reduction ===
A warden will reduce a base of 1.0 resistance per conversation. This is multiplied by:

'''Prisoner's [[opinion]] of the warden:'''
* At -100 opinion, the resistance reduction factor is 50%.
* At 0 opinion, the resistance reduction factor is 100%.
* At 100 opinion, the resistance reduction factor is 150%.

'''Prisoner [[mood]]:'''
* At 0% current mood, the resistance reduction factor is 20%.
* At 50% mood, the resistance reduction factor is 100%.
* At 100% mood, the resistance reduction factor is 150%.

'''Negotiation Ability:'''
* See [[Negotiation Ability]].

==== Word of Trust ====
The [[Psycasts#Word of trust|Word of Trust psycast]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} will reduce resistance by 20, multiplied directly by the prisoner's [[Psychic Sensitivity]] and no other factors.

== Tips ==
=== Mood regulation ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Only some mental breaks are available to prisoners. Which? Expand on how that affects strategy and options}}
Increasing [[mood]] makes prisoners easier to recruit, and less likely to go [[berserk]]. If you want to increase prisoner mood, you can do the following:
* Give prisoners separate rooms, preferably one that isn't cramped.
* Give a prisoners a source of [[light]], a [[table]] and [[chair]], and a decent [[bed]].
* Increase the impressiveness of a room with [[sculpture]]s, [[stone tile]]s, etc.
* Give the prisoner [[fine meal]]s, [[lavish meal]]s, or even [[drug]]s.

=== Changing ideoligion ===
If you want to change the target's [[ideoligion]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, then instead try and make the prisoner upset. Lower mood reduces [[certainty]] gain, and may cause a [[Mental break#Crisis of belief|Crisis of Belief]] extreme mental break, which reduces certainty by 50%. The following can help with decreasing mood:
* Keep prisoners in a confined, dark space, without a bed or furniture. Even if there's only 1 prisoner, placing 2 [[sleeping spot]]s will create a prison barracks.
* Feed the pawn [[human meat]], [[insect meat]], [[raw food]], or [[kibble]]. Certain ideoligions can make some of these foods more desirable, but kibble is never desirable to eat.
* Keep them in [[pain]]. Inflicting [[injury]] comes at the risk of scarring or permanent damage, however, and a [[mindscrew]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} cannot be removed by traditional methods once the pawn is converted. A [[torture crown]]{{IdeologyIcon}} is a risk free way of inflicting pain, but dressing prisoners has its own difficulties.
Keep in mind that crises of belief that would drop a pawn's certainty to or below 0%, will instead convert the pawn to a weighted randomly selected ideoligion with a new certainty. While this process might select the intended ideoligion, it may not while also requiring their certainty be reduced again. If a pawn's certainty is below 50%, consider improving their mood above their extreme [[mental break threshold]] to prevent this.

=== Prisoner suppression ===
Whenever they are [[berserk]], under a [[#Prison break|prison break]], or just escaping, sometimes you will need to subdue a prisoner. When berserk, prisoners will fight other prisoners, then will punch the weakest area (usually a [[door]]) to escape. When under a prisoner break, they can just open the door.

If you need to keep the prisoner alive, it is best to use low damage weapons and attacks - even just melee attacks with a gun or bare fists. Several unskilled pawns work better than 1 skilled one. For berserkers, you can have a skilled [[Construction]] pawn constantly repair the door. This trains Construction but is labor intensive.

If free roaming [[animal]]s are within the prison, then [[berserk]]ing prisoners will prioritize them over breaking out. You can place [[animal sleeping spot]]s inside the prison for an automatic form of prisoner suppression. Note that animals are slightly more dangerous than humans. In addition, most animals will create a large amount of [[filth]], quickly lowering the room's quality. You may want to use [[straw matting]].

=== Unwanted prisoners ===
Enemies who have fallen in battle may not always be worth capturing in the first place. For example, a hostile with a shattered spine will require a [[bionic spine]] to replace, which may not be worth it. Unwavering prisoners can't be recruited normally, so fall under the same boat.

There are several ways to dispose of these prisoners:
* '''Release:''' The least upsetting way to remove a prisoner. Colonists will not become upset if an enemy prisoner is released, and it may increase [[goodwill]] by a small amount.
* '''Expendables:''' This is not exactly "getting rid of them", as much as making best (and ultimately temporary) use of them. Recruit them, and send them out for a long [[caravan]] that you wouldn't expend another colonist for. You can set them on a trading expedition, or scout a base/map. Or, you can use them as a meatshield. A "colonist" dying still gives a negative moodlet (-3, same as incidental death or non-guilty euthanasia), which is affected by [[opinion]]. Cut off their tongue to prevent social interaction from happening. Of course, unwavering prisoners can't be recruited.
* '''Euthanasia:''' Execute in a more humane fashion by neck cut. This costs 1x [[herbal medicine]] (or better) and trains Medical experience. An 'innocent' prisoner going through euthanasia is less upsetting than an innocent execution.
* '''Execution:''' Execute a prisoner in a raw manner. Those with an [[ideoligion]] favoring execution will enjoy it. With a fluid ideoligion, execution is a very easy way to gain development points (so long as it is Respected if Guilty).
* '''[[Human resources]]:''' Use prisoners for their parts. Artificial limbs can be removed without penalty.
** [[Organ harvesting]]: A [[kidney]] and [[lung]] can be harvested without death, and a [[heart]], [[liver]], or second kidney/lung can be taken to kill. Unless Organ Use is acceptable by [[ideoligion]], this comes with a -6 [[mood]] penalty (stacks, but diminishing) for the colony, and even more if the prisoner was killed.
** Used for a [[gene extractor]]{{BiotechIcon}} or [[subcore ripscanner]]{{BiotechIcon}}, the latter of which is fatal.
* '''Selling:''' Prisoners can be sold for money at a [[faction base]] or slaver, or exchanged for [[honor]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} from a royal tribute collector. Each sold prisoner gives -3 [[mood]].

Devourer

2024-06-07T17:27:39Z

DuskTheUmbreon: Substantial rewrite and cleanup, especially of the containment section. Event is redlinked to make it more noticable that we still need to add those events somewhere.

{{Anomaly}}
{{Spoiler}}
{{Stub|reason=General}}
{{Infobox main
| name = Devourer
| image = Devourer.png
| description = A massive monster with a gaping toothed maw and a stubby, snake-like body. The devourer can leap several times its body length to swallow a person whole. Powerful stomach acids rapidly digest the still-living victim. The remains are regurgitated soon after.
}}
Devourers are an entity added in the [[Anomaly DLC]].

== Occurrence ==
Devourers occasionally raid the colony as part of the [[Devourer attack]] event, and can also be part of the final raids of the anomaly ending.

== Summary ==
{{Rewrite|reason=Separate swallowing/digestion summary from combat summary|section=1}}
=== Combat ===
Devourers are rather unconventional combatants, as they prefer not to attack normally. Instead, they will choose a target, lunge at it{{Check Tag|Range?}}, and instantly swallow it whole. It is possible to avoid being swallowed by using a [[Jump pack]], [[Longjump legs]], or similar ability during the devourer's lunge attack. The devourer will then prioritize a different target upon landing{{Check Tag|verify}}. A devourer cannot swallow any pawn with a body size greater than 3.5. Once the devourer has consumed its target, it will not move so long as it is full, making it vulnerable to retaliation. The swallowed pawn will be digested over time at a rate related to their body size, receiving acid burns. The rate at which a creature is digested is linearly interpolated between three different points - 10 seconds to digest a pawn with a body size of 0.2, 30 seconds for a pawn with a body size of 1, and 60 seconds for a pawn with a body size of 3.5. The devourer is capable of swallowing and digesting [[mechanoid]]s. If a devourer catches fire, is affected by [[Vertigo pulse]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, is downed, or is killed, it will immediately regurgitate whatever it is swallowing. The devourer's swallowing attack has a cooldown of one hour.

Devourers are quite destructive, and will smash up player-owned buildings if they cannot find any pawns to attack.

=== Yield ===
The devourer yields 4 [[bioferrite]] and 800W per day.

== Analysis ==
=== Combat ===

When fighting devourers in close range, especially in great numbers, it is practically guaranteed that at least one of your fighters will get swallowed. However, apart from the damage from acid burns, there are no long-term drawbacks to a pawn being swallowed, assuming they are promptly liberated. In fact, full devourers are easier to deal with, as they will not attack or flee while digesting. For these reasons, there are two basic strategies for engaging devourers: Picking them off at range and staying safe, or getting close and taking their punishment.

If you plan on taking the devourers head-on, and there are a large number of devourers attacking, then it would be a good idea to try and split them off while also keeping your fighters close together. This way, fewer fighters end up being swallowed at any given time, and more fighters are available to retaliate against digesting devourers.

Devourers are generally slower than humans, who have a base movement speed of 4.6 tiles/second. This makes [[kiting]] viable, but still dangerous. Care must be taken to stay out of the devourer's lunging range, as they can close the distance instantly. If any fighter ends up being swallowed while several devourers are in combat, you will have to choose whether to leave them for dead or abandon the kiting maneuver and rescue them.

If you have a [[mechanitor]]{{BiotechIcon}} in your colony, a valid strategy would be to inundate the devourers by sending in a wave of labor mechanoids and allowing them to be swallowed, then sending in your actual fighters. [[Scorcher]]s can be highly effective in forcing devourers to regurgitate swallowed pawns or mechs. The high rate of fire of scorchers, as well as their low resource and bandwidth cost, make them cost-efficient counters to the devourer's most dangerous attack. Similarly, pawns armed with [[hellcat rifle]]s or [[incinerator]]s can be used on devourers that are actively digesting. [[Tesseron]]s{{BiotechIcon}} can also be effective at lighting devourers on fire, and have considerably longer range than scorchers. Additionally, the devourer is incapable of swallowing the larger mechs. For example, if you use a [[Diabolus]]{{BiotechIcon}} or a [[War_queen|War Queen]]{{BiotechIcon}} to tank, you can force the devourer to stay in melee combat while other mechanoids or colonists shoot at it. Some medium sized mechs, such as the [[Pikeman]]{{BiotechIcon}} or [[Scyther]]{{BiotechIcon}}, can be swallowed and go through a full digestion cycle without dying, allowing them to be swallowed a second time. If they do go through that cycle and survive, they still take significant damage and are likely to lose a body part.

Similarly, devourers can be countered with attack animals. Spammable animals like dogs are numerous and expendable enough to be used as a distraction, similar to labor mechanoids. Larger animals like elephants work even better; they're too big to be swallowed and are too sturdy for devourers to kill with their feeble melee attacks.

It is also recommended to have at least one colonist behind the main lines with a weapon capable of lighting fires, like an [[Incinerator]] or [[Molotov cocktails]], to force devourers to regurgitate colonists if any are at risk of being digested before your fighters can down it. [[Plasmasword]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}} are an ideal choice for any melee pawns, and colonists with the [[Genes#Fire_spew|Fire spew]] gene will be able to force multiple devourers to regurgitate at once.

=== Containment ===

Due to their very high health and body size, devourers are very likely to be downed via pain, rather than outright dying to a destroyed body part, and are less likely to bleed out before you can tend to them. This may make them significantly easier to capture than other entities. They also have the highest power yield of all entities and provide advanced research.

However, devourers also have one of the highest containment strength requirements of all entities, behind only the fearsome [[Metalhorror]], and can be extremely dangerous in large numbers. Their bioferrite yield is also fairly middling, being only 1/day higher than the far less dangerous and easier to contain [[Noctol]], which also provides advanced research.

== Trivia ==

Similar to mech raids, devourers may spawn from ocean and river tiles even if a raid normally would not be able to spawn due to deep ocean water. This can be a nasty surprise for players who prioritized defenses against normal raids coming in from the map edge. {{Check Tag|verify}}.

{{Stub|section=|reason=Details- how long is stun does it provides every time, define living target eyc}}
The nerve spiker is a crossbow like weapon that stuns living targets on hit.

== Analysis ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Potential for melee blocking, maximum Stun uptime % etc}}
The Nerve Spiker has a pretty low rate of fire and performs poorly at middle and long range. This makes it good especially in close combat fights and for hunting. It can be aquired early in the game as quest reward due to its low value. Higher quality nerve spikers can hit enemies reliably, especially when paired with a pawn with a high shooting skill. This makes them very valuable in slowing down dangerous enemies. The stun time is between 1 and 4 seconds, dependent on the body size. The target is only adapted after being hit for a short time.

== Growing ==
Saguaro cacti have a base growing time of 5 days, need a minimum soil fertility of 5%, and have a fertility sensitivity rating of 0%. The following table details how long it takes for saguaro cacti to grow in each growable ground type, factoring in the plant resting time and being in ideal growing conditions:

{{Grow Table}}

Saguaro cacti surprisingly have the highest wood yield per day out of all wood-yielding plants (except the singular Gauranlen tree) in all soils. But on the other hand looking at wood per work it's one of the worst wood-yielding plants, especially in fertile soil.

Saguaro cacti are also unique in the respect that they are the only product-yielding plant that can naturally grow in sand. Note that since growing zones cannot be placed on sand, you cannot ''farm'' them in sand.

== Food production ==
Unlike in real life, saguaro cacti don't yield any human-edible products in RimWorld.

== Economy ==
The saguaro cactus' raw product is wood, which has a market value of 1.4 [[silver]]. The refined product with the largest profit margin is a [[grand sculpture]], having a 51.25%<ref>110% sell price multiplier and assuming normal quality. Your mileage may vary; see [[quality]] for more information on skill level's impact on the average market value of produced goods.</ref> profit margin.

{{for|a guide to survive events|Events Guide}}
'''Events''' are driven by the currently selected [[AI Storytellers|AI storyteller]].

Most events that occur create a [[Menu#Letters|Letter]], an envelope icon on the right side of the screen. Other events will pause the game and pop up a window where the player must make a choice. Usually, the color of the envelope will suggest the severity of the event; blue envelopes are good events, grey is neutral, yellow is bad, and red denotes direct threats.

Many event titles are variable. They can mention location, pawn and faction names, specific buffs or debuffs, or even have countdowns for the time variable events.

{{TOCright}}

=Major Threats=
Major threats can appear from Base Builder difficulty onwards. They mostly consist of direct attacks to your colony. Their size depends on the [[raid points]] mechanic; generally increasing in strength with wealth, colonist count, and [[difficulty]].

[[Cassandra Classic]] and [[Phoebe Chillax]] both treat major threats separately from other events; they cycle between "OnDays" and "OffDays", where a certain amount of major events ''will'' occur during each OnDay cycle. [[Randy Random]] simply treats a major threat as an event that's less likely to happen.

==Enemy attack==
{{main|Raids}}
Commonly known as a '''raid''', this event comes in several types. It is possible for multiple raids to happen at the same time, even of opposing factions. [[Raider]]s will come and assault your colony, first attacking adult colonists that they can walk to, then animals and buildings. Human raiders flee if enough of them have been [[downed]] or killed, or if enough damage to your colony has been done. [[Mechanoid]]s will persist indefinitely.

====Arrival methods====
Tribal-level factions can't use drop pods, so are limited to assaults.
*'''Assaults''': Arrive at the edge of the map, either by walking or by [[drop pod]]. They may assault the colony immediately, or stage for a time before launching their attack, giving you time to prepare.
*'''Center drop''': Raiders immediately attack via drop pod, centered on one of your colonists. There is 40% to drop on an un[[roof]]ed [[orbital trade beacon]] if one is present. Drop pods can go through constructed and thin rock roofs, but not overhead mountain.
*'''Scatter drop''': Raiders immediately attack via drop pod, which have gone "haywire" and will disperse throughout the map.

====Types====
*'''Smart''': "Unusually clever", will try and avoid [[trap]]s and [[turret]]s.
*'''Sappers''': Sappers will try and mine or break walls to create the shortest route to a colonist's bedroom. They are smaller than usual raids.
*'''Breachers''': Appears with breach-type raiders, such as tribals with [[breach axe]]s or [[termite]] [[mechanoid]]s. Breachers will attack walls in their path indiscriminately, as opposed to sappers having a target.
*'''Siege''': See below.

File:Sappers.png|'''Sappers'''
</gallery>

===Siege===
Sieges are a special type of raid. They arrive in drop pods, along with supplies. They will construct [[sandbag]]s and [[mortar]]s, and will continuously be supplied with food and mortar shells. They will fire at colonists, colony structures, and other pawns they are hostile to. Sieges will directly assault the colony after a long time (a few days), if their mortars are destroyed or unbuildable, or after sufficient casualties.

It is possible to steal a critical material (like [[component]]s) and prevent them from completing construction. This is largely possible with a [[psycast]]er{{RoyaltyIcon}} using both Invisibility and Skip, with enough heat capacity to cast both 2-3 times in a row.

Strategies to force sieges to attack include the [[sniper rifle]] (watch out for other snipers), a [[psychic animal pulser]], or your own [[mortar]]s.

==Infestation==
{{main|Infestation}}
Infestations come with [[hive]]s and [[insectoid]]s. Hives will produce [[insect jelly]], but will rapidly create insects, too. If you don't want it to infest the whole area, muster your forces and destroy it. But beware - the bugs will defend their hive.

In order for a regular infestation to spawn, there must be an open area with the [[overhead mountain]] roof, within 30 tiles of a colony [[structure]], and a temperature above {{temperature|-17}}. Light, and temperatures below {{temperature|-8}} reduce the chance of infestations.

The [[#Too Deep: Infestation|Too Deep: Infestation]] is a separate event. [[Insect]]s can still arrive, but this event has separate mechanics.

==Manhunter pack==
{{For|the mental state that makes these animals hostile|Manhunter}}
A pack of [[scaria]]-infested animals have arrived, [[Manhunter|hunting]] for human flesh. A manhunter pack has 40% more points (i.e. 40% more "raiders") than a regular raid. When killed, scaria has a chance to instantly rot a [[corpse]], which makes them inedible and creates [[rot stink]]. A single animal can arrive and the event will still be called a "pack".

Manhunters will roam the region, attacking any human they can path to. The animals can't enter doors, but if they see a colonist run behind a door, they will attempt to beat down the door. If left alive, they will congregate around your base for anywhere from 24 to 54 in-game hours before they all leave.

[[File:Manhunter pack.png|300px|Manhunting [[warg]]s]]

==Psychic wave==
Appears as Mad Animals: (Animal name). Immediately drives local [[animals|wildlife]] insane, becoming [[manhunter]]. As opposed to a manhunter pack, these animals do not have [[scaria]]. No new animals are created - only animals already on the map can be affected. This fact means that psychic waves scale poorly with raid points; advanced colonies will find these events much smaller than any other major threat.

As manhunters, the selected animals will roam the region, attacking any human they can path to. The animals can't enter doors, but if they see a colonist run behind a door, they will attempt to beat down the door. Unlike with scaria, the manhunter status will end when the animals need to sleep.

This event has a [[Events#Mad animal|variation]] that only affects a single animal, which is not considered a major threat.

== Crashed ship part ==
{{For|the help guide|Defense_structures#Crashed_ships}}
{{For|information on the ship parts themselves|Crashed ship parts}}
A [[crashed ship parts|large piece of an ancient ship]] crashes nearby, along with a pack of [[mechanoid]]s. The mechs will generate dormant, but will awaken when they or the ship part are attacked. While the ship part is still active, they will activate an intensifying negative effect on the map.

=== Defoliator ship ===
A crashed defoliator ship kills all wild or domesticated plants in an expanding circle, up to a radius of 100 tiles. The poison kills crops randomly, including plants grown in [[hydroponics basin]]s. Crops will end up nearly impossible to grow.

=== Psychic ship ===
A ship part projects a psychic drone which negatively affects the [[mood]] of a specific gender. It begins low and grows progressively stronger the longer it stays. [[Psychic sensitivity]] increases or decreases the drone's effect.

The ship's is also capable of emitting psychic pulses that can drive a colonist to an immediate mental break, or nearby animals to madness.

===== Drone intensifies =====
If left alone long enough, the drone emitted from a crashed psychic ship will get worse as time goes on. Every 2.5 days the drone gets stronger, from -12 mood at the beginning up to -48 after 7.5 days.
<gallery widths="250px" heights="250px" class="left" mode="nolines">
File:Poison ship.png|'''Defoliator ship'''
File:Psychic ship.png|'''Psychic ship'''
</gallery>

==Mech cluster==
{{Royalty|Section=1}}
{{main|Mech cluster}}
Mech clusters are similar to crashed ship parts with a more complex structure, with buildings like [[wall]]s, [[turret]]s, and [[unstable power cell]]s. They also spawn dormant, but can come with activators, able to wake up from proximity or over time. They can come with on-map [[condition causer]]s, such as sun blockers or EMP dynamos.

==Problem causer==
{{Royalty|Section=1}}
{{main|Condition causer}}
A [[condition causer]] has appeared within 10 world tiles of your colony, creating a negative effect. It must be destroyed to stop the effect. Some conditions may be situationally good, such as a psychic suppressor (male) when you only have females in the colony.

=Extreme weather=
The following events can appear from Base Builder difficulty onwards.

==Flashstorm==
[[File:FlashstormScreenshot.png|300px|thumb|left]]
A localized, intense '''[[lightning]] storm''' within a radius between 45 and 60 tiles. Active lightning will strike between every {{Ticks|320}} to {{Ticks|800}}. Once it finishes, no rain can fall until {{Ticks|30000}} has passed. This can create big [[fire]]s. It lasts between 0.075 and 0.1 days, and will not reoccur for 15 days. Clicking the envelope icon offers the option to jump to the center point.

This can also be caused by the [[Psycasts#Flashstorm|Flashstorm]] Psycast {{RoyaltyIcon}}, but will not show up as a notification.
{{clear}}

== Toxic fallout ==
"''A distant chemical fire has released a plume of poison over this entire region that will slowly settle out of the atmosphere. It will last for anywhere from a few days to an entire season.''"

'''Toxic fallout''' is a dangerous event which causes [[toxic buildup]] to any pawn not under a roof. The fallout also gives a {{--|5}} [[mood]]let for colonists when outside. It lasts between 2.5 and 10.5 days, will not occur before Day 60 of the colony, and will not reoccur for 90 days.

Toxic buildup from toxic fallout is proportional to both [[Toxic Resistance]] and the [[Toxic Environment Resistance]] of the pawn. Animals have 50% [[Toxic Resistance]], so buildup increases at half the rate, but exposed animals will eventually die. When animals die with toxic buildup, there is a chance, scaling with severity, for their [[corpse]] to immediately rot.

By default, toxic buildup increases at a rate of 40% per day. For humans, a moderate buildup - 40% severity, or 24 hours left outside - is enough to potentially cause permanent damage, from either [[dementia]] or [[carcinoma]]. Death happens at 100% severity. In [[Biotech]],{{BiotechIcon}} both resistances can be gained in a number of ways, allowing counters to the effects of the fallout. These include the [[face mask]], [[gas mask]], [[detoxifier kidney]], [[detoxifier lung]] and several [[genes]].

All plants, including trees, will wither during the fallout.{{Check Tag|How long?}} Crops can be protected under a roof, but without a [[sun lamp]], they'll rot anyways. [[Insectoid]]s and [[mechanoid]]s are fully immune.

</gallery>

== Volcanic winter ==
"''A distant supervolcano has erupted and begun spewing millions of cubic kilometers of ash into the atmosphere. Ash in the atmosphere will obscure the sun. Temperatures will drop and plants will suffer for lack of sunlight. It could pass in a few weeks, or it might last many months.''"

'''Volcanic winter''' lowers the temperature and natural [[light]], which in turn weakens [[solar generator]]s and slows plant growth. They also appear to significantly reduce the inflow of wildlife (observed in a Temperate Forest, 300x300, very few animals came in during Spring-Summer when there would normally be many). This can easily lead to meat shortage and famine if you do not have sufficiently large farms for your colony. Volcanic winters will last between 7.5 and 40 days, will not occur before Day 60 of the colony, and will not reoccur for 140 days.

=Random=
==Quests==
{{Main|Quests}}
Quests are a class of event that provide conditions to be met or actions to be performed to gain a reward. There are a wide variety of quests, which are listed on the quest page.

==Good==
=== Ambrosia sprout ===
[[File:Ambrosia sprout.png|300px|right|thumb|An ambrosia sprout among the trees]]
[[{{Q|Ambrosia bush|Image}}|48px|left|frameless]]{{quote|A grove of the mysterious [[ambrosia bush]] has sprouted nearby! If you wait for the plants to grow, you'll be able to harvest the delicious, pleasurable, and slightly addictive [[Ambrosia|fruit]].}}
Ambrosia bushes are the only way to harvest [[ambrosia]], a safe [[mood]] boosting [[social drug]]. A good way to harvest them is to draw a growing zone over them, but forbid sowing. Colonists will then automatically harvest the bushes when they are fully grown.

It can only happen in the following [[biomes]]:
<div style="width:500px"><ul class="ul-column-width-150">
* [[Tropical rainforest]]
* [[Tropical swamp]]
* [[Temperate forest]]
* [[Temperate swamp]]
* [[Boreal forest]]
* [[Arid shrubland]]
</ul></div>

=== Animals join ===
Tamed dogs or [[farm animals]] from off-map join your colony.

=== Animal self-tamed ===
[[File:Thrumbo self-tamed.png|300px|right]]
A random animal on the map becomes tame, and immediately joins the colony. Previously tamed animals can self-tame, where they retain all training they previously had.

You should probably check the "Animals" tab immediately and assign the animal to an appropriate zone, unless you want to let it move unrestricted.

=== Aurora ===
An aurora lights up the night sky, giving a +14 mood boost to anyone who is outside watching. While in real life it only happens near the poles, on the rimworlds it can happen anywhere regardless of latitude. It ends at day and otherwise lasts from 0.125 to 0.35 days.

Despite the event text stating that it will "make the night brighter", it does not actually affect the light level.

=== Cargo pods ===
[[File:Cargo pods.png|300px|left]]
From time to time, [[transport pod|cargo pods]] will fall out of orbit, containing a random amount of single type of resource. The remains of the pods become [[steel slag chunk]]s, which can be refined into usable metal at an [[electric smelter]]. The pods have a chance of crashing through the roofs of any buildings, damaging any nearby furniture, structures or any pawn they land on.
{{clear}}
=== Herd migration: (Animal) ===
[[File:Thrumbo herd migration.png|300px|right]]

A large herd of [[animal]]s is passing through the area. They won't attack unless provoked.

This event only occurs in the following biomes:
* [[Sea ice]]
* [[Ice sheet]]
* [[Tundra]]
* [[Desert]]
* [[Extreme desert]]

=== Party ===
One of your colonists will throw a party around a [[party spot]], or if unavailable, a gather spot ([[table]] or [[campfire]]). Colonists will continually get mood buffs the longer they attend a party.{{Check Tag|Detail|Stacking behavior for party duration?}} Each stack adds {{+|0.8}} to mood, lasts 10 days and stacks up to 10 times, for a max buff of +8 mood. In addition, a party provides many social opportunities. They will usually have [[beer]]s and [[smokeleaf joint]]s, if available, and eat [[meal]]s even when not hungry.

Pawns that don't attend won't get mood buffs. Players may have to [[draft]] and undraft pawns to get them out of work. If too many pawns are drafted at once, or if a [[raid]] happens, then the party will be called off.

=== Psychic soothe ===
[[File:Psychic soothe.png|300px|left]]

When this event triggers, the soothe gives a positive mood modifier (+16 for normal colonists, more or less depending on the [[Psychic Sensitivity]]) to all colonists of a randomly chosen sex. It can be considered the opposite of the [[#Psychic drone|Psychic Drone]]. It lasts between 1.5 and 3.0 days and will not reoccur for 15 days.
{{clear}}

=== (Trader type) ===
This event, without a faction mentioned, occurs when an orbital [[trade]] ship passes near the colony and you have a powered [[comms console]]. Players may trade to obtain resources or weapons, or alternatively sell excess items for silver, which is always accepted by traders. Note that orbital trade ships can appear even when the comms console is turned off, so check the console during a solar flare.

You need to build [[orbital trade beacon]]s before contacting them so you can beam [[silver]] and items up to the ship to actually carry out transactions. You can still check the items for sale even without them however.

=== (Trader type) from (Faction) ===
This event with the faction name mentioned means the traders are terrestrial. Trader caravans from other non-hostile factions can stop by your colony, whether specifically requested via the [[comms console]] at a hit to good will or randomly on their own with no penalty.

=== Transport pod crash ===
A [[downed]] and injured occupant falls from the sky, containing members of a [[faction]] or neutral, unaffiliated spacers. A friendly or neutral occupant can be rescued to a medical bed, while a hostile member must be put into a prison bed.

Once healed, non-hostile crash victims will either join your colony out of gratitude, or walk away to return to their faction. You can instead [[Prisoner|capture]] a non-hostile person, but their faction (if not spacer) will turn hostile.

[[File:Rescuee joined your group.png|300px|thumb|left|Since you rescued him/her. Character joined your group!]]

====Paralytic abasia====
{{Royalty|section=1}}
A transport pod can crash with a person with [[paralytic abasia]], a [[disease]] which prevents movement until cured (usually after 40 days). Unlike regular transport pods, the person will directly ask to join the colony. If you refuse, then colonists will get the same penalties as if you banished another colonist.

====Baby====
{{Biotech|section=1}}
A transport pod may crash with a [[baby]] instead of the regular occupant, and will always appear as a friendly faction/neutral refugee/unaffiliated. You can choose to ignore it and let it starve to death, or adopt the baby by selecting it and click "Adopt". Rarely, the corpse of the baby's parent can also appear next to it, still in pristine condition.
{{clear}}

=== Wanderer joins ===
A random person will forcefully try and join the colony. You have 24 hours to accept or reject them. Accepting will have them appear on the world map. Rejecting will give the same penalties as if you had banished a colonist. Unless it'd be dangerous to enter your colony, there is no reason not to accept the wanderer, see their stats, and then decide to keep or banish them.

With [[Ideology]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, the colonist that joins the colony will have a randomized Ideoligion. This event can also occur at 50% rate if an [[Ideoligion]]'s event result set for this event is "Beautiful/Fun/Good / Unforgettable", with said colonist with the same Ideoligion as the masses of the colonist in the colony.

<gallery widths="300px" heights="300px" class="center" mode="nolines">
File:Wanderer joins normal.png|'''Common character'''
File:Wanderer joins relationship.png|'''Related character'''
</gallery>

=== Wild (wo)man wanders in ===
A random person with no faction wanders into your colony and will mill about the map. You have the option to [[Tame]] this person with a minimum [[Skills#Animals|Animals skill]] of {{Q|Human|Minimum Handling Skill}}. Doing so will convert them to into a completely normal colonist. Sometimes, they may not be able to resist the harshness of nature and may fall unconscious (ex: Toxic Fallout, extreme temperatures), allowing you to rescue them like transport pod crash victims. Arresting them will not allow you to recruit or [[Slavery|enslave]]{{IdeologyIcon}} them like regular prisoners, they must be tamed or rescued.

Wild humans have a 50% chance of attacking when harmed, and 10% if taming fails.

These wild (wo)men may have random Ideoligion with [[Ideology]].

Unlike other animals, wild people will not flee from gunfire. [[Traits#Cannibal|Cannibal]] wild people can hunt human pawns for food like a predator. It is unclear if this applies to non-cannibals as well.{{Check Tag|Detail needed}}

<gallery widths="250px" heights="250px" class="center" mode="nolines">
File:Wild man wanders in.png|'''Wild man wanders in'''
File:Wild man rescued instead.png|'''Wild man joins without "taming"'''
</gallery>

=== Traveler Visit ===
{{:Traveler}}

=== Visitor(s) ===
Friendly faction members may stop by your settlement. Occasionally, they will have a few goods to trade. Like a regular trader they will mill about the player's colony for a while. Unlike a regular trader, they don't have many goods with them, nor do they have as much silver to buy your goods. Visitors possess no higher purpose otherwise, but will fight mutual enemies.

Sometimes there will be a singular visitor. In this case, the game will notify you of the backstory of that visitor.

=== Royal Tribute Collector ===
{{Royalty|section=1}}
{{Main|Royal tribute collector}}
If you are not hostile to the [[Empire]], Royal Tribute Collectors will visit the colony approximately twice a year. Tribute collectors are essentially Empire-only trade caravans that exclusively accept [[gold]] and [[prisoner]]s in exchange for [[Titles#Honor|Honor]].

=== Gauranlen pod sprout ===
{{Ideology|section=1}}
{{quote|A Gauranlen pod has sprouted nearby! Harvest it to collect a Gauranlen seed. This special seed can be used to plant the majestic [[Gauranlen tree]]. Your colonist can connect with Guaranlen trees and make them spawn resources and helpful dryads to work or fight for you.}}

A [[Gauranlen pod|pod]] will appear somewhere with the current map. Harvesting it yield 1-2 [[Gauranlen seed]]. This event occurs roughly every 60 [[time|days]] in every [[biome]] except Ice Sheets and Sea Ice, and this time is decreased to roughly every 30 days for [[Ideoligion#Tree connection|tree connectors]]. This event can also occur if an [[Ideoligion]]'s ritual result is set to trigger this event and performing the ritual receives a "Beautiful/Fun/Good/Unforgettable" quality.

=== Polux tree sprout ===
{{Biotech|section=1}}
A [[polux tree]] may appear whenever there is enough [[pollution]] around. It will consume and clean up said pollution, but will not do so if it or its roots are under a roof.

==Bad==
=== Beavers! ===
A group of ravenous tree-munching [[alphabeaver]]s appears at the edge of the map. This only occurs in the [[arid shrubland]] and [[tundra]], and only when the outdoor [[temperature]] is above the alphabeaver's [[minimum comfortable temperature]] of {{Temperature|{{Q|Alphabeaver|Min Comfortable Temperature}} }}. It will not reoccur for 30 days.

Beavers will act like any other animal. But due to their unique diet and extreme hunger, beavers will continually eat [[trees]] and [[Saguaro cactus|Saguaro cacti]] they can reach, including [[anima tree]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}}, [[gauranlen tree]]s{{IdeologyIcon}}, [[polux tree]]s{{BiotechIcon}} and any trees you're farming. Alphabeavers will not and cannot eat the {{icon small|wood}} [[wood]] item, [[wood]]en buildings, or any other item made out of wood.

The beavers will continue eating until there are no trees left, unless you eradicate them or they're driven off the map by temperature.

=== 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 [[Injury#Heart Attack|heart attack]].
{{Clear}}

=== Blight ===
{{main|Blight}}
[[File:Crop blight.png|200px|thumb|right|Blighted crops with an indicator above them.]]

Blight is a disease that infects [[domesticated plants]] with a growing period shorter than 15 days. Blighted crops will not grow or yield anything when harvested, and the blight will spread to other nearby plants within 3 tiles. These plants must be cut in order to avoid further spread. [[Tree]]s, [[Wild Plants|wild]], [[Decorative Plants|decorative]] plants, and [[devilstrand mushroom]]s are immune to blight.

Blight starts on one of your crops, at 10% severity, affecting 20% of your plants (40% initial plants affected has been witnessed in December 2020). It will progress slowly once plants are infected, and once it reaches 28% it can spread to nearby plants within a 4-tile radius.

It will not reoccur for 30 days.

===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]].

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

=== Eclipse ===
A moon has moved in front of the sun, causing an eclipse. Without [[light]], [[solar generator]]s won't function, and outdoor crops stop growing. It lasts between 0.75 and 1.25 days.

If reliant on solar power, make sure to have [[battery|batteries]] for times like these, or an eclipse raid can be extra threatening.

Pawns with the [[Ideoligion#Eclipse|Eclipse: Beautiful]] precept{{IdeologyIcon}} will receive a {{+|5}} moodlet for seeing an eclipse.

=== Heat wave ===
{{stub|reason=Needs details. How much is the temperature raised by? What's the chance for a fire to occur?}}
A heat wave sweeps the colony, driving outdoor [[temperature]]s unusually high for 1.5 and 3.5 days. There is also a chance for a [[fire]] to randomly appear on the map, which can quickly spread. It only occurs when the map's summer temperature is at least {{Temperature|20}}, and will not reoccur for 30 days.

The major risks are [[cooler]]s failing to freeze food, and [[heat stroke]] to your colonists and animals. Summer clothing like [[cowboy hat]]s and [[tribalwear]] can mitigate the heat, and [[passive cooler]]s can help make indoor temperatures bearable.

=== Cold snap ===
{{stub|reason=Reverted from before the rewrite with minimal changes. All information should be re-verified given its age. Also should be rewritten to better match heat wave above}}
A cold snap makes the [[temperature]] of a colony drop. It only occurs when the map's summer temperature is in the range of {{Temperature|0|15}}. Colonists will complain about the cold, especially sleeping in it if their rooms are not properly heated.

While this is generally good for item preservation, it can kill off crops, influence colonist moods and cause [[Ailments#Hypothermia|hypothermia]] if colonists or animals stay in non-heated areas for a prolonged time. It also renders most of the plants in the area inedible (unless when it happens in warmer areas in which some plants are still edible), potentially causing tame animals to starve to death and wild ones to leave the map. With no other food source, wild predators may attack colonists and tame animals while they are outdoors. Snowing may also happen, depositing thick snow that can slow down outdoor movement significantly.

[[Jacket]]s, [[duster]]s, [[parka]]s and [[tuque]]s provide cold insulation for colonists, protecting them while they're awake, though they don't prevent mood loss caused by sleeping in cold areas.

It lasts between 1.5 and 3.5 days and will not reoccur for 30 days.

=== Mad animal ===
A single random animal on the map turns [[manhunter]], like a psychic wave. The insane animal will charge toward the nearest human anywhere on the map, attacking any other animal or obstacle (doors, fences, barricades, etc.) blocking its way. If the "nearest" colonist changes, the animal may change its focus to that target.

Any animal can be dangerous to a colonist, but multiple colonists can usually take them out. Large animals, as well as the explosive [[boomalope]] and [[boomrat]], are bigger threats.

=== Psychic drone ===
{{For|the moodlet|Mood#Exotic}}
'Drone' in this case does not refer to "Unmanned Aerial Vehicle" but instead "To produce a low-pitched hum or buzz." A psychic drone affects all colonists of a randomly chosen gender, giving a [[Mood#Exotic|strong negative moodlet]]. The drone can vary in severity, from low (-12 mood) to extreme (-40 mood). [[Psychic Sensitivity]] will multiply the effect on the drone. It lasts between 0.75 and 1.75 days and will not reoccur for 15 days.

Colonists have no choice but to endure it, as the point of origin is off-map. [[Psychic foil helmet]]s, [[drug]]s, and other mood-enhancers can help deal with the effects. Animals are not affected.

=== Solar flare ===
Solar flares cause all electrical devices to stop working for its duration, from 0.15 to 0.5 days. [[Wood-fired generator]]s and [[chemfuel generator]]s will still burn fuel during this time.

* Colonies that rely on turrets for defense will become vulnerable to raids.
* Heaters and coolers will stop working. In extreme temperatures, crops will die and colonists can be at risk of heatstroke or hypothermia. [[Campfire]]s and [[passive cooler]]s are low-tech options that work even in a solar flare.
* Crops in a [[hydroponics basin]] will rapidly degrade, regardless of the temperature. It's recommended to quickly harvest any crops that can't be saved before they die.
* Occasionally an [[Trade#Orbital|orbital trade ship]] may arrive during the event, so it is wise to check out the Comms Console as soon as the event ends or risk getting the ''''<trader> has left comms range"'' notification while unaware of their presence. If a ship leaves ''during'' a solar flare, you ''will'' be notified that the trader has left, although this is only a minor message in the upper right of the screen.

Due to its length, most of the adverse effects are manageable.

=== Zzztt... ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Exactly what options zzzt in the rain}}
This event can occur anytime a [[power conduit]] has energy flowing through it. The conduit may suffer a fault, causing a short circuit. They may also occur if certain objects are left unroofed and are exposed to [[weather|rain or snow]]. Short-circuits not caused by rain/snow will not reoccur for 8 days.

The following buildings short circuit due to weather:

Short circuits will either result in a [[fire]], or, if any [[battery|batteries]] are connected to the circuit and contains at least 20Wd, a fiery explosion centered on the tile, that increases with energy stored. The explosion deals 10 [[Damage Types#Flame|Flame damage]] and setting objects on fire. If the explosion radius is greater than 3.5 tiles, a second explosion of 30% radius deals 50 [[Damage Types#Bomb|Bomb damage]], which can extinguish fires. The fault will also discharge all stored power in batteries in the process.

The explosion radius is controlled by the following equation:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| '''Explosion Radius''' = '''clamp'''( '''sqrt'''(Sum of all stored power) * 0.05, 1.5, 14.9)
|}
Or in other words, the radius will be at least 1.5 tiles, and at most 14.9 tiles, with a bomb explosion of 4.5 tiles. This occurs when a total of 90,000 Wd is stored. Bomb explosions can occur beyond once 4,900 Wd are stored.
{| class="wikitable"

Unconnected batteries, such as through an open switch or on separate power network, will not be affected. Power networks which contain only [[Battery|batteries]] and no conduits will not experience this event. Power networks which contain only conduits will only have a single tile on fire, as there's no stored power to be discharged.

= Incidental =
These events aren't triggered by the [[storyteller]]. Instead, they come from various other game mechanics.

== Good ==

=== 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.

=== Masterwork===
One of your colonists has produced an object of masterwork [[quality]].

=== Legendary Work ===
One of your colonists has produced an object of legendary [[quality]].

=== Man in Black ===
[[File:ManInBlack.png|thumb|left|A man in black|100px]]
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 ever had at least 3 colonists, which prevents it from appearing in solo colonist starts. This event also has a cooldown of roughly 1 year. {{Check Tag|Verify|From XMLs, verf. in game preferred}}

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.)

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

=== 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 widths="250px" heights="250px" class="center" mode="nolines">

File:Meteorite.png|'''Landed meteorite'''
</gallery>

=== 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 humanlike 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.

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

{{clear}}

=== 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.

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]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}}. 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.

=== 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.

=== 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==
===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.

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

=== Drug addiction ===
A colonist has taken too much of a [[drugs|drug]] and is now [[Addictiveness|addicted]]. They will now need to regularly take that drug or suffer the withdrawal effects. See here for advice on [[Drugs#Fighting Addictions|fighting addictions]].

=== Heart attack ===
A character or tamed animal suffers a [[Injury#Heart Attack|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.

<gallery widths="400px" heights="400px" class="center" mode="nolines">
File:Heart attack.png|'''Heart attack notification'''
File: Heart attack health tab.png|'''Health tab'''
</gallery>

=== Mental Break ===
{{Main|Mental break}}
One of your colonists or prisoners has had it and has a [[Mood#Mental breakdowns|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 animals for killing and eating. Unlike the majority of threats in the game, predators will not stop attacking once a pawn is [[downed]].

You may want to get this colonist or animal to safety. Drafted colonists will defend themselves. To defend your animals, if there is enough distance, zone them to safety. Otherwise, move a drafted colonist to fire on the predator.

=== Prison break ===
[[File:Prison break.png|300px|thumb|right|Prison break]]

Prisoners have staged a breakout! They are able to open doors and attempt to escape. They are more likely to attempt breakout when they are unhappy, healthy and numerous*, and when their prison has more doors. It's not clear if the number of prisoners in a room actually increases the chance of any single prisoner breaking out, or if the combined individual chances of all present create that greater likelihood.{{Check Tag|Detail Needed}}

Using low damage weapons is advised when containing a prison break to avoid a risk of killing them. Since prisoners are technically part of an enemy faction, any friendlies on the map will engage them. This is helpful if you need to contain a larger break, though the use of higher-powered weapons means they have a higher chance of outright killing the prisoner. Recapturing escaped prisoners from factions that have turned friendly since that prisoner was originally captured will not affect relations with that faction.
{{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===
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.

==Faction==
=== Allied: (Faction) ===
Relations with another faction have risen above +75 and you are now allied with them. They may now [[Events#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|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==
These events serve purely to give information about the game, and have no physical gameplay implications.

===About: Electricity===
Appears when you finish researching [[Research#Electricity|Electricity]]. Reminds you of the power of electric appliances, and the [[power]] infastructure required to mantain 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 [[Research#Starflight basics|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 with 100% success, even if this event doesn't trigger, so long as you have the requisite goodwill. It 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.

==Social==
=== 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}}

=== 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.

=== Rejected proposal ===
After two characters [[Events#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.

{{Clear}}

=== 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 buff to the newly weds, and {{+|20}} to attendees.

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 obviously cannot 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.

=== 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.

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

= World incidents =
{{for|a guide to survive these events|World Quests Guide}}

=== Attack begun ===
This notification will appear when a [[caravan]] has arrived at a settlement chosen for attacking.

=== Bandit camp opportunity ===
{{see also|Offense tactics}}

Some ruffians are causing trouble nearby and other factions will pay you to wipe them out.

The bandit camp will time out and are weaker than regular enemy bases.

Destroying them increases goodwill by 8 and returns a payment worth 2000 to 3000 worth of silver, whether it consists of items or silver itself.

=== Caravan ambushed / (manhunters) ===
While traveling, one of your [[caravan]]s are attacked. The game will give you a mini map to defend it.

The attackers can be an enemy faction lying in ambush or a rampaging manhunter pack your caravan unfortunately trespasses upon.

==== Caravan battle won ====
This event will tell you if your people won their fight, and can reform the caravan on the world map.

=== Caravan arrived at (Location) ===
This is a simple notification that your caravan has arrived at their destination.

=== Caravan lost ===
All human members of your caravan have died, or have been downed on an event map. Anything carried by the caravan, including animals, will be lost to the wild.

If colonists were downed but not killed while fighting human enemies, it is possible for some of them to appear later in a Prisoner Rescue Quest.

[[File:Caravan destroyed.png|400px]]

=== Caravan meeting by (Caravan ID) ===
This is a pop up window rather than an event with envelope icon. While away from your bases, your caravans may randomly encounter other traders out in the world who would be happy to trade with you. Of course, you also have the option to attack them. Be careful, trade caravans are usually well defended.

=== Caravan ready ===
Once you've designated a [[caravan]], you'll get this notification once all of the colonists, prisoners, animals and items have been assembled and left the map. It is now ready to send to other settlements or form another settlement of your own, if you've enabled multiple settlements in the game's settings.

=== Demand ===
A hostile faction approaches your caravan and demand that you give them items and/or hand over members as slaves. If you refuse, they will proceed to assault the caravan.

You can see their number when they are demanding you hand over items.

=== Peace talks ===
[[File:Peace talks.png|300px]]

A hostile faction leader decides to drop his weapons and offers to talk things out for once. The offer expires after 15 days if ignored. Pirates will never attempt peace talks.

To participate, you will need to send a [[caravan]] with a capable negotiator. Once the destination is reached, the most capable negotiator in your caravan will proceed to talk with the leader to hopefully improve relations.

There are several outcomes of the incident, each being a subevent of its own. No matter the outcome, your negotiator will always gain social skill.

'''Peace talk triumph'''
The peace talks were very successful, giving a great boost to relations from 50 to 75. In addition, the faction will give a farewell gift worth between 500 and 1500 silver.

Despite your triumph, if you don't manage to bring relations above 0, they will still remain hostile.

This has a base weight of 0.1.

''' Peace talk success'''

The talks were a success, and relations between the factions have warmed somewhat, from 25 to 75.

This has a base weight of 0.55.

'''Peace talk flounder'''

The talks were neither successful nor a failure, and relations remain unchanged.

This has a base weight of 0.2.

'''Peace talk backfire'''

The peace talks backfired, and relations have gotten worse than they started, from -10 to -50 relations.

This has a base weight of 0.1.

'''Peace talk disaster'''

The peace talks have failed so miserably that the faction hates you a lot more now, with a -25 to -75 damage to relations, as well as instantly turning hostile if they aren't already. In addition, the angered faction sends a group of attackers after your negotiating party.

This has a base weight of 0.05.

==== Outcome chances ====
The actual outcome chances are dependent on the negotiator's Diplomacy Power stat, after going through a simple curve. To do this, the game calculates the bad outcome factor, of the negotiator first.

*At 0% power, the bad outcome factor is 4.
*At 100% power (healthy, lvl 10 Social), the bad outcome factor is 1.
*At 150% power (healthy, lvl 20 Social), the bad outcome factor is 0.4.

The new weight of each outcome is calculated afterwards.
*Triumph = 0.1 * ( 1 / Bad Outcome Factor)
*Success = 0.55 * ( 1 / Bad Outcome Factor)
*Flounder = 0.2
*Backfire = 0.1 * Bad Outcome Factor
*Disaster = 0.05 * Bad Outcome Factor

The sum total of the new weights is then calculated.

Finally, the probability of each outcome is calculated:

{{math|big=0|Probability of each outcome {{=}} New Weight ÷ Sum Total of Weights}}

===== Example =====
Take a level 15 Social negotiator as an example:

#The diplomacy power is 125%, corresponding to a bad outcome factor of 0.7.
#The new weight of each outcome, to 3 d.p.:
#*Triumph = 0.1 * ( 1 / 0.7) = 0.143
#*Success = 0.55 * ( 1 / 0.7) = 0.786
#*Flounder = 0.2
#*Backfire = 0.1 * 0.7 = 0.07
#*Disaster = 0.05 * 0.7 = 0.035
#The sum total of new weights is calculated:
#* 0.143 + 0.786 + 0.2 + 0.07 + 0.035 = 1.234
#Finally, the probability of each event, to 2 d.p.:
#*Triumph = 0.143 / 1.234 = 11.58%
#*Success = 0.786 / 1.234 = 63.69%
#*Flounder = 0.2 / 1.234 = 16.21%
#*Backfire = 0.07 / 1.234 = 5.67%
#*Disaster = 0.035 / 1.234 = 2.84%

=== Rescuee joins ===
Should you succeed in rescuing a prisoner or you offer help to an incapacitated refugee, he or she will immediately join your faction.

= Sub-events =
These aren't quest events on its own, but may happen during other world events such as Incapacitated Refugee or Item Stash Opportunity.

=== Ambush ===
[[File:Incapacitated refugee Ambushed.png|400px]]

Enemies may enter the minimap a little while after your colonists arrive or suddenly appear near the objective when your pawns draw close to it. It's even possible for animals to lie in wait.

=== Sleeping mechanoids ===
When the map generates, sleeping mechanoids will be present near the objective. Going too close to them will awaken them, making them attack. While they are present, you cannot manually reform the caravan as the game notifies you that there are hostiles in the area, but you can still leave through the edges.

{{clear}}

= Game endings =
When these happen, they signify that your game has ended, one way or another.

=== Game over ===
This happens when all your colonists are either dead, missing, or left the planet. The game will show a UI which says that everyone is gone or dead, and allows you to return to the main menu or continue playing. It also says that someone may find a use for the wreckage of your base.

Should you decide to continue playing, events will continue to happen, which can affect the ruined base but not anyone. You can strike lucky and roll 'Wanderer joins' or 'Refugee chased' events, giving you a colonist to rebuild from.

=== Planetkiller ===
This event can only happen by configuring the starting scenario.

When it happens, the screen will fade to white, and a message will show that the planet is obliterated by a planetkiller and that you did not survive.

Unlike your regular 'Game Over', you cannot continue the game. Saved games (including permadeath) can be continued from their last saves, however.

= Legacy events=
Events from previous versions of RimWorld.

=== Bonded animal's death ===
Both of these bonded death events were simplified into the [[#Death|Death: (Pawn)]] event.

An animal with a bond to a colonist dies, affecting that colonist's mood negatively. Enemies may directly target your animals during attacks. Enemies, turrets or even your own colonists can even hit them unintentionally during shootouts, especially animals trained for Release and checked to follow your drafted colonists in the Animals tab. Wild predators may hunt and kill your animals, including bonded ones. Bonded animals can also fall into traps. It can even occur intentionally by slaughtering, euthanizing or manually drafting and attacking the bonded animal.

=== Bonded master's death ===
Both of these bonded death events were simplified into the [[#Death|Death: (Pawn)]] event.

The inverse of a bonded animal's death. This time, it's the master who dies, through causes such as enemy raids, disease or large wild predators getting hungry.

When this happens, any animal that is bonded to the master will have a mental break. It can be a less dangerous one such as a dazed wander, or a more dangerous one such as a berserk rage.

This is one of the only situations where animals can have non-manhunter mental breaks.

=== Breakdown: (Machine) ===
In previous versions, this was its own event. Now it's just a notification.

One of your machines will break down and will not work until repaired with a [[component]]. If this happens to a [[hydroponics basin]], any crops in it will wither and die unless repaired immediately.

This only applies to machines using electricity.

=== Tornado ===
A tornado has touched down in this region, and will proceed to wreak havoc on anything in its way. There is small chance it may spawn at the map borders and eventually [[:File:The tornado has left the map.png|leave the map]].

Tornadoes rapidly deal damage to any structure or item that is right beneath it. Any pawn underneath will rapidly receive scratches from the random objects blowing about in the wind.

Naturally forming tornadoes are exclusive to Beta 18. You can still use the [[Tornado generator]] to spawn them in for defense purposes.

=Event Data=
Note: events that give colonists, such as wanderers or transport pod crashes, are affected by the [[storyteller]]'s population intent factor. They become more common if you have few colonists, and rare if you have many.

{{Info|'''Wood''' is a construction and crafting material vital in the early game.}}

== Acquistion ==
Wood can be obtained by harvesting most [[tree]]s, including plants like the [[saguaro cactus|saguaro cacti]], using the [[Orders|Chop Wood]] command. [[Fibercorn]]{{IdeologyIcon}} can also be grown for wood.

Every default [[scenario]], except for [[Scenario system#Naked Brutality|Naked Brutality]], starts the player with a select amount of wood. Wood is carried by bulk goods [[trader]]s, trade ships, and [[faction base]]s. A single piece of wood is obtained when extracting a [[peg leg]], [[wooden hand]], or [[wooden foot]].

A [[woodmaker]] [[dryad]]{{IdeologyIcon}} will generate some wood every 2 days.

=== Plant yield ===
The following plants provide the following amounts of wood:
<div><li style="display: inline-table;">
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:4.5%">
<div class="mw-collapsible-content" style="width:7000%">

| ?Harvest_Yield

| format = template
| template = Ask Table Formatter
| link = none
| sort = From DLC, Name
}}
|}
</div>
</div>
</li></div>

== Summary ==
Wood is used in the following crafting recipes:
{{Ingredient List}}
Note that [[peg leg]]s, [[wooden hand]]s, and [[wooden foot|wooden feet]] do not exist in item form and are simply added to the pawn during [[surgery]], consuming the wood in the process. When extracting these parts, you simply get the wood back.

'''Other uses:'''
* Wood can be used to construct buildings that use the [[Stuff]] system, such as [[wall]]s or [[door]]s.
* Wood is used to refuel [[torch lamp]]s, [[campfire]]s, [[wood-fired generator]]s, [[Fueled stove]]s and [[Fueled smithy|smithies]], [[brazier]]s,{{RoyaltyIcon}} [[darklight brazier]]s,{{RoyaltyIcon}}{{IdeologyIcon}} and [[darktorch]]es.{{IdeologyIcon}} [[Work#Haul|Haulers]] take care of refueling.
* Wood can be wielded as a [[Weapons#Melee_Weapons|melee weapon]]. It deals more [[DPS|damage per second]] than a bare fist or [[beer]] bottle.

=== Deterioration ===
Wood [[deteriorate]]s very slowly when left outdoors - a rate of 0.25 HP/day. For comparison, a wood log will take ''10 full years'' to deteriorate into nothing, before multipliers like [[rain]]. So, for all intents and purposes, you can safely leave wood outside. The only real threat is [[fire]].

{{Weapon Stats Table}}

== Analysis ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Acquisition analysis, see table on [[Trees]] for initial basis, but add [[Woodmaker]]}}

Wood is a useful material for early [[wall]]s and [[furniture]]. Wood builds are quick to construct, wood itself is usually cheap, and most [[scenario]]s start with at least some. In contrast, [[stone block]]s take a bit of work to make, while [[steel]] is more valuable early. Later on, you should replace your walls with some sort of stone. Otherwise, a [[flashstorm]] or [[raid]] could light your entire base on fire.

In contrast, wood is relatively safe for [[door]]s and [[furniture]].
* Wood doors are the fastest to open until [[autodoor]]s are available. The fire risk of a wooden door, when surrounded by non-flammable walls and floor, is minimal. For comparison, stone doors take a while to open, and [[steel]] doors remain flammable (and slower to open). Using wood for doors can be acceptable into the midgame, and even indefinitely if they are not intended to resist attack.
* There is no specific need to replace wooden furniture, as furniture is usually safe from attack. Like with doors, furniture in an otherwise nonflammable room is usually safe from fire. Other materials might be selected for their improved availability, durability against [[drop pod]]s or [[infestation]]s, and beauty as the colony progresses.

Colonies in extreme and wood-scarce [[biome]]s, like the [[ice sheet]] or [[extreme desert]], should conserve wood as much as possible. It should be used for [[campfire]] or [[passive cooler]]s until you can 1. create electric [[heater]]s / [[cooler]]s, or 2. get the necessary [[clothing]] to survive. For construction, [[ruin]]s can be deconstructed for stone/steel, and steel should be used for furniture instead.

Should your colony be visited by an [[alphabeaver]] infestation, watch out! These ravenous genetically-engineered critters will eat every tree on the map if you don't stop them by force! They will not eat wood on the ground or wooden buildings, however.

=== As a weapon ===
Wood is the one of worst melee weapons in the game, barely beating out a bottle of [[beer]] and a plain, unarmed punch. Even a good-[[quality]] [[eltex staff]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, which is more of a psycasting tool than a weapon, has higher damage and AP. In most cases, players should at least craft a [[club]], rather than using a log as a weapon. Even swinging a gun or bow as a melee weapon will do only slightly less damage, while still allowing you to shoot as enemies approach.

However, any weapon is superior to no weapon. If you have no other weapons available, and do not have the supplies or time to spare to create even a club, then equipping a log is better than having a colonist fight entirely unarmed.

Ailments

2023-07-31T21:11:09Z

DuskTheUmbreon: (Hopefully) link all instances of vomiting. Fixed a few typos and extra spaces while scrolling.

{{rewrite|reason=Cleanup and standardization needed - treatment and stages sections for each required. See [[Template:Heal Option Table]]}}
{{About|chronic health conditions|physical damage|Injury|treatable illnesses|Disease}}
{{TOCright}}

'''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.

A human pawn can first get Alzheimer's at age 34.

}}
|}

'''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#Order_of_conditions_treated|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.

=== 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).

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Stage !! Begins at !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Asthma (minor)''' || ≥ 0% severity || -10% part efficiency
|-
| '''Asthma (major)''' || ≥ 30% severity || -30% part efficiency
|-
| '''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.

|yAxisTitle = Chance/Birthday (%)
}}
|}

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.

Cataracts can be cured through the following methods:
* Replacing the affected eyes with a [[bionic eye|bionic]] or [[archotech eye|archotech]] eye.
* 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.

A human pawn can first get a cataract at age 49.

=== 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"
|-
! Stage !! Begins at !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Carcinoma (minor)''' || ≥0% severity ||
* Little pain (+10%)
* -10% part efficiency
|-
| '''Carcinoma (minor)''' || ≥15% severity ||
* Moderate pain (+20%)
* -25% part efficiency

* 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 only has a 70% base chance to succeed.{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Not in .xml}} Also note that if the surgery fails, there is a 25% chance that the patient [[Death|dies]]. Thus, as the maximum [[Doctoring#Success chance|success chance]] of any surgery is capped at 98%, there is always at least a 0.5% chance of death per attempt.

A human pawn can first get a carcinoma from normal aging at age 23. 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.

=== 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.

|}



=== 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 [[Genes#Bloodfeeder|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 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>Increase in heatstroke severity every 60 ticks = max(0.000375, 0.0000645×effective_temperature_curve(<i>ambient_temperature</i> - (<i>maximum_comfortable_temperature</i> + 10°C)))</code>
::<code><i>where </i>effective_temperature_curve()<i> is a post-processing curve with points</i>: (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, but severity decreases at its fastest when it is above 50%, and at its slowest below 5.6%. 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 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, (<i>degrees_below_comfortable</i> - 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, (<i>degrees_below_comfortable</i> - 10)*0.0000645)</code>

== 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}}
{{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.

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]], reverting the human's reproductive system.
== 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.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Cirrhosis''' ||
* -60% part efficiency (liver)
* Slight [[pain]] (+15%)
* -10% [[Moving]]
|}

Treatment:
* The easiest method of treatment is the 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 resurrector mech serum can cure cirrhosis, including any DLC added healing methods.{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Needs to be verified that this is the only way to cure it. What about Luciferium for instance?}}

=== Chemical damage ===
Permanent damage that occurs as a result of drug overdose or tolerance. There are two variants.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Chemical damage (moderate)''' ||
* -50% part efficiency
* Always applied to the brain
|-
| '''Chemical damage (severe)''' ||

* Always applied to the kidneys
|}

Treatment:
* Kidney chemical damage can be cured by replacing with a non-damaged [[kidney]] or with a [[detoxifier kidney]]{{BiotechIcon}}
* Brain chemical damage can only be cured with a [[healer mech serum]]{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Needs to be verified that this is the only way to cure it.}}

==Trauma savant==
Injuries to the brain can cause increased motor function, but loss of social capabilities.
{| class="wikitable"
|-

* x0% [[Talking]] and [[Hearing]]
* Brain damage does not affect part efficiency
|}

There is a 12% chance to receive trauma savant on any physical (non-chemical) [[injury]] to the brain. Can affect animals.

Note that while it does negate the [[consciousness]] penalty from all brain damage (even from scars that didn't cause savant to appear), it does not negate the missing health, or the potential pain from the scar. To treat those problems, you must treat the brain damage itself.
*Treatable with [[healer mech serum]].

== 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 "[[Scenario system#Crashlanded|Crashlanded]]" scenario have a chance of starting with cryptosleep sickness, as they were in cryptosleep before crashing on the planet.

|}
Treatment:
* Wears off after {{ticks|10000}}

=== Food poisoning ===
Occurs after eating a contaminated meal or occasionally from raw food. The chance of contamination for cooked meals is determined by the [[Room stats#Cleanliness|cleanliness of the room]] where it was prepared and cook's [[food poison chance]] stat.

Raw food has a flat 2% chance of giving food poisoning, while [[corpse]]s have a flat 5% 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 [[Skills#Cooking|cooking skill]].

The % for food poisoning is determined when the meal is created, and is then tied to that specific meal.

; 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 minimized by using manipulating the factors in its causation mentioned above. Prevention can only be guaranteed by exclusively consuming meals purchased from traders or [[nutrient paste meal]]s as they will never cause food poisoning, or by installing a [[sterilizing stomach|sterilizing]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} or [[nuclear stomach]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} or having the [[strong stomach]] gene{{BiotechIcon}} which renders the pawn immune.

There is no treatment for food poisoning, you simply have to let it run its course.{{Check Tag|Verify|Verify that healer mech serums, and to a less extent Luci and biosculpter pods don't have any effect. Add findings to Template:Heal Option Table}} This effectively cripples the pawn for almost the full 24 hour cycle.

Because of the high chance of [[vomiting]] at any moment, putting the patient on a temporary diet of [[pemmican]] may be an useful. Vomiting interrupts the process of eating, resetting it to the start, but a colonist can more quickly consume several pieces of pemmican between "attacks" that they can eat an entire [[meal]]. This allows the poisoned pawn to more easily avoid malnutrition without feeding them [[raw food]]s that could cause further 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.

=== Toxic buildup ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=What is the effect of Toxic Environment Resistance vs Toxic Resistance}}
Primarily occurs with exposure to [[Events#Toxic fallout|toxic fallout]], [[pollution]],{{BiotechIcon}} and [[tox gas]].{{BiotechIcon}}. 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 avoiding interaction with the other sources can prevent buildup from them.

Buildup severity gained is proportional to the [[Toxic Resistance]] [[stat]] - thus, [[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}} Buildup can also be reduced through a variety of of other means including items such as the [[gas mask]] {{BiotechIcon}}, [[detoxifier kidney]] {{BiotechIcon}}, and [[detoxifier lung]] {{BiotechIcon}}, as well as [[genes]] such as [[Genes#Partial antitoxic lungs|Partial antitoxic lungs]] and [[Genes#Total antitoxic lungs|Total antitoxic lungs]], or [[Genes#Tox resistance|Tox resistance]] and [[Genes#Tox immunity|Tox immunity]].

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 0.08 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.

{{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. The process takes away .05 nutrition over 3-5 ticks{{Check Tag|Verify|I just vaguely recall this from watching it, someone please check my numbers. I also have no idea if body size changes nutrition lost}}, and causes 3-5 piles of [[Vomit]] to appear on the tile they're facing. A pawn laying in a bed will not stand up to vomit{{Check Tag|Details|Does this pause the resting bonus from laying 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.

== 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.

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

=== Resurrection sickness ===
After-effects of being resurrected by mechanite injection. Artificially-kickstarted body processes take time to rebalance themselves.

'''Probability:'''
* 2% chance when used at 0.1 days or less of decay
* 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. Hopefully this gives you enough time to find a [[healer mech serum]] to heal the ailment, find another [[resurrector mech serum]] to attempt the resurrection again once the psychosis has run its course, or build a [[cryptosleep casket]] to give you time to find either serum. There are no other ways to cure the disease.

'''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 more than 2 colonists on your colony for this to occur.

The average interval between heart attacks is curved as follows (in days):
* 0-50% of life expectancy: 99,999,999 - 99,999,999
* 50-60% of life expectancy: 99,999,999 - 2,500

|}

==== Progression ====
Heart attacks always start at 40% severity. Every {{ticks|5000}} 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 treat itself on its own, but usually the heart attack progresses to fatal severity.

==== 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 maximum chance a particular treatment can succeed is 65%.

==== 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.

'''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#Order_of_conditions_treated|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.

=== 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).

{| class="wikitable"
|-

|-
| '''Asthma (major)''' || ≥ 30% severity || -30% part efficiency
|-
| '''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 ===
Degradation in the spinal column and surrounding musculature. This makes it hard to move and bend smoothly.

Cataracts can be cured through the following methods:
* Replacing the affected eyes with a [[bionic eye|bionic]] or [[archotech eye|archotech]] eye.
* 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.

A human pawn can first get a cataract at age 49.

=== 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 tumours, 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"

* -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 only has a 70% base chance to succeed.{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Not in .xml}} Also note that if the surgery fails, there is a 25% chance that the patient [[Death|dies]]. Thus, as the maximum [[Doctoring#Success chance|success chance]] of any surgery is capped at 98%, there is always at least a 0.5% chance of death per attempt.

A human pawn can first get a carcinoma from normal aging at age 23. 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.

=== 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.

|}



=== 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 [[Genes#Bloodfeeder|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 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>Increase in heatstroke severity every 60 ticks = max(0.000375, 0.0000645×effective_temperature_curve(<i>ambient_temperature</i> - (<i>maximum_comfortable_temperature</i> + 10°C)))</code>
::<code><i>where </i>effective_temperature_curve()<i> is a post-processing curve with points</i>: (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, but severity decreases at its fastest when it is above 50%, and at its slowest below 5.6%. 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 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, (<i>degrees_below_comfortable</i> - 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.

== 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}}
{{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.

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]], reverting the human's reproductive system.
== 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.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Cirrhosis''' ||
* -60% part efficiency (liver)
* Slight [[pain]] (+15%)
* -10% [[Moving]]
|}

Treatment:
* The easiest method of treatment is the 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 resurrector mech serum can cure cirrhosis, including any DLC added healing methods.{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Needs to be verified that this is the only way to cure it. What about Luciferium for instance?}}

=== Chemical damage ===
Permanent damage that occurs as a result of drug overdose or tolerance. There are two variants.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms

| '''Chemical damage (moderate)''' ||
* -50% part efficiency

Treatment:
* Kidney chemical damage can be cured by replacing with a non-damaged [[kidney]] or with a [[detoxifier kidney]]{{BiotechIcon}}
* Brain chemical damage can only be cured with a [[healer mech serum]]{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Needs to be verified that this is the only way to cure it.}}

==Trauma savant==

{| class="wikitable"
|-

* x0% [[Talking]] and [[Hearing]]
* Brain damage does not affect part efficiency
|}

There is a 12% chance to receive trauma savant on any physical (non-chemical) [[injury]] to the brain. Can affect animals.

Note that while it does negate the [[consciousness]] penalty from all brain damage (even from scars that didn't cause savant to appear), it does not negate the missing health, or the potential pain from the scar. To treat those problems, you must treat the brain damage itself.
*Treatable with [[healer mech serum]].

== 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 "[[Scenario system#Crashlanded|Crashlanded]]" scenario have a chance of starting with cryptosleep sickness, as they were in cryptosleep before crashing on the planet.

* Impaired [[manipulation]] (×90%)
|}
Treatment:
* Wears off after {{ticks|10000}}

=== Food poisoning ===
Occurs after eating a contaminated meal or occasionally from raw food. The chance of contamination for cooked meals is determined by the [[Room stats#Cleanliness|cleanliness of the room]] where it was prepared and cook's [[food poison chance]] stat.

Raw food has a flat 2% chance of giving food poisoning, while [[corpse]]s have a flat 5% 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 [[Skills#Cooking|cooking skill]].

The % for food poisoning is determined when the meal is created, and is then tied to that specific meal.

; 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 minimized by using manipulating the factors in its causation mentioned above. Prevention can only be guaranteed by exclusively consuming meals purchased from traders or [[nutrient paste meal]]s as they will never cause food poisoning, or by installing a [[sterilizing stomach|sterilizing]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} or [[nuclear stomach]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} or having the [[strong stomach]] gene{{BiotechIcon}} which renders the pawn immune.

There is no treatment for food poisoning, you simply have to let it run its course.{{Check Tag|Verify|Verify that healer mech serums, and to a less extent Luci and biosculpter pods don't have any effect. Add findings to Template:Heal Option Table}} This effectively cripples the pawn for almost the full 24 hour cycle.

Because of the high chance of vomiting at any moment, putting the patient on a temporary diet of [[pemmican]] may be an useful. Vomiting interrupts the process of eating, resetting it to the start, but a colonist can more quickly consume several pieces of pemmican between "attacks" that they can eat an entire [[meal]]. This allows the poisoned pawn to more easily avoid malnutrition without feeding them [[raw food]]s that could cause further 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.

=== Toxic buildup ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=What is the effect of Toxic Environment Resistance vs Toxic Resistance}}
Primarily occurs with exposure to [[Events#Toxic fallout|toxic fallout]], [[pollution]],{{BiotechIcon}} and [[tox gas]].{{BiotechIcon}}. 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 avoiding interaction with the other sources can prevent buildup from them.

Buildup severity gained is proportional to the [[Toxic Resistance]] [[stat]] - thus, [[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}} Buildup can also be reduced through a variety of of other means including items such as the [[gas mask]] {{BiotechIcon}}, [[detoxifier kidney]] {{BiotechIcon}}, and [[detoxifier lung]] {{BiotechIcon}}, as well as [[genes]] such as [[Genes#Partial antitoxic lungs|Partial antitoxic lungs]] and [[Genes#Total antitoxic lungs|Total antitoxic lungs]], or [[Genes#Tox resistance|Tox resistance]] and [[Genes#Tox immunity|Tox immunity]].

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 0.08 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.

{{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?}}, as well as 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. The process takes away .05 nutrition over 3-5 ticks{{Check Tag|Verify|I just vaguely recall this from watching it, someone please check my numbers. I also have no idea if body size changes nutrition lost}}, and causes 3-5 piles of [[Vomit]] to appear on the tile they're facing. A pawn laying in a bed will not stand up to vomit{{Check Tag|Details|Does this pause the resting bonus from laying 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.

== 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.

==== Version history ====
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.

=== Resurrection sickness ===
After-effects of being resurrected by mechanite injection. Artificially-kickstarted body processes take time to rebalance themselves.

'''Probability:'''
* 100% chance of being applied

=== Blindness ===
Mechanites fail to properly repair the eyes, instead causing more damage to it, resulting in blindness.

Blindness from [[resurrector mech serum]] applies to both eyes, resulting in total blindness

{| class="wikitable"

'''Probability:'''
* 2% chance when used at 0.1 days or less of decay
* 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. Hopefully this gives you enough time to find a [[healer mech serum]] to heal the ailment, find another [[resurrector mech serum]] to attempt the resurrection again once the psychosis has run its course, or build a [[cryptosleep casket]] to give you time to find either serum. There are no other ways to cure the disease.

'''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 more than 2 colonists on your colony for this to occur.

The average interval between heart attacks is curved as follows (in days):
* 0-50% of life expectancy: 99,999,999 - 99,999,999
* 50-60% of life expectancy: 99,999,999 - 2,500
* 60-100% of life expectancy: 2,500 - 300

Examples of intervals and chances:
* 55% of life expectancy (i.e. 44 in humans): 50,001,249.5 days (approx. 0.00000002% per day)
* 80% of life expectancy (i.e. 64 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% (Unconciousness)
* [[Pain]] +60%
|-
|'''Fatal''' || 100% Severity ||
* [[Death]]
|}

==== Progression ====
Heart attacks always start at 40% severity. Every {{ticks|5000}} 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 treat itself on its own, but usually the heart attack progresses to fatal severity.

==== 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 maximum chance a particular treatment can succeed is 65%.

==== 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.

'''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]].

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#Order_of_conditions_treated|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.

=== 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).

{| class="wikitable"

|-
| '''Asthma (major)''' || ≥ 30% severity || -30% part efficiency
|-
| '''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 ===

* 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.

A human pawn can first get a cataract at age 49.

=== 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 tumours, 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 only has a 70% base chance to succeed.{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Not in .xml}} Also note that if the surgery fails, there is a 25% chance that the patient [[Death|dies]]. Thus, as the maximum [[Doctoring#Success chance|success chance]] of any surgery is capped at 98%, there is always at least a 0.5% chance of death per attempt.

A human pawn can first get a carcinoma from normal aging at age 23. 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.

=== 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.

|}



=== 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 [[Genes#Bloodfeeder|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 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>Increase in heatstroke severity every 60 ticks = max(0.000375, 0.0000645×effective_temperature_curve(<i>ambient_temperature</i> - (<i>maximum_comfortable_temperature</i> + 10°C)))</code>
::<code><i>where </i>effective_temperature_curve()<i> is a post-processing curve with points</i>: (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, but severity decreases at its fastest when it is above 50%, and at its slowest below 5.6%. 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 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, (<i>degrees_below_comfortable</i> - 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.

== 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}}
{{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.

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]], reverting the human's reproductive system.
== 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.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Cirrhosis''' ||
* -60% part efficiency (liver)
* Slight [[pain]] (+15%)
* -10% [[Moving]]
|}

Treatment:
* The easiest method of treatment is the 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 resurrector mech serum can cure cirrhosis, including any DLC added healing methods.{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Needs to be verified that this is the only way to cure it. What about Luciferium for instance?}}

=== Chemical damage ===
Permanent damage that occurs as a result of drug overdose or tolerance. There are two variants.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms

| '''Chemical damage (moderate)''' ||
* -50% part efficiency

|-
| '''Chemical damage (severe)''' ||
* -80% part efficiency
* Always applied to the kidneys
|}

Treatment:
* Kidney chemical damage can be cured by replacing with a non-damaged [[kidney]] or with a [[detoxifier kidney]]{{BiotechIcon}}
* Brain chemical damage can only be cured with a [[healer mech serum]]{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Needs to be verified that this is the only way to cure it.}}

==Trauma savant==
Injuries to the brain can cause increased motor function, but loss of social capabilities.
{| class="wikitable"
|-

* x0% [[Talking]] and [[Hearing]]
* Brain damage does not affect part efficiency
|}

There is a 12% chance to receive trauma savant on any physical (non-chemical) [[injury]] to the brain. Can affect animals.

Note that while it does negate the [[consciousness]] penalty from all brain damage (even from scars that didn't cause savant to appear), it does not negate the missing health, or the potential pain from the scar. To treat those problems, you must treat the brain damage itself.
*Treatable with [[healer mech serum]].

== 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 "[[Scenario system#Crashlanded|Crashlanded]]" scenario have a chance of starting with cryptosleep sickness, as they were in cryptosleep before crashing on the planet.

=== Food poisoning ===
Occurs after eating a contaminated meal or occasionally from raw food. The chance of contamination for cooked meals is determined by the [[Room stats#Cleanliness|cleanliness of the room]] where it was prepared and cook's [[food poison chance]] stat.

Raw food has a flat 2% chance of giving food poisoning, while [[corpse]]s have a flat 5% 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 [[Skills#Cooking|cooking skill]].

The % for food poisoning is determined when the meal is created, and is then tied to that specific meal.

; 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 minimized by using manipulating the factors in its causation mentioned above. Prevention can only be guaranteed by exclusively consuming meals purchased from traders or [[nutrient paste meal]]s as they will never cause food poisoning, or by installing a [[sterilizing stomach|sterilizing]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} or [[nuclear stomach]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} or having the [[strong stomach]] gene{{BiotechIcon}} which renders the pawn immune.

There is no treatment for food poisoning, you simply have to let it run its course.{{Check Tag|Verify|Verify that healer mech serums, and to a less extent Luci and biosculpter pods don't have any effect. Add findings to Template:Heal Option Table}} This effectively cripples the pawn for almost the full 24 hour cycle.

Because of the high chance of vomiting at any moment, putting the patient on a temporary diet of [[pemmican]] may be an useful. Vomiting interrupts the process of eating, resetting it to the start, but a colonist can more quickly consume several pieces of pemmican between "attacks" that they can eat an entire [[meal]]. This allows the poisoned pawn to more easily avoid malnutrition without feeding them [[raw food]]s that could cause further 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.

=== Toxic buildup ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=What is the effect of Toxic Environment Resistance vs Toxic Resistance}}
Primarily occurs with exposure to [[Events#Toxic fallout|toxic fallout]], [[pollution]],{{BiotechIcon}} and [[tox gas]].{{BiotechIcon}}. 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 avoiding interaction with the other sources can prevent buildup from them.

Buildup severity gained is proportional to the [[Toxic Resistance]] [[stat]] - thus, [[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}} Buildup can also be reduced through a variety of of other means including items such as the [[gas mask]] {{BiotechIcon}}, [[detoxifier kidney]] {{BiotechIcon}}, and [[detoxifier lung]] {{BiotechIcon}}, as well as [[genes]] such as [[Genes#Partial antitoxic lungs|Partial antitoxic lungs]] and [[Genes#Total antitoxic lungs|Total antitoxic lungs]], or [[Genes#Tox resistance|Tox resistance]] and [[Genes#Tox immunity|Tox immunity]].

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 0.08 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.

{{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?}}, as well as 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. The process takes away .05 nutrition over 3-5 ticks{{Check Tag|Verify|I just vaguely recall this from watching it, someone please check my numbers. I also have no idea if body size changes nutrition lost}}, and causes 3-5 piles of [[Vomit]] to appear on the tile they're facing. A pawn laying in a bed will not stand up to vomit{{Check Tag|Details|Does this pause the "resting" bonus from laying 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.

== 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.

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

=== Resurrection sickness ===

'''Probability:'''
* 100% chance of being applied

=== Blindness ===
Mechanites fail to properly repair the eyes, instead causing more damage to it, resulting in blindness.

Blindness from [[resurrector mech serum]] applies to both eyes, resulting in total blindness

'''Probability:'''
* 2% chance when used at 0.1 days or less of decay
* 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. Hopefully this gives you enough time to find a [[healer mech serum]] to heal the ailment, find another [[resurrector mech serum]] to attempt the resurrection again once the psychosis has run its course, or build a [[cryptosleep casket]] to give you time to find either serum. There are no other ways to cure the disease.

'''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 more than 2 colonists on your colony for this to occur.

The average interval between heart attacks is curved as follows (in days):
* 0-50% of life expectancy: 99,999,999 - 99,999,999
* 50-60% of life expectancy: 99,999,999 - 2,500
* 60-100% of life expectancy: 2,500 - 300

Examples of intervals and chances:
* 55% of life expectancy (i.e. 44 in humans): 50,001,249.5 days (approx. 0.00000002% per day)
* 80% of life expectancy (i.e. 64 in humans): 1,400 days (approx. 0.000714% per day)

=== Stages ===
{| class="wikitable"
|-

* [[Consciousness]] max. 10% (Unconciousness)
* [[Pain]] +60%
|-
|'''Fatal''' || 100% Severity ||
* [[Death]]
|}

==== Progression ====
Heart attacks always start at 40% severity. Every {{ticks|5000}} 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 treat itself on its own, but usually the heart attack progresses to fatal severity.

==== 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 maximum chance a particular treatment can succeed is 65%.

==== 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.

'''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#Order_of_conditions_treated|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.

=== 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).

|}

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.

* 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 tumours, 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

|}

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 only has a 70% base chance to succeed.{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Not in .xml}} Also note that if the surgery fails, there is a 25% chance that the patient [[Death|dies]]. Thus, as the maximum [[Doctoring#Success chance|success chance]] of any surgery is capped at 98%, there is always at least a 0.5% chance of death per attempt.

A human pawn can first get a carcinoma from normal aging at age 23. 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.

=== 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.

=== 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 [[Genes#Bloodfeeder|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 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>Increase in heatstroke severity every 60 ticks = max(0.000375, 0.0000645×effective_temperature_curve(<i>ambient_temperature</i> - (<i>maximum_comfortable_temperature</i> + 10°C)))</code>
::<code><i>where </i>effective_temperature_curve()<i> is a post-processing curve with points</i>: (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, but severity decreases at its fastest when it is above 50%, and at its slowest below 5.6%. 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 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, (<i>degrees_below_comfortable</i> - 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.

== 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}}
{{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.

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]], reverting the human's reproductive system.
== 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.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Cirrhosis''' ||
* -60% part efficiency (liver)
* Slight [[pain]] (+15%)
* -10% [[Moving]]
|}

Treatment:
* The easiest method of treatment is the 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 resurrector mech serum can cure cirrhosis, including any DLC added healing methods.{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Needs to be verified that this is the only way to cure it. What about Luciferium for instance?}}

=== Chemical damage ===
Permanent damage that occurs as a result of drug overdose or tolerance. There are two variants.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms

| '''Chemical damage (moderate)''' ||
* -50% part efficiency

|-
| '''Chemical damage (severe)''' ||
* -80% part efficiency
* Always applied to the kidneys
|}

Treatment:
* Kidney chemical damage can be cured by replacing with a non-damaged [[kidney]] or with a [[detoxifier kidney]]{{BiotechIcon}}
* Brain chemical damage can only be cured with a [[healer mech serum]]{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Needs to be verified that this is the only way to cure it.}}

==Trauma savant==
Injuries to the brain can cause increased motor function, but loss of social capabilities.
{| class="wikitable"
|-

* x0% [[Talking]] and [[Hearing]]
* Brain damage does not affect part efficiency
|}

There is a 12% chance to receive trauma savant on any physical (non-chemical) [[injury]] to the brain. Can affect animals.

Note that while it does negate the [[consciousness]] penalty from all brain damage (even from scars that didn't cause savant to appear), it does not negate the missing health, or the potential pain from the scar. To treat those problems, you must treat the brain damage itself.
*Treatable with [[healer mech serum]].

== 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 "[[Scenario system#Crashlanded|Crashlanded]]" scenario have a chance of starting with cryptosleep sickness, as they were in cryptosleep before crashing on the planet.

=== Food poisoning ===
Occurs after eating a contaminated meal or occasionally from raw food. The chance of contamination for cooked meals is determined by the [[Room stats#Cleanliness|cleanliness of the room]] where it was prepared and cook's [[food poison chance]] stat.

Raw food has a flat 2% chance of giving food poisoning, while [[corpse]]s have a flat 5% 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 [[Skills#Cooking|cooking skill]].

The % for food poisoning is determined when the meal is created, and is then tied to that specific meal.

; 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 minimized by using manipulating the factors in its causation mentioned above. Prevention can only be guaranteed by exclusively consuming meals purchased from traders or [[nutrient paste meal]]s as they will never cause food poisoning, or by installing a [[sterilizing stomach|sterilizing]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} or [[nuclear stomach]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} or having the [[strong stomach]] gene{{BiotechIcon}} which renders the pawn immune.

There is no treatment for food poisoning, you simply have to let it run its course.{{Check Tag|Verify|Verify that healer mech serums, and to a less extent Luci and biosculpter pods don't have any effect. Add findings to Template:Heal Option Table}} This effectively cripples the pawn for almost the full 24 hour cycle.

Because of the high chance of vomiting at any moment, putting the patient on a temporary diet of [[pemmican]] may be an useful. Vomiting interrupts the process of eating, resetting it to the start, but a colonist can more quickly consume several pieces of pemmican between "attacks" that they can eat an entire [[meal]]. This allows the poisoned pawn to more easily avoid malnutrition without feeding them [[raw food]]s that could cause further 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.

=== Toxic buildup ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=What is the effect of Toxic Environment Resistance vs Toxic Resistance}}
Primarily occurs with exposure to [[Events#Toxic fallout|toxic fallout]], [[pollution]],{{BiotechIcon}} and [[tox gas]].{{BiotechIcon}}. 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 avoiding interaction with the other sources can prevent buildup from them.

Buildup severity gained is proportional to the [[Toxic Resistance]] [[stat]] - thus, [[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}} Buildup can also be reduced through a variety of of other means including items such as the [[gas mask]] {{BiotechIcon}}, [[detoxifier kidney]] {{BiotechIcon}}, and [[detoxifier lung]] {{BiotechIcon}}, as well as [[genes]] such as [[Genes#Partial antitoxic lungs|Partial antitoxic lungs]] and [[Genes#Total antitoxic lungs|Total antitoxic lungs]], or [[Genes#Tox resistance|Tox resistance]] and [[Genes#Tox immunity|Tox immunity]].

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 0.08 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.

=== Brain shock ===
{{quote|"After-effects of an electrical shock to the brain. This is generally cause by feedback from brain implants hit by EMP pulses." - '''In-game description'''}}
Occurs when an [[EMP]] effect hits a pawn with the following brain implants:
* [[Learning assistant]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}
* [[Neurocalculator]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}
* [[Circadian assistant]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}
* [[Circadian half-cycler]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}

{{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 ===
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?}}, as well as 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. The process takes away .05 nutrition over 3-5 ticks{{Check Tag|Verify|I just vaguely recall this from watching it, someone please check my numbers. I also have no idea if body size changes nutrition lost}}, and causes 3-5 piles of [[Vomit]] to appear on the tile they're facing. A pawn laying in a bed will not stand up to vomit.

== 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.

** Surgery is unaffected even if it wears off before finished

==== Version history ====
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.

=== Resurrection sickness ===
After-effects of being resurrected by mechanite injection. Artificially-kickstarted body processes take time to rebalance themselves.

'''Probability:'''
* 100% chance of being applied

=== Blindness ===
Mechanites fail to properly repair the eyes, instead causing more damage to it, resulting in blindness.

Blindness from [[resurrector mech serum]] applies to both eyes, resulting in total blindness

'''Probability:'''
* 2% chance when used at 0.1 days or less of decay
* 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|death]].

The severity of the psychosis increases by 0.01 per day, meaning that it will kill in 100 days (90 days after becoming visible). Hopefully this gives you enough time to find a [[healer mech serum]] or another [[resurrector mech serum]] to heal the disease, or build a [[Cryptosleep casket]] to give you time to find one, as there is no other way to cure the disease.

|}

'''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.

== 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 more than 2 colonists on your colony for this to occur.

The average interval between heart attacks is curved as follows (in days):
* 0-50% of life expectancy: 99,999,999 - 99,999,999
* 50-60% of life expectancy: 99,999,999 - 2,500
* 60-100% of life expectancy: 2,500 - 300

Examples of intervals and chances:
* 55% of life expectancy (i.e. 44 in humans): 50,001,249.5 days (approx. 0.00000002% per day)
* 80% of life expectancy (i.e. 64 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% (Unconciousness)
* [[Pain]] +60%
|-
|'''Fatal''' || 100% Severity ||
* [[Death]]
|}

==== Progression ====
Heart attacks always start at 40% severity. Every {{ticks|5000}} 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 treat itself on its own, but usually the heart attack progresses to fatal severity.

==== 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 maximum chance a particular treatment can succeed is 65%.

==== 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.

'''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#Order_of_conditions_treated|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.

=== 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).

{| class="wikitable"

| '''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.

* 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.

=== 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 tumours, 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

|}

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 only has a 70% base chance to succeed.{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Not in .xml}} Also note that if the surgery fails, there is a 25% chance that the patient [[Death|dies]]. Thus, as the maximum [[Doctoring#Success chance|success chance]] of any surgery is capped at 98%, there is always at least a 0.5% chance of death per attempt.

A human pawn can first get a carcinoma from normal aging at age 23. 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.

=== 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.

=== 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 [[Genes#Bloodfeeder|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 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>Increase in heatstroke severity every 60 ticks = max(0.000375, 0.0000645×effective_temperature_curve(<i>ambient_temperature</i> - (<i>maximum_comfortable_temperature</i> + 10°C)))</code>
::<code><i>where </i>effective_temperature_curve()<i> is a post-processing curve with points</i>: (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, but severity decreases at its fastest when it is above 50%, and at its slowest below 5.6%. 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 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, (<i>degrees_below_comfortable</i> - 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.

== 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}}
{{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.

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]], reverting the human's reproductive system.
== 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.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Cirrhosis''' ||
* -60% part efficiency (liver)
* Slight [[pain]] (+15%)
* -10% [[Moving]]
|}

Treatment:
* The easiest method of treatment is the 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 resurrector mech serum can cure cirrhosis, including any DLC added healing methods.{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Needs to be verified that this is the only way to cure it. What about Luciferium for instance?}}

=== Chemical damage ===
Permanent damage that occurs as a result of drug overdose or tolerance. There are two variants.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms

| '''Chemical damage (moderate)''' ||
* -50% part efficiency

|-
| '''Chemical damage (severe)''' ||
* -80% part efficiency
* Always applied to the kidneys
|}

Treatment:
* Kidney chemical damage can be cured by replacing with a non-damaged [[kidney]] or with a [[detoxifier kidney]]{{BiotechIcon}}
* Brain chemical damage can only be cured with a [[healer mech serum]]{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Needs to be verified that this is the only way to cure it.}}

==Trauma savant==
Injuries to the brain can cause increased motor function, but loss of social capabilities.
{| class="wikitable"
|-

* x0% [[Talking]] and [[Hearing]]
* Brain damage does not affect part efficiency
|}

There is a 12% chance to receive trauma savant on any physical (non-chemical) [[injury]] to the brain. Can affect animals.

Note that while it does negate the [[consciousness]] penalty from all brain damage (even from scars that didn't cause savant to appear), it does not negate the missing health, or the potential pain from the scar. To treat those problems, you must treat the brain damage itself.
*Treatable with [[healer mech serum]].

== 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 "[[Scenario system#Crashlanded|Crashlanded]]" scenario have a chance of starting with cryptosleep sickness, as they were in cryptosleep before crashing on the planet.

=== Food poisoning ===
Occurs after eating a contaminated meal or occasionally from raw food. The chance of contamination for cooked meals is determined by the [[Room stats#Cleanliness|cleanliness of the room]] where it was prepared and cook's [[food poison chance]] stat.

Raw food has a flat 2% chance of giving food poisoning, while [[corpse]]s have a flat 5% 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 [[Skills#Cooking|cooking skill]].

The % for food poisoning is determined when the meal is created, and is then tied to that specific meal.

; 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 minimized by using manipulating the factors in its causation mentioned above. Prevention can only be guaranteed by exclusively consuming meals purchased from traders or [[nutrient paste meal]]s as they will never cause food poisoning, or by installing a [[sterilizing stomach|sterilizing]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} or [[nuclear stomach]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} or having the [[strong stomach]] gene{{BiotechIcon}} which renders the pawn immune.

There is no treatment for food poisoning, you simply have to let it run its course.{{Check Tag|Verify|Verify that healer mech serums, and to a less extent Luci and biosculpter pods don't have any effect. Add findings to Template:Heal Option Table}} This effectively cripples the pawn for almost the full 24 hour cycle.

Because of the high chance of vomiting at any moment, putting the patient on a temporary diet of [[pemmican]] may be an useful. Vomiting interrupts the process of eating, resetting it to the start, but a colonist can more quickly consume several pieces of pemmican between "attacks" that they can eat an entire [[meal]]. This allows the poisoned pawn to more easily avoid malnutrition without feeding them [[raw food]]s that could cause further 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.

=== Toxic buildup ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=What is the effect of Toxic Environment Resistance vs Toxic Resistance}}
Primarily occurs with exposure to [[Events#Toxic fallout|toxic fallout]], [[pollution]],{{BiotechIcon}} and [[tox gas]].{{BiotechIcon}}. 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 avoiding interaction with the other sources can prevent buildup from them.

Buildup severity gained is proportional to the [[Toxic Resistance]] [[stat]] - thus, [[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}} Buildup can also be reduced through a variety of of other means including items such as the [[gas mask]] {{BiotechIcon}}, [[detoxifier kidney]] {{BiotechIcon}}, and [[detoxifier lung]] {{BiotechIcon}}, as well as [[genes]] such as [[Genes#Partial antitoxic lungs|Partial antitoxic lungs]] and [[Genes#Total antitoxic lungs|Total antitoxic lungs]], or [[Genes#Tox resistance|Tox resistance]] and [[Genes#Tox immunity|Tox immunity]].

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 0.08 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.

{{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%}}

== 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.

==== Version history ====
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.

=== Resurrection sickness ===
After-effects of being resurrected by mechanite injection. Artificially-kickstarted body processes take time to rebalance themselves.

'''Probability:'''
* 100% chance of being applied

=== Blindness ===
Mechanites fail to properly repair the eyes, instead causing more damage to it, resulting in blindness.

Blindness from [[resurrector mech serum]] applies to both eyes, resulting in total blindness

'''Probability:'''
* 2% chance when used at 0.1 days or less of decay
* 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|death]].

The severity of the psychosis increases by 0.01 per day, meaning that it will kill in 100 days (90 days after becoming visible). Hopefully this gives you enough time to find a [[healer mech serum]] or another [[resurrector mech serum]] to heal the disease, or build a [[Cryptosleep casket]] to give you time to find one, as there is no other way to cure the disease.

|}

'''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.

== 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 more than 2 colonists on your colony for this to occur.

The average interval between heart attacks is curved as follows (in days):
* 0-50% of life expectancy: 99,999,999 - 99,999,999
* 50-60% of life expectancy: 99,999,999 - 2,500
* 60-100% of life expectancy: 2,500 - 300

Examples of intervals and chances:
* 55% of life expectancy (i.e. 44 in humans): 50,001,249.5 days (approx. 0.00000002% per day)
* 80% of life expectancy (i.e. 64 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% (Unconciousness)
* [[Pain]] +60%
|-
|'''Fatal''' || 100% Severity ||
* [[Death]]
|}

==== Progression ====
Heart attacks always start at 40% severity. Every {{ticks|5000}} 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 treat itself on its own, but usually the heart attack progresses to fatal severity.

==== 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 maximum chance a particular treatment can succeed is 65%.

==== 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.

'''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]].

== 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#Order_of_conditions_treated|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.

=== 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).

{| class="wikitable"

| '''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.

=== 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 tumours, 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

|}

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 only has a 70% base chance to succeed.{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Not in .xml}} Also note that if the surgery fails, there is a 25% chance that the patient [[Death|dies]]. Thus, as the maximum [[Doctoring#Success chance|success chance]] of any surgery is capped at 98%, there is always at least a 0.5% chance of death per attempt.

A human pawn can first get a carcinoma from normal aging at age 23. 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.

=== 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.

=== 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 [[Genes#Bloodfeeder|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 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>Increase in heatstroke severity every 60 ticks = max(0.000375, 0.0000645×effective_temperature_curve(<i>ambient_temperature</i> - (<i>maximum_comfortable_temperature</i> + 10°C)))</code>
::<code><i>where </i>effective_temperature_curve()<i> is a post-processing curve with points</i>: (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, but severity decreases at its fastest when it is above 50%, and at its slowest below 5.6%. 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 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, (<i>degrees_below_comfortable</i> - 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.

== 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}}
{{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.

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]], reverting the human's reproductive system.
== 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.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Cirrhosis''' ||
* -60% part efficiency (liver)
* Slight [[pain]] (+15%)
* -10% [[Moving]]
|}

Treatment:
* The easiest method of treatment is the 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 resurrector mech serum can cure cirrhosis, including any DLC added healing methods.{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Needs to be verified that this is the only way to cure it. What about Luciferium for instance?}}

=== Chemical damage ===
Permanent damage that occurs as a result of drug overdose or tolerance. There are two variants.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms

| '''Chemical damage (moderate)''' ||
* -50% part efficiency

|-
| '''Chemical damage (severe)''' ||
* -80% part efficiency
* Always applied to the kidneys
|}

Treatment:
* Kidney chemical damage can be cured by replacing with a non-damaged [[kidney]] or with a [[detoxifier kidney]]{{BiotechIcon}}
* Brain chemical damage can only be cured with a [[healer mech serum]]{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Needs to be verified that this is the only way to cure it.}}

==Trauma savant==
Injuries to the brain can cause increased motor function, but loss of social capabilities.
{| class="wikitable"
|-

* x0% [[Talking]] and [[Hearing]]
* Brain damage does not affect part efficiency
|}

There is a 12% chance to receive trauma savant on any physical (non-chemical) [[injury]] to the brain. Can affect animals.

Note that while it does negate the [[consciousness]] penalty from all brain damage (even from scars that didn't cause savant to appear), it does not negate the missing health, or the potential pain from the scar. To treat those problems, you must treat the brain damage itself.
*Treatable with [[healer mech serum]].

== 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 "[[Scenario system#Crashlanded|Crashlanded]]" scenario have a chance of starting with cryptosleep sickness, as they were in cryptosleep before crashing on the planet.

=== Food poisoning ===
Occurs after eating a contaminated meal or occasionally from raw food. The chance of contamination for cooked meals is determined by the [[Room stats#Cleanliness|cleanliness of the room]] where it was prepared and cook's [[food poison chance]] stat.

Raw food has a flat 2% chance of giving food poisoning, while [[corpse]]s have a flat 5% 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 [[Skills#Cooking|cooking skill]].

The % for food poisoning is determined when the meal is created, and is then tied to that specific meal.

; 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 minimized by using manipulating the factors in its causation mentioned above. Prevention can only be guaranteed by exclusively consuming meals purchased from traders or [[nutrient paste meal]]s as they will never cause food poisoning, or by installing a [[sterilizing stomach|sterilizing]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} or [[nuclear stomach]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} or having the [[strong stomach]] gene{{BiotechIcon}} which renders the pawn immune.

There is no treatment for food poisoning, you simply have to let it run its course.{{Check Tag|Verify|Verify that healer mech serums, and to a less extent Luci and biosculpter pods don't have any effect. Add findings to Template:Heal Option Table}} This effectively cripples the pawn for almost the full 24 hour cycle.

Because of the high chance of vomiting at any moment, putting the patient on a temporary diet of [[pemmican]] may be an useful. Vomiting interrupts the process of eating, resetting it to the start, but a colonist can more quickly consume several pieces of pemmican between "attacks" that they can eat an entire [[meal]]. This allows the poisoned pawn to more easily avoid malnutrition without feeding them [[raw food]]s that could cause further 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.

=== Toxic buildup ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=What is the effect of Toxic Environment Resistance vs Toxic Resistance}}
Primarily occurs with exposure to [[Events#Toxic fallout|toxic fallout]], [[pollution]],{{BiotechIcon}} and [[tox gas]].{{BiotechIcon}}. 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 avoiding interaction with the other sources can prevent buildup from them.

Buildup severity gained is proportional to the [[Toxic Resistance]] [[stat]] - thus, [[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}} Buildup can also be reduced through a variety of of other means including items such as the [[gas mask]] {{BiotechIcon}}, [[detoxifier kidney]] {{BiotechIcon}}, and [[detoxifier lung]] {{BiotechIcon}}, as well as [[genes]] such as [[Genes#Partial antitoxic lungs|Partial antitoxic lungs]] and [[Genes#Total antitoxic lungs|Total antitoxic lungs]], or [[Genes#Tox resistance|Tox resistance]] and [[Genes#Tox immunity|Tox immunity]].

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 0.08 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.

{{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%}}

== 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.

==== Version history ====
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.

=== Resurrection sickness ===
After-effects of being resurrected by mechanite injection. Artificially-kickstarted body processes take time to rebalance themselves.

{| class="wikitable"

'''Treatment:'''
* Wears off anywhere from {{ticks|90000}} to {{ticks|150000}}

'''Probability:'''
* 100% chance of being applied

=== Blindness ===
Mechanites fail to properly repair the eyes, instead causing more damage to it, resulting in blindness.

Blindness from [[resurrector mech serum]] applies to both eyes, resulting in total blindness

{| class="wikitable"

* Replace eyes with [[bionic eye]]s or [[archotech eye]]s

'''Probability:'''
* 2% chance when used at 0.1 days or less of decay
* 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|death]].

The severity of the psychosis increases by 0.01 per day, meaning that it will kill in 100 days (90 days after becoming visible). Hopefully this gives you enough time to find a [[healer mech serum]] or another [[resurrection mech serum]] to heal the disease, or build a [[Cryptosleep casket]] to give you time to find one, as there is no other way to cure the disease.

|}

'''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.

== 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 more than 2 colonists on your colony for this to occur.

The average interval between heart attacks is curved as follows (in days):
* 0-50% of life expectancy: 99,999,999 - 99,999,999
* 50-60% of life expectancy: 99,999,999 - 2,500
* 60-100% of life expectancy: 2,500 - 300

Examples of intervals and chances:
* 55% of life expectancy (i.e. 44 in humans): 50,001,249.5 days (approx. 0.00000002% per day)
* 80% of life expectancy (i.e. 64 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% (Unconciousness)
* [[Pain]] +60%
|-
|'''Fatal''' || 100% Severity ||
* [[Death]]
|}

==== Progression ====
Heart attacks always start at 40% severity. Every {{ticks|5000}} 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 treat itself on its own, but usually the heart attack progresses to fatal severity.

==== 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 maximum chance a particular treatment can succeed is 65%.

==== 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.

'''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]].

== 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#Order_of_conditions_treated|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.

=== 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).

{| class="wikitable"

|-
| '''Asthma (major)''' || ≥ 30% severity || -30% part efficiency
|-
| '''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.

=== 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 tumours, 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

|}

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 only has a 70% base chance to succeed.{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Not in .xml}} Also note that if the surgery fails, there is a 25% chance that the patient [[Death|dies]]. Thus, as the maximum [[Doctoring#Success chance|success chance]] of any surgery is capped at 98%, there is always at least a 0.5% chance of death per attempt.

A human pawn can first get a carcinoma from normal aging at age 23. 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.

=== 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.

=== 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 [[Genes#Bloodfeeder|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 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>Increase in heatstroke severity every 60 ticks = max(0.000375, 0.0000645×effective_temperature_curve(<i>ambient_temperature</i> - (<i>maximum_comfortable_temperature</i> + 10°C)))</code>
::<code><i>where </i>effective_temperature_curve()<i> is a post-processing curve with points</i>: (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, but severity decreases at its fastest when it is above 50%, and at its slowest below 5.6%. 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 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, (<i>degrees_below_comfortable</i> - 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.

== 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}}
{{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.

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]], reverting the human's reproductive system.
== 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.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Cirrhosis''' ||
* -60% part efficiency (liver)
* Slight [[pain]] (+15%)
* -10% [[Moving]]
|}

Treatment:
* The easiest method of treatment is the 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 resurrector mech serum can cure cirrhosis, including any DLC added healing methods.{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Needs to be verified that this is the only way to cure it. What about Luciferium for instance?}}

=== Chemical damage ===
Permanent damage that occurs as a result of drug overdose or tolerance. There are two variants.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms

| '''Chemical damage (moderate)''' ||
* -50% part efficiency

|-
| '''Chemical damage (severe)''' ||
* -80% part efficiency
* Always applied to the kidneys
|}

Treatment:
* Kidney chemical damage can be cured by replacing with a non-damaged [[kidney]] or with a [[detoxifier kidney]]{{BiotechIcon}}
* Brain chemical damage can only be cured with a [[healer mech serum]]{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Needs to be verified that this is the only way to cure it.}}

==Trauma savant==
Injuries to the brain can cause increased motor function, but loss of social capabilities.
{| class="wikitable"
|-

* x0% [[Talking]] and [[Hearing]]
* Brain damage does not affect part efficiency
|}

There is a 12% chance to receive trauma savant on any physical (non-chemical) [[injury]] to the brain. Can affect animals.

Note that while it does negate the [[consciousness]] penalty from all brain damage (even from scars that didn't cause savant to appear), it does not negate the missing health, or the potential pain from the scar. To treat those problems, you must treat the brain damage itself.
*Treatable with [[healer mech serum]].

== 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 "[[Scenario system#Crashlanded|Crashlanded]]" scenario have a chance of starting with cryptosleep sickness, as they were in cryptosleep before crashing on the planet.

=== Food poisoning ===
Occurs after eating a contaminated meal or occasionally from raw food. The chance of contamination for cooked meals is determined by the [[Room stats#Cleanliness|cleanliness of the room]] where it was prepared and cook's [[food poison chance]] stat.

Raw food has a flat 2% chance of giving food poisoning, while [[corpse]]s have a flat 5% 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 [[Skills#Cooking|cooking skill]].

The % for food poisoning is determined when the meal is created, and is then tied to that specific meal.

; 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 minimized by using manipulating the factors in its causation mentioned above. Prevention can only be guaranteed by exclusively consuming meals purchased from traders or [[nutrient paste meal]]s as they will never cause food poisoning, or by installing a [[sterilizing stomach|sterilizing]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} or [[nuclear stomach]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} or having the [[strong stomach]] gene{{BiotechIcon}} which renders the pawn immune.

There is no treatment for food poisoning, you simply have to let it run its course.{{Check Tag|Verify|Verify that healer mech serums, and to a less extent Luci and biosculpter pods don't have any effect. Add findings to Template:Heal Option Table}} This effectively cripples the pawn for almost the full 24 hour cycle.

Because of the high chance of vomiting at any moment, putting the patient on a temporary diet of [[pemmican]] may be an useful. Vomiting interrupts the process of eating, resetting it to the start, but a colonist can more quickly consume several pieces of pemmican between "attacks" that they can eat an entire [[meal]]. This allows the poisoned pawn to more easily avoid malnutrition without feeding them [[raw food]]s that could cause further 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.

=== Toxic buildup ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=What is the effect of Toxic Environment Resistance vs Toxic Resistance}}
Primarily occurs with exposure to [[Events#Toxic fallout|toxic fallout]], [[pollution]],{{BiotechIcon}} and [[tox gas]].{{BiotechIcon}}. 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 avoiding interaction with the other sources can prevent buildup from them.

Buildup severity gained is proportional to the [[Toxic Resistance]] [[stat]] - thus, [[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}} Buildup can also be reduced through a variety of of other means including items such as the [[gas mask]] {{BiotechIcon}}, [[detoxifier kidney]] {{BiotechIcon}}, and [[detoxifier lung]] {{BiotechIcon}}, as well as [[genes]] such as [[Genes#Partial antitoxic lungs|Partial antitoxic lungs]] and [[Genes#Total antitoxic lungs|Total antitoxic lungs]], or [[Genes#Tox resistance|Tox resistance]] and [[Genes#Tox immunity|Tox immunity]].

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 0.08 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.

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%}}

== 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.

==== Version history ====
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.

=== Resurrection sickness ===
After-effects of being resurrected by mechanite injection. Artificially-kickstarted body processes take time to rebalance themselves.

{| class="wikitable"

|}

'''Treatment:'''
* Wears off anywhere from {{ticks|90000}} to {{ticks|150000}}

'''Probability:'''
* 100% chance of being applied

=== Blindness ===
Mechanites fail to properly repair the eyes, instead causing more damage to it, resulting in blindness.

Blindness from [[resurrector mech serum]] applies to both eyes, resulting in total blindness

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Ailment !! Symptoms

* 2% chance when used at 0.1 days or less of decay
* 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|death]].

The severity of the psychosis increases by 0.01 per day, meaning that it will kill in 100 days. Hopefully this gives you enough time to find a [[healer mech serum]], the only treatment for the disease.

|}

'''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.

== 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 more than 2 colonists on your colony for this to occur.

The average interval between heart attacks is curved as follows (in days):
* 0-50% of life expectancy: 99,999,999 - 99,999,999
* 50-60% of life expectancy: 99,999,999 - 2,500
* 60-100% of life expectancy: 2,500 - 300

Examples of intervals and chances:
* 55% of life expectancy (i.e. 44 in humans): 50,001,249.5 days (approx. 0.00000002% per day)
* 80% of life expectancy (i.e. 64 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% (Unconciousness)
* [[Pain]] +60%
|-
|'''Fatal''' || 100% Severity ||
* [[Death]]
|}

==== Progression ====
Heart attacks always start at 40% severity. Every {{ticks|5000}} 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 treat itself on its own, but usually the heart attack progresses to fatal severity.

==== 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 maximum chance a particular treatment can succeed is 65%.

==== 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.

{{Capacity

}} Sight affects most colonist stats, with varying impact, though its importance will depend on the pawn's role in the colony. Sight is capped at 100% for many stats, but some combat and medical skills are uncapped.

{{Hover title|Version/1.3.3242|At the time of writing}}, the maximum possible Sight capacity in the core game is 250% with a healthy pawn high on [[go-juice]] and [[luciferium]] with two [[archotech eye]]s installed, while also being infected with [[sensory mechanites]]. With the [[Royalty DLC]] installed, it is possible to reach a Sight capacity of up to a maximum of 325% with the addition of the [[Psycasts#Focus|Focus]] psycast.{{RoyaltyIcon}}

== Effects ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=There are definitely more of these that aren't listed - some to be tested inc. auroras, eclipses with the relevant precept, etc}}
Sight has a number of unique interactions with other mechanics, beyond the traditional effects on [[stats]].

Sight provides a 1% bonus to [[psychic sensitivity]] for each percentage point below 50% Sight. i.e. 20% Sight results in a bonus of +30% psychic sensitivity, while total blindness at Sight 0% provides +50% sensitivity.

Pawns with 0% Sight:
* Are not subject to the factor from low [[light]] levels on [[move speed]] or on [[global work speed]].
* Will not receive the "Observed corpse" or "Witnessed ally's death" moodlets.{{Check Tag|Other similar moodlets?|Wb the other witnessed death (inc outsider, family) and wb bloodlust?}}
* Do not gain nor lose any [[opinion]] for any other pawn based on their [[Beauty (Pawn)|beauty]] stat.
* Do not lose any [[opinion]] for [[disfigured]] pawns.
* Cannot [[recreation|recreate]] at a [[telescope]], [[poker table]], [[billiards table]], [[hoopstone ring]], or any type of [[television]]. They also cannot skygaze or view art for recreational purposes.

'''Dye''' comes from the [[tinctoria]] plant. It can be used to to paint walls and other buildings {{RimworldIcon}} or dye [[apparel]] and hair at the [[styling station]]{{IdeologyIcon}}

== Acquisition ==
Dye is obtained by harvesting [[tinctoria]] plant. Each fully grown plant yields {{Q|Tinctoria|Harvest Yield}} before modifiers for [[AI Storytellers#Harvest yield|Storyteller Harvest Yield]] and the harvesting pawn's [[Plant Harvest Yield]]. Note that by default, Storyteller Harvest Yield varies by difficulty.

== Summary ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Mechanics - color preferences and ideo preferences (rough - can summarize and link to [[styling station]]), painting etc. }}
=== Color selection ===
The below table attempts to catalog all the colors available. However, note that a different selection of colors is available for paint/hair/apparel, that each selection is ordered very differently, and that only the colors available as paint are named in-game.

{{Dye Color Table}}

== Analysis ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=General}}
Even a small field of tinctoria will rapidly provide an excess of dye for dyeing. Clothes aren't dyed often, and hair even less, so there is little need to stockpile more than a stack or two for any purposes other than painting a large section of a base. Stockpiles of dye should generally be kept next to the [[styling station]] to minimize walking time.

Use of dye generally is of questionable mechanical utility, providing at most {{+|2}} mood. However, it can be helpful to make specific pawns or locations immediately identifiable by the player without having to make suboptimal material choices for apparel or buildings, and creative players can of course make good use of its aesthetic properties.

== Version history ==
* [[Ideology DLC]] release - Added
* [[Version/1.3.3067|1.3.3067]] - Now used for dying hair
* [[Version/1.3.3080|1.3.3080]] - Dye now deteriorates.
* [[Version/1.4.3523|1.4.3523]] - Moved from [[Ideology DLC]] to Core. Now used in the new painting system: Paint walls, floors, and some furniture and buildings with dye harvested from the tinctoria crop.
* Unknown (some 1.4 between 3523 and 3704)- Dye market value changed from 0 to 2.65

Concrete

'''Concrete''' is a cheap and fireproof flooring.

== Acquisition ==
Concrete can be constructed once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. Each tile requires {{Required Resources}} and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work.

== Summary ==
Concrete has a {{--|1}} [[beauty]] penalty per tile. Cleaning [[filth]] on it takes only 80% the work. It is otherwise unremarkable flooring, being [[fire]]proof and not penalizing walk speed.

== Analysis ==
Concrete is cheap, very easy to lay, and quick to clean. Despite using steel, a valuable resource, the actual cost is very affordable.
* [[Smooth stone|Smoothing stone]] is free, but takes much more work to create.
* Compared to [[wood floor]], concrete actually has less [[Market Value]]. And unlike wood, concrete is not flammable. For many colonies, you can easily get steel from steel ore.
* Compared to just keeping a dirt floor, concrete has ''a'' cost, but is cleaner by default, which improves medical outcomes and research speed. Dirt floor also has a move speed penalty, and indoor dirt has a higher beauty penalty than concrete.
Concrete is less beautiful than other floors, but if your colonists didn't need the mood, it doesn't really matter. Outdoors, the beauty penalty of concrete is negligible. Concrete can be placed like [[flagstone]] to improve walking speed, used as a 2-tile wide fire barrier to protect buildings and [[crop]]s, or put underneath [[wind turbine]]s to prevent [[tree]] growth.

Indoors, concrete's beauty can be countered by using [[sculpture]]s. Assuming you have a decent artist, concrete with sculptures is one of the most resource efficient ''and'' [[wealth]] efficient ways of gaining beauty. See below for details.

=== With sculptures ===
With a decent artist, concrete + [[large sculpture]]s are often cheaper ''and'' more beautiful than the more expensive floors. A normal [[quality]], wood [[large sculpture]] costs {{Icon Small|wood}} 100 [[wood]] and is equal to 100 [[paved tile]]s ({{Icon Small|steel}} 100 [[steel]]). Most types of [[stone block|stone]] sculpture are more beautiful. Higher quality sculptures are even more beautiful. As all the beauty is concentrated into 1 tile, sculptures are also better at increasing the [[beauty|pawn beauty need]].

Note that sculptures do take up a tile of space. In small rooms, like bedrooms, space makes a huge impact on Impressiveness, meaning that more expensive flooring has a purpose. Sculptures can also be destroyed.

Both [[daylily|daylilies]] and [[jade]] [[fence]]s are even more wealth efficient than sculptures, but this doesn't change the fact that concrete remains the cheapest flooring (and thus remains the best ''with'' daylilies/jade fences). Note that options take up a lot more space, and thus worse at increasing pawn beauty need.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/1.3.3066|1.3.3066]] - NPC shuttle pads now always use concrete or [[paved tile]]s as flooring.
* [[Version/1.4.3523|1.4.3523]] - Cleaning time factor added.
