'''Devourers''' are an [[entity]] added in the [[Anomaly DLC]].

== Occurrence ==
Devourers occasionally raid the colony as part of the Devourer attack event (which only requires a level 1 Monolith to generate), and can also be part of the final raids of the anomaly ending. Devourer attacks can also emerge from water.

== Summary ==
{{Rewrite|section=1|reason=Separate swallowing/digestion summary subsection from combat summary}}
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}}.

=== Combat ===
[[File:Devourer leap radius.png|thumb|left|White tiles showing full leap radius]]Devourers are rather unconventional combatants, as they prefer not to attack normally. Instead, they will choose a target within 9.9 tiles, leap at it, and instantly swallow it whole upon landing. It is possible to avoid being swallowed by using a [[Jump pack]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} or [[Longjump legs]],{{BiotechIcon}} or similar abilities invulnerability frames during the devourer's leap attack. You cannot outrun the leap once it has started, no matter what the move speed. The devourer will then prioritize a different target upon landing.{{Check Tag|Clarification needed|If it devours the pawn, or if it doesn't? What does prioritize actually mean in this context? unsuccessful swallow attempt atill triggera cooldown?}} A devourer cannot swallow any pawn with a body size greater than 2.5. Once the devourer has swallowed its target, it will not move so long as it is digesting, 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 43 seconds for a pawn with a body size of 2.15. 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 has swallowed. The devourer's swallowing attack has a cooldown of 1.44 hours.{{Check Tag|Ticks?|Specific ticks would let us stat the exact game time and IRL time}}

Devourers have a [[psychic sensitivity]] of 200% and a bleed rate factor of 50%. They are immune to [[infection]]s.

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

=== Yield ===
The devourer yields 4 [[bioferrite]] and 800W per day. Minimum containment strength of 90 - it requires a [[holding platform]]. They have a base escape {{MTB}} of 60 days.

They can be studied for 2 Advanced dark study every {{ticks/gametime|120000}}

== 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.

If you have a stone door as the gate of your base, you can safely kill off any number of devourers by baiting them in one by one. Put a pawn that can take damage at the door as bait, and other pawns away from it. When a devourer is nearly in range, move the bait inside so that the door closes behind them. Because stone doors are slow, 1-2 devourers will still jump through before it closes. They will be isolated because other devourers will be blocked by the door. After killing them, you can repeat to kill the remaining ones. Remember to make sure the door never get blocked from closing, always move the bait inside before the devourer jump, and occasionally repair the damage to the door.

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. A
[[war queen]]'s{{BiotechIcon}} [[war urchin]]s{{BiotechIcon}} can serve as incredibly cheap fodder to bait the devour attack.
[[Scorcher]]s{{BiotechIcon}} 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 [[Fire spew]]{{BiotechIcon}} gene will be able to force multiple devourers to regurgitate at once. With [[Royalty]] installed, pawns using [[Vertigo pulse]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} force all affected devourers to release swallowed colonists. [[Invisibility|Invisible]] pawns will not be targeted and are especially effective when armed with fire weaponry.

=== 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.

Their high containment strength requirement means that security door and holding platforms are needed to contain them for long periods of time. Their swallow ability makes them dangerous in case of escape, especially when many {{PAGENAME}}s are in the same room. But their tox gas vulnerability means that an [[IED tox trap]]{{BiotechIcon}} is enough to down a 9x9 room full of devourers. For this, devourers are good entities to capture once the IED tox trap is available.

Devourers cannot be permanently downed through the removal of its fins, as the devourer's body itself adds moving capacity. However like most entities the still can be downed by braindamage.

{{Info|'''Kibble''' is a type of [[food]] intended for use as [[animal]] feed.}}

== Acquisition ==
Kibble can be [[Work#Cook|cooked]] at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]] or [[{{P|Production Facility 2}}]]. A batch of kibble requires 1 unit of [[nutrition]] from vegetarian items, and 1 unit of [[nutrition]] from meat or animal products. For example, 20 [[rice]] and 20 [[insect meat]] are sufficient. A completed bill requires {{ticks|450}} and produces 50 kibble at a butcher table, but only 35 at a butcher spot.

== Summary ==
Kibble is consumed for {{P|Nutrition}} [[nutrition]] per item. Kibble has 125% nutrition efficiency when produced at a butcher table, producing 2.5 nutrition per 2 nutrition from raw food. This drops to 87.5% efficiency when produced at a butcher spot, producing only 1.75 nutrition per 2 nutrition from raw food.

Unlike most other foods, it does not rot. While it will still [[deterioration|deteriorate]] if left outside and/or unroofed, it will not spoil even if left unrefrigerated.

Humans ''can'' eat kibble, but they'll get {{Thought|value=-12|stack=1|label=ate kibble|desc=I had to eat animal kibble. It's like I don't get to be human any more.|duration=1}}. This is the only way for humans to eat [[hay]]. The moodlets of its ingredients are also applied, notably from [[insect meat]] and [[human meat]] and depending on [[precept]]s {{IdeologyIcon}}.

== Analysis ==
Both kibble and [[meal]]s allow non-[[warg]] carnivores to eat some vegetables, and herbivores to eat meat, while being more efficient than raw food. While kibble isn't as nutrition efficient as meals ([[simple meal]]s, 180% efficient; [[pemmican]], 160% efficient), kibble has its unique advantages:

====Nutrition====
{{Recode|section=1|reason = automate a nutrition/work calculation with hard numbers: total work and split into Cook work and planter work; and nutrition/day/tile}}
* Kibble allows use of [[hay]] - [[haygrass]] is the plant with the highest yield per day per tile, but cannot be turned into meals. Note that [[corn]] has a higher yield per grower work. In regular soil, hay turned into kibble is slightly worse for nutrition/day/tile than rice turned into simple meals, and slightly better than rice turned into pemmican. Rice surpasses hay for nutrition per day in rich soil, but hay will always be better than rice for nutrition per work.
* Animals will eat an entire meal, even if they would [[overeating|overeat]]. Kibble and pemmican satiate 0.05 nutrition/item, which greatly reduces overeating. For example, a [[chicken]] can only store 0.3 nutrition in their stomach; they would consume 5-6 kibble when hungry, but a full meal every time. The smaller an animal is, the larger the effect of overeating (minimal effect at size >= 1).
* Kibble requires substantially less work time than other recipes.

Overall, kibble is ''nutritionally'' useful if you have spare [[hay]], and better than simple meals for the purposes of small animals. It is much better than pemmican in terms of colonist work. Even considering the extra food pemmican gives, it is more efficient to grow more crops than it is to cook pemmican unless there is a great cook but poor planters.

Kibble also allows use of [[human meat]], [[insect meat]], and [[twisted meat]]{{AnomalyIcon}} without the micromanagement required for separating meals. (Though you could, for example, only set pemmican to be created with human meat, and forbid colonists in the Assign tab from eating any pemmican). There are other uses for kibble - see below.

==== Logistics ====
* Kibble can be used for animal training, unlike [[meal]]s.
* Kibble never spoils, so you don't have to worry about it going bad from non-[[cooler|refrigeration]].
* Kibble can be made at a butcher's table, rather than requiring a fueled/powered kitchen.
* Since there is no chance for food poisoning, producing kibble is a safe way to train a no/low skill cook.
* When dropping kibble from a pawn's inventory into a hopper, an adjacent nutrient paste dispenser will use it as if it was raw food. Humans consuming kibble this way will get the moodlet from eating nutrient paste, but neither the one for eating kibble nor for its ingredients. At 375% nutrition efficiency, this method surpasses every other way of feeding humans.{{Check Tag|Verify|other high efficiency foods like baby food and NPMs can be used for this exploit}} It is generally considered an exploit.

* [[Version/0.13.1135|0.13.1135]] - Added.

The '''chimera''' is a bestial and ferocious [[entity]] added by the [[Anomaly DLC]].

== Occurrence ==
Chimeras only require a level 1 Monolith to spawn.

Chimera packs appear as a Major threat. [[Shambler]] chimeras can be mixed into Shambler animal swarms.

== Summary ==
They bleed at half the rate of normal animals and have 50% [[Toxic Resistance]].

The chimera has the unique ability to become enraged upon taking damage,{{Check Tag|Guaranteed to?}} gaining a hediff called 'Rage Speed.' This ability makes them much harder to put down, and much more adept at closing the distance between it and your pawns.

'''[[Hediffs#Rage speed|Rage speed]]:'''
* [[Pain]]: {{Good|×0%}}
* [[Move Speed]]: {{Good|×175%}}
** This results in a move speed of {{#expr:{{P|Move Speed Base}}*1.75}} {{CS}}
* [[Stagger Time Multiplier]]: {{Good|×0%}}

Rage speed lasts for {{Ticks/gametime|3400}}.{{Check Tag|Cooldown?|Is there a cool down, of so what? Alternatively will they only activate it once or every time theyre damaged once its complete}}

If raised as a [[shambler]] (e.g. by [[Research#Deadlife_dust|deadlife dust]]), chimeras retain their Rage Speed ability. Shambler chimeras can also fulfill the entity codex entry for Chimeras.

Colonists who see a chimera will receive a {{Bad|-8}} mood effect for 24 hours. Killing or disposing of the chimera has no affect on this moodlet.{{Check Tag|Thought Template}}

Chimeras have 3 different behaviors: attack, stalk and withdrawal. Initially chimeras will be in stalk mode and wander around their initial position. In attack mode, chimeras will behave very similar to manhunter packs. Receiving damage will generally cause chimeras to change from stalk mode to attack mode.

Stalk mode will change to attack mode every 16.8 hours on average. Attack mode will change to stalk mode every 8 hours on average. Stalk Mode and Attack Mode will last at least 3 hours. An exception is when chimeras in stalk mode are damaged and then they can switch to attack mode.

Everytime a chimera is killed or downed in attack mode there is a 7.5% chance the chimeras will switch to withdrawal mode. In withdrawal mode, Chimeras will flee and not respond to damage. Withdrawal mode will last at least one hour.

=== Containment ===
It provides Advanced anomaly research, and can be studied every 2 days.
It has a minimum containment strength of 70.
When hooked up to a [[bioferrite harvester]], it yields {{Icon Small|bioferrite||3.225}} [[bioferrite]] per day.
When hooked up to an [[electroharvester]], it provides 430 watts.

== Analysis ==
When enraged, chimeras gain pain immunity and a large speed boost, allowing them to catch up to ranged pawns frighteningly fast. Running away is difficult, so heavily armored melee pawns or [[ghoul]]s are recommended to intercept them first. Standard ranged [[killbox]]es are less effective than usual due to their high HP and enrage mechanics. They also have the some of the strongest melee attacks of any single entity, equivalent to a [[grizzly bear]], and can quickly cause a colonist to bleed out by tearing off limbs.

Still, chimeras essentially behave like [[manhunter|manhunting animals]] when attacking. They will eagerly pile up behind a [[door]] blocked by melee colonists. [[Frag grenades|Frag grenadiers]] behind the melee blockers will make short work of the pack, assuming the blockers can last long enough. They will not attack structures and will wait patiently outside a colony that has walled itself in and closed its doors, although they will not sleep or leave, waiting indefinitely until killed. As chimeras are hostile to non-entity raiders, it is possible to summon a [[mechanoid commander|mech boss]],{{BiotechIcon}} fail a [[draw animals]] ritual to summon manhunters, accept a [[quest]], etc. in order to eliminate or weaken a pack of chimeras. A [[nociosphere]] can be used to quickly dispatch stalking chimeras without trigering them into their attack mode, which could also lead to one being pain shocked and thus capturable.

Unlike manhunters, chimeras are not considered mentally broken and can be turned against each other with [[psychic insanity lance]]s or [[berserk (psycast)|berserk]] [[psycast]]s.{{RoyaltyIcon}} They are no longer affected by the [[manhunter pulse]] psycast,{{RoyaltyIcon}}{{Check Tag|As of at least 1.6.4633}} nor affected by the [[psychic animal pulser]].

Some other strategies include:
* [[Mortar]]s can be used to trigger their rage ability early, so that it will be close to ending or on cooldown by the time they reach the base and susceptible to pain shock.
* Like many entities, [[fire]] can be effective against chimeras when fighting out in the open. Fire is not recommended in a melee blocking scenario as pawns lit on fire can run past the melee blockers.

=== Containment ===
Capturing chimeras is quite difficult due to their immunity to pain combined with their high speed and durability. The most reliable method is generally to wound one severely, then retreat behind a door until it passes out from blood loss. When using this strategy, keep in mind that they are extremely fast and may block a doorway before your colonist can close the door. They are also susceptible to temperature traps, though their thick fur provides ample insulation against the elements in cold biomes. [[Psychic shock lance]]s are another option, if available.

Once captured, they have a fairly high [[bioferrite]] yield - although less than [[devourer]]s - and are a source of Advanced study available before [[monolith]] level 2. [[IED tox trap]]s{{BiotechIcon}} are a good way to stop an escaping chimera, as the [[toxic buildup]] will down the chimera before it can break down an actively repaired [[security door]]. Otherwise, they are relatively dangerous to contain, and their pain immunity means they will often be killed while escaping unless using (expensive) options like [[psychic shock lance]]s.

{{Stub|reason= Missing new Odyssey terrain and weather mechanics}}
{{TOCright}}

The map '''environment''' are all aspects of the map that often can not be directly influenced by the player, such as terrain, weather conditions and lighting.

== Beauty ==
{{Main|Beauty}}
Terrain, flooring, objects, and plants attribute to a tile's beauty, which in turn can affect a colonist's mood.
The contents of a tile have a cumulative effect on its beauty; i.e. a granite chunk (beauty of -10) on a carpeted floor (beauty of +2) gives the tile a net beauty of -8.
Certain unsightly objects, i.e. vomit, have one value when under a roof and a lower value when unroofed. This simulates the general disgust of seeing eyesores indoors versus encountering them outside.

== Space ==
Environment space (as opposed to the [[Space|Need for Space]]) is the count of how much space there is to freely move around in a room. This is all the floor tiles that are either empty or have objects that can be passed through at full speed, such as chairs, building materials, and the various "spots". All objects that either slow down or prevent movement through are not counted towards Environment Space. The "Space" number shown in the Environment display is this count x 1.4. This number is a measure of the entire room, and does not change depending on where a pawn is standing.

== Flora ==
{{Main|Plants}}
Certain plants and trees have beauty, and may also provide [[cover]] to colonists.

== Light ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=1) Relationship between light % and plant growth speed e.g. Tinctoria grows so slow in normal soil under torch light that it rots before it grows enough to harvest 2) Effects of [[Dark vision]] and [[Ideoligion#Lighting|Lighting:Darkness preferred]] on mentioned stat and mood penalties}}
{{For|the furniture item|standing lamp}}

Light can be generated artificially or naturally. Artificial light is produced by appliances in a limited range. Natural light is generated throughout the map on unroofed tiles. Roofed tiles will be dark unless lit artificially.

Occasionally an [[Events#Eclipse|eclipse]] befalls the planet. Natural daytime light is no longer generated until it ends.

Light's importance lies in the following effects:
* Plant growth - Most plants have light requirements to grow.
:* 0% only: {{DLC Icons|Nutrifungus}}
:* 0%+: {{#Ask: [[Min Grow Light::0]] [[Name::!Nutrifungus]]| format = template | template = DLC Icons | link = none | sort = From DLC, Name | sep = , }}
:* 30%+: {{#Ask: [[Min Grow Light::0.3]]| format = template | template = DLC Icons | link = none | sort = From DLC, Name | sep = , }}
:* 51%+: ''All other plants''
* Power - Solar generators only produce power when naturally lit.
* Colonists want 30% light or better. This affects:
:* Colonists' mood - Colonists in sustained darkness will have the [[Thoughts list#In darkness|'In darkness']] thought. Sleeping colonists will not have this thought. Therefore, lighting is not needed in areas only used for sleeping.
:* Colonists' movement speed - Colonists in darkness will have a reduced [[move speed]], scaling to 80% at a light level of 0%. Due to this, combat at night or under unlit roofed areas can lead to a disadvantage against non-human opponents, such as insects, manhunter animals, or mechanoids. Pawns that are [[Sight|Blind]], have the [[Ideoligion#Lighting|Lighting: Darklight preferred]] precept,{{IdeologyIcon}} or have the [[Dark vision]] gene{{BiotechIcon}} are unaffected by this factor.
:* Colonists' global work speed - Similarly to their movement speed, colonists will have a work speed penalty when working in darkness, scaling to 80% at a light level of 0%. Pawns that are [[Sight|Blind]], have the [[Ideoligion#Lighting|Lighting: Darklight preferred]] precept,{{IdeologyIcon}} or have the [[Dark vision]] gene{{BiotechIcon}} are unaffected by this factor.
* [[Surgery success chance factor]] is optimized at 50% light or better.

There are three light levels: ''Dark'' (0-29%), ''Lit'' (30-89%), and ''Brightly lit'' (90-100%). Each tile on the map has one of these light levels. The light level of a tile is listed in the tile's information area located above the Architect menu (when the menu is minimized). The light level is immediately followed by the brightness given in a percentage (%).

{| class="wikitable" style = "text-align:center; border-width=10;" width="260"

=== Darklight ===
{{Ideology|section=1}}
{{Stub|section=1|reason=General also two way links. if specific color, something like this may be useful to display

Darklight is a specific range of light colors.{{Check Tag|Which/Range?|Last I checked it had to be (78, 226, 229) specifically but this was before the merging of specific darklight buildings}} Areas lit with darklight are considered dark for the purposes of [[precept]]s: it pleases [[ideoligion]]s with the [[Ideoligion#Lighting|Lighting: Darklights Preferred]] precept, giving those with the precept a {{Thought| desc=This dim light is perfect. I feel focused and energized.| label=darklight| value=+4| stack=1}}, and is counted as dark if placed indoors for the [[combat in darkness]] precept. It is considered regular light in every other way, including for the purposes of work speed and [[unnatural darkness]].{{AnomalyIcon}}

* [[Darktorch]]
* [[Fungus darktorch]]
* [[Standing lamp]] (configured correctly)
* [[Flood light]] (configured correctly)
* [[Darklight brazier]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}

Standing lamps and flood lights can be set to enable darklight, even without the [[Research#Advanced lights|Advanced lights]] research.

=== Artificial light sources ===
Light in roofed areas is provided by the following appliances:

<div><li style="display: inline-table;">
{| {{STDT| sortable c_11 text-center}}
! Name !! <abbr title="The furthest away a tile can be before it falls below 30% light">Light Radius</abbr>

| format = template
| template = Ask Table Formatter
| ?Light Radius
| sort = From DLC, Name
| link = none
}}
|}
</li><div>

=== Daylight timing and latitude ===
Daylight, or natural light, is the light generated on unroofed tiles throughout the map. The timing and strength of daylight is affected by latitude, time of year, and time of day, due to the planet's apparent axial tilt.

This effect is more pronounced at extreme northern and southern latitudes, which can result in light levels not reaching 0% at night or 100% at daytime.

Near the central latitude, light level change throughout the day as follows:
{| class = "wikitable" width="180"
! Start time
! Light level
|- style="background-color:#FFFFF0"
| 4h || Lit
|- style="background-color:#FFFFD8"
| 7h || Brightly lit
|- style="background-color:#FFFFF0"
| 17h || Lit
|- style="background-color:#B8C0B8"
| 20h || Dark
|}

==== Day Length Table ====
Note that the below values represent the number of hours that the light level is above 30%, meaning there is no guarantee that it will reach 100%.

The calculation of sunlight is surprisingly involved. On a nutshell: the formula obtains the angle between the vectors Latitude and Sun Position, subtracts an angle θ from it (determined by Latitude), obtains the cosine of the difference, and divides this number by 0.7. Finally, this result is capped between 0 (no light) and 100% (full light).

If you only care about the final formula, go to "Final formula" below. Otherwise, carry on.

The amount of sunlight a given cell receives depends on its Latitude, Day of the year, and Hour of the day. The simplified steps to reach the final value are:

:1. Obtain the factor "u" for the given latitude
::{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Latitude !! Value of u
|-
| <= 70 || 0.2
|-
| [70, 75] || Latitude * 13/50-18
|-
| =>75|| 1.5
|}

:2. Obtain Sun Position Vector SP = <code>{SPx, SPy, SPz}</code>. Do note these formulas are not in degrees, but radians.
:* SPx = -cos(Hour * π / 12)
:* SPy = -cos(π * Day/30) * u
:* SPz = -sin(Hour * π / 12) [NOT ACTUALLY USED, BUT PART OF THE VECTOR]

:3. Calculate angle θ. Do note that the values of this table are in degrees. To convert to radians, multiply result by π / 180
::{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Latitud !! Value of θ
|-
| <= -60 || 19
|-
| [-60, 60] || 36 - abs(x) * 17/60 
|-
| [60, 70] || 19
|-
| [70, 75] || 299 - 4x
|-
| >75 || -1
|}

:4. Calculate the angle (Δ) between the vector Latitude (L) y SP.
:* Δ = arc cos [ ( cos(Latitude) * SPx + sen(Latitude) * SPy ) / <span style="white-space: nowrap">√<span style="text-decoration:overline;"> 1 + SPy<sup>2</sup> </span></span> ] 

:5. '''Sunlight''' = cos(Δ - θ)/0.7; Capped between 0 and 1 (100%).

Do note that the creation of the vector Latitude : <code>{cos(''latitude''), sin(''latitude''), 0}</code> was omitted for simplicity.

Interestingly, while some effects are applied differently above latitude <code>70</code> (70° N), these do not seem to apply below <code>-70</code> (70° S). This has some odd effects on extreme Latitudes, such as the south pole having neither full darkness nor full light.

Getting useful data from this formula is inconvenient. You can use [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dI8CoR9OMk679Gyvr8lXrKUNtfNdCQPp/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=114344865191558455918&rtpof=true&sd=true this google doc] to get a better idea of how many hours of daylight a given tile (based on Latitude) will have through the year.




== Openness ==
{{stub|section=1|reason=Large enough enclosed spaces seem to blur these boundaries}}
Openness refers to the often critical aspect of structures being open to the outside. It affects many things such as temperature, item deterioration, light, exposure to weather, and certain events.

Every tile on the map falls into one of three categories:
* Outdoors - not enclosed by any structure, even if there is a roof.
* Indoors - completely enclosed structure, completely roofed.
* Unroofed - completely enclosed structure, but with one or more unroofed tiles.

Sufficiently large unroofed rooms, approximately 300 tiles, are considered outdoors.{{Check Tag|Detail Needed}}

== Temperature ==
{{Main|Temperature}}
Environmental temperature is affected outdoors mainly by the map's biome and by the current season. Temperature affects a plant's ability to grow. Temperature affects a human's comfort, and health in extreme temperatures.

== Terrain ==
Terrain consists of the map's walking surface, terrain features, and mountain areas. Terrain affects things including walking speed, where plants can grow, and may prohibit construction.

'''Natural surface terrain''' includes soil, rich soil, marshy soil, marsh, mud, sand, lichen-covered dirt, gravel, rough stone (granite, marble, etc.), rough-hewn stone, shallow water, and deep water.

'''Terrain features''' include steam geysers and mountains. The steam from a geyser produces heat and an enclosed area around it will heat up unless unroofed. A mountain cannot be destroyed, even if all of its stone and ore has been mined out. What remains are terrain tiles listed as 'overhead mountain'.

=== Naturally generated surfaces ===
{{stub|section=1|reason=Anomaly terrains - Flesh and Gray surface, odyssey terrains}}
{{Split|section=1|reason=Individual pages for each terrain. Then make and distribute nav template}}
{{Recode|section=1|reason=Automate table once all pages created}}
{{For|the artificial flooring|Floors#Comparison table{{!}}Floors}}
While most terrain properties are self-explanatory, some require special attention.
* '''Path cost''' determines how difficult is to travers a given terrain.
* '''Move Speed Modifier''' is the net effect of said cost, and is obtained with the formula <code>13/(13 + Path cost)</code> rounded.
* '''Terrain Support''' determines what kind of structures can be build on a given terrain. If a given structure has a '''Terrain Affordance''' not listed for a given terrain, then said terrain is not a valid construction site. The types used are:
**'''Light''': Supports light structure.<br/>
**'''Medium''': Supports medium structures.<br/>
**'''Heavy''': Supports heavy structures.<br/>
**'''ShallowWater''': Can be built on with things that are waterproof.<br/>
**'''MovingFluid''' (moving water): Contains power usable for hydroelectrics.<br/>
**'''Bridgeable''': [[Bridge]] can be built over this terrain.<br/>
**'''GrowSoil''' (growable): Things can grow here. Unsure if is does anything or if merely indicative.<br/>
**'''Diggable''': Able to build [[grave]]s.<br/>
**'''SmoothableStone''' (smoothable): Can be ground and smoothed into smooth stone.<br/>
*'''Filth Mask''' determines what kind of [[filth]] can be applied on this terrain. Most natural floors only accept '''Unnatural''' filth, if any at all, but there are exceptions.
*'''Tag''' use is unclear. It may be used on map generation.

As of [[Version/1.5.4104]], all terrains with Heavy '''Terrain Support''' also support both Medium and Light. To help the readability of this table, only the '''Heavy''' tag will be used in those cases.

=== Steam geyser ===
{{stub|section=1|reason=Specific numbers on heat needed}}
[[File:Steam geyser.png|frameless|64px]] Steam geysers are terrain features that allow the placement of a [[geothermal generator]] on them and also output a significant amount of [[temperature|heat]] when sealed in a roofed room.

The steam geyser sprays after a random delay between {{Ticks|500}} and {{Ticks|2000}}. It will then spray for between {{Ticks|200}} and {{Ticks|500}}. While spraying, it will output 40 heat every {{ticks|20}}. Thus, it averages {{#expr: (60*40*((500+200)/2)/20)/((2000+500/2) + (200+500)/2) round 2}} heat per second, with no maximum temperature.

Besides their use in power generation, they can also be used to heat bases and greenhouses without the need for electricity or fuel by sealing them in. Like any means of [[temperature]] regulation, geysers require an enclosed and [[roof|roofed]] [[room]] to actually cause a change in heat. If you don't want heat, keep the geothermal room without a roof.

== Weather ==
{{stub|section=1|reason=Rain details should be split from the rain weather type (because its not the only weather type that includes raining) and details discussed including short circuiting, increasing fuel consumption of torch, campfire and brazier variants, which weather types include rain, whether snow counts as rain for all mechanics etc, similarly Snow and its unique effects including [[Snow]] being merged into here. [[Odyssey DLC]] weathers need notes as they have additional effects, e.g. torrential rain causing flooding. All sources kf forced weather (Check: Death pall Gray pall, blood rain, and sandstorm}}

Weather events occur from time to time depending on the biome and time of year, with the current weather listed at the right edge of the screen. When a weather event ends the weather returns to Clear. Each weather event has a general effect on wind speed.

Wind speed continually varies between 0% to 150% but it is not displayed onscreen. Wind speed is a direct multiplier of a [[wind turbine]]'s nominal power output of {{Q|Wind turbine|Power Consumption #}}W. At 50% wind speed a wind turbine produces {{#expr:0.5*{{Q|Wind turbine|Power Consumption #}}}}W up to a maximum of {{#expr:1.5*{{Q|Wind turbine|Power Consumption #}}}}W at 150%. Note that the "max power output" listed in the infobox claims that {{Q|Wind turbine|Power Consumption #}}W is the maximum under "ideal conditions" - this is incorrect.

The [[Weather controller]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}} can force a single type of weather to constantly appear, and will only allow natural changes in weather once it is destroyed.
[[Fire#Rain event|Large fires]] can also influence the weather cycle, and can encourage rainy weather to arrive faster than it would otherwise for the duration of the fire.

=== Firewatcher ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Conflicting information from merge. [[Fire]] version alleges:

This happens once the map's "Fire Danger" rises above 90 points, which is calculated as 0.5 points for every fire on the map, plus 1 point for each size a fire has increased. At this point, the duration of any current non-forced weather will be shortened by 75%, and the chances for the next weather to be any weather with more than 10% [[weather|rainfall]] will be increased by 1500% }}

Colloquially referred to as a "rain event" or the "firewatcher" after the name of the process in the game code, sufficiently large [[fire]]s on a map increase the chance for rain to occur. The resultant rain will gradually extinguish [[roof|unroofed]] fires, and may eventually control large wildfires.

The '''firewatcher''' process checks every {{ticks|426}} for fires on the map. If there are any, it sets the variable '''firedanger''' to 0.5 + the size of the fire (usually 0.1) for every fire on the map. A large fire is declared once '''firedanger''' reaches 90, resulting on the progress towards any weather with a rain rate above 0.1 (any weather with rain, in practice) increasing 15 times faster than normal. This effect will remain in place for as long as '''firedanger''' remains above 90.

It's important to note that rainfall is not guaranteed, only drastically encouraged by speeding up the weather cycle and increasing bias towards rainy weathers. It is possible for rainfall to not occur even during the most extreme fires.

Forced weather, such as from [[weather controller]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}} or certain weather events such as [[drought]]s{{OdysseyIcon}} or [[Environment#Weather|Flashstorms]] will disable rain entirely, preventing it from appearing during accelerated weather. [[Unnatural darkness]]{{AnomalyIcon}} also forces the weather to clear.

== Lightning ==
[[File:Dry Thunderstorm.png|400px|thumb|right|Lightning in a [[Environment#Weather|Dry thunderstorm]] ]]
'''Lightning''' is created either naturally through thunder and flashstorms, or artificially with the [[Flashstorm (psycast)|flashstorm]] psycast{{RoyaltyIcon}}. These do 10 [[Damage types#Flame|Flame]] damage in a 3x3 area (1.9 block radius) and start [[fire]]s to objects in the area of effect that are not under a roof. Dry thunderstorms can be especially dangerous, starting fires around the map without rain to put them out. The flashstorm psycast should be used with caution, preferably in areas without vegetation or during rain. Lightning can also be spawned in with a debug command in [[development mode]].

Lightning is bright enough to momentarily power [[solar generator]]s and grow [[plants]].

== Version history ==
* [[Version/0.0.245|0.0.245]] - Weather (rain/fog) now affects chances of hitting a target
* [[Version/0.3.410|0.3.410]] - Rain now slowly washes away [[Filth|blood]]. Added rich dirt patches.
* Beta 19/ 1.0 - Changed deep moving water to chest-deep moving water: walkable but slower than shallow water. Shallow water movement cost 12 -> 22. Sand fertility 6% -> 10%.
* [[Version/1.1.0|1.1.0]] - Fix: Wind turbines register no wind during windy storm.
* [[Version/1.4.3523|1.4.3523]] - Fix: Geysers have a deconstruct gizmo in god mode which causes and error when clicked.
* [[Version/1.6.4528|1.6.4528]] - Fix: Rain sometimes appears pixelated.

{{Stub|reason= Missing new Odyssey terrain and weather mechanics}}
{{TOCright}}

The map '''environment''' are all aspects of the map that often can not be directly influenced by the player, such as terrain, weather conditions and lighting.

== Beauty ==
{{Main|Beauty}}
Terrain, flooring, objects, and plants attribute to a tile's beauty, which in turn can affect a colonist's mood.
The contents of a tile have a cumulative effect on its beauty; i.e. a granite chunk (beauty of -10) on a carpeted floor (beauty of +2) gives the tile a net beauty of -8.
Certain unsightly objects, i.e. vomit, have one value when under a roof and a lower value when unroofed. This simulates the general disgust of seeing eyesores indoors versus encountering them outside.

== Space ==
Environment space (as opposed to the [[Space|Need for Space]]) is the count of how much space there is to freely move around in a room. This is all the floor tiles that are either empty or have objects that can be passed through at full speed, such as chairs, building materials, and the various "spots". All objects that either slow down or prevent movement through are not counted towards Environment Space. The "Space" number shown in the Environment display is this count x 1.4. This number is a measure of the entire room, and does not change depending on where a pawn is standing.

== Flora ==
{{Main|Plants}}
Certain plants and trees have beauty, and may also provide [[cover]] to colonists.

== Light ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=1) Relationship between light % and plant growth speed e.g. Tinctoria grows so slow in normal soil under torch light that it rots before it grows enough to harvest 2) Effects of [[Dark vision]] and [[Ideoligion#Lighting|Lighting:Darkness preferred]] on mentioned stat and mood penalties}}
{{For|the furniture item|standing lamp}}

Light can be generated artificially or naturally. Artificial light is produced by appliances in a limited range. Natural light is generated throughout the map on unroofed tiles. Roofed tiles will be dark unless lit artificially.

Occasionally an [[Events#Eclipse|eclipse]] befalls the planet. Natural daytime light is no longer generated until it ends.

Light's importance lies in the following effects:
* Plant growth - Most plants have light requirements to grow.
:* 0% only: {{DLC Icons|Nutrifungus}}
:* 0%+: {{#Ask: [[Min Grow Light::0]] [[Name::!Nutrifungus]]| format = template | template = DLC Icons | link = none | sort = From DLC, Name | sep = , }}
:* 30%+: {{#Ask: [[Min Grow Light::0.3]]| format = template | template = DLC Icons | link = none | sort = From DLC, Name | sep = , }}
:* 51%+: ''All other plants''
* Power - Solar generators only produce power when naturally lit.
* Colonists want 30% light or better. This affects:
:* Colonists' mood - Colonists in sustained darkness will have the [[Thoughts list#In darkness|'In darkness']] thought. Sleeping colonists will not have this thought. Therefore, lighting is not needed in areas only used for sleeping.
:* Colonists' movement speed - Colonists in darkness will have a reduced [[move speed]], scaling to 80% at a light level of 0%. Due to this, combat at night or under unlit roofed areas can lead to a disadvantage against non-human opponents, such as insects, manhunter animals, or mechanoids. Pawns that are [[Sight|Blind]], have the [[Ideoligion#Lighting|Lighting: Darklight preferred]] precept,{{IdeologyIcon}} or have the [[Dark vision]] gene{{BiotechIcon}} are unaffected by this factor.
:* Colonists' global work speed - Similarly to their movement speed, colonists will have a work speed penalty when working in darkness, scaling to 80% at a light level of 0%. Pawns that are [[Sight|Blind]], have the [[Ideoligion#Lighting|Lighting: Darklight preferred]] precept,{{IdeologyIcon}} or have the [[Dark vision]] gene{{BiotechIcon}} are unaffected by this factor.
* [[Surgery success chance factor]] is optimized at 50% light or better.

There are three light levels: ''Dark'' (0-29%), ''Lit'' (30-89%), and ''Brightly lit'' (90-100%). Each tile on the map has one of these light levels. The light level of a tile is listed in the tile's information area located above the Architect menu (when the menu is minimized). The light level is immediately followed by the brightness given in a percentage (%).

=== Darklight ===
{{Ideology|section=1}}
{{Stub|section=1|reason=General also two way links}}

Darklight is a specific range of light colors.{{Check Tag|Which/Range?|Last I checked it had to be (78, 226, 229) specifically but this was before the merging of specific darklight buildings}} Areas lit with darklight are considered dark for the purposes of [[precept]]s: it pleases [[ideoligion]]s with the [[Ideoligion#Lighting|Lighting: Darklights Preferred]] precept, giving those with the precept a {{Thought| desc=This dim light is perfect. I feel focused and energized.| label=darklight| value=+4| stack=1}}, and is counted as dark if placed indoors for the [[combat in darkness]] precept. It is considered regular light in every other way, including for the purposes of work speed and [[unnatural darkness]].{{AnomalyIcon}}

* [[Darktorch]]
* [[Fungus darktorch]]
* [[Standing lamp]] (configured correctly)
* [[Flood light]] (configured correctly)
* [[Darklight brazier]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}

Standing lamps and flood lights can be set to enable darklight, even without the [[Research#Advanced lights|Advanced lights]] research.

=== Artificial light sources ===
Light in roofed areas is provided by the following appliances:

<div><li style="display: inline-table;">
{| {{STDT| sortable c_11 text-center}}
! Name !! <abbr title="The furthest away a tile can be before it falls below 30% light">Light Radius</abbr>
|-
{{#ask: [[Light Radius::+]]
| format = template
| template = Ask Table Formatter
| ?Light Radius
| sort = From DLC, Name
| link = none
}}
|}
</li><div>

=== Daylight timing and latitude ===
Daylight, or natural light, is the light generated on unroofed tiles throughout the map. The timing and strength of daylight is affected by latitude, time of year, and time of day, due to the planet's apparent axial tilt.

This effect is more pronounced at extreme northern and southern latitudes, which can result in light levels not reaching 0% at night or 100% at daytime.

Near the central latitude, light level change throughout the day as follows:
{| class = "wikitable" width="180"
! Start time
! Light level
|- style="background-color:#FFFFF0"
| 4h || Lit
|- style="background-color:#FFFFD8"
| 7h || Brightly lit
|- style="background-color:#FFFFF0"
| 17h || Lit
|- style="background-color:#B8C0B8"
| 20h || Dark
|}

==== Day Length Table ====
Note that the below values represent the number of hours that the light level is above 30%, meaning there is no guarantee that it will reach 100%.

The calculation of sunlight is surprisingly involved. On a nutshell: the formula obtains the angle between the vectors Latitude and Sun Position, subtracts an angle θ from it (determined by Latitude), obtains the cosine of the difference, and divides this number by 0.7. Finally, this result is capped between 0 (no light) and 100% (full light).

If you only care about the final formula, go to "Final formula" below. Otherwise, carry on.

The amount of sunlight a given cell receives depends on its Latitude, Day of the year, and Hour of the day. The simplified steps to reach the final value are:

:1. Obtain the factor "u" for the given latitude
::{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Latitude !! Value of u
|-
| <= 70 || 0.2
|-
| [70, 75] || Latitude * 13/50-18
|-
| =>75|| 1.5
|}

:2. Obtain Sun Position Vector SP = <code>{SPx, SPy, SPz}</code>. Do note these formulas are not in degrees, but radians.
:* SPx = -cos(Hour * π / 12)
:* SPy = -cos(π * Day/30) * u
:* SPz = -sin(Hour * π / 12) [NOT ACTUALLY USED, BUT PART OF THE VECTOR]

:3. Calculate angle θ. Do note that the values of this table are in degrees. To convert to radians, multiply result by π / 180
::{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Latitud !! Value of θ
|-
| <= -60 || 19
|-
| [-60, 60] || 36 - abs(x) * 17/60 
|-
| [60, 70] || 19
|-
| [70, 75] || 299 - 4x
|-
| >75 || -1
|}

:4. Calculate the angle (Δ) between the vector Latitude (L) y SP.
:* Δ = arc cos [ ( cos(Latitude) * SPx + sen(Latitude) * SPy ) / <span style="white-space: nowrap">√<span style="text-decoration:overline;"> 1 + SPy<sup>2</sup> </span></span> ] 

:5. '''Sunlight''' = cos(Δ - θ)/0.7; Capped between 0 and 1 (100%).

Do note that the creation of the vector Latitude : <code>{cos(''latitude''), sin(''latitude''), 0}</code> was omitted for simplicity.

Interestingly, while some effects are applied differently above latitude <code>70</code> (70° N), these do not seem to apply below <code>-70</code> (70° S). This has some odd effects on extreme Latitudes, such as the south pole having neither full darkness nor full light.

Getting useful data from this formula is inconvenient. You can use [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dI8CoR9OMk679Gyvr8lXrKUNtfNdCQPp/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=114344865191558455918&rtpof=true&sd=true this google doc] to get a better idea of how many hours of daylight a given tile (based on Latitude) will have through the year.




== Openness ==
{{stub|section=1|reason=Large enough enclosed spaces seem to blur these boundaries}}
Openness refers to the often critical aspect of structures being open to the outside. It affects many things such as temperature, item deterioration, light, exposure to weather, and certain events.

Every tile on the map falls into one of three categories:
* Outdoors - not enclosed by any structure, even if there is a roof.
* Indoors - completely enclosed structure, completely roofed.
* Unroofed - completely enclosed structure, but with one or more unroofed tiles.

Sufficiently large unroofed rooms, approximately 300 tiles, are considered outdoors.{{Check Tag|Detail Needed}}

== Temperature ==
{{Main|Temperature}}
Environmental temperature is affected outdoors mainly by the map's biome and by the current season. Temperature affects a plant's ability to grow. Temperature affects a human's comfort, and health in extreme temperatures.

== Terrain ==
Terrain consists of the map's walking surface, terrain features, and mountain areas. Terrain affects things including walking speed, where plants can grow, and may prohibit construction.

'''Natural surface terrain''' includes soil, rich soil, marshy soil, marsh, mud, sand, lichen-covered dirt, gravel, rough stone (granite, marble, etc.), rough-hewn stone, shallow water, and deep water.

'''Terrain features''' include steam geysers and mountains. The steam from a geyser produces heat and an enclosed area around it will heat up unless unroofed. A mountain cannot be destroyed, even if all of its stone and ore has been mined out. What remains are terrain tiles listed as 'overhead mountain'.

=== Naturally generated surfaces ===
{{stub|section=1|reason=Anomaly terrains - Flesh and Gray surface, odyssey terrains}}
{{Split|section=1|reason=Individual pages for each terrain. Then make and distribute nav template}}
{{Recode|section=1|reason=Automate table once all pages created}}
{{For|the artificial flooring|Floors#Comparison table{{!}}Floors}}
While most terrain properties are self-explanatory, some require special attention.
* '''Path cost''' determines how difficult is to travers a given terrain.
* '''Move Speed Modifier''' is the net effect of said cost, and is obtained with the formula <code>13/(13 + Path cost)</code> rounded.
* '''Terrain Support''' determines what kind of structures can be build on a given terrain. If a given structure has a '''Terrain Affordance''' not listed for a given terrain, then said terrain is not a valid construction site. The types used are:
**'''Light''': Supports light structure.<br/>
**'''Medium''': Supports medium structures.<br/>
**'''Heavy''': Supports heavy structures.<br/>
**'''ShallowWater''': Can be built on with things that are waterproof.<br/>
**'''MovingFluid''' (moving water): Contains power usable for hydroelectrics.<br/>
**'''Bridgeable''': [[Bridge]] can be built over this terrain.<br/>
**'''GrowSoil''' (growable): Things can grow here. Unsure if is does anything or if merely indicative.<br/>
**'''Diggable''': Able to build [[grave]]s.<br/>
**'''SmoothableStone''' (smoothable): Can be ground and smoothed into smooth stone.<br/>
*'''Filth Mask''' determines what kind of [[filth]] can be applied on this terrain. Most natural floors only accept '''Unnatural''' filth, if any at all, but there are exceptions.
*'''Tag''' use is unclear. It may be used on map generation.

As of [[Version/1.5.4104]], all terrains with Heavy '''Terrain Support''' also support both Medium and Light. To help the readability of this table, only the '''Heavy''' tag will be used in those cases.

=== Steam geyser ===
{{stub|section=1|reason=Specific numbers on heat needed}}
[[File:Steam geyser.png|frameless|64px]] Steam geysers are terrain features that allow the placement of a [[geothermal generator]] on them and also output a significant amount of [[temperature|heat]] when sealed in a roofed room.

The steam geyser sprays after a random delay between {{Ticks|500}} and {{Ticks|2000}}. It will then spray for between {{Ticks|200}} and {{Ticks|500}}. While spraying, it will output 40 heat every {{ticks|20}}. Thus, it averages {{#expr: (60*40*((500+200)/2)/20)/((2000+500/2) + (200+500)/2) round 2}} heat per second, with no maximum temperature.

Besides their use in power generation, they can also be used to heat bases and greenhouses without the need for electricity or fuel by sealing them in. Like any means of [[temperature]] regulation, geysers require an enclosed and [[roof|roofed]] [[room]] to actually cause a change in heat. If you don't want heat, keep the geothermal room without a roof.

== Weather ==
{{stub|section=1|reason=Rain details should be split from the rain weather type (because its not the only weather type that includes raining) and details discussed including short circuiting, increasing fuel consumption of torch, campfire and brazier variants, which weather types include rain, whether snow counts as rain for all mechanics etc, similarly Snow and its unique effects including [[Snow]] being merged into here. [[Odyssey DLC]] weathers need notes as they have additional effects, e.g. torrential rain causing flooding. All sources kf forced weather (Check: Death pall Gray pall, blood rain, and sandstorm}}

Weather events occur from time to time depending on the biome and time of year, with the current weather listed at the right edge of the screen. When a weather event ends the weather returns to Clear. Each weather event has a general effect on wind speed.

Wind speed continually varies between 0% to 150% but it is not displayed onscreen. Wind speed is a direct multiplier of a [[wind turbine]]'s nominal power output of {{Q|Wind turbine|Power Consumption #}}W. At 50% wind speed a wind turbine produces {{#expr:0.5*{{Q|Wind turbine|Power Consumption #}}}}W up to a maximum of {{#expr:1.5*{{Q|Wind turbine|Power Consumption #}}}}W at 150%. Note that the "max power output" listed in the infobox claims that {{Q|Wind turbine|Power Consumption #}}W is the maximum under "ideal conditions" - this is incorrect.

The [[Weather controller]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}} can force a single type of weather to constantly appear, and will only allow natural changes in weather once it is destroyed.
[[Fire#Rain event|Large fires]] can also influence the weather cycle, and can encourage rainy weather to arrive faster than it would otherwise for the duration of the fire.

=== Firewatcher ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Conflicting information from merge. [[Fire]] version alleges:

This happens once the map's "Fire Danger" rises above 90 points, which is calculated as 0.5 points for every fire on the map, plus 1 point for each size a fire has increased. At this point, the duration of any current non-forced weather will be shortened by 75%, and the chances for the next weather to be any weather with more than 10% [[weather|rainfall]] will be increased by 1500% }}

Colloquially referred to as a "rain event" or the "firewatcher" after the name of the process in the game code, sufficiently large [[fire]]s on a map increase the chance for rain to occur. The resultant rain will gradually extinguish [[roof|unroofed]] fires, and may eventually control large wildfires.

The '''firewatcher''' process checks every {{ticks|426}} for fires on the map. If there are any, it sets the variable '''firedanger''' to 0.5 + the size of the fire (usually 0.1) for every fire on the map. A large fire is declared once '''firedanger''' reaches 90, resulting on the progress towards any weather with a rain rate above 0.1 (any weather with rain, in practice) increasing 15 times faster than normal. This effect will remain in place for as long as '''firedanger''' remains above 90.

It's important to note that rainfall is not guaranteed, only drastically encouraged by speeding up the weather cycle and increasing bias towards rainy weathers. It is possible for rainfall to not occur even during the most extreme fires.

Forced weather, such as from [[weather controller]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}} or certain weather events such as [[drought]]s{{OdysseyIcon}} or [[Environment#Weather|Flashstorms]] will disable rain entirely, preventing it from appearing during accelerated weather. [[Unnatural darkness]]{{AnomalyIcon}} also forces the weather to clear.

== Lightning ==
[[File:Dry Thunderstorm.png|400px|thumb|right|Lightning in a [[Environment#Weather|Dry thunderstorm]] ]]
'''Lightning''' is created either naturally through thunder and flashstorms, or artificially with the [[Flashstorm (psycast)|flashstorm]] psycast{{RoyaltyIcon}}. These do 10 [[Damage types#Flame|Flame]] damage in a 3x3 area (1.9 block radius) and start [[fire]]s to objects in the area of effect that are not under a roof. Dry thunderstorms can be especially dangerous, starting fires around the map without rain to put them out. The flashstorm psycast should be used with caution, preferably in areas without vegetation or during rain. Lightning can also be spawned in with a debug command in [[development mode]].

Lightning is bright enough to momentarily power [[solar generator]]s and grow [[plants]].

== Version history ==
* [[Version/0.0.245|0.0.245]] - Weather (rain/fog) now affects chances of hitting a target
* [[Version/0.3.410|0.3.410]] - Rain now slowly washes away [[Filth|blood]]. Added rich dirt patches.
* Beta 19/ 1.0 - Changed deep moving water to chest-deep moving water: walkable but slower than shallow water. Shallow water movement cost 12 -> 22. Sand fertility 6% -> 10%.
* [[Version/1.1.0|1.1.0]] - Fix: Wind turbines register no wind during windy storm.
* [[Version/1.4.3523|1.4.3523]] - Fix: Geysers have a deconstruct gizmo in god mode which causes and error when clicked.
* [[Version/1.6.4528|1.6.4528]] - Fix: Rain sometimes appears pixelated.

The '''psychic emanator''' is a special building only received as a [[quest]] reward that provides a [[mood]] bonus to all [[human]] pawns around it when powered.

== Acquisition ==
Psychic emanators cannot be constructed nor bought from [[trader]]s. Instead they can only be 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 an emanator in a given play-through. They may also be found occasionally inside the following containers:

== Summary ==
[[File:Psychic emanator radius.png|thumb|left|200px|Psychic emanator radius of effect]] When provided with {{#expr:-{{P|Power Consumption}}}}W of [[power]], a psychic emanator projects an aura in a 14.9-tile radius around itself. This radius is not blocked by any structure, including [[walls]]. All human pawns within the radius experience a {{Thought|desc=The psychic emanator makes me feel strange, but also very relaxed.|label=Psychic emanator soothe|value=+5}} bonus, directly scaled to the [[psychic sensitivity]] of the pawn. That is, a [[psychically hypersensitive]] pawn, with the resulting 180% sensitivity, will experience a {{+|9}} mood bonus, while a [[psychically deaf]] pawn with 0% sensitivity will have no change to their mood at all. All humans in range experience the thought - [[colonist]], [[raider]], and [[guest]]; adult, child and [[baby]]{{BiotechIcon}} alike.

The mood bonus only lasts for as long as a pawn remains within its area of effect.

The effects of multiple emanators do not stack.

== Analysis ==
The mood bonus from the emanator immediately ends once the pawn moves out of its somewhat short range, however Mood [[Mood#Mechanics|moves gradually]] in response to changes. Having the mood stabilize at the higher level obviously helps while inside the radius, but the mood will also take time to tick down to baseline after leaving the area. The higher the mood bonus, the longer it will be in effect - a psychically hypersensitive pawn will have over an hour of time before their mood stabilizes. As such, it is advisable to place the emanator in places where pawns stay for long periods of time, or frequently spend time in.

Suggestions include:
* Hospitals to help negate some of the negative effects of being bedridden with an illness. Note that pawns that are immobile or unconscious cannot break and are therefore a low priority for mood management.
* Near prison cells to reduce mental breaks.
* Near work spaces to provide a mood bonuses throughout the day - a pawn that spends all of its time in the field and then goes out of it to eat and sleep effectively has it 24/7. Ideal places include workshops, kitchens, [[meditation]] locations,{{RoyaltyIcon}} and any worksite that does not require the pawn to range over a large area.
* In shared spaces such as dining and rec rooms - this is less efficient on a per pawn basis but will increase the happiness of the colony as a whole more effectively.
* In Nurseries, due to [[children]]{{BiotechIcon}} causing either a {{Thought|desc=It's sad to see that the young folk are struggling.|label=sad youngsters|value=-2|stack=3}} or {{Thought|desc=It's nice to see that the young folk are doing well.|label=happy youngsters|value=+2|stack=3}} to colonists without the [[Psychopath]] trait, babies do not have many mood offsets and frequently have their moods decrease due to their play need not being satisfied or just not going to sleep.
* In areas frequented by particularly break-prone pawns, such as those with the [[Depressive]] trait or that have recently lost family members.

As mood does not change while sleeping, it should not be placed near bedrooms

Because of the rarity and high value of the emanator, you can wall to prevent angry pawns from destroying it during a [[tantrum]], or raiders from damaging or stealing it.

If targeted at improving the mood of a specific pawn or pawns, consider enhancing their [[psychic sensitivity]] to maximize the effect on their mood. [[Eltex]] clothing{{RoyaltyIcon}} is ideal, especially if the mood boost is not intended to be permanent, but a variety of methods exist. For a full list of potential enhancers, see the [[Psychic Sensitivity]] page.

The '''Vacskin Gland''' is an implant added by the [[Royalty DLC]] and [[Odyssey DLC]] that improves the host pawn's [[vacuum resistance]] and [[Minimum Comfortable Temperature|minimum comfortable temperature]], in exchange for reducing their [[moving]] capacity

== Acquisition ==
{{Acquisition}}

== Summary ==
Pawns that are implanted with a vacskin gland gain a bonus to [[Vacuum Resistance]] of {{+|{{%|{{P|Vacuum Resistance Offset}}}}}}, and a reduction of their [[minimum comfortable temperature]] by {{---|{{Temperature|10.0||delta}}}}. It also multiplies [[moving]] by a factor of {{Bad|x90%}}. In turn, the penalty to moving reduces the [[move speed]], [[hunting stealth]], and [[melee dodge chance]] of a pawn.

Pawns with a vacskin gland do not receive [[vacuum burn]]s.

It is mutally exclusive with the [[skin gland]]s from the [[Royalty DLC]], but unlike them does not reduce [[pawn beauty]] or provide [[armor]].

=== 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.

Removing the part requires {{Ticks|2500}} of work, 1x medicine of [[Herbal medicine|herbal]] quality or better, and a [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] of 5.

If the operation fails, the part will be destroyed.

== Analysis ==
The reduction in [[capacity|moving capacity]] of this implant is equal to that of an [[armorskin gland]] but with different benefits.

All skin-hardening implants are incompatible so they come with the cost of missing [[vacuum resistance]] or increased internal layer [[armor]] respectively.
Since movement capacity adjustments affect the final result of a creature's movement speed, this represents a 10% reduction from effectively all movement offset bonuses.

Vacskin glands have relatively little effect on the surface, unless the {{---|{{Temperature|10.0||delta}}}} offset gives your colonists the opportunity to switch from heavier/less protective armor to something lighter/stronger: Surface-worn [[vacsuit]]s and [[parka]]s to power armors and [[jacket]]s/[[duster]]s respectively. High quality gear largely outcompetes the flat offset in this role, even in permanently frozen places.

In orbit, vacskin glands provide full vacuum protection with the vacuum resistant gene, any power armor or helmet, and vacsuits or vacsuit helmets. A colonist with the implant is significantly faster than a fully vacsuited pirate or [[sentry drone]]s but likely not [[mechanoid]]s or [[wasp drone]]s. The constant {{Temperature|-75}} temperature remains a significant obstacle to non-armor apparel, though most is potentially wearable. Even a nudist space colony might be possible, if properly [[Scenario_system#Default_Scenarios|prepared]].

Vacuum resistances below '''100%''' are not necessarily insufficient, since the amount of time a colonist can survive up to increases from hours to effectively days at a time as they get closer to full protection.

While this does mean that vacskin glands are useful to all spacebound colonists, it makes [[marine armor]] an even more attractive option, since the armor comes with even more temperature resistance, typically less movement penalty (-0.25 vs -0.46, excluding other offsets), and a naturally high rating of armor protection. There are significant combat threats in orbit too, so choosing to forgo vacskin glands also means you can still choose the surgical option with other skin hardening glands for even more defense at relatively small cost. Even in the case of a fully depressurized gravship or space base, restoring a breathable atmosphere only takes a small amount of time and steel, components and power, resources found pretty much everywhere in orbit.

Vacskin glands are certainly lifesaving implants in the right (or wrong) circumstances, but in the year([[Lore|?]]) 5500, being prepared for space utilizes many options, and is just another part of surviving the rimworld.

The '''toughskin gland''' is an implant added by the [[Royalty DLC]] that gives the host pawn natural armor, in exchange for making them slower.

It is the least protective and has the smallest penalties of the three skin gland implants, being weaker than both the [[armorskin gland|armorskin]] and [[stoneskin gland]]s.

== Acquisition ==
{{Acquisition}}

== Summary ==
Pawns with a toughskin gland implanted in their torso{{Check Tag|Verify}} gain an offset to their intrinsic Sharp/Blunt/Heat Armor by {{P|Armor - Sharp}}/{{P|Armor - Blunt}}/{{P|Armor - Heat}}% respectively. All skin glands, including [[vacskin gland]]s,{{OdysseyIcon}} are mutually exclusive and there are no other sources of intrinsic armor for [[human]]s {{Hover title|Version/1.6.4630|as of the time of writing}}. As such, the base values before the offset is always 0%/0%/0%. Intrinsic armor is considered as its own layer for the purposes of [[Apparel#Protection|armor calculations]] and is the final layer considered after all [[apparel]]. Intrinsic armor still protects body parts replaced by [[artificial body parts]] and body parts that would not logically have skin, such as eyes.

It does not reduce [[pawn beauty]] like the other armor-providing skin glands but it does multiply the pawn's [[moving]] by a factor of {{Bad|x95%}}.

Moving, in turn, affects the following [[stats]]: {{#ask: [[Moving Importance::+]]}}. This results in a directly proportional change to a pawn's [[move speed]], and a change in [[melee dodge chance]] equivalent to losing {{--|{{#expr: {{Q|Melee Dodge Chance|Moving Importance}}*0.05}}}} levels of [[Melee]] skill. Due to how the stat is fit to a post-process curve, this can result in the melee dodge chance dropping to 0% for some pawns with suitably low skill or other moving penalties..

As an artificial part, toughskin glands will give a mood buff to anyone with the [[Body modder]] trait, and a mood penalty to anyone with the [[Body purist]] trait.

=== 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.

Removing the part requires {{Ticks|2500}} of work, 1x medicine of [[Herbal medicine|herbal]] quality or better, and a [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] of 5.

If the operation fails, the part will be destroyed.

== Analysis ==
It provides slight protection, and covers body parts that get little to no armor, such as the eyes and fingers, but its protection is so small that it's often irrelevant. For example, a punch from a normal human with an organic arm deals blunt damage and has an AP of 12%, meaning this gland provides no protection whatsoever from the weakest possible attack from a human. The heat armor is notably better than the other two, offering a 15% chance to avoid being set on fire by most [[flame]] damage attacks but it is still lacklustre.

Players who wish to protect their pawns should usually instead spend their silver or advanced components on proper armor or bionic limbs. A [[bionic arm]] completely removes the need to protect the fingers at all, and a [[recon helmet]] provides three times the sharp armor while covering the eyes.

That being said, there is still a niche for this gland. Nudist colonies and [[ghoul]]s{{AnomalyIcon}} do not wear apparel and thus have very little armor. Therefore, even the minor protection of this gland may be useful. Even then, though, the armor bonus is still so low that players should generally consider the more protective armor glands.

The '''Armorskin Gland''' is an implant added by the [[Royalty DLC]] that gives the host pawn natural armor, in exchange for making them uglier and slower. It is the middle option of the three skin gland implants, with protection and penalties between that of the [[Toughskin gland|toughskin]] and [[Stoneskin gland|stoneskin gland]]s.

== Acquisition ==
{{Acquisition}}

== Summary ==
Pawns with an armorskin gland implanted in their torso{{Check Tag|Verify}} gain an offset to their intrinsic Sharp/Blunt/Heat Armor by {{P|Armor - Sharp}}/{{P|Armor - Blunt}}/{{P|Armor - Heat}}% respectively. All skin glands, including [[vacskin gland]]s,{{OdysseyIcon}} are mutually exclusive and there are no other sources of intrinsic armor for [[human]]s {{Hover title|Version/1.6.4630|as of the time of writing}}. As such, the base values before the offset is always 0%/0%/0%. Intrinsic armor is considered as its own layer for the purposes of [[Apparel#Protection|armor calculations]] and is the final layer considered after all [[apparel]]. Intrinsic armor still protects body parts replaced by [[artificial body parts]] and body parts that would not logically have skin, such as eyes.

It also reduces [[pawn beauty]] by {{--|1}}, potentially resulting in an [[opinion]] malus with other humans that are not [[ascetic]], [[kind]], and [[Sight|blind]] depending on other beauty effects. It also multiplies the pawn's [[moving]] by a factor of {{Bad|x90%}}.

Moving, in turn, affects the following [[stats]]: {{#ask: [[Moving Importance::+]]}}. This results in a directly proportional change to a pawn's [[move speed]], and a change in [[melee dodge chance]] equivalent to losing {{--|{{#expr: {{Q|Melee Dodge Chance|Moving Importance}}*0.1}}}} levels of [[Melee]] skill. Due to how the stat is fit to a post-process curve, this can result in the melee dodge chance dropping to 0% for pawns with skill under 7, when replacing one leg, or under 10 for both legs.

As an artificial part, armorskin glands will give a mood buff to anyone with the [[Body modder]] trait, and a mood penalty to anyone with the [[Body purist]] trait.

=== 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.

Removing the part requires {{Ticks|2500}} of work, 1x medicine of [[Herbal medicine|herbal]] quality or better, and a [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] of 5.

If the operation fails, the part will be destroyed.

== Analysis ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Almost missing analysis. Also ghouls specifically}}
It provides a noticeable amount of protection. Keep in mind that armor penetration usually negates a part of the implant's armor rating, making it less protective than expected.

Psyfocus

2026-04-05T02:11:18Z

Harakoni: /* Dignified */

{{Royalty}}
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Order of operations for calculating meditation gain with base, focus, wakeup, and psymeditative persona weapon - wakeup and psymed are additive with each other, but are they additive or mutiplicative with the others.

Void psyfocus - see [[Meditation Psyfocus Bonus]] until this page is updated}}
{{Quote|Psyfocus is a special type of mental structuring which is necessary to use psychic powers. Psyfocus dissipates over time, and must be built by regular meditation. Losing all psyfocus makes someone unable to use psychics, but has no other consequences. Higher levels of psyfocus permit higher-level powers, but also increase the rate of psyfocus dissipation|In-game Description}}

'''Psyfocus''' is a medium-term limitor of [[psycast]] usage. Psyfocus can be regenerated by meditating.
{{TOCright}}

== Summary ==
Psyfocus is a value ranging from 0% to 100%, obtained by any pawn with a [[psylink]]. Every [[psycast]] immediately consumes a certain percentage of psyfocus. All psyfocus costs are the same for every caster, and unlike [[neural heat]], these costs cannot be bypassed.

Higher level psycasts require a minimum amount of psyfocus to be cast, regardless of their psyfocus cost:
* Level 3-4 psycasts require a minimum of 25% psyfocus
* Level 5-6 psycasts require a minimum of 50% psyfocus

=== Degradation ===
In addition to spending it to use psycasts, psyfocus naturally falls a certain amount per day. The amount depends on current psyfocus:
* Below 25% psyfocus, the psyfocus falls at 3.5% per day,
* Between 25 and 50%, it falls at 5.5% per day
* Above 50%, it falls at 7.5% per day.

== Meditation ==
With a few exceptions, psyfocus can only be gained through '''meditation'''.

Pawns gain a base rate of +50% psyfocus per full day, or +2.08% per hour, of pure meditation. Meditation foci further improve these rates by their listed strength. For example, a wall with the ''Minmalist'' focus increases psyfocus gain by +22%/day, for a total of 72% psyfocus per day. Meditation also counts as Solitary recreation.

Pawns in a caravan will also regenerate psyfocus while remaining stationary or waiting.{{Check Tag|Rate?|How much psyfocus per hour? Add to both Psycasts and Caravan}} This however, does not apply when the caravan is resting due to sleep. This allows for usage of psycasts even while on long caravan journeys, provided some time is taken off to recharge.

A pawn's target psyfocus level can be set using with gizmo on the toolbar while they are selected. The pawn will attempt to maintain that psyfocus level by meditating any time it drops below that value and the pawn is [[schedule]]d for "''Anything''". Meditation can also be performed while scheduled to Recreation or Meditation, where the gizmo does not impact when pawns meditate.

The rate of psyfocus gain from meditation can further be increased in the following ways:
* Using [[Wake-up]] increases the psyfocus gain from meditation by {{+|20%}} per day for the [[Wake-up#Wake-up high|duration of its high]].
* The [[Psy-meditative]] persona trait grants an additional {{+|10%}} psyfocus gain per day of meditation, while the weapon is held in hand.
* Each [[psychofluid pump]]{{BiotechIcon}} increases {{+|5%}} psyfocus per day of meditation from a completed [[deathrest]], up to a maximum of {{+|20%}} from 4 pumps. This bonus lasts until the next deathrest.
* [[Psy-sensitive]] and [[Super psy-sensitive]] genes{{BiotechIcon}} increase psyfocus gain per meditation day by {{+|10%}} and {{+|20%}} respectively. Note that these genes are mutually exclusive.

The maximum meditation psyfocus gain is therefore a non-tribal pawn meditating to a legendary sculpture surrounded by 8 other masterwork sculptures, wielding a Psy-meditative persona weapon, while high on wake-up, having deathrested with 4 psychofluid pumps and with the super psy-sensitive gene. This results in a psyfocus gain per day of meditation of {{#expr:50 + 44 + 10 + 20 + 20 + 20}}% or {{#expr:(50 + 44 + 10 + 20 + 20 + 20)/24 round 1}}% per hour.

Each pawn has one or more meditation types. Each type allows the pawn to use different objects as a focus. A pawn with multiple types can use any type available to them.

== Meditation types ==
=== Natural ===
----
Required: Most tribal Childhood [[Backstories]], including the Tribe Child backstory for any [[children]]{{BiotechIcon}} raised in a [[New Tribe]] start.<br/>Note that as of [[Version/1.3.3117|1.3.3117]], player created backstories do not gain the natural meditation focus even when found on tribal pawns or the backstory is tribal themed. It is unclear if this is intended or a bug.
The following backstories are affected: Accursed Child, Sole Survivor (n.b. '''not''' the generic backstory of the same name), Forest Child.
Additionally the following childhood backstories can be found on pawns that spawn as tribals, but also don't grant the focus: Mad Scientist, Youth Delinquent, Killer, Game Fanatic, Dusty Farm Hand, Ranger Child.

Natural meditation is available to tribal pawns. Natural meditation objects and shrines are most effective when nothing is built nearby - buildings or furniture within 35 tiles will reduce their effectiveness.

'''[[Anima tree]]:'''
[[{{Q|Anima tree|Image}}|64px|left|link=Anima tree]]
Anima trees have a base meditation focus strength of +28%. Each animus stone within 10 tiles increases the meditation effectiveness by +2%, while each small or large natural shrine within 10 tiles increases it by +1%. Up to 4 buildings can affect the tree, for a maximum bonus of +8% for 4 animus stones. Its effectiveness is limited by artificial buildings within a 35 tile radius. Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +36% for an anima tree with no artificial buildings within 35 tiles and surrounded by 4 animus stones. Also note that unlike other natural buildings, meditating at the anima tree also produces anima grass for additional psylink levels for pawns with the natural focus.

'''N.B.''' It is currently unclear if the following values are cut offs, or points in a processed curve fit to those values.

'''[[Animus stone]]:'''
[[{{Q|Animus stone|Image}}|64px|left|link=Animus stone]]
Animus stones have a base meditation focus strength of +34%. Each animus stone within 10 tiles increases the meditation effectiveness by +2%, while each small or large natural shrine within 10 tiles have no effect. Up to 4 additional stones can affect one stone. Like the [[anima tree]] its effectiveness is limited by artificial buildings within a 35 tile radius (be aware that this is 7 tiles beyond the displayed range for the indicator). Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps.

The maximum meditation focus strength is +42% for a Animus stone with no artificial buildings within 35 tiles and surrounded by 4 additional animus stones.

Small nature shrines have a base meditation focus strength of +22%. While each animus stone within 10 tiles will increase the meditation effectiveness by +2% up to 4 stones, pawns will preferentially meditate at the animus stone assuming the meditation spot is in radius of both. Small nature shrines do not give a bonus to animus stones. Like the all natural foci, its effectiveness is limited by artificial buildings within a 35 tile radius. Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +40% for a small nature shrine with no artificial buildings within 35 tiles and surrounded by 4 animus stones as the small nature shrine would be ignored in this scenario. A pawn meditating too far from the animus stones that are on the other side of the shrine would receive a +30% bonus, but the player would be wasting animus stone bonuses.

=== Morbid ===
----
Required: [[Psychopath]], [[Bloodlust]], [[Cannibal (Trait)|Cannibal]], [[Masochist]], [[Jealous]], [[Undergrounder]], [[Tortured artist]]

Morbid meditation is used by pawns with the appropriate traits and requires graves or sarcophagi. Filled graves or sarcophagi are more effective and bodies with a relationship to the meditator are more effective than strangers.

'''[[Grave]]:'''
[[{{Q|Grave|Image}}|64px|left|link=Grave]]
Graves have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +6%. This increases by +10% if the grave is full, and a further +10% if the grave is occupied by a pawn with a relationship to the meditator. It is further increased by being within 10 tiles of up to 4 additional graves or sarcophagi. Each of these 4 grants an additional +1%, or +2% if full, for a maximum bonus of +8%. Note that only the primary grave has to contain a pawn with a relationship to the meditator.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +34% for a grave occupied by a loved one and surrounded by 4 additional full graves or sarcophagi.
{{Clear}}

'''[[Sarcophagus]]:'''
[[{{Q|Sarcophagus|Image}}|64px|left|link=Sarcophagus]]
Sarcophagi have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +10%. This increases by +10% if the sarcophagus is full, and a further +10% if the sarcophagus is occupied by a pawn with a relationship to the meditator. It is further increased by being within 10 tiles of up to 4 additional Graves or Sarcophagi. Each of these 4 grants an additional +1%, or +2% if full, for a maximum bonus of +8%. Note that only the primary sarcophagus has to contain a pawn with a relationship to the meditator.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +38% for a sarcophagus occupied by a loved one and surrounded by 4 additional full graves or sarcophagi.
{{Clear}}

=== Artistic ===
----
Required: Must have a '''non'''-Tribal childhood backstory. Must '''not''' have the [[Ascetic]] trait.{{Check Tag|Any other lockouts?|Traits page claims that multiple other traits (Jealous, for example) will remove this meditation type. Add info here or remove incorrect info there.}}

Artistic focus is the default focus for non-tribal pawns. It uses artwork as a focus, with higher quality art being most effective.

'''[[Small sculpture]] / [[Large sculpture]] / [[Grand sculpture]] / [[Terror sculpture]] {{IdeologyIcon}}:'''
[[{{Q|Small sculpture|Image}}|64px|left|link=Sculptures]]
All sculpture sizes have identical meditation statistics and mechanics. Sculptures have a base Meditation Focus Strength that is dependent on their [[quality]]. Higher quality sculptures have higher strengths, up to a maximum of +28% at legendary quality. Up to 8 additional sculpture of normal quality or better within 10 tiles will each increase this strength by a value dependent on its quality. 8 additional sculptures of masterwork or better can the maximum bonus of +16%. Note, as the focus sculpture's quality has a significantly larger effect than that of the supporting sculpture, it is always better to have the best quality sculpture as the focus.

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

=== Minimal ===
----
Required: [[Ascetic]]

[[Ascetic]]s can meditate with nothing- all they need is a wall. This has the advantage of being practically free and it has a reasonable base effectiveness. However, this cannot be increased; if an ascetic pawn has multiple methods they should optimise and use them instead.

'''[[Wall]]:'''
[[{{Q|Wall|Image}}|64px|left|link=Wall]]
Walls have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +22%. No other modifiers exist for walls as they do for other foci.
{{Clear}}

=== Flame ===
----
Required: [[Pyromaniac]]

[[Pyromaniac]]s can use fire to meditate. All fires must be lit to add focus. While it requires upkeep, this is a cheap and effective method of meditation- the main drawback being the Pyromaniac.

'''[[Brazier]]:'''
[[{{Q|Brazier|Image}}|64px|left|link=Brazier]]
Braziers have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +0% in their unlit state. This increases by +15% when lit. It is further increased by being within 10 tiles of up to 8 additional braziers, torch lamps or campfires. Note that they must be lit to grant the bonus. Each of these 8 grants an additional +2%, for a maximum bonus of 16%.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +31% for a lit brazier surrounded by 8 lit braziers, torch lamps or campfires.

=== Dignified ===
----
Required: [[Title]]

Dignified meditation is used by nobility. It requires a throne and its effectiveness is based on the throne room's quality.

'''[[Meditation throne]] / [[Grand meditation throne]]:'''
[[{{Q|Meditation throne|Image}}|64px|left|link=Throne]]
Both thrones have identical meditation statistics and mechanics. They start with a meditation focus strength of +15%. If it is in a [[Room roles|throne room]] that meets the pawns [[Titles|requirements]], its focus strength is improved by +8%.

Psyfocus gain is further affected by a room's [[impressiveness]], as seen below.

'''N.B.''' The room impressiveness descriptors only relate to descriptors the room will have at that specific value. The descriptors themselves do not control the value. A room with 50 room impressiveness will be listed "Slightly Impressive" but will give less than +4% psyfocus.

The dignified meditation focus has a maximum of +33% psyfocus / day in an Unbelievably impressive room that meets throne requirements.

=== Void ===
{{Anomaly|section=1}}
----
Required: [[Void fascination]], [[Inhumanized]]

Void meditation was added with the Anomaly DLC and is used by pawns who have either become inhumanized or have the Void Fascination trait.

'''[[Void monolith]]:'''
[[{{Q|Void monolith|Image}}|64px|left|link=Void monolith]][[File: Void_Monolith_Awakened_Valid_Meditation_Spots.png|thumb|right|128px|Valid meditation spot positions for the Awakened monolith]]
The void monolith has a base Meditation Focus Strength of +30%. When the monolith is in it's "fallen monolith" state (3x3 as shown in the left image), a [[meditation spot]] placed with any part of the monolith within its radius will allow a pawn to use it as a focus object, however once the monolith is in its later stages (Awakened, 5x5) only the 3 squares directly in front of the monolith will allow the pawn to meditate with it as the focus object (see image on right). It appears that no other modifiers exist for the void monolith as they do for other foci.{{Check Tag|Fact Check Needed}}

'''[[Psychic ritual spot]]:'''
[[{{Q|Psychic ritual spot|Image}}|64px|left|link=Psychic ritual spot]]
Psychic ritual spots have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +8%. For each [[Void sculpture|void sculpture]] in range of the ritual spot, +2% meditation focus is added. This is independent of sculpture quality and stacks up to 6 sculptures. Similarly, for each [[Shard beacon|shard beacon]] in range of the ritual spot, a further +2% meditation focus is added. This can be stacked up to 4 times. Neither the void sculpture nor the shard beacon need to be in range of the meditation spot for the bonus to be in effect, they only have to affect the ritual spot.
Therefore the maximum psyfocus strength to be acquired from a psychic ritual spot is +28% and requires the ritual spot to be surrounded by 6 void sculptures of any quality and 4 shard beacons.
{{Clear}}

== Other ways to increase psyfocus ==
Other than meditation, the following methods will increase a pawn's psyfocus:
* Using [[Go-juice]] instantly refills a psycaster's psyfocus by 15%.
* [[Ideoligion]] [[rituals]] {{IdeologyIcon}} can select the fully refilling the psyfocus of all participants as a reward for sufficiently high quality outcomes.{{Check Tag|Detail|Specific terms, mechanics, details etc. E.g. what outcomes specifically?}} .
* The [[Kill-focused]] persona trait grant an instant 20% psyfocus on killing an enemy. Note that psyfocus is gained for directly killing a pawn. This includes killing wild animals, downed hostiles, friendly NPCs, colonists, and even [[Animals#Slaughtering|slaughtering]] colony animals will grant psyfocus as long as the weapon is held in hand whilst doing so. Age and body size do not affect this rate. Excess colony animals, especially from rapidly-breeding animals such as [[chicken]]s, can thus be turned into into massive psyfocus gain, allowing continuous use of utility psycasts such as [[Word of inspiration]] or [[Word of trust]] or high cost combat options such as [[Berserk pulse]].

{{Quote|Psyfocus is a special type of mental structuring which is necessary to use psychic powers. Psyfocus dissipates over time, and must be built by regular meditation. Losing all psyfocus makes someone unable to use psychics, but has no other consequences. Higher levels of psyfocus permit higher-level powers, but also increase the rate of psyfocus dissipation|In-game Description}}

'''Psyfocus''' is a medium-term limitor of [[psycast]] usage. Psyfocus can be regenerated by meditating.
{{TOCright}}

== Summary ==
Psyfocus is a value ranging from 0% to 100%, obtained by any pawn with a [[psylink]]. Every [[psycast]] immediately consumes a certain percentage of psyfocus. All psyfocus costs are the same for every caster, and unlike [[neural heat]], these costs cannot be bypassed.

Higher level psycasts require a minimum amount of psyfocus to be cast, regardless of their psyfocus cost:
* Level 3-4 psycasts require a minimum of 25% psyfocus
* Level 5-6 psycasts require a minimum of 50% psyfocus

=== Degradation ===
In addition to spending it to use psycasts, psyfocus naturally falls a certain amount per day. The amount depends on current psyfocus:
* Below 25% psyfocus, the psyfocus falls at 3.5% per day,
* Between 25 and 50%, it falls at 5.5% per day
* Above 50%, it falls at 7.5% per day.

== Meditation ==
With a few exceptions, psyfocus can only be gained through '''meditation'''.

Pawns gain a base rate of +50% psyfocus per full day, or +2.08% per hour, of pure meditation. Meditation foci further improve these rates by their listed strength. For example, a wall with the ''Minmalist'' focus increases psyfocus gain by +22%/day, for a total of 72% psyfocus per day. Meditation also counts as Solitary recreation.

Pawns in a caravan will also regenerate psyfocus while remaining stationary or waiting.{{Check Tag|Rate?|How much psyfocus per hour? Add to both Psycasts and Caravan}} This however, does not apply when the caravan is resting due to sleep. This allows for usage of psycasts even while on long caravan journeys, provided some time is taken off to recharge.

A pawn's target psyfocus level can be set using with gizmo on the toolbar while they are selected. The pawn will attempt to maintain that psyfocus level by meditating any time it drops below that value and the pawn is [[schedule]]d for "''Anything''". Meditation can also be performed while scheduled to Recreation or Meditation, where the gizmo does not impact when pawns meditate.

The rate of psyfocus gain from meditation can further be increased in the following ways:
* Using [[Wake-up]] increases the psyfocus gain from meditation by {{+|20%}} per day for the [[Wake-up#Wake-up high|duration of its high]].
* The [[Psy-meditative]] persona trait grants an additional {{+|10%}} psyfocus gain per day of meditation, while the weapon is held in hand.
* Each [[psychofluid pump]]{{BiotechIcon}} increases {{+|5%}} psyfocus per day of meditation from a completed [[deathrest]], up to a maximum of {{+|20%}} from 4 pumps. This bonus lasts until the next deathrest.
* [[Psy-sensitive]] and [[Super psy-sensitive]] genes{{BiotechIcon}} increase psyfocus gain per meditation day by {{+|10%}} and {{+|20%}} respectively. Note that these genes are mutually exclusive.

The maximum meditation psyfocus gain is therefore a non-tribal pawn meditating to a legendary sculpture surrounded by 8 other masterwork sculptures, wielding a Psy-meditative persona weapon, while high on wake-up, having deathrested with 4 psychofluid pumps and with the super psy-sensitive gene. This results in a psyfocus gain per day of meditation of {{#expr:50 + 44 + 10 + 20 + 20 + 20}}% or {{#expr:(50 + 44 + 10 + 20 + 20 + 20)/24 round 1}}% per hour.

Each pawn has one or more meditation types. Each type allows the pawn to use different objects as a focus. A pawn with multiple types can use any type available to them.

== Meditation types ==

----
Required: Most tribal Childhood [[Backstories]], including the Tribe Child backstory for any [[children]]{{BiotechIcon}} raised in a [[New Tribe]] start.<br/>Note that as of [[Version/1.3.3117|1.3.3117]], player created backstories do not gain the natural meditation focus even when found on tribal pawns or the backstory is tribal themed. It is unclear if this is intended or a bug.
The following backstories are affected: Accursed Child, Sole Survivor (n.b. '''not''' the generic backstory of the same name), Forest Child.
Additionally the following childhood backstories can be found on pawns that spawn as tribals, but also don't grant the focus: Mad Scientist, Youth Delinquent, Killer, Game Fanatic, Dusty Farm Hand, Ranger Child.

Natural meditation is available to tribal pawns. Natural meditation objects and shrines are most effective when nothing is built nearby - buildings or furniture within 35 tiles will reduce their effectiveness.

'''[[Anima tree]]:'''
[[{{Q|Anima tree|Image}}|64px|left|link=Anima tree]]
Anima trees have a base meditation focus strength of +28%. Each animus stone within 10 tiles increases the meditation effectiveness by +2%, while each small or large natural shrine within 10 tiles increases it by +1%. Up to 4 buildings can affect the tree, for a maximum bonus of +8% for 4 animus stones. Its effectiveness is limited by artificial buildings within a 35 tile radius. Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +36% for an anima tree with no artificial buildings within 35 tiles and surrounded by 4 animus stones. Also note that unlike other natural buildings, meditating at the anima tree also produces anima grass for additional psylink levels for pawns with the natural focus.

'''[[Animus stone]]:'''
[[{{Q|Animus stone|Image}}|64px|left|link=Animus stone]]
Animus stones have a base meditation focus strength of +34%. Each animus stone within 10 tiles increases the meditation effectiveness by +2%, while each small or large natural shrine within 10 tiles have no effect. Up to 4 additional stones can affect one stone. Like the [[anima tree]] its effectiveness is limited by artificial buildings within a 35 tile radius (be aware that this is 7 tiles beyond the displayed range for the indicator). Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps.

The maximum meditation focus strength is +42% for a Animus stone with no artificial buildings within 35 tiles and surrounded by 4 additional animus stones.

'''[[Small nature shrine]]:'''
[[{{Q|Small nature shrine|Image}}|64px|left|link=Small nature shrine]]
Small nature shrines have a base meditation focus strength of +22%. While each animus stone within 10 tiles will increase the meditation effectiveness by +2% up to 4 stones, pawns will preferentially meditate at the animus stone assuming the meditation spot is in radius of both. Small nature shrines do not give a bonus to animus stones. Like the all natural foci, its effectiveness is limited by artificial buildings within a 35 tile radius. Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +40% for a small nature shrine with no artificial buildings within 35 tiles and surrounded by 4 animus stones as the small nature shrine would be ignored in this scenario. A pawn meditating too far from the animus stones that are on the other side of the shrine would receive a +30% bonus, but the player would be wasting animus stone bonuses.

Large nature shrines do not give a bonus to animus stones. Like the all natural foci, its effectiveness is limited by artificial buildings within a 35 tile radius. Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps.

=== Morbid ===
----
Required: [[Psychopath]], [[Bloodlust]], [[Cannibal (Trait)|Cannibal]], [[Masochist]], [[Jealous]], [[Undergrounder]], [[Tortured artist]]

Morbid meditation is used by pawns with the appropriate traits and requires graves or sarcophagi. Filled graves or sarcophagi are more effective and bodies with a relationship to the meditator are more effective than strangers.

'''[[Grave]]:'''
[[{{Q|Grave|Image}}|64px|left|link=Grave]]
Graves have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +6%. This increases by +10% if the grave is full, and a further +10% if the grave is occupied by a pawn with a relationship to the meditator. It is further increased by being within 10 tiles of up to 4 additional graves or sarcophagi. Each of these 4 grants an additional +1%, or +2% if full, for a maximum bonus of +8%. Note that only the primary grave has to contain a pawn with a relationship to the meditator.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +34% for a grave occupied by a loved one and surrounded by 4 additional full graves or sarcophagi.
{{Clear}}

'''[[Sarcophagus]]:'''
[[{{Q|Sarcophagus|Image}}|64px|left|link=Sarcophagus]]
Sarcophagi have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +10%. This increases by +10% if the sarcophagus is full, and a further +10% if the sarcophagus is occupied by a pawn with a relationship to the meditator. It is further increased by being within 10 tiles of up to 4 additional Graves or Sarcophagi. Each of these 4 grants an additional +1%, or +2% if full, for a maximum bonus of +8%. Note that only the primary sarcophagus has to contain a pawn with a relationship to the meditator.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +38% for a sarcophagus occupied by a loved one and surrounded by 4 additional full graves or sarcophagi.
{{Clear}}

=== Artistic ===
----
Required: Must have a '''non'''-Tribal childhood backstory. Must '''not''' have the [[Ascetic]] trait.{{Check Tag|Any other lockouts?|Traits page claims that multiple other traits (Jealous, for example) will remove this meditation type. Add info here or remove incorrect info there.}}

Artistic focus is the default focus for non-tribal pawns. It uses artwork as a focus, with higher quality art being most effective.

'''[[Small sculpture]] / [[Large sculpture]] / [[Grand sculpture]] / [[Terror sculpture]] {{IdeologyIcon}}:'''
[[{{Q|Small sculpture|Image}}|64px|left|link=Sculptures]]
All sculpture sizes have identical meditation statistics and mechanics. Sculptures have a base Meditation Focus Strength that is dependent on their [[quality]]. Higher quality sculptures have higher strengths, up to a maximum of +28% at legendary quality. Up to 8 additional sculpture of normal quality or better within 10 tiles will each increase this strength by a value dependent on its quality. 8 additional sculptures of masterwork or better can the maximum bonus of +16%. Note, as the focus sculpture's quality has a significantly larger effect than that of the supporting sculpture, it is always better to have the best quality sculpture as the focus.

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

{{Clear}}

'''[[Grand stele]]:'''

{{Clear}}

=== Minimal ===
----
Required: [[Ascetic]]

[[Ascetic]]s can meditate with nothing- all they need is a wall. This has the advantage of being practically free and it has a reasonable base effectiveness. However, this cannot be increased; if an ascetic pawn has multiple methods they should optimise and use them instead.

'''[[Wall]]:'''
[[{{Q|Wall|Image}}|64px|left|link=Wall]]
Walls have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +22%. No other modifiers exist for walls as they do for other foci.
{{Clear}}

=== Flame ===
----
Required: [[Pyromaniac]]

[[Pyromaniac]]s can use fire to meditate. All fires must be lit to add focus. While it requires upkeep, this is a cheap and effective method of meditation- the main drawback being the Pyromaniac.

'''[[Brazier]]:'''
[[{{Q|Brazier|Image}}|64px|left|link=Brazier]]
Braziers have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +0% in their unlit state. This increases by +15% when lit. It is further increased by being within 10 tiles of up to 8 additional braziers, torch lamps or campfires. Note that they must be lit to grant the bonus. Each of these 8 grants an additional +2%, for a maximum bonus of 16%.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +31% for a lit brazier surrounded by 8 lit braziers, torch lamps or campfires.
{{Clear}}

'''[[Campfire]]:'''
[[{{Q|Campfire|Image}}|64px|left|link=Campfire]]
Campfires have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +0% in their unlit state. This increases by +12% when lit. It is further increased by being within 10 tiles of up to 8 additional braziers, torch lamps or campfires. Note that they must be lit to grant the bonus. Each of these 8 grants an additional +2%, for a maximum bonus of +16%.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +28% for a lit campfire surrounded by 8 lit braziers, torch lamps or campfires.

Each of these 8 grants an additional +1%, for a maximum bonus of +8%.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +18% for a lit torch lamp surrounded by 8 lit braziers, torch lamps or campfires.

=== Dignified ===
----
Required: [[Title]]

Dignified meditation is used by nobility. It requires a throne and its effectiveness is based on the throne room's quality.

'''[[Meditation throne]] / [[Grand meditation throne]]:'''
[[{{Q|Meditation throne|Image}}|64px|left|link=Throne]]
Both thrones have identical meditation statistics and mechanics. They start with a meditation focus strength of +15%. If it is in a [[Room roles|throne room]] that meets the pawns [[Titles|requirements]], its focus strength is improved by +8%.

Psyfocus gain is further affected by a room's [[impressiveness]], as seen below.

'''N.B.''' The room impressiveness descriptors only relate to descriptors the room will have at that specific value. The descriptors themselves do not control the value. A room with 50 room impressiveness will be listed "Slightly Impressive" but will give less than +4% psyfocus.

The dignified meditation focus has a maximum of +33% psyfocus / day in an Unbelievably impressive room that meets throne requirements.

== Other ways to increase psyfocus ==
Other than meditation, the following methods will increase a pawn's psyfocus:
* Using [[Go-juice]] instantly refills a psycaster's psyfocus by 15%.
* [[Ideoligion]] [[rituals]] {{IdeologyIcon}} can select the fully refilling the psyfocus of all participants as a reward for sufficiently high quality outcomes.{{Check Tag|Detail|Specific terms, mechanics, details etc. E.g. what outcomes specifically?}} .
* The [[Kill-focused]] persona trait grant an instant 20% psyfocus on killing an enemy. Note that psyfocus is gained for directly killing a pawn. This includes killing wild animals, downed hostiles, friendly NPCs, colonists, and even [[Animals#Slaughtering|slaughtering]] colony animals will grant psyfocus as long as the weapon is held in hand whilst doing so. Age and body size do not affect this rate. Excess colony animals, especially from rapidly-breeding animals such as [[chicken]]s, can thus be turned into into massive psyfocus gain, allowing continuous use of utility psycasts such as [[Word of inspiration]] or [[Word of trust]] or high cost combat options such as [[Berserk pulse]].

{{Quote|Psyfocus is a special type of mental structuring which is necessary to use psychic powers. Psyfocus dissipates over time, and must be built by regular meditation. Losing all psyfocus makes someone unable to use psychics, but has no other consequences. Higher levels of psyfocus permit higher-level powers, but also increase the rate of psyfocus dissipation|In-game Description}}

'''Psyfocus''' is a medium-term limitor of [[psycast]] usage. Psyfocus can be regenerated by meditating.
{{TOCright}}

== Summary ==
Psyfocus is a value ranging from 0% to 100%, obtained by any pawn with a [[psylink]]. Every [[psycast]] immediately consumes a certain percentage of psyfocus. All psyfocus costs are the same for every caster, and unlike [[neural heat]], these costs cannot be bypassed.

Higher level psycasts require a minimum amount of psyfocus to be cast, regardless of their psyfocus cost:
* Level 3-4 psycasts require a minimum of 25% psyfocus
* Level 5-6 psycasts require a minimum of 50% psyfocus

=== Degradation ===
In addition to spending it to use psycasts, psyfocus naturally falls a certain amount per day. The amount depends on current psyfocus:
* Below 25% psyfocus, the psyfocus falls at 3.5% per day,
* Between 25 and 50%, it falls at 5.5% per day
* Above 50%, it falls at 7.5% per day.

== Meditation ==
With a few exceptions, psyfocus can only be gained through '''meditation'''.

Pawns gain a base rate of +50% psyfocus per full day, or +2.08% per hour, of pure meditation. Meditation foci further improve these rates by their listed strength. For example, a wall with the ''Minmalist'' focus increases psyfocus gain by +22%/day, for a total of 72% psyfocus per day. Meditation also counts as Solitary recreation.

Pawns in a caravan will also regenerate psyfocus while remaining stationary or waiting.{{Check Tag|Rate?|How much psyfocus per hour? Add to both Psycasts and Caravan}} This however, does not apply when the caravan is resting due to sleep. This allows for usage of psycasts even while on long caravan journeys, provided some time is taken off to recharge.

A pawn's target psyfocus level can be set using with gizmo on the toolbar while they are selected. The pawn will attempt to maintain that psyfocus level by meditating any time it drops below that value and the pawn is [[schedule]]d for "''Anything''". Meditation can also be performed while scheduled to Recreation or Meditation, where the gizmo does not impact when pawns meditate.

The rate of psyfocus gain from meditation can further be increased in the following ways:
* Using [[Wake-up]] increases the psyfocus gain from meditation by {{+|20%}} per day for the [[Wake-up#Wake-up high|duration of its high]].
* The [[Psy-meditative]] persona trait grants an additional {{+|10%}} psyfocus gain per day of meditation, while the weapon is held in hand.
* Each [[psychofluid pump]]{{BiotechIcon}} increases {{+|5%}} psyfocus per day of meditation from a completed [[deathrest]], up to a maximum of {{+|20%}} from 4 pumps. This bonus lasts until the next deathrest.
* [[Psy-sensitive]] and [[Super psy-sensitive]] genes{{BiotechIcon}} increase psyfocus gain per meditation day by {{+|10%}} and {{+|20%}} respectively. Note that these genes are mutually exclusive.

The maximum meditation psyfocus gain is therefore a non-tribal pawn meditating to a legendary sculpture surrounded by 8 other masterwork sculptures, wielding a Psy-meditative persona weapon, while high on wake-up, having deathrested with 4 psychofluid pumps and with the super psy-sensitive gene. This results in a psyfocus gain per day of meditation of {{#expr:50 + 44 + 10 + 20 + 20 + 20}}% or {{#expr:(50 + 44 + 10 + 20 + 20 + 20)/24 round 1}}% per hour.

Each pawn has one or more meditation types. Each type allows the pawn to use different objects as a focus. A pawn with multiple types can use any type available to them.

== Meditation types ==
=== Natural ===
----
Required: Most tribal Childhood [[Backstories]], including the Tribe Child backstory for any [[children]]{{BiotechIcon}} raised in a [[New Tribe]] start.<br/>Note that as of [[Version/1.3.3117|1.3.3117]], player created backstories do not gain the natural meditation focus even when found on tribal pawns or the backstory is tribal themed. It is unclear if this is intended or a bug.
The following backstories are affected: Accursed Child, Sole Survivor (n.b. '''not''' the generic backstory of the same name), Forest Child.
Additionally the following childhood backstories can be found on pawns that spawn as tribals, but also don't grant the focus: Mad Scientist, Youth Delinquent, Killer, Game Fanatic, Dusty Farm Hand, Ranger Child.

Natural meditation is available to tribal pawns. Natural meditation objects and shrines are most effective when nothing is built nearby - buildings or furniture within 35 tiles will reduce their effectiveness.

'''[[Anima tree]]:'''
[[{{Q|Anima tree|Image}}|64px|left|link=Anima tree]]
Anima trees have a base meditation focus strength of +28%. Each animus stone within 10 tiles increases the meditation effectiveness by +2%, while each small or large natural shrine within 10 tiles increases it by +1%. Up to 4 buildings can affect the tree, for a maximum bonus of +8% for 4 animus stones. Its effectiveness is limited by artificial buildings within a 35 tile radius. Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +36% for an anima tree with no artificial buildings within 35 tiles and surrounded by 4 animus stones. Also note that unlike other natural buildings, meditating at the anima tree also produces anima grass for additional psylink levels for pawns with the natural focus.

'''N.B.''' It is currently unclear if the following values are cut offs, or points in a processed curve fit to those values.

Animus stones have a base meditation focus strength of +34%. Each animus stone within 10 tiles increases the meditation effectiveness by +2%, while each small or large natural shrine within 10 tiles have no effect. Up to 4 additional stones can affect one stone. Like the [[anima tree]] its effectiveness is limited by artificial buildings within a 35 tile radius (be aware that this is 7 tiles beyond the displayed range for the indicator). Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps.

The maximum meditation focus strength is +42% for a Animus stone with no artificial buildings within 35 tiles and surrounded by 4 additional animus stones.

'''[[Small nature shrine]]:'''
[[{{Q|Small nature shrine|Image}}|64px|left|link=Small nature shrine]]
Small nature shrines have a base meditation focus strength of +22%. While each animus stone within 10 tiles will increase the meditation effectiveness by +2% up to 4 stones, pawns will preferentially meditate at the animus stone assuming the meditation spot is in radius of both. Small nature shrines do not give a bonus to animus stones. Like the all natural foci, its effectiveness is limited by artificial buildings within a 35 tile radius. Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +40% for a small nature shrine with no artificial buildings within 35 tiles and surrounded by 4 animus stones as the small nature shrine would be ignored in this scenario. A pawn meditating too far from the animus stones that are on the other side of the shrine would receive a +30% bonus, but the player would be wasting animus stone bonuses.

Large nature shrines have a base meditation focus strength of +30%.

Large nature shrines do not give a bonus to animus stones. Like the all natural foci, its effectiveness is limited by artificial buildings within a 35 tile radius. Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +40% for a small nature shrine with no artificial buildings within 35 tiles and surrounded by 4 animus stones as the large nature shrine would be ignored in this scenario. A pawn meditating too far from the animus stones that are on the other side of the shrine would receive a +38% bonus, but the player would be wasting animus stone bonuses.

=== Morbid ===
----
Required: [[Psychopath]], [[Bloodlust]], [[Cannibal (Trait)|Cannibal]], [[Masochist]], [[Jealous]], [[Undergrounder]], [[Tortured artist]]

Morbid meditation is used by pawns with the appropriate traits and requires graves or sarcophagi. Filled graves or sarcophagi are more effective and bodies with a relationship to the meditator are more effective than strangers.

'''[[Grave]]:'''
[[{{Q|Grave|Image}}|64px|left|link=Grave]]
Graves have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +6%. This increases by +10% if the grave is full, and a further +10% if the grave is occupied by a pawn with a relationship to the meditator. It is further increased by being within 10 tiles of up to 4 additional graves or sarcophagi. Each of these 4 grants an additional +1%, or +2% if full, for a maximum bonus of +8%. Note that only the primary grave has to contain a pawn with a relationship to the meditator.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +34% for a grave occupied by a loved one and surrounded by 4 additional full graves or sarcophagi.
{{Clear}}

'''[[Sarcophagus]]:'''
[[{{Q|Sarcophagus|Image}}|64px|left|link=Sarcophagus]]
Sarcophagi have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +10%. This increases by +10% if the sarcophagus is full, and a further +10% if the sarcophagus is occupied by a pawn with a relationship to the meditator. It is further increased by being within 10 tiles of up to 4 additional Graves or Sarcophagi. Each of these 4 grants an additional +1%, or +2% if full, for a maximum bonus of +8%. Note that only the primary sarcophagus has to contain a pawn with a relationship to the meditator.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +38% for a sarcophagus occupied by a loved one and surrounded by 4 additional full graves or sarcophagi.
{{Clear}}

=== Artistic ===
----
Required: Must have a '''non'''-Tribal childhood backstory. Must '''not''' have the [[Ascetic]] trait.{{Check Tag|Any other lockouts?|Traits page claims that multiple other traits (Jealous, for example) will remove this meditation type. Add info here or remove incorrect info there.}}

Artistic focus is the default focus for non-tribal pawns. It uses artwork as a focus, with higher quality art being most effective.

'''[[Small sculpture]] / [[Large sculpture]] / [[Grand sculpture]] / [[Terror sculpture]] {{IdeologyIcon}}:'''
[[{{Q|Small sculpture|Image}}|64px|left|link=Sculptures]]
All sculpture sizes have identical meditation statistics and mechanics. Sculptures have a base Meditation Focus Strength that is dependent on their [[quality]]. Higher quality sculptures have higher strengths, up to a maximum of +28% at legendary quality. Up to 8 additional sculpture of normal quality or better within 10 tiles will each increase this strength by a value dependent on its quality. 8 additional sculptures of masterwork or better can the maximum bonus of +16%. Note, as the focus sculpture's quality has a significantly larger effect than that of the supporting sculpture, it is always better to have the best quality sculpture as the focus.

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

=== Minimal ===
----
Required: [[Ascetic]]

[[Ascetic]]s can meditate with nothing- all they need is a wall. This has the advantage of being practically free and it has a reasonable base effectiveness. However, this cannot be increased; if an ascetic pawn has multiple methods they should optimise and use them instead.

'''[[Wall]]:'''
[[{{Q|Wall|Image}}|64px|left|link=Wall]]
Walls have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +22%. No other modifiers exist for walls as they do for other foci.
{{Clear}}

=== Flame ===
----
Required: [[Pyromaniac]]

[[Pyromaniac]]s can use fire to meditate. All fires must be lit to add focus. While it requires upkeep, this is a cheap and effective method of meditation- the main drawback being the Pyromaniac.

'''[[Brazier]]:'''
[[{{Q|Brazier|Image}}|64px|left|link=Brazier]]
Braziers have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +0% in their unlit state. This increases by +15% when lit. It is further increased by being within 10 tiles of up to 8 additional braziers, torch lamps or campfires. Note that they must be lit to grant the bonus. Each of these 8 grants an additional +2%, for a maximum bonus of 16%.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +31% for a lit brazier surrounded by 8 lit braziers, torch lamps or campfires.

=== Void ===
----
Required: [[Void fascination]], [[Inhumanized]]

Void meditation was added with the Anomaly DLC and is used by pawns who have either become inhumanized or have the Void Fascination trait.

'''[[Void monolith]]:'''
[[{{Q|Void monolith|Image}}|64px|left|link=Void monolith]][[File: Void_Monolith_Awakened_Valid_Meditation_Spots.png|thumb|right|128px|Valid meditation spot positions for the Awakened monolith]]
The void monolith has a base Meditation Focus Strength of +30%. When the monolith is in it's "fallen monolith" state (3x3 as shown in the left image), a [[meditation spot]] placed with any part of the monolith within its radius will allow a pawn to use it as a focus object, however once the monolith is in its later stages (Awakened, 5x5) only the 3 squares directly in front of the monolith will allow the pawn to meditate with it as the focus object (see image on right). It appears that no other modifiers exist for the void monolith as they do for other foci.{{Check Tag|Fact Check Needed}}

'''[[Psychic ritual spot]]:'''
[[{{Q|Psychic ritual spot|Image}}|64px|left|link=Psychic ritual spot]]
Psychic ritual spots have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +8%. For each [[Void sculpture|void sculpture]] in range of the ritual spot, +2% meditation focus is added. This is independent of sculpture quality and stacks up to 6 sculptures. Similarly, for each [[Shard beacon|shard beacon]] in range of the ritual spot, a further +2% meditation focus is added. This can be stacked up to 4 times. Neither the void sculpture nor the shard beacon need to be in range of the meditation spot for the bonus to be in effect, they only have to affect the ritual spot.
Therefore the maximum psyfocus strength to be acquired from a psychic ritual spot is +28% and requires the ritual spot to be surrounded by 6 void sculptures of any quality and 4 shard beacons.
{{Clear}}

=== Dignified ===
----
Required: [[Title]]

Dignified meditation is used by nobility. It requires a throne and its effectiveness is based on the throne room's quality.

'''[[Meditation throne]] / [[Grand meditation throne]]:'''
[[{{Q|Meditation throne|Image}}|64px|left|link=Throne]]
Both thrones have identical meditation statistics and mechanics. They start with a meditation focus strength of +15%. If it is in a [[Room roles|throne room]] that meets the pawns [[Titles|requirements]], its focus strength is improved by +8%.

Psyfocus gain is further affected by a room's [[impressiveness]], as seen below.

'''N.B.''' The room impressiveness descriptors only relate to descriptors the room will have at that specific value. The descriptors themselves do not control the value. A room with 50 room impressiveness will be listed "Slightly Impressive" but will give less than +4% psyfocus.

The dignified meditation focus has a maximum of +33% psyfocus / day in an Unbelievably impressive room that meets throne requirements.

== Other ways to increase psyfocus ==
Other than meditation, the following methods will increase a pawn's psyfocus:
* Using [[Go-juice]] instantly refills a psycaster's psyfocus by 15%.
* [[Ideoligion]] [[rituals]] {{IdeologyIcon}} can select the fully refilling the psyfocus of all participants as a reward for sufficiently high quality outcomes.{{Check Tag|Detail|Specific terms, mechanics, details etc. E.g. what outcomes specifically?}} .
* The [[Kill-focused]] persona trait grant an instant 20% psyfocus on killing an enemy. Note that psyfocus is gained for directly killing a pawn. This includes killing wild animals, downed hostiles, friendly NPCs, colonists, and even [[Animals#Slaughtering|slaughtering]] colony animals will grant psyfocus as long as the weapon is held in hand whilst doing so. Age and body size do not affect this rate. Excess colony animals, especially from rapidly-breeding animals such as [[chicken]]s, can thus be turned into into massive psyfocus gain, allowing continuous use of utility psycasts such as [[Word of inspiration]] or [[Word of trust]] or high cost combat options such as [[Berserk pulse]].

{{Stub|section=1|reason=Void focus mediation bonus to spots}}
[[File:Psychic ritual spot radii.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The sterile tile radius denotes all valid placements for shard beacons, note that it is not the same as the displayed radius]]
Each beacon within 10 tiles of a [[psychic ritual spot]] provides an {{+|8%}} bonus to [[psychic ritual quality]], up to a maximum of {{+|32%}} with the four closest beacons. Note that each beacon can affect multiple psychic ritual spots.

== Analysis ==
{{Stub|section =1|reason=Worked examples with math would be valuable}}
Shard beacons represent a significant improvement to the efficacy of [[psychic rituals]], making them much more efficient for a one-time investment. Any colony making frequent use of rituals should invest in beacons eventually.

The primary concern is the cost of a [[shard]] per beacon. Shards can be in short supply even when encountered regularly as they have a number of powerful uses. When to invest becomes a balancing act that depends on the focus of a colony - a colony using rituals as soon as they leave cooldown may build beacons as soon as they have infused a couple of [[ghoul]]s, while less frequent users can stand to delay for other infrastructure especially if they have particularly [[psychic sensitivity|psychically sensitive]] invokers to make up the short fall.

{{Stub|section=1|reason=Void focus mediation bonus to spots}}
[[File:Psychic ritual spot radii.jpg|thumb|left|The sterile tile radius denotes all valid placements for void sculptures, note that it is not the same as the displayed radius]]
Void sculptures provide a bonus to the [[psychic ritual quality|quality]] of [[psychic rituals]] when placed within range of the [[psychic ritual spot]] used.

The bonus to ritual quality scales with the quality of the sculpture as follows:
{| {{STDT| c_07 text-center}}
! [[Quality]]

|-
! Awful
| {{+|1%}}
|-

|}
Up to 6 sculptures can be linked to a single spot, for a hypothetical limit of {{+|30%}} with all legendaries.

If more than 6 sculptures are nearby, the sculptures nearest to the psychic ritual spot will be selected, not the sculptures with the highest quality.

Void sculptures have the Artistic mediation psyfocus type. It's Meditation psyfocus bonus uses the same mechanics and values as regular [[sculpture]]s. However Void sculptures do not add to the bonus for additional nearby sculptures for either Void or regular sculptures, while regular sculptures do for both.{{Check Tag|Focus strength?}}

== Analysis ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Value proposition, when to build etc}}
Because a ritual spot can only have 6 void sculptures linked to it, it is important to maximize quality. Provided enough high-quality sculptures, it is possible to reach the cap of 100% ritual quality, dramatically improving the outcome of the ritual.

Note that traders will not buy void sculptures, so if you're going to mass-produce them in order to maximize quality, it is recommended to deconstruct low-quality sculptures to reduce bioferrite loss.

A '''Psychic ritual spot''' is a building added by the [[Anomaly DLC]]. It allows the player's colonists to commune with the void for [[psychic rituals]].

== Acquisition ==
Psychic ritual spots do not require a colonist to construct or [[deconstruct]], nor is there a cost, build time, or [[skill]] requirements for placing them. Instead, they are simply selected from the menu and placed directly by the player. On top of the spot itself, the surrounding tiles must also be free of any structures that would obstruct pawns or prevent them from standing there to place, and the ritual spot itself will not be usable if such obstructions are placed afterwards.

It is unlocked via the Void Provocation dark research.

== Summary ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Void focus mediation}}
[[File:Psychic ritual spot radii.jpg|thumb|left|The sterile tile radius denotes all valid placements for [[void sculpture]]s and [[shard beacon]]s, note that it is not the same as the displayed radius]]
The Psychic ritual spot is used in performing all Psychic Rituals, which are unlocked from Anomaly research. Each ritual requires one pawn to be the Invoker, with up to four or six additional colonists able to participate as Chanters, depending on the ritual. All rituals except for Void Provocation also require either [[Bioferrite]] or a [[Shard]] which is consumed at the completion of the ritual, and rituals targeting a specific pawn require the pawn to able to walk or be carried to the ritual site, though they do not need to be conscious. [[Ghoul]]s and Psychically Deaf pawns cannot be a participant '''nor''' the target of a ritual.

[[Children]]{{BiotechIcon}} may participate in rituals in any position as long as they are not babies. The only exception is the [[Chronophagy]] ritual, where they cannot be the Invoker nor the target.

The quality of any ritual is based on the following factors.

* The [[psychic sensitivity]] of the Invoker. An Invoker with 100% Sensitivity will grant a {{+|12%}} bonus, this increases logarithmically up to a maximum of {{+|25%}} at 281% sensitivity.
* The number of Chanters. filling all spots (whether there are four or six) grants a {{+|20%}} bonus, with each pawn contributing an equal portion of the bonus.
* The number '''and''' [[Quality]] of any nearby [[void sculpture]]s, up to six sculptures. Normal and Good give {{+|2%}} each, Excellent and Masterwork gives {{+|3%}} each and legendary gives {{+|5%}}.
* The number of nearby [[shard beacon]]s. Each beacon provides an {{+|8%}} bonus, to a max of {{+|32%}} at four Beacons.
* Psychic ritual quality offset from the Psychic Ritual [[Precept]]{{IdeologyIcon}}. Invokers and Chanters with Exalted Psychic Rituals will increase the quality by {{+|10%}} * (Number of pawns with precept/Number of pawns participating), while pawns with the Disapproved precept will reduce it by {{--|10%}} * (Number of pawns with precept/Number of pawns participating)

The psychic ritual spot has a Void meditation type base 8% increased by 2% per shard beacon max 4 beacons, and 2% per void sculpture max 6 sculptures for at most 28% Meditation psyfocus bonus.

'''Holding spots''' are [[spot]]s added by the [[Anomaly DLC]] that allow for the [[containment]] of some [[entities]].

They can be considered the basic counterpart to the more advanced [[holding platform]].

== Acquisition ==
Holding spots do not require a colonist to construct or [[deconstruct]], nor is there a cost, build time, or [[skill]] requirements for placing them. Instead, they are simply selected from the menu and placed directly by the player.

== Summary ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Void focus mediation}}
{{Recode|section=1|reason=#Ask for what entities can be held here vs must be held on a platform}}
{{See also|Containment}}
Holding spots can be used to contain [[entities]]. To do this, an entity must be [[downed]] or otherwise capturable, then brought into the spot. A holding spot provides {{Bad|x70%}} [[containment]] when compared to a [[holding platform]].

Each additional holding spot or platform in a room inflicts a roughly {{--|10%}} exponential cumulative penalty to all holding platforms in the same room. 

== Analysis ==
Holding spots can be useful as temporary entity containment before a [[holding platform]] can be built. They can also be suitable for entities that are permanently [[downed]] or unable to break out, such as a [[toughspike]] with both legs destroyed, as extra containment score for them is not required, although containment will still improve study rate.

Since holding spots can be deconstructed instantly, a potential strategy is to build holding spots in combat locations, then deconstruct them to unleash [[entities]] on raiders. Due to the difficulty of capturing and containing entities in large numbers, do not expect them to handle raiders on their own. Using [[deadlife dust]] to ressurect dead entities is a safer, less tedious, and more effective way of using entities to the colony's advantage.

'''Holding platforms''' are [[buildings]] added by the [[Anomaly DLC]] that allow for the [[containment]] of some [[entities]].

They can be considered the upgraded form of the [[holding spot]].

== Acquisition ==
{{Acquisition}}

== Summary ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Void focus mediation}}
=== Formula ===
Below is the formula for containment strength without any modifiers.

{| class="wikitable
|-
| Containment strength = Current Average Door {{HP}} + Current Average Wall HP + (Average Light Level (%) * 100/10) (ɪꜰ[Active [[shard inhibitor]] ] {{--|20}} ᴇʟꜱᴇ +0) - electric(-10) inhibitor - active bioferrite harvester(-15) - electroharvesters(-25)
|}
Where current HP is the HP accounting for any damage to the building.

== Analysis ==
The holding platform is the more advanced version of the [[holding spot]], providing {{Good|x142%}} more [[containment]], which in turn reduces escape chance and improves study rate. The extra containment can help counteract the penalty from [[bioferrite harvester|harvesting]] [[electroharvester|resources]] from entities.

When making a holding cell, it is also important to keep in mind the walls and doors of the room. It is recommended to keep platforms in rooms surrounded by [[stone]] walls or better. A room out of a mountain is a very cheap way to boost containment. Multiple entities can be contained within the same room at the cost of weakening the containment strength. Lowering the [[temperature]] will also inhibit certain types of enities ([[fleshbeast]]s, [[shambler]]s, [[ghoul]]s) while not boosting the escape rate of any other entity.

=== Containing entities without proper containment level ===
If an entity has enough brain damage, gets both/all of its legs/moving body parts destroyed, or otherwise loses enough of its [[moving]] or [[consciousness]] to permanently [[down]] it, the escape interval reduces to "never". This allows you to safely store the entity anywhere, as long as it can't regenerate permanent damage. As such, this strategy won't work with [[ghoul]]s, but will work with nearly any [[fleshbeast]], [[sightstealer]], and [[noctol]], with all of them allowing you to gain effectively infinite research, [[bioferrite]] and, in some cases, [[power]] at no cost. Some entities will eventually die if used with an [[electroharvester]].

The '''harbinger tree''' is a [[tree]] added by the [[Anomaly DLC]] that consumes [[meat]] and [[corpse]]s to fuel their own growth.

== Occurrence ==
Harbinger trees can spawn randomly from an event after activating the [[void monolith]], spawned by the [[void provocation]] psychic ritual, or can be planted via a [[harbinger seed]] which can be acquired as a [[quest]] reward or bought from traders.

== Summary ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Void focus mediation}}
Harbinger trees consume [[corpse]]s, [[meat]], and [[skull]]s placed around them. They can eat both rotten and fresh corpses, as well as all forms of raw meat (including [[insect meat|insect]], [[human meat|human]], [[twisted meat|twisted]]). Harbinger trees will not consume [[pemmican]] or [[meals]] of any type.

Items fed to the harbinger tree are covered in fleshy roots, although this effect is merely cosmetic; they can still freely be hauled away or picked up. Every {{ticks|5000}}, valid targets within the tree's consumption radius will be partially consumed:
* Corpses will have random body parts digested, and will eventually be destroyed when no parts remain. All gear worn by consumed corpses is destroyed alongside them, similar to [[Electric crematorium|cremation]].
* Meat will simply be destroyed outright, with anywhere between 4-12 meat being consumed in any given interval.

Harbinger trees will consume nutrition even during their resting period. Growth rate is increased by 150% while the tree actively consuming something, regardless of the quantity or variety of targets. Its consumption radius increases as it grows, linearly interpolated from 3.9 tiles at or below 15% growth to 5.9 tiles at or above 85% growth.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
| [[File:Create Corpse Stockpile.png|frameless|none]] || When you select a harbinger tree, a UI button for creating a corpse stockpile appears.

This button creates a [[dumping stockpile]] around the tree, within the consumption radius of the tree.

By default, it accepts almost all corpses, whether fresh or rotten:
* Human corpses, except [[unnatural corpse]]s
* Animal corpses
* Entity corpses
* [[Drone]] {{OdysseyIcon}} corpses (despite not being able to be digested by harbinger trees)
By default, it does not accept:
* [[Mechanoid]] corpses
|}

When fully grown and harvested, harbinger trees provide {{Icon Small|Twisted meat||30}} [[twisted meat]] and a base amount of {{Icon Small|Bioferrite||15}} [[bioferrite]]. Trees that are destroyed through other means will still yield twisted meat, but no bioferrite. Twisted meat yield scales linearly with the tree's growth progress and is unaffected by [[AI_Storytellers#Economy|harvest yield]] modifiers from difficulty or a pawn's individual [[Plant Harvest Yield]], but the amount of bioferrite harvested is affected by both.

Harbinger trees are not dangerous in any way and, despite their flavor text, do not cause any events or phenomena beyond consuming corpses and meat.

Despite both being [[dendrovore]]s, [[thrumbo]]s will not eat harbinger trees, while [[alphabeaver]]s will.

Lastly, Harbinger trees do not require sunlight to survive.

=== Reproduction ===
Each harbinger tree tracks the nutrition it has consumed, setting a random growth threshold between 70 and 100 nutrition upon first creation. When a tree reaches its threshold, it will immediately spawn a new sapling, regardless of whether the original tree is fully grown. Its total consumed nutrition is then reset to 0, and its threshold is rerolled. This can be used to build large forests of harbinger trees to destroy corpses and gain resources. Note that rotten and desiccated corpses have 0 nutrition and thus do not contribute to the spawning of new trees. As a result, waiting too long to dispose of the corpses from a raid can lead to a massive loss of potential nutrition.

A fresh adult human corpse with no missing body parts will provide a harbinger tree 5.2 nutrition, meaning that between 13.46 and 19.23 corpses are needed for each new harbinger tree. A single piece of meat has a nutrition of 0.05, requiring between 1,400 and 2,000 meat total to spawn a new tree. The new tree will attempt to spawn near the one that created it, but it will appear elsewhere on the map if a nearby tile is not available. The closest a new tree will spawn is within 4 orthogonal tiles of the original. The new tree will not spawn within 2 tiles of a wall but can spawn adjacent to player-placed floors.

== Analysis ==
Harbinger trees provide a low-tech, resource-free way to get rid of corpses without using fire or an [[electric crematorium]]. No labor is required except for that which is required to haul the corpses to the tree itself. Tribal or low-tech settlements may find it useful for reducing the number of potential [[shambler]]s on the map if a [[death pall]] occurs; while shamblers can still reanimate from corpses in the process of being consumed, they will often be weakened due to missing body parts that will not regenerate upon reanimation.

Later on, harbinger trees can be used as a source of [[twisted meat]] for mid- and late-game recipes like the [[juggernaut serum]] without having to fight and butcher dangerous entities like [[fleshbeast]]s. It is impractical to farm harbinger trees using meat farmed from ranching or hunting, although colonies experiencing massive raids may be able to meet their serum production needs off the yield from harbinger trees alone. A single [[fleshmass nucleus]] produces significantly more twisted meat in a more consistent manner, but requires regular suppression and defeating a [[fleshmass heart]] to acquire.

Typical growth times and daily bioferrite yield for an unfed harbinger tree can be found below:

{{Grow Table}}

Keeping the harbinger tree well-fed will dramatically increase overall yield. The fastest theoretical growth time - attainable by planting a harbinger tree on rich soil and feeding it constantly - would be {{#expr: {{#var:RGD}} / (((1.4-1)*{{#var:FS}}) + 1) / 1.5 round 2}} days, for a total yield of {{Icon Small|Bioferrite||{{#expr: {{Q|Harbinger tree|Harvest Yield Per Day (140)}} * 1.5}} bioferrite per day}} and {{Icon Small|Twisted meat||{{#expr: {{Q|Harbinger tree|Harvest Yield Per Day (140)}} * 3}} twisted meat per day}}.

Psyfocus

2026-04-05T01:54:10Z

Harakoni: /* Void */

{{Royalty}}
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Order of operations for calculating meditation gain with base, focus, wakeup, and psymeditative persona weapon - wakeup and psymed are additive with each other, but are they additive or mutiplicative with the others.

Void psyfocus - see [[Meditation Psyfocus Bonus]] until this page is updated}}
{{Quote|Psyfocus is a special type of mental structuring which is necessary to use psychic powers. Psyfocus dissipates over time, and must be built by regular meditation. Losing all psyfocus makes someone unable to use psychics, but has no other consequences. Higher levels of psyfocus permit higher-level powers, but also increase the rate of psyfocus dissipation|In-game Description}}

'''Psyfocus''' is a medium-term limitor of [[psycast]] usage. Psyfocus can be regenerated by meditating.
{{TOCright}}

== Summary ==
Psyfocus is a value ranging from 0% to 100%, obtained by any pawn with a [[psylink]]. Every [[psycast]] immediately consumes a certain percentage of psyfocus. All psyfocus costs are the same for every caster, and unlike [[neural heat]], these costs cannot be bypassed.

Higher level psycasts require a minimum amount of psyfocus to be cast, regardless of their psyfocus cost:
* Level 3-4 psycasts require a minimum of 25% psyfocus
* Level 5-6 psycasts require a minimum of 50% psyfocus

=== Degradation ===
In addition to spending it to use psycasts, psyfocus naturally falls a certain amount per day. The amount depends on current psyfocus:
* Below 25% psyfocus, the psyfocus falls at 3.5% per day,
* Between 25 and 50%, it falls at 5.5% per day
* Above 50%, it falls at 7.5% per day.

== Meditation ==
With a few exceptions, psyfocus can only be gained through '''meditation'''.

Pawns gain a base rate of +50% psyfocus per full day, or +2.08% per hour, of pure meditation. Meditation foci further improve these rates by their listed strength. For example, a wall with the ''Minmalist'' focus increases psyfocus gain by +22%/day, for a total of 72% psyfocus per day. Meditation also counts as Solitary recreation.

Pawns in a caravan will also regenerate psyfocus while remaining stationary or waiting.{{Check Tag|Rate?|How much psyfocus per hour? Add to both Psycasts and Caravan}} This however, does not apply when the caravan is resting due to sleep. This allows for usage of psycasts even while on long caravan journeys, provided some time is taken off to recharge.

A pawn's target psyfocus level can be set using with gizmo on the toolbar while they are selected. The pawn will attempt to maintain that psyfocus level by meditating any time it drops below that value and the pawn is [[schedule]]d for "''Anything''". Meditation can also be performed while scheduled to Recreation or Meditation, where the gizmo does not impact when pawns meditate.

The rate of psyfocus gain from meditation can further be increased in the following ways:
* Using [[Wake-up]] increases the psyfocus gain from meditation by {{+|20%}} per day for the [[Wake-up#Wake-up high|duration of its high]].
* The [[Psy-meditative]] persona trait grants an additional {{+|10%}} psyfocus gain per day of meditation, while the weapon is held in hand.
* Each [[psychofluid pump]]{{BiotechIcon}} increases {{+|5%}} psyfocus per day of meditation from a completed [[deathrest]], up to a maximum of {{+|20%}} from 4 pumps. This bonus lasts until the next deathrest.
* [[Psy-sensitive]] and [[Super psy-sensitive]] genes{{BiotechIcon}} increase psyfocus gain per meditation day by {{+|10%}} and {{+|20%}} respectively. Note that these genes are mutually exclusive.

The maximum meditation psyfocus gain is therefore a non-tribal pawn meditating to a legendary sculpture surrounded by 8 other masterwork sculptures, wielding a Psy-meditative persona weapon, while high on wake-up, having deathrested with 4 psychofluid pumps and with the super psy-sensitive gene. This results in a psyfocus gain per day of meditation of {{#expr:50 + 44 + 10 + 20 + 20 + 20}}% or {{#expr:(50 + 44 + 10 + 20 + 20 + 20)/24 round 1}}% per hour.

Each pawn has one or more meditation types. Each type allows the pawn to use different objects as a focus. A pawn with multiple types can use any type available to them.

== Meditation types ==
=== Natural ===
----
Required: Most tribal Childhood [[Backstories]], including the Tribe Child backstory for any [[children]]{{BiotechIcon}} raised in a [[New Tribe]] start.<br/>Note that as of [[Version/1.3.3117|1.3.3117]], player created backstories do not gain the natural meditation focus even when found on tribal pawns or the backstory is tribal themed. It is unclear if this is intended or a bug.
The following backstories are affected: Accursed Child, Sole Survivor (n.b. '''not''' the generic backstory of the same name), Forest Child.
Additionally the following childhood backstories can be found on pawns that spawn as tribals, but also don't grant the focus: Mad Scientist, Youth Delinquent, Killer, Game Fanatic, Dusty Farm Hand, Ranger Child.

Natural meditation is available to tribal pawns. Natural meditation objects and shrines are most effective when nothing is built nearby - buildings or furniture within 35 tiles will reduce their effectiveness.

'''[[Anima tree]]:'''
[[{{Q|Anima tree|Image}}|64px|left|link=Anima tree]]
Anima trees have a base meditation focus strength of +28%. Each animus stone within 10 tiles increases the meditation effectiveness by +2%, while each small or large natural shrine within 10 tiles increases it by +1%. Up to 4 buildings can affect the tree, for a maximum bonus of +8% for 4 animus stones. Its effectiveness is limited by artificial buildings within a 35 tile radius. Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +36% for an anima tree with no artificial buildings within 35 tiles and surrounded by 4 animus stones. Also note that unlike other natural buildings, meditating at the anima tree also produces anima grass for additional psylink levels for pawns with the natural focus.

'''N.B.''' It is currently unclear if the following values are cut offs, or points in a processed curve fit to those values.

Each animus stone within 10 tiles increases the meditation effectiveness by +2%, while each small or large natural shrine within 10 tiles have no effect. Up to 4 additional stones can affect one stone. Like the [[anima tree]] its effectiveness is limited by artificial buildings within a 35 tile radius (be aware that this is 7 tiles beyond the displayed range for the indicator). Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps.

The maximum meditation focus strength is +42% for a Animus stone with no artificial buildings within 35 tiles and surrounded by 4 additional animus stones.

'''N.B.''' It is currently unclear if the following values are cut offs, or points in a processed curve fit to those values.

'''[[Small nature shrine]]:'''
[[{{Q|Small nature shrine|Image}}|64px|left|link=Small nature shrine]]
Small nature shrines have a base meditation focus strength of +22%. While each animus stone within 10 tiles will increase the meditation effectiveness by +2% up to 4 stones, pawns will preferentially meditate at the animus stone assuming the meditation spot is in radius of both. Small nature shrines do not give a bonus to animus stones. Like the all natural foci, its effectiveness is limited by artificial buildings within a 35 tile radius. Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +40% for a small nature shrine with no artificial buildings within 35 tiles and surrounded by 4 animus stones as the small nature shrine would be ignored in this scenario. A pawn meditating too far from the animus stones that are on the other side of the shrine would receive a +30% bonus, but the player would be wasting animus stone bonuses.

'''[[Large nature shrine]]:'''
[[{{Q|Large nature shrine|Image}}|64px|left|link=Large nature shrine]]
Large nature shrines have a base meditation focus strength of +30%. While each animus stone within 10 tiles will increase the meditation effectiveness by +2% up to 4 stones, pawns will preferentially meditate at the animus stone assuming the meditation spot is in radius of both. Large nature shrines do not give a bonus to animus stones. Like the all natural foci, its effectiveness is limited by artificial buildings within a 35 tile radius. Note that this does not include flooring and torch lamps.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +40% for a small nature shrine with no artificial buildings within 35 tiles and surrounded by 4 animus stones as the large nature shrine would be ignored in this scenario. A pawn meditating too far from the animus stones that are on the other side of the shrine would receive a +38% bonus, but the player would be wasting animus stone bonuses.

=== Morbid ===
----
Required: [[Psychopath]], [[Bloodlust]], [[Cannibal (Trait)|Cannibal]], [[Masochist]], [[Jealous]], [[Undergrounder]], [[Tortured artist]]

Morbid meditation is used by pawns with the appropriate traits and requires graves or sarcophagi. Filled graves or sarcophagi are more effective and bodies with a relationship to the meditator are more effective than strangers.

'''[[Grave]]:'''
[[{{Q|Grave|Image}}|64px|left|link=Grave]]
Graves have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +6%. This increases by +10% if the grave is full, and a further +10% if the grave is occupied by a pawn with a relationship to the meditator. It is further increased by being within 10 tiles of up to 4 additional graves or sarcophagi. Each of these 4 grants an additional +1%, or +2% if full, for a maximum bonus of +8%. Note that only the primary grave has to contain a pawn with a relationship to the meditator.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +34% for a grave occupied by a loved one and surrounded by 4 additional full graves or sarcophagi.
{{Clear}}

'''[[Sarcophagus]]:'''
[[{{Q|Sarcophagus|Image}}|64px|left|link=Sarcophagus]]
Sarcophagi have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +10%. This increases by +10% if the sarcophagus is full, and a further +10% if the sarcophagus is occupied by a pawn with a relationship to the meditator. It is further increased by being within 10 tiles of up to 4 additional Graves or Sarcophagi. Each of these 4 grants an additional +1%, or +2% if full, for a maximum bonus of +8%. Note that only the primary sarcophagus has to contain a pawn with a relationship to the meditator.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +38% for a sarcophagus occupied by a loved one and surrounded by 4 additional full graves or sarcophagi.
{{Clear}}

=== Artistic ===
----
Required: Must have a '''non'''-Tribal childhood backstory. Must '''not''' have the [[Ascetic]] trait.{{Check Tag|Any other lockouts?|Traits page claims that multiple other traits (Jealous, for example) will remove this meditation type. Add info here or remove incorrect info there.}}

Artistic focus is the default focus for non-tribal pawns. It uses artwork as a focus, with higher quality art being most effective.

'''[[Small sculpture]] / [[Large sculpture]] / [[Grand sculpture]] / [[Terror sculpture]] {{IdeologyIcon}}:'''
[[{{Q|Small sculpture|Image}}|64px|left|link=Sculptures]]
All sculpture sizes have identical meditation statistics and mechanics. Sculptures have a base Meditation Focus Strength that is dependent on their [[quality]]. Higher quality sculptures have higher strengths, up to a maximum of +28% at legendary quality. Up to 8 additional sculpture of normal quality or better within 10 tiles will each increase this strength by a value dependent on its quality. 8 additional sculptures of masterwork or better can the maximum bonus of +16%. Note, as the focus sculpture's quality has a significantly larger effect than that of the supporting sculpture, it is always better to have the best quality sculpture as the focus.

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

=== Minimal ===
----
Required: [[Ascetic]]

[[Ascetic]]s can meditate with nothing- all they need is a wall. This has the advantage of being practically free and it has a reasonable base effectiveness. However, this cannot be increased; if an ascetic pawn has multiple methods they should optimise and use them instead.

'''[[Wall]]:'''
[[{{Q|Wall|Image}}|64px|left|link=Wall]]
Walls have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +22%. No other modifiers exist for walls as they do for other foci.
{{Clear}}

=== Flame ===
----
Required: [[Pyromaniac]]

[[Pyromaniac]]s can use fire to meditate. All fires must be lit to add focus. While it requires upkeep, this is a cheap and effective method of meditation- the main drawback being the Pyromaniac.

'''[[Brazier]]:'''
[[{{Q|Brazier|Image}}|64px|left|link=Brazier]]
Braziers have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +0% in their unlit state. This increases by +15% when lit. It is further increased by being within 10 tiles of up to 8 additional braziers, torch lamps or campfires. Note that they must be lit to grant the bonus. Each of these 8 grants an additional +2%, for a maximum bonus of 16%.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +31% for a lit brazier surrounded by 8 lit braziers, torch lamps or campfires.
{{Clear}}

'''[[Campfire]]:'''
[[{{Q|Campfire|Image}}|64px|left|link=Campfire]]
Campfires have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +0% in their unlit state. This increases by +12% when lit. It is further increased by being within 10 tiles of up to 8 additional braziers, torch lamps or campfires. Note that they must be lit to grant the bonus. Each of these 8 grants an additional +2%, for a maximum bonus of +16%.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +28% for a lit campfire surrounded by 8 lit braziers, torch lamps or campfires.

Each of these 8 grants an additional +1%, for a maximum bonus of +8%.

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus +18% for a lit torch lamp surrounded by 8 lit braziers, torch lamps or campfires.
{{Clear}}

=== Void ===
----
Required: [[Void fascination]], [[Inhumanized]]

Void meditation was added with the Anomaly DLC and is used by pawns who have either become inhumanized or have the Void Fascination trait.

'''[[Void monolith]]:'''
[[{{Q|Void monolith|Image}}|64px|left|link=Void monolith]][[File: Void_Monolith_Awakened_Valid_Meditation_Spots.png|thumb|right|128px|Valid meditation spot positions for the Awakened monolith]]
The void monolith has a base Meditation Focus Strength of +30%. When the monolith is in it's "fallen monolith" state (3x3 as shown in the left image), a [[meditation spot]] placed with any part of the monolith within its radius will allow a pawn to use it as a focus object, however once the monolith is in its later stages (Awakened, 5x5) only the 3 squares directly in front of the monolith will allow the pawn to meditate with it as the focus object (see image on right). It appears that no other modifiers exist for the void monolith as they do for other foci.{{Check Tag|Fact Check Needed}}
{{Clear}}

'''[[Harbinger tree]]:'''
[[{{Q|Harbinger tree|Image}}|64px|left|link=Harbinger tree]]
Harbinger trees have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +14%. It appears that no other modifiers exist for harbinger trees as they do for other foci.{{Check Tag|Fact Check Needed}}
{{Clear}}

'''[[Holding platform]]:'''
[[{{Q|Holding platform|Image}}|64px|left|link=Holding platform]]
Holding platforms loaded with a captured [[Entities|entity]] have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +16%. The type of entity captured has no affect on this modifier. [[Holding spot|Holding spots]] work identically. Empty platforms/spots do not offer any meditation focus. It appears that no other modifiers exist for holding platforms as they do for other foci.{{Check Tag|Fact Check Needed}}
{{Clear}}

'''[[Psychic ritual spot]]:'''
[[{{Q|Psychic ritual spot|Image}}|64px|left|link=Psychic ritual spot]]
Psychic ritual spots have a base Meditation Focus Strength of +8%. For each [[Void sculpture|void sculpture]] in range of the ritual spot, +2% meditation focus is added. This is independent of sculpture quality and stacks up to 6 sculptures. Similarly, for each [[Shard beacon|shard beacon]] in range of the ritual spot, a further +2% meditation focus is added. This can be stacked up to 4 times. Neither the void sculpture nor the shard beacon need to be in range of the meditation spot for the bonus to be in effect, they only have to affect the ritual spot.
Therefore the maximum psyfocus strength to be acquired from a psychic ritual spot is +28% and requires the ritual spot to be surrounded by 6 void sculptures of any quality and 4 shard beacons.
{{Clear}}

=== Dignified ===
----
Required: [[Title]]

Dignified meditation is used by nobility. It requires a throne and its effectiveness is based on the throne room's quality.

'''[[Meditation throne]] / [[Grand meditation throne]]:'''
[[{{Q|Meditation throne|Image}}|64px|left|link=Throne]]
Both thrones have identical meditation statistics and mechanics. They start with a meditation focus strength of +15%. If it is in a [[Room roles|throne room]] that meets the pawns [[Titles|requirements]], its focus strength is improved by +8%.

Psyfocus gain is further affected by a room's [[impressiveness]], as seen below.

'''N.B.''' The room impressiveness descriptors only relate to descriptors the room will have at that specific value. The descriptors themselves do not control the value. A room with 50 room impressiveness will be listed "Slightly Impressive" but will give less than +4% psyfocus.

The dignified meditation focus has a maximum of +33% psyfocus / day in an Unbelievably impressive room that meets throne requirements.

== Other ways to increase psyfocus ==
Other than meditation, the following methods will increase a pawn's psyfocus:
* Using [[Go-juice]] instantly refills a psycaster's psyfocus by 15%.
* [[Ideoligion]] [[rituals]] {{IdeologyIcon}} can select the fully refilling the psyfocus of all participants as a reward for sufficiently high quality outcomes.{{Check Tag|Detail|Specific terms, mechanics, details etc. E.g. what outcomes specifically?}} .
* The [[Kill-focused]] persona trait grant an instant 20% psyfocus on killing an enemy. Note that psyfocus is gained for directly killing a pawn. This includes killing wild animals, downed hostiles, friendly NPCs, colonists, and even [[Animals#Slaughtering|slaughtering]] colony animals will grant psyfocus as long as the weapon is held in hand whilst doing so. Age and body size do not affect this rate. Excess colony animals, especially from rapidly-breeding animals such as [[chicken]]s, can thus be turned into into massive psyfocus gain, allowing continuous use of utility psycasts such as [[Word of inspiration]] or [[Word of trust]] or high cost combat options such as [[Berserk pulse]].

== Version history ==
* [[Version/1.2.2719|1.2.2719]] - Fix: Just claimed artificial structures don't affect nature focus objects.
* [[Version/1.3.3200|1.3.3200]] - Fix: Psyfocus ritual reward does not recharge psyfocus to max.
* [[Version/1.4.3558|1.4.3558]] - Tribal [[babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} becoming [[children]]{{BiotechIcon}} get natural meditation focus.
* [[Version/1.4.3563|1.4.3563]] - Fix: [[Children]]{{BiotechIcon}} generated at [[New Tribe|tribal game start]] don't have [[Psyfocus|natural meditation focus]].{{RoyaltyIcon}}

Harakoni: /* Creepjoiner traits */

{| align=center
| {{Character_Properties_Nav}}
|}
<hr>

[[File:traits_preview.png|right]]'''Traits''' personalize and add flavor to your colonists by granting a wide variety of special bonuses or conditions to their day to day activities, and so encourage more complex player-conceived stories based on those individual characters. Traits provide physical or psychological abilities or limitations, likes/dislikes, behavior tendencies, personality quirks, and so on. Some are beneficial, some are harmful to the colonist or your colony as a whole. Some are constant, some only rarely triggered. Some can be more or less easily negated or manipulated to your advantage by catering to them (or denying them), others are more problematic or outright dangerous.

== Mechanics ==
Only humans have traits. Most humans have 1-3 traits, with the possibility of an "extra" sexuality trait. Adults cannot gain new traits, and there is no way to remove traits.

[[Children]]{{BiotechIcon}} usually only have a number of traits no higher than the number of [[growth moment]]s they have reached, and babies have none. Children can attain a new trait every time they reach a new growth moment (birthdays 7, 10, and 13).

=== Trait acquisition ===

When a human is generated, it acquires traits according to this process:

* First, the pawn gains any traits that its "pawn kind" requires. ''For example, the titular mechanitor{{BiotechIcon}} of [[Scenario_system#Default_Scenarios|The Mechanitor]] start scenario always has the [[Recluse]] trait.''
* Second, if the pawn is being generated for a quest, it gains any traits required by the quest. ''For example, the imperiled noble from the [[Quests#Noble_Wimp|Noble Wimp]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} quest always has the [[Wimp]] trait.''
* Traits from the pawn's [[backstories]] are then acquired, unless they would conflict with the pawn's "pawn kind". ''For example, a pawn with a backstory composed of the [[Backstories/Tribal_Child|Cave Child]] childhood and the [[Backstories/Tribal_Adult|Scout]] adulthood would have the [[Undergrounder]] and [[Jogger]] traits. However, a hypothetical backstory that grants the Brawler trait will not grant it if the pawn is a "tribal archer", as that pawn kind specifically prohibits the Brawler trait.''
* A trait count limit is chosen, based on the pawn's age. [[Babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} and [[children]] under seven years of age have a limit of 0 traits; children with 7-9 birthdays, 1 trait; children with 10-12 birthdays, 1-2 traits; and anyone older, 1-3 traits, with no bias towards any particular number. If the pawn's current number of traits is lower than the trait limit, each 'missing' trait is filled in by a random trait, weighed based on each trait's commonality. The randomly gained traits cannot be any of the following:
** Any sexuality trait ([[Asexual]], [[Bisexual]], or [[Gay]])
** [[Wimp]], but only if the pawn is from a [[faction]] hostile to the player's faction
** Any that the pawn already has
** Any that conflict with a trait the pawn already has
** Any prohibited by the pawn's "pawn kind" or backstories
** Any that would disable a work type required by the pawn's "pawn kind"
** Any that requires a work type disabled for the pawn
** Any that would cause the pawn's minor [[mental break threshold]] to rise above 50%
* If the pawn is at least 13 years old, their sexuality is then determined. If the pawn has any romantic or ex-romantic relationship with someone of the same gender, they acquire the Gay trait. Otherwise, they may be Asexual, Bisexual, Gay, or straight (which is not a trait, merely an absence of the three sexuality traits). The random choice is weighted by each sexuality trait's commonality, or in the case of 'straight/no sexuality trait', weighted by the sum commonality of every non-sexuality trait that the pawn does not currently have. Note that since the [[Biotech DLC]] adds two traits with non-zero commonalities, sexuality traits are marginally rarer if Biotech is enabled.
* Afterward, the pawn's [[xenotype]]{{BiotechIcon}} (if any) is determined. If [[Traits#Trait-affecting_genes|certain genes]] are present, this can affect the pawn's trait set, either adding or suppressing traits.
* If the [[Scenario_system#Voluntary_parts|starting scenario forces any traits]], the pawn gains any such traits. The "Forced trait" scenario part can be configured to apply to all pawns in the game, only the player's starting pawns, or only non-player pawns; it can also be configured to have a chance to trigger per pawn between 0-100%.
* Finally, if the pawn is a [[creepjoiner]],{{AnomalyIcon}} it gains any traits granted by its benefit and/or downside.

=== Starting possessions ===
{{Move|section=1|destination = Pawn selection|reason=While some of this info can likely be kept in this page, most of it should move to [[Game_Creation|Pawn selection]] once that page has been created}}
Certain traits may influence the initial possessions of your colonists in the Pawn selection menu (either for [[Game_Creation|creating a new game]] or [[Endings#Colony_End|selecting new colonists after a game over]]). Unless you have chosen the [[Scenario_system#Default_Scenarios|Naked Brutality]] start scenario or used the Scenario Editor to add the "no possessions" scenario part, each such colonist may have up to two possessions in their inventory. A stack of items counts as 1 possession. Possessions for each colonist are generated in the following order, ending prematurely if the colonist has two possessions:

* [[Ghoul]]s{{AnomalyIcon}} never have possessions.
* [[Babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} have between 30-40 units of baby food.
* If the colonist is addicted to a drug, they have enough of the drug to satiate the addiction for roughly 25-35 days.
* If the colonist has a [[Genes#Drugs|genetic drug dependency]],{{BiotechIcon}} they have enough of the drug to satiate the dependency for roughly 25-35 days.
* If the colonist has [[hemogenic]] gene,{{BiotechIcon}} they have 8-12 [[hemogen pack]]s.
* If the colonist has an adulthood backstory that can grant possessions, there is a 25% chance for them to have those possessions. Note that, should a backstory be capable of granting multiple possessions, this process will still stop once the colonist has two possessions, and the backstory's possessions are always granted in the order they are defined in the backstory.
* '''Traits are accounted for only after all the above steps have been performed'''. There is a 25% chance for a colonist to receive possessions based on their [[Traits#Trait-affecting_genes|non-suppressed traits]]. As with backstories, it is possible for this step to stop midway through once the colonist has two possessions; possessions are always granted in the order the traits present themselves, and per-trait they are granted in the order they are defined in the trait. ''For example, a pawn with the Psychopath trait has a 25% chance to gain a skull and a heart, but a pawn who already has a prior stack of [[flake]] due to a flake addiction would have a 25% chance to only gain a skull.''
* If the colonist still has less than two possessions, there is a 6% chance for them to have a random possession. The list of possible possessions is lengthy, but does not include every possible item in the game.

=== Trait-affecting genes ===
{{Biotech|section=1}}
Certain genes can modify a pawn's traits, either by forcing a trait to be added or suppressing a trait. Forced traits function as normal, though they are visible in the pawn's Bio tab in pale blue text. Suppressed traits do not have any effects, but are still visible in the pawn's Bio tab in dark grey text.

If a forced trait would ordinarily conflict with non-genetically forced trait(s) the pawn already has, the latter is/are suppressed. If it would ordinarily conflict with genetic trait(s) the pawn already has, the latter is/are removed. If a trait-granting gene is removed, the trait will also be removed (unless the pawn already has the trait independent of genes); this un-suppresses any traits it had suppressed which are not suppressed by another gene or trait, and restores any genetically-forced traits that were removed by that gene and which do not conflict with any other trait the pawn has (including suppressed traits). This almost always leads to intuitive results, with one exception: if a pawn has the psychically hyper/sensitive trait, also has the psychically dull/deaf gene in their germline (e.g. due to being a [[Yttakin]]), and then has the other psychic sensitivity trait gene in their xenogenes... removal of the xenogene will remove the trait it forces, but it will also not result in the restoration of the other gene's trait and will not un-suppress the psychically hyper/sensitive trait.

== General traits ==
These traits are generalized into groups, organized roughly by topic but there are no such groupings laid out formally in the game. There are no relations or prohibitions between traits grouped together here unless noted (e.g. a colonist cannot be both "ascetic", wanting a minimal bedroom, ''and'' "jealous" of those with better bedrooms).

* The Gay/Bisexual/Asexual sexuality traits are unique in that they are the only ones that can generate after the 3 trait limit, resulting in rare pawns with 4 traits.
* See also the [[#Beauty|Beauty]] category of traits, below.

== Spectrum traits ==
Theses are groups of related traits, that are inter-related and grouped by degree, creating a "spectrum" of good/bad/better/worse in that specific sphere of behaviour. A colonist can only have one trait from any single related spectrum for these traits, defining whether they are notably outside the norm for, for example, movement speed, or drug interest, or their physical (un)attractiveness.

=== Drug desire ===
These traits affect a colonist's likelihood to consume drugs.

Note that despite the common misconception, chemical fascination and interest pawns no longer randomly go on [[mental break|drug binges]] independent of [[mood]].

! Chemical fascination
| NAME is utterly fascinated with chemical sources of enjoyment.

{{Main|Beauty (Pawn)}}
These traits influence a colonist's appearance and how it affects other colonists' opinions of them - as well as sexual attractiveness.

Each point of beauty corresponds to +20 opinion from other colonists, e.g. a colonist with 2 beauty will have +40 opinion, while another with -1 beauty will have -20.

== Creepjoiner traits ==
{{Anomaly|section=1}}
These traits are never randomly assigned to pawns. They are normally found on [[creepjoiner]]s, and therefore have powerful positive or negative effects to balance out the other strengths and weaknesses creepjoiners have.

=== Positive traits ===
These traits are considered benefits, to compensate whatever mysterious downside haunts the creepjoiner.

{| {{STDT| sortable c_08 }}
! Name

|- id="Perfect memory"
! Perfect memory
| NAME has outstanding memory, both in terms of retaining information but also muscle memory. His/Her skills will never decay.

|- id="Occultist"

A Joyous pawn will not grant its mood bonus to anyone it is currently hostile to.<br>Always and only spawns on creepjoiners with the "Joybringer" benefit, which precludes the "Disturbing" downside.
|- id="Body mastery"
! Body mastery
| NAME doesn't have basic needs like eating, sleeping, or comfort. His/Her body is driven by some unknown mechanism, which has turned his/her eyes completely white.
| [[Saturation|Food]], [[Sleep]], and [[Comfort]] needs disabled.
* If all pawns in a [[caravan]] have either this trait, a [[circadian half-cycler]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} or the [[never sleep]] gene,{{BiotechIcon}} and they travel without animals, they don't need to [[Caravan#Caravan schedule|stop at night]].
Note: Because a pawn's mood is partially averaged by their needs, having less needs can render them more prone to mood swings. <br>Eyes are white
|-
|}

=== Negative traits ===
These traits are downsides, meant to counterblance the creepjoiner's powerful benefits. Note that, unlike most other creepjoiner drawbacks, these traits are never hidden; as such, you be assured there are no other nasty surprises waiting for you.

Inhumanized

2026-04-05T01:39:23Z

Harakoni: Oh its already done

{{Anomaly}}
{{Spoiler}}
The inhumanized hediff removes both the upsides and downsides of comfort, social relationships, beauty, and outdoors, while also providing a permanent mood buff, decreasing pain, and decreasing skill in [[Skills#Animals|animals]], [[Artistic|art]], and [[Skills#Social|social]].

== Ways to become inhumanized ==
Pawns from the [[Horax cult]] can spawn already inhumanized but all other pawns must acquire it elsewhere.

=== Anomaly ending ===
When you finish the Anomaly ending, you can choose between two different endings. If you choose the [[Endings#Ending_-_Embrace_the_Void|embrace the void]] ending, a pawn of your choosing becomes inhumanized, among other things.
===Inhumanization: Required===
{{Ideology|section=1}}
Pawns who are part of an [[ideoligion]] with the [[Ideoligion#Inhumanizing|Inhumanizing: Required]] precept and who are not inhumanized have access to the [[Mental_break#Humanity_break|humanity break]] mental break. The first mood-based mental break of non-inhumanized pawns is replaced with the humanity break, which instantly inhumanizes them (beware that [[Frenzy_inducer|frenzy inducer]] overwrites humanity break to the berserk one). Inhumanized pawns can't use the humanity break, whether they became inhumanized before or after they joined your colony. With the Inhumanizing: Required precept, pawns who aren't inhumanized have the {{Thought|desc=I'm ashamed of my humanity. I want to embrace the void but I fear it.|label=Human shame|value=-8|stack=1}} moodlet. Pawns who are inhumanized have the {{Thought|desc=The vibrations of reality pulse into me and soothe everything.|label=Void pleasure|value=+8|stack=1}} moodlet instead.<br/>
In a sense, this precept is a protection from mental breaks, as all pawns who aren't inhumanized can't use any mental breaks other than humanity break. Pawns who are already inhumanized have a {{+|8}} mood and don't care about a lot of things that normal pawns do, making them harder to break as well.

== Effects ==
* [[Pain]]: {{Good|-50%}}. Note that this is an offset, not a multiplier.
* Nullifies all [[opinion]]s of others.
* Disables most [[social]] interactions.
* {{Good|{{Temperature|-16||delta}}}} [[Minimum comfortable temperature]]
* {{Bad|-12}} [[Animals skill]]
* {{Bad|-12}} [[Artistic|Artistic skill]]
* {{Bad|-12}} [[Social skill]]
* The colonist will randomly mutter, like [[creepjoiner]]s with "Disturbing" drawback do, which upsets other colonists with a stackable {{--|2}} mood debuff (debuff does not affect any other '''Inhumanized''' colonists)
* Disables the need for beauty
* Disables the need for outdoors
* Nullifies a large number of [[thoughts]], most notably familial and bonded animal deaths, the vast majority of social interactions, and many overlapping similarities with the [[Psychopath]] trait
* Permanent {{Thought|desc=The vibrations of reality pulse into me and soothe everything.|label=Void pleasure|value=+8|stack=1}}
* Enables [[Psyfocus#Void|Void meditation focus]].
* Receives a {{Thought|desc=The truth finally comes and swallows this false world.|label=Unnatural Sky|value=+5|stack=1}} buff while in lit areas during [[unnatural darkness]], instead of the {{Thought|desc=I am suffocated under a blanket of darkness.|label=Unnatural Darkness|value=-5|stack=1}} that other pawns get. They still recieve the {{Thought|desc=The darkness is suffocating. I can't see or think!|label=Swallowed by darkness|value=-10|stack=1}} in dark areas as normal.
* Inhumanized pawns receive no mood debuff for eating [[twisted meat]] raw or as an ingredient in meals. Inhumanization only affects the debuffs for Twisted Meat, so such pawns will still receive the mood penalty if forced to eat Insect Meat, Human Meat, Fungus, Nutrient Paste, or other raw foods without an overriding ideological [[Precept]] or [[Gene]]. 
It is possible to remove the hediff with the Brainwipe [[psychic ritual]].

== Analysis ==
Inhumanization significantly narrows the inputs that affect a colonist's mood. Inhumanized pawns no longer have a beauty or outdoors need, meaning that they will happily toil away in cold filthy underground tunnels without complaint. It is worth noting that this means Inhumanized pawns will also be unable to gain the mood boost from beautiful environments, and that beauty is one of the four factors in determining room impressiveness which still affects Inhumanized pawn's mood.

Having no social opinions can lead to a reduction in social fights and mental breaks after a loved one passes away, but also prevents positive thoughts from social ties. The void pleasure buff sits between [[optimist]] and [[sanguine]] in magnitude and generally ensures that Inhumanized pawns are content.

The massive skill penalty to the Social skill makes recruiting and converting prisoners more difficult, as it can be very difficult to keep your [[Ideoligion#Moral_guide|Moral Guide]] from having Inhumanization mental breaks with the {{Bad|-8}} mood penalty from the Inhumanization: Required precept. Inhumanized pawns will also get worse trade prices.

Ranching is significantly more difficult as non-domesticated animals have a [[Minimum Handling Skill]] starting at 4, meaning that an Inhumanized pawn would require an animal skill of 16 to tame animals such as [[Turkey]]s, or [[Wild boar]]s, and a skill of 17 to tame [[Boomalope]]s. Taming animals with a wildness above 80% such as [[Megasloth]]s, [[Thrumbo]]s, and [[Rhinoceros]]es is impossible for Inhumanized pawns without the aid of a [[Sentience catalyst]]{{OdysseyIcon}} or genetic aptitude bonuses{{BiotechIcon}}. Training already tamed animals is restricted by the same stat, meaning that previously tamed animals with a handling requirement above what your pawns possess will slowly lose skills and eventually become wild animals once more.

While the "Observed corpse" thought is removed, "Observed Rotting Corpse" is '''not''' removed, meaning you cannot simply toss all corpses to the side with reckless disregard.

Inhumanized

2026-04-05T01:36:17Z

Harakoni: /* Effects */

{{Anomaly}}
{{Spoiler}}
The inhumanized hediff removes both the upsides and downsides of comfort, social relationships, beauty, and outdoors, while also providing a permanent mood buff, decreasing pain, and decreasing skill in [[Skills#Animals|animals]], [[Artistic|art]], and [[Skills#Social|social]].

== Ways to become inhumanized ==
Pawns from the [[Horax cult]] can spawn already inhumanized but all other pawns must acquire it elsewhere.

=== Anomaly ending ===
When you finish the Anomaly ending, you can choose between two different endings. If you choose the [[Endings#Ending_-_Embrace_the_Void|embrace the void]] ending, a pawn of your choosing becomes inhumanized, among other things.
===Inhumanization: Required===
{{Ideology|section=1}}
Pawns who are part of an [[ideoligion]] with the [[Ideoligion#Inhumanizing|Inhumanizing: Required]] precept and who are not inhumanized have access to the [[Mental_break#Humanity_break|humanity break]] mental break. The first mood-based mental break of non-inhumanized pawns is replaced with the humanity break, which instantly inhumanizes them (beware that [[Frenzy_inducer|frenzy inducer]] overwrites humanity break to the berserk one). Inhumanized pawns can't use the humanity break, whether they became inhumanized before or after they joined your colony. With the Inhumanizing: Required precept, pawns who aren't inhumanized have the {{Thought|desc=I'm ashamed of my humanity. I want to embrace the void but I fear it.|label=Human shame|value=-8|stack=1}} moodlet. Pawns who are inhumanized have the {{Thought|desc=The vibrations of reality pulse into me and soothe everything.|label=Void pleasure|value=+8|stack=1}} moodlet instead.<br/>
In a sense, this precept is a protection from mental breaks, as all pawns who aren't inhumanized can't use any mental breaks other than humanity break. Pawns who are already inhumanized have a {{+|8}} mood and don't care about a lot of things that normal pawns do, making them harder to break as well.

== Effects ==
* [[Pain]]: {{Good|-50%}}. Note that this is an offset, not a multiplier.
* Nullifies all [[opinion]]s of others.
* Disables most [[social]] interactions.
* {{Good|{{Temperature|-16||delta}}}} [[Minimum comfortable temperature]]
* {{Bad|-12}} [[Animals skill]]
* {{Bad|-12}} [[Artistic|Artistic skill]]
* {{Bad|-12}} [[Social skill]]
* The colonist will randomly mutter, like [[creepjoiner]]s with "Disturbing" drawback do, which upsets other colonists with a stackable {{--|2}} mood debuff (debuff does not affect any other '''Inhumanized''' colonists)
* Disables the need for beauty
* Disables the need for outdoors
* Nullifies a large number of [[thoughts]], most notably familial and bonded animal deaths, the vast majority of social interactions, and many overlapping similarities with the [[Psychopath]] trait
* Permanent {{Thought|desc=The vibrations of reality pulse into me and soothe everything.|label=Void pleasure|value=+8|stack=1}}
* Enables void [[Psyfocus#Meditation|meditation focus]].{{Check Tag|Specific link?}}
* Receives a {{Thought|desc=The truth finally comes and swallows this false world.|label=Unnatural Sky|value=+5|stack=1}} buff while in lit areas during [[unnatural darkness]], instead of the {{Thought|desc=I am suffocated under a blanket of darkness.|label=Unnatural Darkness|value=-5|stack=1}} that other pawns get. They still recieve the {{Thought|desc=The darkness is suffocating. I can't see or think!|label=Swallowed by darkness|value=-10|stack=1}} in dark areas as normal.
* Inhumanized pawns receive no mood debuff for eating [[twisted meat]] raw or as an ingredient in meals. Inhumanization only affects the debuffs for Twisted Meat, so such pawns will still receive the mood penalty if forced to eat Insect Meat, Human Meat, Fungus, Nutrient Paste, or other raw foods without an overriding ideological [[Precept]] or [[Gene]]. 
It is possible to remove the hediff with the Brainwipe [[psychic ritual]].

== Analysis ==
Inhumanization significantly narrows the inputs that affect a colonist's mood. Inhumanized pawns no longer have a beauty or outdoors need, meaning that they will happily toil away in cold filthy underground tunnels without complaint. It is worth noting that this means Inhumanized pawns will also be unable to gain the mood boost from beautiful environments, and that beauty is one of the four factors in determining room impressiveness which still affects Inhumanized pawn's mood.

Having no social opinions can lead to a reduction in social fights and mental breaks after a loved one passes away, but also prevents positive thoughts from social ties. The void pleasure buff sits between [[optimist]] and [[sanguine]] in magnitude and generally ensures that Inhumanized pawns are content.

The massive skill penalty to the Social skill makes recruiting and converting prisoners more difficult, as it can be very difficult to keep your [[Ideoligion#Moral_guide|Moral Guide]] from having Inhumanization mental breaks with the {{Bad|-8}} mood penalty from the Inhumanization: Required precept. Inhumanized pawns will also get worse trade prices.

Ranching is significantly more difficult as non-domesticated animals have a [[Minimum Handling Skill]] starting at 4, meaning that an Inhumanized pawn would require an animal skill of 16 to tame animals such as [[Turkey]]s, or [[Wild boar]]s, and a skill of 17 to tame [[Boomalope]]s. Taming animals with a wildness above 80% such as [[Megasloth]]s, [[Thrumbo]]s, and [[Rhinoceros]]es is impossible for Inhumanized pawns without the aid of a [[Sentience catalyst]]{{OdysseyIcon}} or genetic aptitude bonuses{{BiotechIcon}}. Training already tamed animals is restricted by the same stat, meaning that previously tamed animals with a handling requirement above what your pawns possess will slowly lose skills and eventually become wild animals once more.

While the "Observed corpse" thought is removed, "Observed Rotting Corpse" is '''not''' removed, meaning you cannot simply toss all corpses to the side with reckless disregard.

Harakoni: /* Persona traits */

== Persona traits ==
Persona weapons have individual traits to reflect their individual personalities. Each weapon will have one or two traits. Some traits are good, some are bad, some are just different. Traits affect the weapon's market value, so a weapon with a negative trait will be cheaper. The traits are:

{{Rewrite|reason=Verification needed. At least a couple of the growing periods for the biomes are wrong, though their exact ranges are unknown.}}

{{Split|reason=A number of biomes still need individual pages}}
'''Biomes''' are types of area on a planet, characterized by their terrain properties, [[Weather|climate]], [[Plants|flora]] and [[Animals|fauna]], [[disease]]s and special challenges. Each world tile has one particular biome. There are twelve playable biomes types in RimWorld, which can be divided into three categories: Warm, Hot and Cold. Oceans and lakes appear as world tiles but are not playable biomes. The [[Odyssey DLC]] introduces five new playable biomes, each with a unique gimmick or challenge.

<div>[[File:World overview.png|550px|World Map]]</div>

The following is a simple summary of the biomes by difficulty, overall cold biomes are more challenging than their hot counterparts.

[[File:BiomeIntensityDiagram.png|750px|Biome Intensity Diagram]]

== Warm biomes ==
These biomes are rich in flora and fauna, and also have a slightly elevated rate of disease. They generally have year-round growing periods, or longer growing periods at the very least. Traveling speed is fast in normal forests and average in dense forests but slow in marshes and during cold seasons if they have one.

=== Temperate forest ===
{{Main|Temperate forest}}
Forests of deciduous trees interspersed with fertile clearings. Many species of animals move around among the trees and on the plains.

[[File:TemperateForest.png|400px|thumb|right|Temperate Forest]]

==== Growing season, temperature, travel and disease ====
* Growing Season: From all year to 20/60 days.
* Average Temperature: {{Temperature|25}} to {{Temperature|0}}.
* Temperature Variation: From {{Temperature|35}} in summer to {{Temperature|-25}} in winter.
* Roads and Rivers: {{Q|Temperate forest|Roads and Rivers}}.
* Movement Difficulty: 1, but sometimes 3 due to winter.
* Forageability: {{%|{{Q|Temperate forest|Forageability}} }}.
* Grazable: Only during growing season.
* Disease {{MTB}}: {{Q|Temperate forest|Disease MTB Days}} days.

----

=== Temperate swamp ===
{{Main|Temperate swamp}}
Wetlands choked with vegetation and disease. Dense overgrowth makes it hard to move around, and clearing areas for building takes a long time. Much of the terrain is too marshy to support heavy structures.

A more wet version of the Temperate Forest. Like in all swamps, diseases are more common. The marshy soil will probably require [[bridge]]s before constructing buildings and the terrain is really slow to travel, but this biome also has more fertile soil.

=== Tropical rainforest ===
{{Main|Tropical rainforest}}
A thick, moist jungle, buzzing with animal life and infested with disease. Despite its visual beauty, this is a very dangerous biome. Choking overgrowth, aggressive animals, and constant sickness are why some explorers call this the "green hell".

Tropical Rainforests are famous for having many diseases, including [[Disease#Sleeping Sickness|Sleeping Sickness]]: a slow-progressing, long-lasting disease that is exclusive to the tropics. Many trees make it difficult to clear land and rapid plant growth makes it difficult to keep it clear.

[[File:TropicalRainforest.png|400px|thumb|right|Tropical Rainforest]]

==== Growing season, temperature, travel and disease ====
* Growing Season: From all year to 40/60 days.
* Average Temperature: {{Temperature|30}} to {{Temperature|15}}.
* Temperature Variation: From {{Temperature|35}} in summer to {{Temperature|0}} in winter.
* Roads and Rivers: Yes.
* Movement Difficulty: 2, rarely 4 due to winter.
* Forageability: 100%.
* Grazable: Most of the time, during growing season.
* Disease frequency: 1.7 per year.

=== Tropical swamp ===
{{Main|Tropical swamp}}
A plant-choked, steamy swamp seething with parasites and pathogens. Much of the land is too marshy to build on. Difficult movement, aggressive animals, and rampant disease make living here a nightmare.

A more wet version of the Tropical Rainforest. Like in all swamps diseases are more common. The marshy soil will probably require [[bridge]]s before constructing buildings and the terrain is really slow to travel, but this biome also has more fertile soil. Diseases are even more constant here than in Tropical Rainforests, so making a proper hospital and having good doctors is a priority.

== Hot biomes ==
These biomes become progressively dry as they become more arid. Moderate amount of flora and fauna, which drops off as you pick a more extreme biome. Mostly year-round growing periods. Traveling in those biomes is usually fast and rarely slowed by cold seasons.

=== Arid shrubland ===
{{Main|Arid shrubland}}
A dry region, but not dry enough to become a true desert. Open plains with grasses and bushes give way to scattered groves of trees. Plants are hardy and there is a moderate density of animals, but arable soil is hard to find.

[[File:AridShrubland.png|400px|thumb|right|Arid Shrubland]]

==== Growing season, temperature, travel and disease ====
* Growing Season: From all year to 40/60 days.

=== Desert ===
{{Main|Desert}}
A very dry area which supports little life. There is very little arable land, and animal life is very sparse. Deserts can be hot, or quite cold.

With so few animals to hunt, growing crops is a priority on one of the few arable patches. The hot temperatures can cause problems for colonists and tamed animals. This biome has patches of soft sand which prevent building, but can be removed with [[moisture pump]]s.

[[File:Desert.png|400px|thumb|right|Desert]]

==== Growing season, temperature, travel and disease ====
* Growing Season: From all year to 10/60 days.

----

=== Extreme desert ===
{{Main|Extreme desert}}
An extremely hot, dry area, devoid of almost all life. Searing heat and a near total lack of arable land make it very difficult to survive here.

The hot temperatures can cause problems for colonists and tamed animals. Its warm enough for growing plants outdoors, but it has to be done in stony patches around hills and mountains. Even though [[potatoes]] grow better in stony soil, you need to plant [[rice]] first so you will not starve while waiting for [[potatoes]]. [[Berries|Strawberries]] are also a good idea since there is no wood for cooking. Later [[Hydroponics basin|hydroponics]] can be used instead of ground. This biome has patches of soft sand which prevent building, but can be removed with [[moisture pump]]s. Animal migrations may occur, about once every other year.

[[File:ExtremeDesert.png|400px|thumb|right|Extreme Desert]]

==== Growing season, temperature, travel and disease ====
* Growing Season: From all year to 30/60 days.

== Cold biomes ==
These biomes become progressively colder and hostile as they become more intense. Flora and fauna becomes more scarce as you pick a more extreme biome. Mostly seasonal growing periods but may go down to no growing period in more extreme biomes. Traveling in those biomes is usually slow due to marsh and cold seasons which can be very long.

=== Boreal forest ===
{{Main|Boreal forest}}
Forests of coniferous trees. Despite the harsh winters, boreal forests sustain a diverse population of small and large animals, and have warm summers.

[[File:BorealForest.png|400px|thumb|right|Boreal Forest]]

==== Growing season, temperature, travel and disease ====
* Growing Season: 30/60 days to 10/60 days.

=== Cold bog ===
{{Main|Cold bog}}
A wetland packed with trees and vines. Much of the marshy land here can't support heavy structures, moving around is slow due to choking vegetation. Disease is endemic in this dense, wet ecosystem.

A more wet version of the Boreal Forest. Like in all swamps, diseases are more common. The marshy soil will probably require [[bridge]]s before constructing buildings and the terrain is really slow to travel, but this biome also has more fertile soil.

=== Tundra ===
{{Main|Tundra}}
These mostly-frozen plains bear almost no trees and little vegetation. There are a few small animals interspersed with large herds of migratory grazers and their predators. Animal migrations may occur once or twice per year.

Growing periods are generally very short or non-existent.

=== Ice sheet ===
{{Main|Ice sheet}}
Sheets of ice which can be kilometers thick. There is no soil for plants to grow in. The only animals here are migrating to somewhere else - or badly lost.

The only land possible to farm is stony patches around hills and mountains, but they need to be [[heater|heated]] indoors and also have [[sun lamp]]s. You will need to hunt, trade and cannibalize until you get a [[heater]] and a [[sun lamp]]. Later, [[moisture pump]]s can create larger growable areas and [[Hydroponics basin|hydroponics]] can be used instead of ground. Geothermal vents can be used for free heating. With so few animals here, any predators that roam in will become hungry soon and target your colonists and animals.

=== Sea ice ===
{{Main|Sea ice}}
Permanent ice sheets floating on water. There is no soil for plants to grow, no minerals to mine, and almost no animal life.

Sea Ice maps do not have geothermal vents or [[ruins]] (except at [[Landmarks#Ice_dunes|ice dunes]] landmarks and in [[Quests#Ancient_Complex|ancient complex]] sites). [[Deep drill]]s cannot be used. [[Moisture pump]]s will only generate more ice, which means it is impossible to grow anything on the ground. You will need to do hunting, [[fishing]],{{OdysseyIcon}} [[trading]] and cannibalism until you get a [[heater]], a [[sun lamp]] and a [[hydroponics basin]]. It is worth mentioning that Sea Ice was designed to not allow colony building, only to allow traveling in the area, even though it is possible.

== Odyssey biomes ==
{{Odyssey|section=1}}
These are biomes added with the Odyssey DLC enabled. These biomes usually include gimmicks and challenges that are unique from conventional natural climates.

=== Glowforest ===
{{Main|Glowforest}}
Geysers spew out massive sulfur clouds that cast the region into permanent darkness. Huge fungal colonies bloom in the dark, fed by the nutrients that the geysers bring to the surface. These areas are alluring and dangerous.

=== Scarlands ===
{{Main|Scarlands}}
Ruins of an ancient city which was destroyed by weapons of mass destruction. Water here is toxic and scaria runs rampant among the animals. Mechanoids lurk among the shattered buildings, waiting to awaken and kill again.

=== Grassland ===

An open expanse dominated by tall grasses. These areas are good for farming and ranching, except when there's a drought. The lack of trees and other vegetation means there's always a steady breeze. Steam geysers never appear here due to low geothermal activity.

=== Glacial plain ===

An open area scraped clean by the movement of glaciers. While vegetation and soil are sparse, a few hardy species have made their home here.

There are no [[geyser]]s in glacial plain maps. Frozen ruins are hidden in the glaciers on all maps, with much bigger ruins when a [[frozen ruins]] landmark is present.

Toxic Environment Resistance

2026-04-03T23:34:16Z

Harakoni: Undo revision 178916 by 2607:FB91:5290:459:F109:46BA:EEAA:B96E (talk) kidneys do the related but distinct Toxic Resistance

{{Stub|reason=Descriptions with and without Biotech}}{{See also|Toxic Resistance}}{{Stat
| def name = ToxicEnvironmentResistance
| label = toxic environment resistance
| description = How resistant this creature is to the effects of environmental toxins. This protects against [[toxic fallout]] and [[rot stink]] exposure, but not against direct attacks with venom or injected poison.
| default base value = 0
| min value = 0
| max value = 1
| to string style = PercentZero
| category = BasicsPawn
| display priority in category = 3450
}}

Thus, a pawn with a 50% toxic environment resistance would take half the [[toxic buildup]] severity increase tox gas or half the rot stink severity from corpses, but would take all the toxic build-up from a [[cobra]]'s bite. A pawn with 50% [[Toxic Resistance]] would instead take half the toxic buildup from both the tox gas and the cobra's bite, but would take all the rot stink severity.

[[Human]]s and most creatures have a base value of 0% resistance. The following exceptions apply:
* [[Waste rat]]:{{BiotechIcon}} 100%
* [[Toxalope]]:{{BiotechIcon}} 100%
* [[Bog hound]]:{{OdysseyIcon}} 100%
* [[Monitor lizard]]:{{OdysseyIcon}} 95%
* [[Vulture]]:{{OdysseyIcon}} 90%
* [[Boomalope]]: 90%
* [[Rat]]: 90%
* [[Boomrat]]: 90%
* [[Raccoon]]: 80%
* [[Iguana]]: 95%
* [[Warg]]: 80%
* All [[Insectoids]]: 80%
* All [[Mechanoids]]: 100%
* All [[Drones]]{{OdysseyIcon}}: 100%

Note that this is in addition to any toxic resistance they may have.

Also note that many references to the resistance are keyed to the [[Biotech DLC]] being present, despite the stat being defined in Core. It is currently unclear what the effect of this is.

Harakoni:

Think there's some more. This includes Apparello (mod), Cybernetic Storm (mod), Rimfire (mod) and a lot more from [[User:elStrages]].

Also, about namespaces: Are you talking about Mods/<mod name> as the page heading? If yes then instead of deletion it's fine (or so I think) to move the entire page over to the new header.

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

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

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

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

{{Heal Option Table}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

{| 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.
{| class="wikitable"

|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.

=== Bad back ===
Degradation in the spinal column and surrounding musculature. This makes it hard to move and bend smoothly.

{| class="wikitable"

A bad back can be cured by installing a [[bionic spine]], or with the use of [[biosculpter pod]]'s bioregeneration cycle{{IdeologyIcon}}.

A human pawn must be at least 40 years old to get a bad back, meaning it can first occur at their 41st birthday

|-
| '''Cataract''' || -50% part efficiency in the affected eye. This results in 50% [[sight]] if both eyes are affected.

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 must be at least 48 years old to get cataracts, meaning it can first occur at their 49th birthday

=== 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

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

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

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

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

Artery blockages can be treated by replacing the heart.

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

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

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

|}



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

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

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

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

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

The procedure for determining severity growth every 60-tick interval, '''SG60''' for short, is given by:
# Take the amount by which the ambient temperature exceeds the pawn's maximum safe temperature (which is the maximum comfortable temperature +10°C).
# Pass the amount through the curve shown below to obtain the effective temperature excess.
## Note that for amounts from 0 to 25 °C, this doesn't result in a change.
# Multiply the excess by <code>6.45e-5</code> to obtain the severity growth this interval (60 ticks, 1 second).
# If the growth is less than <code>0.000375</code>, set it to that number. This sets a minimum amount the severity increases by for temperatures in the range of 10 to 15.814°C above the maximum comfortable temperature.
:<code>'''SG60''' = max(0.000375, 0.0000645 × effective_temperature_curve(<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. Severity decreases at a constant rate of 1.5% when at 55.6% or above, slowing down until reaching its slowest (0.15%) at 5.6% and below. Full recovery from near-100% severity occurs after 151 real-time seconds, or 3.6 in-game hours.

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

{{quote|This creature is gestating offspring. It will give birth if the pregnancy comes to term. If starved or injured, there may be a miscarriage.|Description}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sterilizing a pregnant animal will not terminate the pregnancy.

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

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

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

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

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

|}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

|}
Treatment:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Because of the high chance of [[vomiting]] at any moment, putting the patient on a temporary diet of [[pemmican]] may be 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

=== 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:

* [[Neurocalculator]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}
* [[Circadian assistant]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}
* [[Circadian half-cycler]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}
* [[Pilot assistant]] {{OdysseyIcon}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

=== Stages ===

* [[Consciousness]] max. 10% (Unconsciousness)
* [[Pain]] +60%
|-
|'''Fatal''' || 100% Severity ||
* [[Death]]
|}

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

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

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

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

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

A '''diabolus''' (pl. '''diaboli'''){{Ref label|Plural|1}} is a [[mechanoid commander]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]]. It drops the [[signal chip]], required to research further [[mechanitor]] technology.

== Occurrence ==
One or more diaboli can spawn in mechanoid raids when sufficient [[raid point]]s are available for them, however they are also involved in the [[mechanitor]] progression and can be specifically summoned by the player.

Summoning a diabolus requires a [[mechanitor]] and a powered [[comms console]]. Constructing a comms console requires the [[Research#{{Q|Comms console|Required Research}}|{{Q|Comms console|Required Research}}]] research. Unlike the buildings used to summon the other mechanoid commanders, the console is not consumed in the process.

When summoned, it will be accompanied by other mechanoids. The amount of other mechanoids depends on how many times you have summoned a diabolus before, and is independent of wealth, time, or colony progress. Eventually, you'll have to face multiple diaboli at the same time. They will crash down in a ship after a random amount of time ranging from a few in game hours to days. They will not attack immediately, but will instead act like a raid and "prepare" before launching their assault. The maximum size is reached after summoning the diabolus 8 times.

Like the other mechanoid bosses, beyond wave 8, each new waves is chosen randomly from wave 3 to 8. The selection isn't purely random: it is determined by the world seed and the number of summons made prior. As such, the sequence of waves after wave 8 will be the same for a given seed. The wave count is per playthrough, not per colony or map. If the diabolus is summoned once on one map, summoning another on a second map will bring the second wave. [[Endings#The_Archonexus|The Archonexus]] colony reset does reset this progression.

Every diabolus will drop a separate signal chip, it doesn't need to be "the boss" of a wave, or even to come as a summon.

== Acquisition ==
{{Acquisition}}

Dead, friendly diaboli can also be resurrected at the {{lc:{{P|Production Facility 1}} }} using the "''Resurrect ultraheavy mechanoid''" bill. This requires the corpse of the friendly diabolus, {{Icon Small|Steel||150}} [[steel]], and 1 [[gestation cycle]] taking {{Ticks|1800}} to initiate.

== Summary ==
The diabolus is an ultra-heavy mechanoid. {{Mechanoid Summary}} Diaboli have an [[EMP]] resistance of 60%, meaning they are stunned for 60% less time.

The diabolus is immune to [[psychic lance]]s. In addition, the [[skip]], [[chaos skip]], [[berserk]], and [[berserk pulse]] [[psycast]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}} do not function against the diabolus due to "Psychic Resistance". Like most other mechanoids, the diabolus has 50% [[Psychic Sensitivity]].

Dead diaboli may be shredded at the [[machining table]] or [[crafting spot]] for {{Icon Small|Steel||50}} [[steel]] and {{Icon Small|Plasteel||20}} [[plasteel]]. However, these values are affected by [[Mechanoid Shredding Efficiency|mechanoid shredding efficiency]], as well as missing parts on the diabolus.

Defeating a hostile diabolus rewards the player with a [[signal chip]] regardless of whether they were summoned or came as part of a raid. Studying one is required to research [[Research#Standard_Mechtech|Standard Mechtech]], and they can also be used to create various mechanitor gear, or even your own diabolus.

Friendly diaboli recharge in a [[large mech recharger]], creating 5 [[wastepack]]s to go from empty to full charge. This totals in 25 wastepacks whenever the recharger's waste is filled up.

=== Combat ===
An enemy diabolus alternates between two long range attacks:

# [[Hellsphere cannon]]. When using this attack, diabolus will create a red circle around a target. This circle indicates where diabolus is aiming. It is to be noted that unlike almost every other weapon, the hellsphere cannon will not track its target while aiming and will instead keep aiming at the same spot. After a {{Ticks|450}} warmup, the cannon fires an extremely fast explosive projectile, which upon exploding will leave a large radius of [[fire]]. The blast is slightly larger than the visual circle, so err on the side of caution. This attack only has a range of {{Q|Hellsphere cannon|Range}} tiles, but also has a minimum range of {{Q|Hellsphere cannon|Minimum Range}} tiles.
#* The explosive projectile deals ''{{Q|Hellsphere cannon|Damage Base}}'' [[Damage_Types#Vaporize|Vaporize]] damage, increased to {{#expr:{{Q|Hellsphere cannon|Damage Base}}*2}} damage against passable structures and {{#expr:{{Q|Hellsphere cannon|Damage Base}}*4}} damage against impassable structures. As an explosive, it ignores cover and has 100% accuracy. This checks Heat armor, but has a massive {{Q|Hellsphere cannon|Armor Penetration}}% {{AP}}. However, due to the fact that Vaporize damage does not overflow, the majority of this damage often ends up overkilling just one or 2 body parts, leading to much lower effective damage output
#* Unlike other ranged weapons, once initialized, it will continue to fire, even if the diabolus is engaged in melee in the meantime. Engaging in melee will prevent ''future'' shots being initialized, but puts combatants at risk of the diabolus' fire burst, so mechanoids or heavily heat-armored pawns are ideal for such an approach.
# [[Charge blaster turret]]. This fires a single shot at relatively low damage and is affected by cover, but can do so from a very long range (44.9 tiles). It can also be fired while moving, firing the hellsphere cannon, or performing other activities, and it has almost no warmup time.

Note that they do not drop either weapon upon death.
[[File:FireBurst.png|64px|left|thumb|The gizmo used to trigger the fire burst]]

Diaboli have the ability to emit a "fire burst" on a {{Ticks/gametime|2700}} cooldown. It begins emitting visible fumes and randomly depositing [[Filth#Chemfuel puddle|chemfuel puddles]] in spaces within 5.9 tiles around itself; after 3 seconds, it fills in the remaining spaces in that radius with chemfuel puddles and releases a 10-damage [[Damage Types#Flame|Flame]] explosion with the same radius, dealing damage and igniting the puddles. As of RimWorld version 1.5, enemy diaboli that are currently 'fighting enemies' (as opposed to wandering around in preparation for an assault, pathing towards a colony, or opening fire on random buildings) will use their fire burst if attacked or even just aimed at by a pawn within 65 tiles, regardless of whether or not the burst would hit anything. Player-controlled diaboli must have their fire burst manually triggered by the player.

An enemy diabolus won't actively try to breach walls, and it will never appear in [[breacher]] raids. However, they will use their [[hellsphere cannon]] to breach through walls, similar to [[termite]]s, if no pawns are accessible. They will also destroy buildings and objects, like any other raider.

When summoned, all diaboli after the first two waves will spawn with a [[heavy shield unit]], which has a strength of 400 HP - equal to 133 HP of actual damage. Note that it recharges x10 slower than a normal [[shield belt]]. It is currently unknown whether diaboli that spawn as part of regular raids can spawn with the shield.{{Check Tag|Detail needed}}

== Analysis ==
Kiting and spreading out is key to taking out the diabolus. The biggest threat is by far its hellsphere cannon, which can instakill almost anyone and anything. For reference, a pawn with the [[Tough]] trait, [[fire resistant]] gene, and wearing a legendary [[duster]], [[formal vest]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} / [[corset]] ,{{RoyaltyIcon}} and [[button down shirt]] made of [[devilstrand]] still has a 28% chance of immediately dying from torso damage. Players should instead prioritize avoiding the shot in any way possible, either by moving pawns out of the way, staying out of range, or by being too close to target with the cannon.

Be extra careful about [[fire]]; if not from the diabolus' blasts, then from the wildfires caused by them, or by the [[tesseron]]s alongside it. Pawns lit on fire can't be controlled, so you can't order them out of the blast range, which is nearly certain to be fatal. Also be wary of the ''Fleeing Fire'' [[mental break]], caused by being a [[children|child]] or having the pyrophobia [[gene]]. While short, it is still just as dangerous as any mental break with a diabolus. A [[firefoam pop pack]] is very helpful.

You should manually move pawns away from the blast radius, always allowing yourself the option to retreat. Split up your pawns, which will allow more of them to focus on shooting instead of running. You can even use your own [[militor]]s to lure the cannon or flame burst; their range is short enough to justify staying close, anyway. It only has 1 non-flame attack, so even a [[cleansweeper]] can stall for some time.

=== Melee ===
[[File:Diabolus waterskip.png|thumb|Waterskip psycast used to cancel the diabolus' fire burst]]
Melee can be an effective tactic. But with fire vulnerable pawns, it is ''highly'' advised to NOT use melee attacks, due to the close-ranged burst. Sufficient fire protection ([[devilstrand]] clothing, [[phoenix armor]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} [[impids]]' fire resistance) can help tank the flames, and your own mechanoids are completely immune to fire. [[Firefoam]] or the [[waterskip]] psycast{{RoyaltyIcon}} can extinguish fire on your pawns, but heat damage still applies.

=== Using EMP ===
Despite their resistance, diaboli are still vulnerable to [[EMP]] attacks. However because of the EMPs reduced uptime, you may want to use EMP damage tactically. Stunning the diabolus interrupts the hellsphere cannon, so EMPs can be timed to prevent the cannon from firing and potentially save a pawn's life. If the diabolus is still adapted while firing, and therefore temporarily immune to further EMP stuns, then this strategy cannot be used. EMP should thus be used sparingly, rather than fired at will.

The exception to this is once diaboli spawn with [[Heavy shield unit|shields]], which can be broken instantly by EMP. In that case it is usually better to use EMPs immediately rather than attempt to interrupt a blast. This will kill the diabolus faster, which prevents more hellsphere shots overall.

=== Psycasts ===
{{Royalty|section=1}}
[[File:Diabolus self anniliation.png|thumb|2 diaboli tricked into targeting eachother]]
Diaboli, with their 75% [[psychic sensitivity]], are vulnerable to certain [[psycasts]]. [[Beckon]] will interrupt either of its charged attacks, even if immediately broken by damage. If there are multiple diaboli in a raid, you can use Beckon to trick them into hellsphering each other.

Casting [[Berserk (psycast)|Berserk]] on its ally can cause it to waste a lot of time on charging a friendly fire attack, which it cannot interrupt on its own. Berserk cannot be cast on diaboli, since like other mechanoid commanders they are immune to psychic insanity.

The [[Skipshield]] psycast can be used against diaboli in much the same way it can be used against raiders equipped with [[Doomsday rocket launcher|doomsday]] or [[triple rocket launcher]]s. Shields and skipshields detonate the hellsphere cannon's projectile on the edge of the shield, causing the diabolus to damage and/or kill itself if the shield edge is close enough.

Diaboli are too [[Body size|large]] to be affected by the [[Skip]] psycast and its variants, [[chaos skip]] and [[mass chaos skip]], though they can be used to dodge the blast.

=== When you should fight ===
The first diabolus battle is a major hurdle for any [[mechanitor]]. For a solo mechanitor playthrough, a mechanitor armed with an [[assault rifle]], 4-5 [[militor]]s, and a small crew of labor mechs like [[agrihand]]s are enough to take out the first diabolus, with the following strategies:

* Spread out. Have each militor close enough to the enemies, and labor mechs ready to melee. Ideally, only 1 mech is in the hellsphere blast at a time.
* Have your mechanitor & militors focus fire each enemy militor until they die. The faster the small mechs die, the less damage you'll sustain.
* Have each labor mech melee a separate enemy. Militors in melee cannot fire their guns, reducing damage accordingly.
* With the diabolus inefficiently firing hellspheres / flame bursts at your mechanoids, take it down. The pulse turret can still hurt, especially for the labor mechs, but it should die.

Alternatively, running the diabolus down 30-40 wood [[spike trap]]s, or 10-15 steel spike traps, is enough to do the trick. A [[triple rocket launcher]] can be handy, but don't harm your own mechs!

With a multi-colonist colony, you can have each pawn wield a long-range weapon like the [[bolt-action rifle]] or assault rifle. Whenever you get into the hellsphere cannon's range, back off. You can combine this with the aforementioned mech strategies to be more successful. With just the pulse turret to worry about, the diabolus becomes about as strong as 2 [[pikemen]] (just with a lot more health).

=== As a counter raid ===
Diabolus (and any mech boss) can be summoned defensively against any other non-mech raid, sometimes to a great efficiency since hostile raids will more often than not prefer to fight each other and diabolus can be summoned every 2 days without any additional buildings which can make certain endgame sequences considerably easier.

== Analysis - As an ally ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Why build the diabolus? Also tactics. Diabolus killbox example and synergy with [[Skipshield]]}}
Slow and with a little more health & armor than a [[centipede]], diaboli are best used against stationary threats like [[siege]]s, [[mech cluster]]s,{{RoyaltyIcon}} and other mech commanders as well as centipedes. The [[charge blaster turret]] is more of a gimmick, when the diabolus slowly closes distance. It's faster than a centipede, but not a lot: a speed of 2.4 c/s compared to 1.9 c/s.

But when it's close, it's a tank killer. The [[hellsphere cannon]] is a devastating tool. It does 800 [[Vaporize]] damage with an AP of 100%, about 2/3 more than a [[antigrain warhead]]. It can easily one-shot or at least massively soften up even the strongest enemy mechanoids. While you can dodge enemy hellsphere cannon shots with some micro management thanks to its long wind-up time, the enemy won't. They just stand there and get destroyed.

A diabolus can destroy [[obelisk]]s{{AnomalyIcon}} in one hit, removing them from map without triggering their activation effect.

Watch out for the hellsphere cannon accidentally destroying items, including the chips dropped by all 3 mechanoid commanders.

Due to the efficacy of fire against insectoids, the diabolus can be an effective way to eliminate infestations. This risks the diabolus' own body if the insectoids manage to destroy it, potentially preventing resurrection and wasting resources, especially if in a room whose floor is made of a flammable material like wood.

When using the remote shielder, be very careful. If the shield is active when the hellsphere cannon is fired, the shot will hit the shield, damaging the diabolus and anything within point blank range.

Since the hellsphere cannon also deals vaporize damage, it is quite useful against tribal raids assuming you can fire it into the crowd early.

Flashstorm (psycast)

2026-04-03T05:49:29Z

'''Flashstorm''' is a level {{P|Psylink Level}} [[psycast]] that creates a brief [[lightning]] storm at the target location.

== Acquisition ==
{{Acquisition}}

== Summary ==
Upon casting Flashstorm, a miniature [[flashstorm]] will be created centered on the target tile, which can be any unroofed tile within 20 tiles of the caster, respecting line of sight. This flashstorm, like its natural counterpart, will create lightning strikes every {{Ticks|320}} to {{Ticks|800}}, though only on unroofed tiles in a reduced radius of 15 tiles (the displayed radius of 14 tiles is incorrect.) These strikes deal 10 [[Flame]] damage in a 3x3 radius centered on the strike, and ignite flammable pawns, objects, and items within. The flashstorm will persist for {{Ticks|{{P|Duration}}}} before dissipating. While the flashstorm persists, the area within the radius will be visually darkened by cloud cover, though this effect is only cosmetic - it has no effect on the [[Light]] level of the affected tiles.

Note that pawns that are incapable of violence are prevented from casting Flashstorm.

== Analysis ==
Flashstorm is perhaps the single least useful psycast of the lot. The effect radius is large, meaning it is wildly inaccurate, and the relatively slow rate of lightning strikes limits any potential damage dealt to being mediocre ''at best''. Additionally, lightning strikes deal pitifully low damage to organic targets (especially [[impids]]{{BiotechIcon}}), and none at all to the already-imposing [[mechanoids]]. All this combined with a significant psyfocus cost of 4% and a staggering neural heat gain of 65 render Flashstorm cumbersome to use for minimal gain.

Even against stationary targets, which won't flee the effect radius, Flashstorm is middling. It could see use against [[siege]]s, as the lightning is likely to ignite [[mortar shell]]s if nothing else, thus provoking the siege into attacking. The range of the flashstorm psycast is rather small, though, so other means of provoking a siege (e.g., [[mortar]]s, [[sniper rifle]]s) are superior once available. [[Mech cluster]]s and [[crashed ship part]]s are guarded by mechs, who are immune to flame.

Overall, Flashstorm is not worth the time. However, if one is absolutely determined to make use of Flashstorm, it has two properties that, when combined, can give it some minor use in a [[killbox]] design - its inability to strike roofed tiles, and the lack of a limit to the number of flashstorms one can place in the same area. While Flashstorm does require an unroofed tile to target, there is no such limitation on the tiles surrounding it. By roofing nearly (or all) the tiles within the radius of the flashstorm, one can corral all the strikes from the flashstorm to a few specific tiles, such as a hallway in a killbox, at a chokepoint guarded by melee blockers, or tiles behind cover to bait enemies within. Secondarily, by casting flashstorm multiple times on the same tile, the rate of lightning strikes will be drastically improved, turning them from an inconsequential threat to a less-inconsequential source of damage and crowd control, panicking enemies and dealing minor damage. However, the large amounts of neural heat incurred per cast make this difficult to execute without methods of dissipating neural heat, such as [[neural heat dump]], [[eltex]] gear, or high [[psychic sensitivity]]. Outside of this niche use case, Flashstorm should never be considered as an answer to combat, and your psyfocus is better spent on any other psycast.

In addition, if already obtained, flashstorm has some quality of life features:
* Flashstorm disables the game's [[firewatch]], making it easier to burn a lot of corpses without needing to them under a roof.
* Flashstorm will light up the entire map during [[unnatural darkness]]{{AnomalyIcon}} for a very brief moment, allowing use of the helpful enemy overlay when zooming out. Note that flashstorm is also liable to start map-wide fires when used this way, as the usual firewatch system is disabled during the unnatural darkness event.

The '''mechcommander helmet''' is a piece of [[apparel]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]].

== Acquisition ==
{{Acquisition}}

== Summary ==
In addition to its protective stats, wearing a mechcommander helmet gives {{+|6}} [[bandwidth]].

A mechcommander helmet increases the [[vacuum resistance]]{{OdysseyIcon}} of its wearer by {{+|{{%|{{P|Vacuum Resistance Offset}}}}}}. [[Quality]] does not affect this resistance.

== Analysis ==
The mechcommander helmet offers armor ratings roughly equivalent to a [[steel]] [[flak helmet]] of the same quality, but covers the full face, gives additional bandwidth, offers [[vacuum]]{{OdysseyIcon}} protection, and is significantly more expensive.

If the only goal is to gain bandwidth, then the [[array headset]] gives the same {{+|6}} bandwidth, is also unlocked at [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]], and doesn't require a signal chip to make. The benefit of the mechcommander helmet is that it offers head protection. If the mechanitor isn't expected to see combat, then the headset is generally a better choice.

However, even if head protection is wanted, it is generally better to spend signal chips on a [[bandwidth pack]] first. The pack can be worn with a protective helmet, but also gives {{+|3}} additional bandwidth, doesn't degrade over time or in combat, and never becomes obsolete. Once the pack is built, then mechcommander helmets can be built to achieve maximum bandwidth.

Once [[mechlord helmet]]s become available, the mechcommander helmet is essentially outmoded. Mechlord helmets provide better protection and {{+|6}} additional bandwidth. While these improvements do come at the cost of [[Shooting Accuracy]] and [[Melee Hit Chance]], if that is a relevant consideration then the additional bandwidth can be spent on combat mechs to more than make up for the difference in combat capability while still being more protective. This also means that depending on the colony's rate of progress through both mech commanders and research, it may be unnecessary to ever make a mechcommander helmet.

The mechcommander helmet can see use for mechanitors in [[orbit]],{{OdysseyIcon}} offering more protection than a [[vacsuit helmet]] and providing some bandwidth. For non-mechanitors, it is more protective but the signal chip cost makes it too cost-prohibitive. By the time signal chips are easy to farm, [[power armor]] helmets should be available for non-mechanitors.

The '''mechcommander helmet''' is a piece of [[apparel]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]].

== Acquisition ==
{{Acquisition}}

== Summary ==
In addition to its protective stats, wearing a mechcommander helmet gives {{+|6}} [[bandwidth]].

A mechcommander helmet increases the [[vacuum resistance]]{{OdysseyIcon}} of its wearer by {{+|{{%|{{P|Vacuum Resistance Offset}}}}}}. [[Quality]] does not affect this resistance.

== Analysis ==
The mechcommander helmet offers armor ratings roughly equivalent to a [[steel]] [[flak helmet]] of the same quality, but covers the full face, gives additional bandwidth, offers [[vacuum]]{{OdysseyIcon}} protection, and is significantly more expensive.

If the only goal is to gain bandwidth, then the [[array headset]] gives the same {{+|6}} bandwidth, is also unlocked at [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]], and doesn't require a signal chip to make. The benefit of the mechcommander helmet is that it offers head protection. If the mechanitor isn't expected to see combat, then the headset is generally a better choice.

However, even if head protection is wanted, it is generally better to spend signal chips on a [[bandwidth pack]] first. The pack can be worn with a protective helmet, but also gives {{+|3}} additional bandwidth, doesn't degrade over time or in combat, and never becomes obsolete. Once the pack is built, then mechcommander helmets can be built to achieve maximum bandwidth.

Once [[mechlord helmet]]s become available, the mechcommander helmet is essentially outmoded. Mechlord helmets provide better protection and {{+|6}} additional bandwidth. While these improvements do come at the cost of [[Shooting Accuracy]] and [[Melee Hit Chance]], if that is a relevant consideration then the additional bandwidth can be spent on combat mechs to more than make up for the difference in combat capability while still being more protective. This also means that depending on the colony's rate of progress through both mech commanders and research, it may be unnecessary to ever make a mechcommander helmet.

The mechcommander helmet can see use for mechanitors in [[orbit]],{{OdysseyIcon}} offering more protection than a [[vacsuit helmet]] and providing some bandwidth. For non-mechanitors, it is more protective but the signal chip cost makes it too cost-prohibitive. By the time signal chips are easy to farm, [[power armor]] helmets should be available.

==Summary==
[[File:Gravship minimum.png|250px|thumb|right|The absolute minimum a gravship needs to fly.]]

A functional gravship requires various parts in order to be flightworthy. A gravship begins with a [[grav engine]], and various structures and walls can be connected to the grav engine via [[gravship substructure]], which acts as the floor of the gravship. Anything built on the connected substructure will be considered part of the ship and brought along upon launch.

At the very minimum, a gravship requires only one [[small thruster]], one [[small chemfuel tank]], a [[pilot console]] and a grav engine with enough gravship substructure to connect all of the mentioned parts. A gravship of this calibre is able to travel between tiles of the world map, akin to a portable [[transport pod]] or [[passenger shuttle]] / [[imperial shuttle]].{{RoyaltyIcon}} It is possible to go into [[orbit]] at any time, but attempting to do so without [[vacuum]] protection (like [[oxygen pump]] + airtight walls or [[vacsuit]]s) will be met with a swift end.

A list of fundamental parts are listed below:
* [[Grav engine]]
* [[Gravship substructure]]
* [[Pilot console]]
* [[Small chemfuel tank]] or [[Large chemfuel tank]]
* [[Small thruster]] or [[Large thruster]]

A gravship also comes with various limitations and constraints:
* The grav engine can only initially support up to 500 tiles of gravship substructure, all of which can only be built within a radius of 19 tiles around the grav engine originating from its center.
** This limitation can be improved using [[grav field extender]]s. Each one added to a gravship increases this limit of buildable tiles by 250 tiles, up to a maximum of 2000 supported tiles with 6 grav field extenders. Grav field extenders themselves have a supported radius of 17 tiles.
* Any substructure built beyond the limit supported by a grav engine will be left behind upon launch, including anything or anyone standing on said substructure.

There is no weight limitation, and any number of pawns can travel on a gravship together.

===Launching===
A functioning gravship can be sent to any tile within its maximum range. By default, each tile traveled consumes 10 {{Icon Small|Chemfuel}} [[chemfuel]], with a minimum cost of 50 {{Icon Small|Chemfuel}} [[chemfuel]].{{Check Tag|Orbit?|Fuel cost traveling between surfance and orbit needed}} Each [[fuel optimizer]] (max. 2) reduces fuel consumption by {{---|30%}} additive, or -3 {{Icon Small|Chemfuel}} chemfuel/tile per optimizer, but the minimum cost remains 50 {{Icon Small|Chemfuel}}.

The max distance depends on the number of thrusters, assuming there is sufficient fuel loaded into Small or Large Chemfuel tanks:

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
| Structure || Maximum structures || Range per structure || Maximum range
|-
| Small thrusters || 4 || 10 || 40
|-
| Large thrusters || 6 || 16 || 96
|-
| Total || || || 136
|-
|}

Landing on a tile that is not a quest site or faction base will immediately create a new colony. Landing on a [[quest]] that generates a temporary map (e.g., prisoner rescue, bandit camps, [[work site]]s{{IdeologyIcon}}) will enter the map, which can be settled on after threats are cleared. Landing on a [[faction base]] will initiate an attack, with no option to trade. Gravships cannot land on tiles containing the [[peace talks]] quest or on an impassible tile, and require a [[signal jammer]] to enter certain maps in orbit.

When landing on a tile, it is possible to choose a location on the map where the gravship is placed, even if the tile is occupied by another faction. The gravship may be rotated before landing. It cannot land on tiles containing walls or other impassible tiles like [[deep water]], furniture items like [[stele]]s, roofs, [[steam geyser]]s, or tiles containing [[toxic wastepack]]s.{{BiotechIcon}} It can land if the thrusters would be blocked (represented by the orange area), but the obstructing objects will need to be cleared before launching again.

===Launch ritual quality===
After landing on a tile, there is a cooldown to launch the ship again, and a mishap may occur. The cooldown and chance of a mishap is dependent on the Launch Ritual's quality:

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
| colspan=2 | Source || % per || Maximum || Maximum quality gain

|-
|}

<nowiki>*</nowiki>You may have additional crew on-board, but they will not contribute to the Launch Ritual quality

Launch quality is capped at 100%.

Launch Cooldown is based on Ritual Quality:

{{Graph:Chart | width = 400 | height = 200 | xAxisTitle = Quality (%) | yAxisTitle = Cooldown (days) | type = line | x = 0, 25, 50, 80, 100 | y1 = 10, 5, 2, 0.5, 0.33}}

====Gravship Landing Mishaps====
When landing a gravship, there is a chance for a mishap depending on the launch ritual's quality. All mishaps are equally likely.

{|class="wikitable"
| Incident name || Description || Result
|-
|Minor Gravship Crash
|''While landing <Gravship Name>, <pilot> accidentally disengaged the grav engine too early, causing the gravship to free-fall for several feet. Some buildings on the gravship have sustained light damage from the crash.''
|Some buildings on the ship will have taken damage and will need to be repaired.
|-
|Thruster Breakdown
|''While landing <Gravship Name>, <pilot> overheated the ship's thrusters, frying valuable components. The thrusters will need to be repaired before they can be used again.''
|Thrusters will be broken down and will need components to be fixed.
|-
|Overheated Grav Engine
|''While landing <Gravship Name>, <pilot> over-engaged the grav engine, causing it to overheat. The grav engine will take longer than normal to cool down. In the meantime, the gravship can't be launched.''
|Grav engine cooldown will be extended longer than expected.
|-
|Grav Nausea
|''While landing <Gravship Name>, <pilot> was forced to do an emergency maneuver, resulting in an intense and prolonged deceleration. The experience has left your colonists feeling extremely nauseous. The effects will quickly fade.''
|Colonists on the ship will suffer from [[Grav nausea|grav nausea]] for 2-5 hours.
|-
|}

The chance of any Gravship landing mishap is based on ritual quality:

{{Graph:Chart | width = 400 | height = 200 | xAxisTitle = Quality (%) | yAxisTitle = Chance of landing mishap (%) | type = line | x = 0, 50, 100 | y1 = 100, 25, 2}}

==Analysis==
===General===
Gravships enable a nomadic playstyle. This is practically forced by [[scenario system#The Gravship|The Gravship scenario]], which sends mechs after staying in one place for too long. They are also possible to use in a permanent, stationary colony, but a [[grav anchor]] is required so the ship does not destroy the tile.

For short trips, such as trading and non-gravship quests, the [[passenger shuttle]] is superior: it has a shorter launch cooldown, can visit settlements directly to trade (the gravship can only land nearby), costs less [[chemfuel]] per trip, and doesn't destroy the tile it's in. In addition, if a [[shuttle engine]] can be obtained via [[empire]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} or [[sanguophage]]{{BiotechIcon}} quest, the shuttle will be cheaper than a gravship + [[grav anchor]]. However, the gravship has no weight limit, meaning it can carry any number of items and pawns, and can carry buildings that can't be uninstalled, making it better for extended stays and nomadic colonies. Additionally, nothing prevents you from placing a shuttle on a gravship and using the gravship as a carrier.

A gravship-focused colony is worth a lot of [[wealth]], due to every tile requiring [[steel]] and [[gravlite panel]]s, resulting in larger raids. On Losing is Fun and higher, prudent [[wealth management]] is recommended for gravship colonies.

===Obtaining a Gravship===
To start building a gravship, a [[grav engine]] must be obtained, either by beginning the game with the gravship start scenario, or obtaining the grav engine via a quest that will cause a grav engine to fall onto the map from space. The grav engine can then be inspected and reinstalled at a more convenient location in order to further expand it. This quest will always appear early into a new game.

To add structures and walls such as [[gravship hull]]s, [[gravship substructure]] must be placed underneath and must be connected to the grav engine. Gravship substructure can be built using [[gravlite panel]]s, which are given in limited supply from the initial grav engine quest as well as further gravship quests. Gravship substructure acts like a floor, and everything must be placed on substructure for it to travel with the gravship.

However, gravships have a limit of 500 tiles of substructure, and all substructure must be placed within a 19-tile radius of the engine. Building [[grav field extender]]s will ease both of these limitations, increasing the tiles and build radius. Any attempt to build beyond the max supported limit of substructure will result in excess substructure, and anything placed upon them, to be left behind on launch. Any invalid substructure tiles will be highlighted in red to indicate that they are not supported and will be left behind.

If a gravship leaves a tile with no [[grav anchor]] installed, then the map will be deleted, and cannot be returned to. Any pawns left behind will be lost. [[Toxic_wastepack|Wastepacks]] left on the map will be dumped.

=== Expeditions ===
Make sure to always bring enough resources to survive. Especially important are chemfuel, food, medicine and components to fly, eat, heal and repair.

=== Raids ===
Landing the gravship at a [[site]] owned by another faction is always a raid against that site. Raiding with the grav ship allows most or all of the player's resources to be deployed to the raid and ready for use on arrival. However, there is a risk that all raiders will suffer grav nausea from a mishap.

=== Trade ===
Landing the gravship directly at a [[faction base]] is a hostile act, and landing nearby (within 4 map tiles) creates a [[colony]], which may impose [[goodwill]] penalties{{Check Tag|Needs Detail|When does first penalty apply?}}. Nevertheless, landing at the minimum permissible distance will ensure a reasonably short caravan. Using the gravship it is possible to reach previously distant faction bases for trade in a reasonable time frame. Once [[passenger shuttle]]s are unlocked, there is nothing stopping the player from having them on the gravship for more convenient trade.

=== Additional modules and buildings ===

* [[Pilot subpersona core]]: Increases piloting efficiency by 15 percent, up to a maximum of 30.
* [[Fuel optimizer]]: Increases fuel efficiency by 30 percent, up to a maximum of 60.
* [[Gravcore power cell]]: Passively generates electricity on the ship.
* [[Signal jammer]]: Allows the gravship to land on heavily-defended orbital locations.
* [[Gravship shield generator]]: Generates a shield with a radius that blocks incoming ground level and overhead projectiles.
* [[Oxygen pump]]: Generates breathable air in enclosed areas on the ship.
* [[Vac barrier]]: Does not block entry, but prevents transfer of gases/vacuum and reduces transfer of temperature.
* [[Heater|Heaters]]: Generates heat, which is important when travelling to orbit.

===Protecting the Gravship===

Raids, especially fleshbeast attacks from the [[Anomaly]] DLC, can be a great threat for any gravship. Fleshbeasts may tunnel their way into the gravship, or even spawn inside of it occasionally (like during the activation of a [[corrupted obelisk]] or [[noctol]] attack). The player should therefore consider putting thicker walls around important buildings, such as gravcore power cells and other special modules. Another effective way to prevent major damages is to always build two doors (1 vac-barrier and 1 regular door) in order to keep the ship pressurized and prevent enemies from spreading on the ship.

Also consider parking the gravship somewhere else (like on an asteroid) before attempting major raid events, like the Anomaly ending.

===Additional information===
The game has only one memory slot for a player owned gravship. Attempting to launch two will cause conflicts and cause one of the gravships to stop existing. This only applies if you try to summon a second grav engine through devmode though.

Weapon Guide

2026-04-03T05:46:26Z

Harakoni:

There are a wide variety of weapons available in RimWorld. Using them effectively can give you a sizable advantage against raiders.
{{TOCright}}
== Overview ==
There are three main categories of weapon this guide will cover:
* {{Icon Small|Longsword|24}} '''Melee''' - Weapons made for close combat. Enemies are unable to fire guns at melee range, so these weapons have a wide variety of uses, from using hallways to bring enemies to you, to rushing a troublesome [[centipede]].
* {{Icon Small|Sniper rifle|24}} '''Ranged''' - Weapons that attack from range. There are a wide variety of ranged weapons, from the all-rounder generalists to "specialist" weapons that fit a specific niche.
* {{Icon Small|Frag grenades|24}} '''Explosive''' - [[Grenades]], launchers, and other oddball weapons/utility items like the [[doomsday rocket launcher]]. In addition to raw explosions, many grenade-type weapons have a special effect, like [[molotov cocktails]] starting [[fire]]. Most explosives do not rely on accuracy, Shooting skill, [[Manipulation]], etc.

There are also three technology levels to consider:
* {{Icon Small|Short bow|24}}'''Neolithic''' - Bows, spears, and clubs. Often necessary when starting a [[Scenario system#Lost Tribe|Lost Tribe]] or [[Scenario system#Naked Brutality|Naked Brutality]] run, but usually they can be quickly replaced. (Tribal)
* {{Icon Small|Bolt-action rifle|24}} '''Early Industrial''' - Weaker firearms, like pistols. These weapons are often carried by early pirate [[raider]]s. For the purposes of this guide, this includes any gun from [[Research#Blowback operation|Blowback operation]] and before, as well as medieval technology like [[longsword]]s and [[greatbow]]s. (Earlygame)
* {{Icon Small|Assault rifle|24}} '''Modern / Spacer''' - Weapons from [[Research#Gas operation|Gas operation]] onwards. Even an endgame colony can find industrial era weapons viable - [[charge rifle]]s and [[minigun]]s aren't always the best weapon just because they are higher tech. (Midgame)

=== Weapon stats ===
There are a couple of stats that are particularly important to consider in a weapon:
* '''DPS''': Damage per second (at a given range), taking into account raw damage, accuracy, firerate, burst count, and armor. This is the primary consideration for most weapons, and for melee weapons in particular.
* '''Damage type:''' Whenever a weapon checks Sharp, Blunt, or Heat damage, and specific quirks for melee damage. Most ranged weapons deal Sharp damage. In addition, each specific damage type ([[short bow|Arrow]] vs [[recurve bow|ArrowHighVelocity]], for instance) can have different chances to hit different body parts.

Ranged Weapon Stats
* '''Accuracy''': For 2 weapons with the same DPS, a more accurate weapon hits targets more consistently. Certain weapons are more accurate at certain ranges. The pawn stat, [[Shooting Accuracy]], is separate to the accuracy of the weapon itself. For a full breakdown of mechanics see: [[Weapons#Accuracy|Weapons]]. Due to the specific mechanics of the Shooting Accuracy stat, weapons that deal the majority of their DPS at closer ranges lose less of their DPS than those that do less damage close up but more evenly spread their DPS across a wide band of ranges. Thus, weapons in the former category are considered "skill friendly", and those in latter are best relegated to pawns with high shooting accuracy.
* '''Range''': How far a ranged weapon can fire. Whether firing from this range is actually effective is another story.
* '''Firing Cycle''': Fire rate of a ranged weapon - the combination of warmup, cooldown, and firing time. For the same DPS, a lower firing cycle makes a weapon more flexible, and better for kiting strategies.
* '''Stopping power:''' A stopping power of 1 or more can stagger, or slow, humans and human-sized enemies. Specifically, if stopping power >= body size, then the enemy will be slowed.

== Melee ==
[[File:Bodyblock_choke.png|250px|thumb|right|You shall not pass.]]
Melee weapons specialize in hand-to-hand combat.

Pawns who are adjacent to each other are ''forced'' into melee combat, even if they are wielding a [[shotgun]]. A gun's barrel is quite ineffective compared to a sword. Melee lends itself well to disruptive tactics, like rushing down a [[sniper rifle|sniper]] or [[grenades|grenadier]], or peeling off enemies from your gunners. The [[defense tactics#Melee blocking|melee block]] - create a chokepoint with 3 melee outside, where only 1 enemy can melee at a time - is extremely effective against enemy melee foes. You can have gunners fire just behind them.

One of the main cons with melee is that taking damage is unavoidable. Later in the game, and especially with higher [[difficulties]], enemies will vastly outnumber your colony. A 200 tribal [[raid]] will eventually wear down your most well-geared melee fighters, even in the best scenarios. Another con is that melee fighters will often have to approach ranged fighters, meaning melee is poorly suited for open combat against ranged opponents. Also, [[animal]]s will always fight back against melee weapons even with 0% manhunter chance, making them terrible for hunting.

'''Notes:'''
* Give your best melee pawns the strongest melee weapons, assuming you desire to get into melee at all.
** Weapon [[quality]] and [[material]] has a large impact on ''any'' weapon's effectiveness.
* [[Shield belt]]s are invaluable to give protection against bullets. They give melee pawns a new use - to serve as tanky distractions.
* Try to avoid using melee in the very early game, unless you outnumber the enemy. Ranged weapons and [[spike trap]]s are stronger than the weaker melee choices.

=== Sharp ===
{{Recode|section=1|reason=Automate table}}
* [[Persona monosword]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}} are the strongest sharp weapon, followed by regular [[monosword]]s.{{RoyaltyIcon}}
* [[Obsidian]]{{OdysseyIcon}} [[longsword]]s are the best craftable sharp weapon, followed by either [[plasteel]] or [[bioferrite]]{{AnomalyIcon}} longswords.

Sharp weapons are the bread and butter of melee weapons. They are the most common type of melee, dealing strong all-round damage. Most sharp weapons have the ''[[Damage types#Cut|Cut]]'' damage type. Cut has a chance to "cleave" through body parts, increasing ''total'' damage but spreading it throughout body parts.

:'''Comparisons to blunt:'''<br>
At standard qualities, sharp damage is better against unarmored targets while blunt is better against armored. At legendary quality and best types, or at high qualities with a [[melee damage factor]] boost, sharp weapon's {{AP}} is so high that armor practically doesn't matter. Instead, due to blunt damage's superior overkill damage mechanics, blunt is better against humans, while sharp's better overall {{DPS}} means it performs better against large/high HP targets.

:'''Comparisons:'''<br>

When wielded by a base pawn, a legendary [[obsidian]]{{OdysseyIcon}} or [[bioferrite]]{{AnomalyIcon}} longsword will only attack with its blade, due to the [[melee verb selection]] mechanic. This results in these weapons having significantly better performance than normal, with legendary obsidian longsword beating an excellent persona monosword and legendary monosword (which both have a 25% chance to attack with the handle).

However, with a strong enough body part attack, or with a boost to [[melee damage factor]] like the [[strong melee damage]] [[gene]],{{BiotechIcon}} legendary longswords will no longer attack with just the blade. This makes a legendary obsidian/bioferrite longsword somewhat worse by comparison.

The following table compares melee damage on a base pawn (no body part or melee damage factor):

=== Blunt ===
* [[Persona zeushammer]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}} are the strongest blunt weapon, followed by regular [[zeushammer]]s.{{RoyaltyIcon}} Both variants cause a small amount of [[EMP]], stunning turrets and mechanoids for a short time.
* At legendary quality and/or high quality with a [[melee damage factor]] boost, [[uranium]] [[warhammer]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}} are the best craftable blunt weapon, and second best overall. While [[mace]]s have a better {{DPS}}, warhammers are more likely to one-shot under these conditions.
* At lower qualities or without [[Royalty]], [[uranium]] [[mace]]s will be the best blunt weapon.

Blunt wounds do not bleed and are often weaker in raw {{DPS}} than sharp counterparts. However, blunt weapons are great for penetrating armor, as most items have a poor Blunt armor rating. They also have a small chance to stun for {{ticks|45}} on hit.

Very high [[quality]] blunt weapons benefit blunt damage's superior overkill damage spread. If a sharp weapon would stab a finger, a blunt weapon would destroy the finger and smash the arm in the process. This makes legendary (persona) zeushammers and warhammers (and to a lesser extent, maces) very consistent at one-shotting enemies.

:'''Comparisons to sharp:'''<br>
At standard qualities and weapon types, sharp damage is better against light armor and blunt damage is better against armored opponents. Maces lose to longswords until facing [[flak vest]]-level armor, and longswords can still harm the unarmored areas of the body better. Regular zeushammers lose to monoswords until facing foes in [[marine armor]], and persona zeushammers lose to persona monoswords until [[cataphract armor|cataphract]].

However, at legendary quality or with high qualities with a [[melee damage factor]] boost, blunt's superior overkill damage makes blunt better against humans. Sharp weapons will have superior {{DPS}} as well as amazing {{AP}}, so they will perform better against large targets, including (ironically enough) [[centipede]]s.

=== Body parts ===
* [[Power claw]]s are the strongest melee body part, but lowers [[Moving]] by 8%.
* [[Flesh tentacle]]s{{AnomalyIcon}} are the second strongest body part and have no penalty, but cannot be installed via traditional means.
* [[Hand talon]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}} are the strongest body part weapon with no downside that can be installed normally.

[[Artificial body parts]] can be used ''while holding a gun''. Fulfilling the role of a sidearm, these implements are weaker than dedicated melee weapons. You can put these on your frontline gunners, who may not always be able to suppress a swarm of melee combatants. When holding a melee weapon, these parts can slightly increase damage; due to the melee verb system, sometimes the fists / body parts will be used instead of a weapon.

Creating these bionics is an advanced technology, so they are usually reserved for the mid- to late- game. Body parts can also be bought, though the [[surgery]] can be a bottleneck if you don't have a good doctor. Also note that pawns will prioritize their "best" melee attack; only one part is required for gunners.

Body part weapons are also essential for [[#Ghouls|ghouls]],{{AnomalyIcon}} who cannot wield regular weapons.

:'''Comparisons to weapons:'''<br>
Power claws are roughly equal to a normal [[plasteel]] [[longsword]]. [[Hand talon]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}} are stronger than [[elbow blade]]s,{{RoyaltyIcon}} which are stronger than a [[knee spike]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} though knee spikes have more {{AP}}. All three are roughly on-par with a normal steel longsword. Note that combat parts are incompatible with other artifical parts: hand attachments get in the way of a [[field hand]], hand / arm attachments don't work with a [[bionic arm]], and knee spikes don't work with a [[bionic leg]]. [[Venom fangs]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} are the weakest of the bunch, but do not occupy any useful area of the body.

== Melee - Nonhuman ==
[[File:Elephant.png|thumb|300px|right]]
=== Animal ===
* [[Alpha thrumbo]]s{{OdysseyIcon}} and [[thrumbo]]s are the best animal, but are notoriously difficult to tame and keep tame.
* [[Megasloth]]s, [[elephant]]s, [[rhino]]s, and both [[bear]]s are behind the thrumbo, but can be found in the wild.

Animals are much more expendable than a colonist, and most have a lot more health than a colonist. However, they cannot be drafted, limiting their combat use severely. In addition, they require one or multiple pawns proficient in the Animals skill in order be tamed and trained. They thus have 2 main uses:
# Animals trained in ''Attack'' can... attack. They will rush towards nearby enemies, acting as a powerful distraction for your gunners.
# Animals can be put in an [[allowed area]] in a hallway raiders are passing through. Raiders and the animal will be forced to attack each other, resulting in a melee block scenario. [[Pen animals]] will not be attacked by raiders, and in any case are unable to be zoned.

Animal selection is also limited by [[biome]], and large animals can turn hostile in failed taming attempts.

=== Wild animals ===
Other than shooting an animal and hoping it attacks the raiders, there are three dedicated ways to make wild animals hostile to your enemies:
* The [[psychic animal pulser]] and its [[shard animal pulser|shard]] [[biomutation pulser|counterparts]]{{AnomalyIcon}} are a single use item that turns all wild animals on the map manhunter.
* The [[manhunter pulse]] [[psycast]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} turns all animals in a large, 57-tile radius into manhunters. Reusable.
* The [[animal warcall]] [[gene]]{{BiotechIcon}} turns a specific animal hostile against your opponents.

For the former two strategies, you should wall in [[door]]s (to prevent exit via [[mental break]]), and watch the carnage. Stronger animals like [[megasloth]]s or a herd of [[elephant]]s can easily end smaller raids, or at least force [[siege]]s to attack. These are heavily dependent on your map's current fauna. Also note that using wild animals like this becomes progressively weaker as raids become stronger. An [[elephant]] can't handle 30 gun-wielding raiders, for instance.

=== Mechanoid ===
{{Biotech|section=1}}
* [[Scyther]]s are the most effective at melee damage, but have low durability.
* [[Centipede]]s, despite having a ranged weapon, are very durable and have decent melee damage, perhaps beating the [[tunneler]] in a practical scenario.

Mechanoids have all the advantages of being an animal and then some, including the ability to be [[draft]]ed like a colonist. Mechs can be repaired of all damage for just the cost of power and can be resurrected for a couple of [[steel]]. This negates all the long-term problems that lategame melee faces (though mechs are, of course, not invincible).

Mechs have their unique costs. They require their [[mechanitor]] nearby to actually control. They cost [[bandwidth]], which could have been used for any amount of ranged mechs. And they create [[toxic wastepack]]s, which will eventually [[pollution|pollute]] your landscape. As combat mechs can be turned off, the actual costs of power and pollution are rather limited.

:'''Comparisons'''<br>
Scythers (2 bandwidth) are the strongest and most effective at melee, and move slightly faster than a baseline human. [[Tunneler]]s (3 bandwidth) have twice the armor of a scyther ''and'' a natural 250 HP [[shield belt]], but are much slower and don't do as much damage. Tunnelers can also mine. [[Centipede]]s (4) and [[diabolus|mechanoid]] [[war queen|commander]]s (5) have similar armor to the tunneler, and have ''much'' higher actual health, while dealing alright damage in melee.

=== Ghoul ===
{{Anomaly|section=1}}

[[Ghoul]]s are incredibly potent at melee. They can be drafted like a regular colonist, do not bleed, do not feel pain or have mental breaks, regenerate HP and lost parts rapidly, and can be easily revived with [[ghoul resurrection serum]]. They are also worth remarkably little [[wealth]] and [[raid points]] when compared to a colonist or mech. While ghouls are limited to unarmed combat, they can be given [[#body parts|body part weapons]], a number of [[Artificial body parts#Ghoul upgrades|ghoul specific implants]], and the [[strong melee damage]] [[gene]].{{BiotechIcon}} See [[Ghoul#The_ideal_ghoul|the ideal ghoul analysis section]] for what else can help a ghoul.

:'''Comparisons (ghoul implants)'''<br>
A [[power claw]] is the strongest body part weapon but it hinders movement. A power claw + [[flesh tentacle]] is the overall strongest combination, as through the [[melee verb selection]] mechanic, this combo will guarantee that the power claw's attack is selected. A power claw + [[wooden hand]] will result in a similar effect, and outdamages a power claw + regular hand. A [[flesh tentacle]] is the second best body part weapon with no downsides, although it must be obtained before ghoulification. A flesh whip can be combined with a flesh tentacle or wooden hand in the same way.

:'''Comparisons (to other melee pawns)'''<br>
While the ''maximum potential'' for a standard human colonist is higher (legendary weapons, [[cataphract armor]], [[shield belt]]s, jumping and other abilities), a ghoul with a body part weapon + [[ghoul barbs]] + [[ghoul plating]] is significantly cheaper and requires much less research, so ghouls are very cost effective, and better than melee colonists in the early- and mid-game.

Animals cannot be manually controlled and require constant taming. [[Friendly mechanoids]]{{BiotechIcon}} are strictly inferior for melee; [[scyther]]s are frailer and weaker than a ghoul with a body part weapon + ghoul barbs + ghoul plating, while being more [[raid points]] and only slightly faster than a base ghoul.

== Ranged - Neolithic ==
Neolithic weapons are the easiest weapons to craft, available for [[New Tribe]]s and [[Scenario system#Naked Brutality|Naked Brutality]] starts to craft.
=== Bows ===
Bows are a mid range, generalist option.
* {{Icon Small|short bow|24}} [[Short bow]]s are the simplest ranged weapons in the game, only requiring [[wood]] and a [[crafting spot]].
* {{Icon Small|recurve bow|24}} [[Recurve bow]]s are a direct upgrade to the shortbow, with an increase to damage, accuracy, and range, for only {{Icon Small|wood}} 10 [[wood]] more. Tribal starts begin with Recurve Bows unlocked, meaning they just need a Crafting skill of 5 to make these. At maximum range, recurve bows are surprisingly competitive with early firearms, especially at high qualities. (These can also be made at a [[crafting spot]].)

Bows are at least ''something'' to fight raiders without having to engage in melee. Even without a single melee fighter, 5 tribals with shortbows can easily repel early game raids. Focus fire on 1 target, and don't let melee enemies too close. [[Door]]s can help with early ranged tactics. For example - place 2 doors on opposite ends of a larger building, and when melee raiders get too close, go to the door on the other side.

Naked Brutality players will want to rely on [[spike trap]]s to kill raiders at first, using the shortbow for hunting and to save on traps. Of course, new tribes (and other colonies) can also use traps to their advantage.

=== Pila ===
Pila are incredibly short ranged support weapons.
* {{Icon Small|pila|24}} [[Pila]] are more damaging but less reliable than short bows, and worse for DPS than recurve bows. They have a small range and a massive cooldown, so are poor as standalone weapons. Unlike shortbows but like recurve bows, they can stagger humans. The best use of the pila is a support weapon; place a low-skill fighter with a pila behind melee fighters. They also have some use as a hunting weapon. The high per-shot damage compensates for the lowered range.

Due to its weaknesses and [[Research#Smithing|Smithing]] requirement, pila shouldn't be actively created or sought after. However, a Lost Tribe will start with one.

=== Flamebows ===
Flamebows are specialist weapons that cause fire.
* {{Icon Small|Flamebow|24}} [[Flamebow]]s{{BiotechIcon}} create [[fire]] on the tile it lands on. Watch out for your base. Pawns lit on fire will run around wildly, unable to attack until doused. Fire can also be used to quickly [[temperature|heat]] up any place considered "indoors", causing any enemies to get [[heatstroke]] and burn up. Special traps can be made to take advantage of the heat, just like with [[molotov cocktail]]s. Flamebows cannot be crafted, only bought or dropped from [[impid]] raiders.

== Ranged - Early Industrial ==
Low-tech, conventional firearms. These weapons are often carried by early pirates and outlanders, such as the [[Raider#Scavenger Gunner|Scavenger Gunner]], [[Raider#Pirate Gunner|Pirate Gunner]], and [[Raider#Town Guard|Town Guard]]. Scavenger gunners and pirate gunners in particular can ''only'' carry these weapons (and the [[incendiary launcher]]). These weapons will eventually be outclassed by superior firearms, like the [[heavy SMG]] and [[chain shotgun]]. So while you ''can'' craft these weapons as soon as you research [[Research#Gunsmithing|Gunsmithing]], many players like to wait to craft the weapons from [[Research#Gas operation|Gas Operation]] and onwards, due to the large increase of effectiveness from the more advanced weapons.

Note that weapon [[quality]] has a large impact on combat. Even if you prefer [[revolver]]s, a ''poor'' [[autopistol]] will likely outperform an ''awful'' [[revolver]], and a ''good'' [[recurve bow]] can outperform both (at maximum range). This applies to all weapons, but especially if you are reliant on obtaining weapons from raiders.

=== Handguns ===
Handguns are close-mid range, general combat options.
* {{Icon Small|Revolver|24}} [[Revolver]]s are a low-tier firearm with decent damage at the closer ranges. Revolvers out {{DPS}} autopistols at any range. Unlike many lighter firearms, revolvers can stagger humans, slowing them slightly when a shot hits.
* {{Icon Small|Autopistol|24}} [[Autopistol]]s fire faster than revolvers, making them more reliable at getting at least ''some'' damage in, despite being weaker. They have the fastest cooldown cycle in the game, lending well to hit-and-run tactics against melee opponents.

As the lowest tech firearms, pistols are weaker than most of the options here, but still better than a recurve bow at all ranges. Inaccurate from max range. Both handguns are roughly the same as each other, but revolvers are better as a support weapon, and autopistols better as a main damage dealer.

=== Long ranged ===
These options are effective in any situation (outside of close combat), mostly due to the small effective range of contemporary weapons.
* {{Icon Small|Greatbow|24}} [[Greatbow]]s are on-par with most pistols, but have a higher range. "Greatbows are better than pistols at the pistol's max range". While costing only wood to create, actually researching greatbows is usually not worth all that effort - even for Tribal starts - when other guns are easy enough to get from raiders. Also, they are outclassed by the bolt-action rifle in every reasonable statistic.
* {{Icon Small|Bolt-action rifle|24}} [[Bolt-action rifle]]s are a fairly standard, mid-long range option, only outranged by the [[sniper rifle]]. Best range in this tech level by far, it can shoot just about any enemy as they approach. Like greatbows, they beat pistols at the pistol's max range. Good for open combat, and great for hunting. Preferably used with high-skill shooters.

: Even when you have more advanced weapons, the bolt-action still has a niche. It deals more damage than the sniper while retaining high range. The bolt-action outranges all [[centipede]] variants, and comfortably outranges [[lancer]]s.

Due to enemy AI firing from the closest available cover, meaning they often fire from near-max range, both of these weapons perform very well in the open. Both weapons are good in a long distance firefight, though bolt-action rifles are statistically superior.

=== Short ranged ===
Pump shotguns are a specialist weapon, great at both support and close-range damage. Machine pistols are strong up close, but a good overall weapon (for its tech level).
* {{Icon Small|Pump shotgun|24}} [[Pump shotgun]]s are both powerful and accurate, but have a measly 15.9 tile range. Damage is great, and shotguns can stagger pawns as large as [[centipede]]s.
* {{Icon Small|Machine pistol|24}} [[Machine pistol]]s fire a burst of 3 bullets with a very quick cooldown. Overall DPS beats both handguns up to 19.9 tiles, this weapon's maximum range. It even surpasses the pump shotgun at touch range (3 tiles). Fast cooldown cycle makes it good for hit and run tactics. A clear-cut winner over other pistols.

Short ranged weapons are best used directly behind melee fighters, but remain decent at their maximum range. Like with melee, you can make hallways and tunnels so that you can gun enemies at an effective range. Counter these weapons by using a long range weapon, engaging them in melee, or luring them into [[spike trap]]s before they get too close.

== Ranged - Modern ==
Ranged weapons unlocked from [[Research#Gas operation|Gas Operation]] and onwards. Most, if not all, of these weapons have ''some'' sort of niche or viability even for late- and end- game colonies.

=== Rifles & SMG ===
Rifle-class weapons are generalist weapons, dealing great damage at any range.
* {{Icon Small|Assault rifle|24}} [[Assault rifle]]s are perfect for open engagements, with good damage, above-average range, and high accuracy. They are very good when outside a [[killbox]] (such as repelling breachers and sappers), and respectable inside of one. If you don't need a [[sniper rifle]]'s range, they are the best general weapon for [[kiting]]. Somewhat skill friendly.
* {{Icon Small|Heavy SMG|24}} [[Heavy SMG]]s are skill friendly, close-medium range weapons. Great damage and accuracy up close, remaining decent at longer distances. A strict upgrade to the machine pistol. SMGs are best for low-skill shooters, mostly due to closer range. They can outdamage even charge rifles at <10 tiles, without the hard range restrictions of a chain shotgun.
* {{Icon Small|Charge rifle|24}} [[Charge rifle]]s are high-tech versions of assault rifles. They are stronger and have more {{AP}} than assault rifles at all ranges, with only 2 tiles less range, so they are better than ARs in a large majority of situations. They also have similar damage to heavy SMGs at close range while being better at long distance combat. However, charge rifles are more expensive than the industrial weapons.
* {{Icon Small|Hellcat rifle|24}} [[Hellcat rifle]]s{{AnomalyIcon}} are worse as a regular weapon than assault rifles in nearly every aspect, but have an integrated burner, giving them more flexibility against enemies that get too close, particularly [[entities]].

In general, these weapons are great for general purpose combat and base defense, whenever in static setups or when dealing with [[breacher]]s and [[sapper]]s. They are also the best options for attacks outside of your base.

Charge rifles are the best overall weapon if they can be afforded. Assault rifles are cheaper, and can be better for [[kiting]] due to their slightly higher range. Heavy SMGs are even cheaper and can be a great option in short range combat, comparable to the [[chain shotgun]] and charge rifle. Hellcat rifles have extra flexibility due to their burner, giving them a niche when [[Events/Anomaly|Anomaly events]] occur frequently, or against standard melee enemies that breach lines. Note that [[unique weapon]]s{{OdysseyIcon}} with the [[bioferrite burner]] trait, while not at all reliable to obtain, have a similar benefit to the hellcat while not sacrificing performance.

=== Large burst fire ===
Weapons with a large burst of bullets, but low accuracy and long cooldowns.
* {{Icon Small|LMG|24}} [[LMG]]s fire a 6-shot spray of bullets. Can stagger humans, but lower single-target DPS than the rifles. The LMG is decent for crowd-control, and a good support weapon. The LMG has a stronger niche with the [[Combat in darkness]] [[precept]]{{IdeologyIcon}} active, becoming a high single-target DPS weapon with the range of a heavy SMG, but with a slow firing cycle.
* {{Icon Small|Minigun|24}} [[Minigun]]s fire a massive 25-shot burst, a massively heavy SMG. High cost, wildly inaccurate, and with a huge cooldown cycle, miniguns are dedicated to crowd-control in specialized, stationary setups. Extremely powerful in the right situations.
* {{Icon Small|Beam repeater|24}} [[Beam repeater]]s{{OdysseyIcon}} fire a large burst like a minigun, but are much more accurate, meaning they are more effective against single targets.

Both LMGs and miniguns are decent or good as support weapons, able to mow down crowds of enemies. Missed shots can hit other enemies in the vicinity, meaning their low accuracy is compensated when attacking a horde of tribals. They do well in crowded, stationary setups. The minigun is much more extreme - its optimal DPS is miles above any weapon in the game, but the user becomes a sitting duck, and if the intended target dies during the burst then much of the damage is wasted.

Beam repeaters are better against single targets in a controlled setting, but their long firing time and damage, as well as wasted damage if the target is killed during the fire, make them less appealing than standard rifles.

=== Chain shotgun ===
A very high damage, decent accuracy, low range, specialist weapon.
* {{Icon Small|Chain shotgun|24}} [[Chain shotgun]]s are the strongest non-minigun, non-consumable weapon in the game, but with pitiful range. Perfect for drop pods and infestations.
Chain shotguns are amazing when you can expect or force close combat. Infestations are inevitable for mountain bases, while any form of melee block works well for shotguns. These weapons can also work very well inside a specialized killbox; if you can control/expect where [[sapper]]s and [[breacher]]s will go, shotguns can be a very viable weapon as a colony's sole firearm.

=== Sniper rifle ===
Extreme range, single-shot, specialist weapons.
* {{Icon Small|Sniper rifle|24}} [[Sniper rifle]]s have the highest range in the game, but require a lot of time to aim, resulting in low fire rate. On a normal pawn, overall DPS is weaker than a [[bolt-action rifle]]. With [[Aiming Time]] reductions, damage is greatly increased, making it competitive with even [[charge rifle]]s. Regardless, it is useful for picking off [[siege]]s, lone [[centipede]]s, etc. Very reliant on Shooting skill.

Sniper rifles are great weapons for kiting stationary enemies and the safest weapon for hunting. Fire a shot, and as enemies approach you, back off until they reset to their original position. They are also great at luring [[siege]]s to assault your colony, assuming the siege doesn't have snipers of their own.

For [[trigger-happy]] [[shooting specialist]]s,{{IdeologyIcon}} who reach an Aiming Time of 1%, sniper rifles become a high {{DPS}} weapon. On paper, for those pawns, an excellent sniper rifle ''beats'' an excellent [[charge rifle]] for average DPS at medium range, and a legendary sniper is on the same league as a legendary assault rifle. However, even with aiming time reductions, sniper rifles are worse in close ranges, and lack burst fire (meaning they are less reliable).

=== Charge lance ===
High range, single-shot, high AP.
* {{Icon Small|Charge lance|24}} [[Charge lance]]s have a large per-shot damage and high {{AP}}. However, its range is not much better than an [[assault rifle]], leading to a profile much similar to rifles rather than a sniper. Actual DPS is weaker than the assault rifle. This gives it a weak niche, despite its cost and tech level.

Charge lances are very similar to assault rifles for overall usage, with same damage and range. As its DPS against most targets is lower, this weapon is not recommended to use over assault rifles, at least for most cases. It can be used for dealing with heavily armored enemies, e.g., charge lances perform slightly better than ARs against [[centipede]]s, and much better against [[marine armor]].

=== Beam graser ===
Low damage, high AP, anti-cover weapon.
* {{Icon Small|Beam graser|24}} [[Beam graser]]s{{BiotechIcon}} are threatening weapons when used by enemies, but poor weapons for the colony. They excel at getting enemies out of [[cover]], causing [[fire]]s within a small AOE and ignoring cover to some extent. However, they have short range, poor {{DPS}}, and ideally, when in the colony, raiders should not be given cover in the first place. Also, they cannot benefit from [[quality]].

Beam grasers are dedicated anti-cover weapons. This may have some use when actively attacking enemies in the open, but inflexible, as they are poor in nearly any other situation.

== Explosives ==
=== Grenades ===
Grenades have the shortest range of any colonist weapon in the game, only thrown up to 12 tiles. All grenades have a forced miss radius.
* {{Icon Small|Frag grenades|24}} [[Frag grenades]] are standard explosives. While powerful, they are virtually unable to hit a moving pawn without the player manually leading the target. Good for fighting enemies in [[cover]]. Can be thrown straight for a few tiles in a hallway, and coupled with their AoE and massive damage, they are devastating against massed melee enemies when placed behind melee blockers. Grenades are also ''very'' effective against structures and walls. Breaking a wall fast is rarely helpful, but this property is great for taking out [[mech cluster]]s.{{RoyaltyIcon}}
* {{Icon Small|Molotov cocktail|24}} [[Molotov cocktail]]s create [[fire]]. Unwieldy, and with a small blast, molotovs aren't very effective to throw on top of raiders. Instead, fire can quickly heat up any place considered ''indoors'', burning [[raider]]s and [[insect]]s alive via [[temperature]] mechanics. Mechs are immune to fire and heat.
* {{Icon Small|EMP grenades|24}} [[EMP grenades]] stun [[mechanoid]]s and [[turret]]s for a massive duration and break both [[shield belt]]s and [[low-shield pack]]s,{{RoyaltyIcon}} but are harmless against organic targets. Invaluable for mech raids. Its blast radius is ''much'' bigger than the other grenades. As the blast is bigger than the forced miss radius, these are fairly reliable.
* {{Icon Small|Tox grenades|24}} [[Tox grenades]]{{BiotechIcon}} create [[tox gas]]. This affects colonists and raiders alike, though you can outfit colonists with [[toxic resistance|toxic]] [[Toxic Environment Resistance|protection]]. Tox grenades are best for attacking enemies who are passing through long, winding, and tight corridors, which have no recourse against the poison. [[Vent]]s allow tox gas to transfer between rooms.

=== Launchers ===
Launchers have a greater range than grenades, but have a ''very'' long cooldown (2nd slowest in the game, just faster than the [[pila]]).
* {{Icon Small|Incendiary launcher|24}} [[Incendiary launcher]]s create [[fire]], like molotov cocktails, and just as unwieldy. Despite the range, it is no more accurate. Worse than molotovs for creating ground fires, as it shoots slower. As even molotovs aren't great to throw at raiders, these are most often outclassed by the thrown variant.
* {{Icon Small|EMP launcher|24}} [[EMP launcher]]s stun mechanoids with [[EMP]] damage. They fire slower than EMP grenades, and have a much smaller blast radius than grenades; this usually makes launchers the worse option. While launchers do have a range increase, most mechanoids still outrange it, so this advantage is rather small. Note that Masterwork/Legendary [[quality]] launchers can stun longer than a grenade.
* {{Icon Small|Smoke launcher|24}} [[Smoke launcher]]s create [[blind smoke]], which ''completely prevents [[turret]]s from locking on''. Some form of smoke is invaluable for taking out turret encampments and [[mech cluster]]s.{{RoyaltyIcon}} Smoke also reduces ranged accuracy for any bullet that passes through. Both colonists and enemies are affected equally, so can be useful to support melee attackers.
* {{Icon Small|Toxbomb launcher|24}} [[Toxbomb launcher]]s{{BiotechIcon}} also create [[tox gas]]. Fires slower than tox grenades, but extra launcher range makes it better as a support weapon. Make sure colonists in the blast have some form of [[toxic resistance|toxic]] [[Toxic Environment Resistance|protection]].
* {{Icon Small|Incinerator|24}} [[Incinerator]]s,{{AnomalyIcon}} while not a "launcher" by name, cause flames in a similar but more effective manner than incendiary launchers. They also have an integrated burner as a limited-use, but effective means of burning nearby enemies. They are niche support weapons, can be equipped when fighting [[entities]] vulnerable to fire or as a support weapon for pawns poor at shooting.

=== Consumables ===
Weapons of mass destruction. Rocket launchers have a large warm-up and cooldown for the user. Targeters can be deployed quickly, but also takes some time to actually start the explosions. All of these are single use, and none can be crafted by a colony.
* {{Icon Small|Doomsday rocket launcher|24}} [[Doomsday rocket launcher]]s fire 1 large explosion, followed by smaller flame explosions. Extremely effective against humanoid raiders and lighter mechnoids, as a single launch can cause an entire raid to retreat. Available from [[trade]] or quests.
* {{Icon Small|Triple rocket launcher|24}} [[Triple rocket launcher]]s fire 3 explosions. Each of the three rockets deals the ''same damage'' as the doomsday's main explosion, though with a much smaller radius. Effective against mechanoids and structures in particular, and can still damage a raid quite heavily. Available from [[trade]] or quests.
* {{Icon Small|Orbital power beam targeter|24}} [[Orbital power beam targeter]]s create a massive, fire-based beam centered on a target in [[line of sight]]. Incredibly powerful against humans, but useless against mechanoids. Can attack through overhead mountain. [[Quest]] only.
* {{Icon Small|Orbital bombardment targeter|24}} [[Orbital bombardment targeter]]s fire a total of 30 explosions over a large, 20-tile radius. Stronger than a doomsday against large groups, this item is also [[quest]] only.
* {{Icon Small|Tornado generator|24}} [[Tornado generator]]s create a tornado at your map, on a specific point. This can possibly destroy player structures when used inside your colony, so is mostly useful for offensive operations (or as a last resort). Quest only.

As these are all rare, single-use items, use them for when you can't handle a raid, such as an extra-nasty [[siege]].

=== Mortars ===
[[Mortar]]s are not handheld weapons, but are weapons nonetheless.

* {{Icon Small|Mortar|24}} Mortars have a 500-tile range, but costs a [[mortar shell]] for each shot, and take {{ticks|1800}} to reload. With a massive Forced Miss Radius of 9 tiles (but modified by the user's [[mortar miss radius multiplier]]), they are mostly effective against large groups and/or stationary targets. In addition, they require [[reinforced barrel]]s every 20 rounds. With [[Classic mortars]] enabled, barrels are no longer required but the mortars and shells become more expensive, and the mortar less accurate, to compensate.

Mortars are extremely useful against enemy [[siege]]s. Until they take enough of their own casualties, a siege will continue to lob their own mortar shells, which is devastating to any colony not under overhead mountain. They are also great against other stationary opponents, such as [[crashed ship parts]] or [[mech cluster]]s.{{RoyaltyIcon}}

Each mortar shell has its own purpose:
* {{Icon Small|High-explosive shell|24}} [[High-explosive shell]]: General purpose shell, good against any stationary target.
* {{Icon Small|Incendiary shell|24}} [[Incendiary shell]]: Great for igniting a [[siege]]'s own mortars/mortar shells on fire, potentially causing a chain reaction. But, as the game will start [[rain]] if a fire spreads too far, these shells aren't very useful otherwise.
* {{Icon Small|EMP shell|24}} [[EMP shell]]: Stuns mechanoids. Massive explosion radius makes this ''somewhat'' accurate. Can also disable [[mech high-shield]]s,{{RoyaltyIcon}} so that other mortars can attack through the shield.
* {{Icon Small|Firefoam shell|24}} [[Firefoam shell]]: Creates [[firefoam]], extinguishing fires. The small firefoam radius and introduction of [[firefoam pop pack]]s and [[foam turret]]s make this shell mostly obsolete.
* {{Icon Small|Smoke shell|24}} [[Smoke shell]]: Creates blind smoke in a large radius. As with the [[smoke launcher]], it prevents turrets from locking on and reduces accuracy. While the smoke shell costs resources for each shot (unlike the free launcher), the shell has a larger radius and can be used from further away.
* {{Icon Small|Deadlife shell|24}} [[Deadlife shell]]:{{AnomalyIcon}} Creates [[deadlife dust]] within the area, turning corpses into [[shambler]]s. There are unlikely to be corpses at the edge of the map where raiders spawn, and inside a colony, [[IED deadlife trap]]s are more effective, so the actual deadlife shell is of questionable use.
* {{Icon Small|Antigrain warhead|24}} [[Antigrain warhead]]: A weapon of mass destruction, on and above the level of a doomsday rocket. Quest only, so use it wisely.

Global Learning Factor

Global learning factor is a direct multiplier on the experience gained for skills.

To calculate this value, the game applies any factors to the sum of all offsets and the base 100%. As such, a pawn with the Slow Study gene and the Fast Learner trait has a Global Learning Factor of less than 100%.

Global Learning Factor is only one part of skill XP growth, along with the [[Skills#Passion|Passion Multiplier]] and the base XP from a pawn's action. The base XP is multiplied by both Global Learning Factor and the Passion Multiplier. Because they are multiplicative, The Passion Multiplier has a more significant effect on the learning speed of a given skill than the Global Learning Speed does in most cases. Broadly speaking, pawns with even a minor passion and no learning bonuses will typically learn faster than ones that have no passion, even if the latter has positive traits effecting Global Learning Factor.

The global learning factor does not affect the speed in which [[children]] fill their [[Children#Learning|Learning]] need. For that, see the [[Learning Rate Factor]] stat.

== Factors ==
=== Offsets ===
These values act as offsets to Global Learning Factor. That is they are added to the base value of 100%. For example, a pawn with the Fast Learner trait and a Learning Assistant implant has a final Global Learning Factor of 195%.
* [[Too smart|Too Smart]] trait: {{+|75%}}, while also inflicting a penalty to [[Mental Break Threshold|mental break threshold]].
* [[Fast learner|Fast Learner]] trait: {{+|75%}}
* [[Slow learner|Slow Learner]] trait: {{--|75%}}
* [[Learning assistant]] implant: {{RoyaltyIcon}} {{+|20%}}
* [[Neural supercharger]] building:{{IdeologyIcon}} {{+|25%}}
* [[Gene#Quick study|Quick study]] gene:{{BiotechIcon}} {{+|50%}}
* [[Bliss lobotomy]] hediff:{{AnomalyIcon}} {{--|50%}}

=== Factors ===
* [[Gene#Slow study|Slow study]] gene:{{BiotechIcon}} {{Bad|×50%}}

=== Example ===
The Global Learning Factor of a pawn can be determined by first adding any Offsets to the base factor of 100%, then multiplying by any applicable Factors. as an example, let us determine the Global Learning Factor of a human pawn with the Fast Learner trait, a Learning assistant implant,{{RoyaltyIcon}} and the slow study gene.{{BiotechIcon}}

This pawn's Global Learning Factor would be calculated as:

[100%(base) + 75%(Fast Learner) + 20%(Learning assistant)] * 50% = 97.5%

Note that Global Learning factor will always be multiplied by the pawn's Passion Multiplier to achieve their real learning speed. The chart below shows how Global Learning Factor interacts with Passions.

[[File:ChooseScenario.png|500px|thumb|Default scenario choosing window, with the [[Biotech DLC]] installed and one custom-set scenario.]]

The '''scenario system''' allows you to choose, randomize, and customize special situations to play in. Determine the starting situation, type of community (tribe, colony), permanent map conditions, starting items, animals, health conditions, traits, and change special rules. In the image on the right, you can see the window for choosing scenarios and the "Open Steam Workshop" button (if you are using the steam version of the game).

==New Tribe vs New Arrivals==
Starting scenarios can be roughly grouped into one of two types, determined by the faction type the player will inherit. These are:
*'''New tribes:''' Inherited by the "Lost Tribe" default scenario, and selectable in the scenario editor.
*'''New arrivals:''' Inherited by the "Crashlanded", "Rich Explorer", and "Naked Brutality" default scenarios, and selectable in the scenario editor.

There are some significant differences between the New Tribe and New Arrivals scenarios.

=== Research ===
The most significant difference is the starting [[research]] and the long term effects on research speed. New Tribes begin with a different, and lower tech, set of research projects already completed, as described below. Note that custom and default scenarios may also add additional technologies to these lists.

Furthermore, new tribes start with a tech level of "Neolithic", while new arrivals begin with a tech level of "Industrial". This increases the research points required by new tribes by {{Bad|+50%}} per level for technologies above '''Neolithic''', capped at 200% ('''Industrial'''). Note that most techs on the research tree are classified as '''Industrial''' or higher.

==Default Scenarios==
These four scenarios are in the base game. Each offers a different set of challenges, and encourages different playstyles to a certain extent. For example: you could start off as a 'rich explorer' who came from a high-tech glitterworld but yearned to explore the universe, or you could also start as a desperate tribe that's on the brink of starvation after fleeing from a devastating group of '[[mechanoid|blood machines]]'. On the other hand, you could be managing a few crashlanded civilians who barely escaped an assaulted passenger liner with their lives.

Here are the four scenarios listed in order as shown in game:

{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible" style=display:inline-table

|-

The second raid, arriving 12 hours after the first one, will have a minimum raid points of 8000 and a raid point multiplier of 2. Should the player survive both raids, the mechanoids will stop pursuing them on that tile, as long as the player doesn't land their [[gravship]] back on that same map.
** Landing a [[gravship]] on a map resets both the warning message timer as well as the raid timer of that map.
** The mechanoids will only raid the player if they still have their [[grav engine]].
** Completion of the [[Endings#Odyssey|odyssey ending]] will stop the pursuit, regardless of which option the player chose.
* The Mechanoid Signal quest to get a new [[grav engine]] will not be available.

== Scenario editor ==
[[File:ScenarioEditor.png|200px|thumb|Scenario edit mode]]
The scenario editor looks somewhat like the default scenario choosing window except for the left side of the page has changed, there are now three buttons: Load, which you can use to load your previously saved custom scenarios. Save, which is used to save your custom scenarios. And randomize seed, which is used to randomize the scenario. Under these buttons is the Edit mode, which you can toggle to open a window like the one on the bottom-right.

Roles

2026-04-03T05:45:42Z

Harakoni:

{{Ideology}}
{{Stub|section=1|reason=1) Needs mechanical detail beyond just what the stats are and the tables cover. Inc but not limited to: Minimum age or lack thereof 2) Ability details}}
{{See also|Ideoligion}}
Roles are positions available to pawns that grant them both special benefits and drawbacks. Every ideoligion has at least two roles: '''Leader''' and '''Moral Guide'''. There can be only 1 leader globally, and 1 Moral Guide per ideoligion.

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

== General info ==
When creating an ideoligion, a randomly generated or player specified name is given to the role. For clarity, the wiki uses the generic names of the roles instead as the generated names will not be consistent across playthroughs. Where there are explicit references to the role name, such as in moodlets, the fact that the non-generic name is used will be noted, such as with "<Role Name>".

Some factors are consistent across all roles.
* Pawns can only hold one role at a time.
* All roles lose [[Certainty]] at 50% the normal rate.
* Roles can have assigned equipment that they will demand when they have the role - Leaders and Moral Guides will get a permanent {{--|4}} "''Want <Role Name> apparel''" mood debuff without it. Due to a bug, none of the specialist roles will have the mood debuff happen. Only New Tribe colonies can select the [[war mask]] and [[tribal headdress]] as apparel options, while only New Arrivals colonies can select the [[slicecap]] and [[beret]].{{RoyaltyIcon}}
* A simple ritual is required to assign, remove, or change a role.

Removing a role from a pawn causes a {{--|15}} "''Lost <Role Name> role''" moodlet for 10 days.{{Check Tag|Detail Needed|Does this happen when changing roles and if so, in all instances of role chances. Spec to Spec, Spec to leader, spec to Moral guide, etc.}} This does not happen when changing from a moral guide to leader.

== Mandatory Roles ==
The leader and moral guide roles are mandatory and cannot be removed. You can have 1 leader across all your colonists, even of different ideoligions. You can have 1 moral guide per ideoligion in your colony, so long as the role is activated.

=== Leader ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=General, but also "Leader Resentment" thoughts in Thoughts_IdeoRole.xml}}
[[File:Leader.png|left]]
A leader who holds the group together and represents your faction in diplomatic interactions.

Will always be restricted to any [[Ideoligion#Supreme gender|Supreme gender]] selected.
{{Clear}}
Leader abilities share a cooldown of {{Ticks/gametime|600000}}

Leaders receive a flat +2% to [[Trade Price Improvement]] when they act as [[trade]]rs.

Leaders can select between these apparels as assigned equipment:
* [[Headwrap]]
* [[Broadwrap]]
* [[War mask]]
* [[Slicecap]]
* [[Visage mask]]
* [[Authority cap]]
* [[Cowboy hat]]
* [[Tribal headdress]]
* [[Beret]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}

Leaders have [[expectations]] that are two levels higher than normal.

{| {{STDT| sortable text-valign:top}}
! Ability !! Ability Desc || Ability Effect
|- id="Leader speech"
! Leader Speech<br/>[[File:LeaderSpeech.png|64px]]
| A rousing speech intended to improve morale. Colonists will gather, and the leader will speak for a few hours. If all goes well, listeners will feel inspired, and gain respect for the leader. If it goes poorly, the speech will do social damage. || ?
* The leader must be able to speak to use this ability.
|- id="Work drive"
! Work Drive<br/>[[File:WorkDrive.png|64px]]
| Call on a person to work harder for some time. || ''The sense of being called upon by a leader to work harder.''
* [[Global Work Speed]] +50% for 3 days on another single colonist or slave.
* AoE: another target colonist or slave.
* Duration: {{Ticks/gametime|180,000}}
** Work drive: Tripled increases the duration to 9 days.
* The leader can use this ability even if they are unable to speak.
|- id="Combat command"
! Combat Command<br/>[[File:CombatCommand.png|64px]]
| Create an aura that boosts the combat skills of everyone nearby. The effect lasts 24 hours and remains attached to the leader for the duration. || ''Combat abilities are boosted thanks to being near someone who is using the combat command ability.''
* [[Shooting Accuracy]] +3
* [[Melee Hit Chance]] +3
* AoE: 9.9 tile radius aura centered on Caster
* Duration:
** Aura: {{Ticks/gametime|60,000}}
** Effect: While in aura radius
* The leader can use this ability even if they are unable to speak.
|- id="Trial"
! Trial<br/>[[File:Trial.png|64px]]
| A trial over some heinous accusation. The initiator will accuse someone of terrible wrongdoing and gather people for a trial. Spectators will listen as the accuser and accused argue back and forth, then decide if the accusation is true. If the accused is convicted, you can freely banish, arrest or execute them and nobody will mind. The chance of a conviction depends on the social abilities of the accused and accuser, and the number of spectators.|| If successful, you are allowed to execute, banish, or arrest a person without social consequences.
* The leader must be able to speak to use this ability.
|}

=== Moral guide ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=More ability details}}
[[File:MoralGuide.png|left]]
A moral/spiritual leader who heads rituals and personally counsels believers.

It requires at least 3 colonists with the same ideoligion to activate: [[Slave]]s, [[prisoners]], and quest lodgers do not count. Activation allows the moral guide role to be assigned, but pawns with that ideology receive {{--|5}} "''No <Role Name>''" when the role is unfilled. This requirement persists, even if follower count diminishes, until there's only 1 pawn of that ideoligion left. There is a short grace period when starting the game before the [[mood]]let is applied.

Unlike Leaders, Moral Guides are '''not''' restricted to any Supreme gender selected, the game could randomly add this restriction, but the player could choose the desired option by regenerating the role.
{{Clear}}

Moral Guides can select between these apparels as assigned equipment:
* [[Cape]]
* [[Veil]]
* [[Hood]]
* [[Headwrap]]
* [[Broadwrap]]
* [[Burka]]
* [[Tribal headdress]], only for tribal factions
* [[War mask]], only for tribal factions
* [[Slicecap]], requires Transhumanist meme
* [[Visage mask]]

Moral guides have [[expectations]] that are two levels higher than normal.

Moral guides get a 2x multiplier to the efficacy of their [[Conversion]] attempts.

Moral guide abilities share a cooldown of {{Ticks/gametime|180000}}.

{| {{STDT| sortable text-valign:top}}
! Ability !! Ability Desc || Ability Effect
|- id="Convert"
! Convert<br/>[[File:Convert.png|64px]]
| Attempt to convert someone to the speaker's ideoligion. This will reduce the target's certainty in their own beliefs. The certainty reduction depends on the speaker's negotiation ability. ||
Choose a target who does not share the moral guide's ideoligion. The moral guide will walk over to him and preach for a while.
* The target's [[Certainty]] is reduced by a certain amount, taking into account things like the moral guide's [[Conversion Power]] and the target's [[Global Certainty Loss Factor]] (see [[Conversion]] for details).
* If the ability would bring the target's Certainty to 0 or below, they are converted to the moral guide's ideoligion.
|- id="Conversion ritual"
! Conversion Ritual<br/>[[File:ConversionRitual.png|64px]]
| Try to persuade someone into joining your ideoligion. If it goes well, target's ideoligion certainty will be reduced or they will convert. If it goes badly, they will gain certainty in their old beliefs. || Perform a [[Rituals|Conversion ritual]] on a target who does not share the moral guide's ideoligion.
* The Conversion ritual can only be started if the Convert ability is not on cooldown.
* Depending on the outcome, the target may gain or lose [[Certainty]]. If a loss would bring his certainty to 0 or below, they are converted to the moral guide's ideoligion.
* The ritual, unlike the Convert ability, is not affected by [[Conversion Power]] or [[Global Certainty Loss Factor]]. Instead, the moral guide's [[Social Impact]] and convertee's [[expectations]], as well as the participant count and room [[impressiveness]], determine the outcome.
* Cooldown: The ritual has a reduced quality if repeated within 20 days. In addition, performing the ritual triggers the 3 day cooldown of the Convert ability.
|- id="Counsel"
! Counsel<br/>[[File:Counsel.png|64px]]
| Offer counsel to a person to cancel the effects of a sad memory. The chance of success depends on the speaker's social skills and their relationship with the listener. || ?
|- id="Reassure"
! Reassure<br/>[[File:Reassure.png|64px]]
| Increase someone's certainty in their own beliefs. The regained certainty is based on the speaker's negotiation ability. || ?
|- id="Preach health"
! Preach Health<br/>[[File:PreachHealth.png|64px]]
| Preach moral strength to a sick or wounded person through the concepts of your ideology. This will improve their rate of wound healing and immunity gain. || ''This person's will to survive was reinforced by a talk with a moral guide of their ideoligion. That moral certainty has improved their healing and immunization gain rates.''
* [[Immunity Gain Speed]] {{+|25%}}
* [[Injury Healing Factor]] {{+|25%}}
* AoE: 1 target, touch range
* Cast time: 12s
* Duration: {{Ticks/gametime|60,000}}
Can only be used on pawns who share the moral guide's ideoligion.
|}

== Specialists ==
Specialists are roles that focus on a specific type of task at the expense of most others. Each ideoligion may include at most two different specialist roles, if it has compatible memes.

To be assigned as a Specialist, a pawn must:
* Belong to an ideoligion that includes that role
* Have a minimum of 6 in the relevant Skill
* Be capable of performing work activities relevant to that role

There are two benefits to being a Specialist. One is a passive bonus to all the pawn's work activities within its specialty. The other is a command manually activated by the player, which gives a temporary benefit to either the specialist, to a target, or to all allies nearby.

The drawback is that a Specialist refuses to do most other kinds of work.

Unlike the Leader and Moral Guide roles, each Specialist role may be assigned multiple pawns.

Note that the limit of 2 roles is per ideoligion. If your colony contains multiple ideoligions, each of them can have its own two specialist types.

Sea Ice Guide

2026-04-03T05:44:47Z

Harakoni:

{{TOCright}}

This guide details how to survive in the most hostile environment in the RimWorld planet - [[sea ice]].

== Introduction ==
{{See also|Sea ice}}

The sea ice biome is one of the coldest biomes in the game, with only [[orbit]]{{OdysseyIcon}} being colder. There is almost no animal life and no plants. In fact, you shouldn't expect to find anything more than a few [[snowhare]]s in your start, perhaps an [[arctic fox]] or [[polar bear]] if you're lucky.

There is also a complete lack of soil, ruins, geothermal vents, stone, or ore. [[Moisture pump]]s will generate ice and [[deep drill]]s do not function. All these combined will make developing very slow and tedious. It will be harsh before you get a [[heater]] and a [[hydroponics basin]], then you can plant something indoors. It will still be harsh after that too. You'll have to rely on trading, quests, random events and eventually the [[long-range mineral scanner]] to get any other materials with which to build a base.

Even on the warmest sea ice tiles, it's still really cold. The average varies from {{Temperature|-20}} to {{Temperature|-30}} and they never have growing periods due to the temperature. If you chose a warmer landing spot, you still need to eventually make a [[Colony Building Guide#Freezer|freezer]] though, because the summer temperature can be hot enough to spoil your food. Expect to have problems with hypothermia during fall, winter, spring and during [[events#cold snap|cold snap]]s in summers.

They are particularly bad for travel by caravan. They do not have roads and are always placed in the poles of the world, so they have a big penalty to caravan speed due to winter, which is most of if not the whole year.

It's a deserted, cold, hell.

In order to conquer it, we'll analyze the basics necessary to survive in these conditions and then, what is needed to thrive in it into the endgame. There will be suggestions that branch off from the fundamentals for specific playstyles.

== Immediate Survival ==
[[Colonist]]s have [[needs]], without the which they get a [[mental break]] or die. Sea ice does very little to help here, which makes the biome so challenging. These can be summarized into:
* [[Food]]: Without [[nutrition]], your people will die.
* [[Temperature]]: If your colonist is too hot or too cold, they will die.
* [[Mood]]: The final purpose of [[recreation]], [[beauty]], certain [[moodlet]]s etc; is all to provide a boost to this stat. Keeping this stat up is required for keeping your pawns in a useful, sane, state.

Each of these topics will be covered in their own subsection.

=== Food ===
The most reliable food source is [[hydroponics]], but this requires research, stable heat, lots of electricity, and resources ({{Required Resources|Hydroponics basin}} per basin).

When starting out, colonies can use their starting resources, the initial animals, and trading, but all of these will run out eventually. The two reliable sources of early game food are:
*[[Cannibalism]]: The [[storyteller]] will send raids and events at the normal rate, even in the brutal sea ice. This is particularly sustainable with a single colonist; not only are there less mouths to feed, but the storyteller will constantly generate new recruit events due to [[PopulationIntent]], which can be converted into human meat.
*[[Fishing]]{{OdysseyIcon}}: Provided there is a large body of water, your colonists can survive the temperature, and fishing is researched, fishing can be a potentially year-round source of food.
**By creating a [[room]] with water inside it, it is possible to fish year-round, in a temperature-controlled environment. This can be done by enclosing the body of water, or building a small room on top of it (place [[bridge]]s, make a room on top of the bridges, have a gap of water inside said room, then heat up the room. This allows access to the full lake's worth of fish, even if most of the lake is frozen).

=== Temperature ===
New Arrivals can easily build a [[heater]], although they will need warm clothing for when the electricity goes out. New Tribes can build a [[campfire]] for the early game, and should eventually get enough warm clothing to not require heat.

Any pawn that arrives in your map (allied or enemy) will typically wear [[parka]]s and other warm clothing. Enough sufficient-quality clothing should let colonists survive the cold with no external heating.

The most heat-efficient shape is a square, as rooms loose heat from their edges, and a square has the best area-to-edge ratio. Double-thick walls have twice the insulation as single-walled ones, and rooms adjacent to each other exchange heat, which makes "huddling" all of your rooms together around a central warm room, efficient. You can further make these rooms double-thick as well to give even more heat insulation from the cold outside for the rooms deeper in the base.

As [[raid]]s bust into your base, as soon as your rooms aren't fully enclosed anymore, they are immediately considered "outside" and default to the ambient temperature. This can immediately kill your precious hydroponic rice.

=== Mood ===
This can usually be covered by picking colonist(s) with a helpful mood [[trait]], and/or creating a strong [[ideoligion]].{{IdeologyIcon}} Traits such as [[Iron-willed]], [[Steadfast]], [[Sanguine]] and [[Optimist]] are broadly useful.

Because [[human meat]] is one of the few readily available sources of food, [[bloodlust]], [[cannibal]], and [[psychopath]], and/or their respective [[precept]]s{{IdeologyIcon}} (Cannibalism: Acceptable, Organ Use: Acceptable, and Corpses: Don't Care) are especially helpful. The starting [[xenotype]]{{BiotechIcon}} can be modified to increase mood, cold tolerance, and decrease food consumption.

If a colonist does have a mental break, you can:
* Arrest them: You can release them immediately afterwards. It won't give them the benefit of Catharsis, but it will end the mental break.
* Beat them up: It will end the break, give them Catharsis, but they'll need to spend time recovering. Luckily, with so little to do on Sea Ice, colonist downtime is often much less of a problem here than on other biomes.
* Tank through it: Someone going on a drug binge is not much of a deal when you'd likely have barely any, for example.

Parties, marriage, and successful [[ritual]]s{{IdeologyIcon}} can be a good chance to do mood-hindering tasks like butchering humans.

== Growth ==
After food, temperature, and mood are stabilized, sea ice gameplay becomes slow and potentially tedious, but the gameplay is not itself difficult - it just requires a lot of waiting. It can be a bit more challenging: more can go wrong, it can be harder to recover if something breaks, and playing with a solo colonist always comes with added risk.

===Steel and Components===
[[File:DiagramSteelProductionSeaIce.png|450px|thumb|center|General route to get more resources.]]

The basic design of the game requires [[steel]] and [[component]]s to advance your colony, which do not generate in the sea ice. This means you'll need to resort to [[trade]] to acquire them, and/or use the [[smelter]] on raider weapons to gather the steel you need to advance. While you might get some lucky amounts of steel and components through raider loot and [[event]]s, a coarse, general route for progressing in sea ice is:

* Budgeting and making use of the materials from your starting [[scenario]]: You won't get more for a very long time. What you start with is what you have. I suggest that you use a spreadsheet to plan out what exactly you will be spending your precious wood and steel on.
**For Crashlanded and other similarly advanced starts, I strongly recommend to set aside enough steel for a [[smelter]], a [[sun lamp]], a few [[hydroponics]], a [[comms console]] and [[orbital trade beacon]], which leaves very little left over steel. Remember that you can also smelt down your initial gear, like the [[flak vest]] you start with. The budgeting you will need to do might be extreme.
* [[Smelter]]: The smelter is a free, sustainable source of steel, turning raider gear and chunks from the sky into usable metal.
* [[Mechanoids]]: Once your colony is advanced enough to encounter [[mechanoid]]s, they can be dismantled at a [[machining table]] or [[crafting spot]]. A [[mechanitor]]{{BiotechIcon}} can also call boss raids for steel.
* Trading / [[comms console]]: With a comms console, orbital trade with bulk traders can provide an enormous amount of stone, steel, components, etc., if you have something to buy them with (eg. [[lung]]s, [[heart]]s, etc). Trading through [[caravan]] is also possible if a settlement is nearby, although steel is very heavy.
* [[Long-range mineral scanner]]: A great and infinite source of resources in the late-game, including steel and components. Pack animals, drop pods, or [[passenger shuttle]]s{{OdysseyIcon}} can be used to transport colonists and items both ways. Multiple scanners can be built to find resources faster.

===Late game challenges===
During the late game, after a trading network and/or a long-range mineral scanner is established, gameplay will start feeling like any other biome. A "death spiral" or a colony-collapsing raid remains difficult to salvage, but the temperature and events like solar flares should no longer be an issue.

One thing to note is that, once the colony has progressed to the point that [[mechanoid]]s are allowed to spawn as raiders, and it is below {{Temperature|-40}}, only mechanoids will raid the colony.

== Starting the Game ==

=== Landing site ===

[[File:seaicesite.png|300px|thumb|right|Example good landing site. In Sea Ice, landing near faction bases is recommended for trade.]]

Sea Ice tiles do not have roads or rivers, neither does the ice sheet which is always next to you. Without Odyssey, the only factors to consider are the temperature, proximity to neutral settlements, and the presence of a coast. With Odyssey,{{OdysseyIcon}} the size of lakes/coastlines for [[fishing]] will matter, as will [[landmark]]s (ice dunes can allow an [[ancient danger]] to generate).

Select the temperature range you want: Either the lowest possible, or one that reaches positive temperatures in the summer. Both have their advantages:

* If the temperature reaches positive, trade caravans are allowed to arrive, human raids will occur even in the late game, and [[fishing]]{{OdysseyIcon}} outside is easier. You will not be able to freeze food outside all year around.
* If the temperatures are very low, you can freeze your food outside around the year, and might even be able to build an indoor freezer without a [[cooler]]. The low temperature might kill early game raiders before they can attack your base. However, once you reach the necessary wealth, most raids will be mechanoids, so cannibalism will no longer work. You will still be able to fish, but this requires roofing and heating the water tiles.

If you wish to send trade caravans, choose a tile with friendly faction bases nearby. Lack of mountains nearby will make it easier to caravan to trading spots and eventually [[long-range mineral scanner]] sites.

=== Starting colonists ===
Aside from picking [[traits]] and [[xenotype]]s{{BiotechIcon}} that provide a more direct boost to the fundamentals of mood, food, and temperature, there is more to consider to starting colonists:

==== Skills ====
{{see also|Skills}}

While a lot of skills can find a place in a Sea Ice colony, there are certain ones that are more helpful than others for the pawns that you will have at the very start.

*[[Animals (skill)|Animals]]: This skill helps with [[fishing]]{{OdysseyIcon}}, making it immediately useful for Tribal starts, and eventually useful for other starts. Without Odyssey, this skill is terrible as there won't be enough food to sustain animals in the early game.
*[[Artistic]]: Terrible. There are hardly any materials to work with, until much later on.
*[[Construction]]: Crucial. Especially during the first day, it's very useful to have someone that can build your initial base to stay warm while having the least amount of botches that will waste your precious initial materials.
*[[Cooking]]: Important for tribals because of their reliance on meals, not very useful for advanced starts as the [[nutrient paste dispenser]] gives a higher ingredient-to-food ratio.
*[[Crafting]]: Not very important at the immediate start, similar to Artistic, due to the lack of resources. It can help craft a parka or two, but you can just trade for those items, or stay inside. It can also turn [[human leather]] into more profitable clothing, but selling [[liver]]s, [[kidney]]s and [[lung]]s should be enough profit, and human leather [[armchair]]s are reasonable alternatives.
*[[Medical]]: Very good or crucial. Not only does it help tend to injuries and disease, making it critical for solo colonies, this skill is a great way to pull organs for money.
*[[Melee]]: Good to have but not necessarily important. [[Environment#Terrain|Ice terrain]] has a 48% movement multiplier, and with the complete lack of natural cover (and artificial cover being expensive as all resources are precious on Sea Ice), gap-closing is difficult vs enemy ranged fire.
*[[Mining]]: Terrible. Unless you're banking on an extremely unlikely steel meteorite event to bless your earlygame to get you going, there is just nothing to mine on Sea Ice.
*[[Intellectual]]: Most of what you'll be doing is research, so a passion can help for mood boost and speed. A high starting intellectual skill is not necessary, although it can help get crucial technologies like [[hydroponics basin]] faster.
*[[Plants (skill)|Plants]]: Good eventually, because of how important hydroponics are. If planning on sustaining a long time with cannibalism or fishing, this skill is not important right away.
*[[Shooting]]: Very good and far superior to melee. The complete lack of cover and living on the slowest natural terrain in the game favors ranged combat.
*[[Social (skill)|Social]]: Very good, because of heavy reliance on trading, and the ability to use it to immediately end mental breaks by arresting and then immediately releasing the colonist that is undergoing it.

==== Scenario-specific advice ====
* (Tribal) You can't feed five people; neither can you put them to sleep in cryptosleep -- and people are the only thing you have that is worth something. So, since you can only feed 1-2 people, you have to sell the other three. You won't use them in the beginning, but you might still meet them later on quests.
* (Crashlanded) You have enough [[packaged survival meal]]s to endure until you get [[hydroponics basin]]s researched (if you research [[battery]] then hydroponics). If you have a [[nutrient paste dispenser]], one hydroponics basin produces enough food for one colonist, so it's not compulsory to sacrifice or cannibalize any of your starting three.
* (Rich Explorer & Mechanitor{{BiotechIcon}}) More advanced and with less mouths to feed than Crashlanded, they can reach stability fairly easily.

=== Ideoligion ===
{{Ideology}}

Allowing [[cannibalism]] is obviously very helpful, although if the ideolgion is not fluid, avoid setting cannibalism beyond acceptable (as mechs will be common late game). General mood-enhancers like biogtry and Corpses: Don't Care will help as well.

[[Ritual]]s are a game changer - it is easiest to start with 6 rituals able to be done at any time, and have them provide random recruits or ancient complexes. The random recruit reward will create a pawn, who will come with warm clothing, some meals, and can be used for [[human meat]]. Setting [[tailcap]] as desired apparel is a further benefit as the recruits will all come with tailcaps. Ancient complexes are a building that can be used for shelter and resources. Rituals can make even Naked Brutality a possibiltiy.

=== Base planning ===
Because of how scarce and precious materials are on Sea Ice, it's recommended to plan your base right from the beginning, especially your starting one. Besides what you get from your initial [[scenario]] and the few bits of initial wildlife, the map itself provides no resources outside of [[event]]s, such as [[raid]]s for precious [[human meat]] and [[human leather]].

The whole map is empty, save for a few water pools. The good news is that you can place your base right in the middle and make it very symmetrical, if that's of your fancy. Regardless, remember that it will take a really long time to get the materials to make your base, so you'll likely live in just one of your planned rooms for a very long time.

For your initial base, remember that you can use the silver you start with for walls as steel and wood is extremely precious, and that you don't have to fill in corners.

Because of temperature mechanics, it's important to consider that a square is the most temperature-efficient shape (the least heat loss per tile) and that you should make the warmest rooms closest to the general center of your base so that the outer rooms adjacent from it can "leech" off the heat that radiates off of it rather than it being lost to the fixed outside temperature. Additionally, double walls give double insulation against the cold.

[[File:blueprintsseaice.png|450px|thumb|center|Example of base planning. It's recommended to plan your whole base while you still have nothing built.]]

= Tribal Playthrough, no DLC =

== First agenda ==
* Make your starter base with [[wood]]. Give people a place to sleep, eat and play.
* Whenever you refuel [[campfire]]s, either for cooking or heating up, make sure to disable refueling so they don't refuel it unnecessarily. Forbidding any [[wood]] that is not currently being used will help prevent any mistakes.
* Hunt those [[snowhare]]s before they leave the map.
* If close to a settlement, arrest your three merchandise colonists.
* Sell your merchandise colonists and your starting animals.
* Buy your survival items with the [[silver]] you got from selling your people and animals.
* Make [[lightleather]] [[bedroll]]s.
* Make your [[research bench]] and start researching complex clothing.

Hunt the bunnies, make a room to arrest people, then go sell them.

Go and visit your nearby friendly base to trade your merchandise colonists, your animals and some useless weapons. You should get somewhere between 1500 and 2000 [[silver]] for three colonists and three animals in addition to your starting 200 [[silver]].

Now you have to buy some food, clothes and materials. Since you can't carry all the materials you need, you need to come back to trade many times. Food should be the cheapest option available. [[Nutrient paste meal]]s, insect [[meat]], human [[meat]] and vegetables are the best options. Meat is more expensive but it's better to cook that than buy fancy meals.

Clothes are just a little insulation to save you in the first season, the cheapest [[tuque]] is enough. After that, you need to either make your own clothes or strip clothes from raiders, even if they are tainted.

You need at least 25 [[steel]] to make your [[research bench]] and some [[wood]] to use for cooking. Try to build two [[research bench]]es if you can, otherwise your other colonist will often be idle. Later, you will need more materials to actually build a base. First you want [[wood]] and [[steel]] because they are lighter, but later you want stone blocks, which are cheaper and do not catch fire.

[[File:seaiceminibase.png|350px|thumb|center|Base before the first trade.]]

==== BONUS: Buy a [[muffalo]] ====

You need to keep one colonist at base researching, so trading will be really inefficient with just one colonist to carry stuff. There is one solution before electricity: a [[muffalo]].

It will more than triple your carry capacity and eventually give you [[wool]]. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that a faction base will have a [[muffalo]] for sale, unless you keep reloading before you trade until they have it. If you don't want to do this, you can keep three colonists with you and use two colonists for trading instead. But remember, a colonist eats more and carry less than a [[muffalo]], so it's going to slow down your progress.

[[File:seaiceminibase2.png|350px|thumb|center|Base on first week.]]

== Second agenda ==

* Keep trading to get food whenever needed.
* Keep trading to get materials to make a base.
* Harvest and sell the organs of anyone you capture alive.
* Butcher and eat the meat of any dead bodies you get.
* Make [[human leather]] [[bedroll]]s.
* Make and sell [[human leather]] [[tribalwear]]s.
* Wear their tainted [[parka]]s and [[tuque]]s if you've got nothing better.

=== Notes ===

The first raid should arrive by the end of the first week. Try to have a colonist with a gun or both together in your base when that happens, because you do not have any defenses yet.

Now the fun starts. You will harvest the organs, eat the meat and wear the skin of your enemies. If anyone tries to join your colony, you will sell or harvest them too because you can't currently afford more people. People who you will harvest include:

* Any raider that shows up.
* Any [[Events#Wanderer joins|wanderer that decides to join]].
* Any survivor who arrive in a [[Events#Escape Pod|escape pod]].
* Any refugee who [[Events#Refugee Chased at (Settlement)|asks for help]]. Also the raiders following them.

By butchering your enemies you will get food and leather, which you can make into [[tribalwear]]s and sell, but that won't be enough. Everything you get is through trading, so you should also harvest and sell the organs of anyone you capture alive before eating them. It's worth buying medicine just for that. You don't need to do this every time, but it gets you a lot of money and will greatly speed up your colony building.

=== BONUS: Summon [[Events/Incidental#Man_in_Black|Man In Black]] ===

Getting the [[Events/Incidental#Man_in_Black|Man In Black]] to show up when you have so few people is really easy. Just set their 'Food Restriction' to 'Nothing' and wait until people collapse. Then use him to bring people back up.

The Man in Black comes with good gear. You should strip his gear and sell him into slavery, or harvest him.

[[File:summonmib.png|350px|thumb|center|Base on second week with MIB.]]

== Third agenda ==

* Buy guns.
* Do all the quests you can, loot and butcher anything and anyone you see.
* Buy [[cloth]] from your neighbors.
* Once you've researched complex clothing, make [[parka]]s and [[tuque]]s with [[cloth]].
* Make and sell [[human leather]] [[duster]]s.

=== Notes ===

Make sure to buy some decent guns since your researcher colonist will likely have to defend themself alone while your other colonist is outside trading. Fortunately, you'll be so poor that even on the hardest difficulty, it's likely you'll only face raids of one single melee enemy for the whole first year.

Once your colonists have [[parka]]s and [[tuque]]s you should take every opportunity available to go to another map. Your trading colonist should always be either trading or doing quests. Do not forget to take a [[bedroll]] with them on quests. Quests that matter now include:

* [[Events#Item Stash Opportunity (Time Remaining)|Item stashes]].
* [[Events#Incapacitated refugee|Incapacitated refugees]].
* [[Events#Prisoner rescue opportunity|Prisoner rescue]].
* [[Events#Bandit camp opportunity|Destroy enemy outposts]].

You'll have more things to care about here than you normally would. It's important that you butcher every animal you find and every raider you kill on the quest locations. You might find your previous colonists (which you sold before) on those quests. If your [[human leather]] clothes and organs business is doing well, you can afford to bring one more person to your colony. Don't forget that you'll have to buy more meals for each person you save. Anyone you don't like can be sold or harvested once you return home.

[[File:seaicequest.png|350px|thumb|center|Lonely sea ice quest.]]

Your research is really slow, since you only have one person at home taking care of everything and doing research at the same time. So another thing to focus on is furniture that you can carry home, since it will take a while for you to be able to make them. [[Heater]]s, [[battery|batteries]] and [[mini-turret|turrets]] are also great to bring home. You don't have electricity yet, but once you do, you're going to have lots of things to plug in.

Make sure you have good clothes before winter starts. It's also about the right time to get rid of tainted clothes and make your own. Go buy [[cloth]] and make some decent [[parka]]s and [[tuque]]s with it. Most importantly, make and sell lots of [[human leather]] [[duster]]s because they are worth a lot.

[[File:seaicequest2.png|350px|thumb|center|Even in sea ice quests are quite profitable.]]

== Fourth agenda ==

* Research complex furniture.
* Make [[bed]]s.
* Replace your walls with stone.
* Replace the [[cloth]] [[parka]]s with better insulating [[parka]]s.

=== Notes ===

Winter makes caravans even worse than they already are. Despite that, you can never stop trading -- nor can you stop doing quests.

Time to make improvements. If you have at least two rooms and all the necessary workbenches, you can start replacing your walls with stone so raiders won't try to set them on fire. Alternatively you can put a second layer over your [[wall]]s made of [[stone]]. Replace your [[bedroll]]s with [[bed]]s. If you want, you can also make some comfortable [[human leather]] [[armchair]]s and [[human leather]] [[animal bed]]s.

Try to replace your [[cloth]](cold insulation 18) for [[bearskin]](cold insulation 20), [[bluefur]](cold insulation 20), [[foxfur]](cold insulation 20), [[devilstrand]](cold insulation 20), [[alpaca wool]](cold insulation 22), [[synthread]](cold insulation 22), [[wolfskin]](cold insulation 24), [[muffalo wool]](cold insulation 24), [[megasloth wool]](cold insulation 26), [[hyperweave]](cold insulation 26), [[chinchilla fur]](cold insulation 30), [[heavy fur]](cold insulation 30) or [[thrumbofur]](cold insulation 34).

Your best bet is [[thrumbofur]] [[parka]]s with [[muffalo wool]] [[tuque]]s. [[Thrumbo]] is the only animal guaranteed to show up in sea ice and you should already have a [[Muffalo]] with you for [[wool]].

[[File:seaiceminibase3.png|350px|thumb|center|Base after a whole year.]]

== Fifth agenda ==

* Research electricity.
* Set up defenses.
* Set up power.
* Make a kitchen.

=== Notes ===

Your second year will be just as hard as the first one. You still have to harvest and eat your enemies while trading [[human leather]] [[duster]]s and organs for materials for your base.

You probably already learned to live from trading and quests by now, and may add another colonist. You should not expect to finish electricity before the end of the second year. So unfortunately, your food will spoil in the second summer. You can try to keep the stocks low to avoid loses or turn your food into [[pemmican]].

Now however, you've got more people so you've got to set up some kind of defense, because raiders will be more numerous. This place is wide open, so you want to make an enclosed environment where you can shoot raiders from behind [[sandbag]]s without getting outranged. In other words, you want a [[Colony Building Guide#Killbox|killbox]]. Once you finish electricity, you can finally use those [[mini-turret|turrets]] that you got from enemy outposts. If you could not bring any [[battery]]s home from quests, you'll have to research them now.

When you are setting up power, keep in mind that [[solar generator]]s will not work at all during winter in sea ice.

With electricity, you can finally make a [[electric stove]] so you may stop buying [[wood]].

[[File:seaiceminibase4.png|350px|thumb|center|Basic defense.]]

== Sixth agenda ==

* Research air conditioning.
* Make a [[Colony Building Guide#Freezer|freezer]].
* Research nutrient paste.
* Make a [[nutrient paste dispenser]].
* Research microelectronics.
* Make a [[comms console]].

=== Notes ===

Your third year will come with lots of improvements and you can finally start feeling like you are playing on a normal map.

Your first priority after electricity is air conditioning, so you stop losing all your food in summer. Once you're done researching it, make a [[Colony Building Guide#Freezer|freezer]]. That will even allow you to accept more people in your colony since your food now lasts forever.

Then you want to make the almighty [[nutrient paste dispenser]]. It frees your cooker to do other stuff, completely prevents food poisoning and reduces your food consumption by 40%. You may even buy another [[Muffalo]] now to speed up trading.

Then, to increase your trading opportunities, you want a [[comms console]]. Any [[Trade#Bulk goods trader 2|bulks good trade ship]] that shows up will be a blessing to your colony development.

=== BONUS: Buy [[Joywire]]s ===

You might have noticed by now that your worst enemy isn't the hunger or the raiders, but the mood penalties that come with harvesting and eating people. Still, you can't stop it, since without that you'd lose your main source of food and your two main sources of [[silver]] ([[human leather]] [[duster]]s and organs).

Now that you have a little extra [[silver]], you can buy a solution: the [[Joywire]]. Overall, in such a stressful colony this implant is well worth it. The drawbacks of the [[Joywire]] can later be offset with bionics.

[[File:seaiceminibase5.png|350px|thumb|center|The almighty [[nutrient paste dispenser]].]]

== Seventh agenda ==

* Research hydroponics.
* Make a [[Colony Building Guide#Greenhouse|greenhouse]].
* Research biofuel refining.
* Research gun turrets.

=== Notes ===

You are on your fourth year and still have yet to plant something, so you start wondering if you even need to plant anything at all.

A [[Colony Building Guide#Greenhouse|greenhouse]] will require a lot of power, which means you will have to defend a larger area to put extra [[wind turbine]]s in. You will also want to add a lot more [[battery|batteries]] to store power at night so it may be used during the day. Make sure that your [[Colony Building Guide#Greenhouse|greenhouse]] is as small as possible to take less power, and is covered by double walls to increase insulation.

The [[Colony Building Guide#Greenhouse|greenhouse]] will allow you to stop buying food to survive and stop the cannibalism. Of course, it will also allow you to have more colonists. But first, you should plant some [[healroot]] so you can harvest organs without using good medicine. Also plant [[smokeleaf]] and [[psychoid plant]], so you can make [[smokeleaf joint]]s and [[psychite tea]] to reduce the overall stress in your colony. Then you may plant some food.

Without the cannibalism, you may turn your human [[meat]] into [[chemfuel]]. Then you can use [[chemfuel powered generator]]s during winter and [[solar generator]]s during other seasons.

You are getting wealthy and the raiders know it. Eventually, the turrets you get from quests will not be enough, so you need to research them so that you can make more of them by yourself.

[[File:seaiceminibase6.png|350px|thumb|center|The [[Colony Building Guide#Greenhouse|greenhouse]].]]

== Eighth agenda ==

* Research and build a [[long-range mineral scanner]].

=== Notes ===

There is one last thing worth focusing on in sea ice. The [[long-range mineral scanner]].

The scanner works normally on sea ice. If you set a colonist to work on it full-time, it can pick up locations of minerals faster than you can retrieve them. Which means you can endlessly make quests for minerals to greatly increase the amount of materials available for you to build your base.

However, you should keep in mind that minerals are heavy, so you need lots of [[Muffalo]]s to carry it. Like a whole 8 [[Muffalo]]s and 6 colonists to mine [[Uranium]]. Which is why it's better to make it after your [[Colony Building Guide#Greenhouse|greenhouse]], because then you can support all the [[Muffalo]]s you need.

[[File:seaicequest3.png|350px|thumb|center|Mining in sea ice.]]

== Tenth year ==

With all that empty space, make a huge symmetrical base.

[[File:seaicebigbase.png|450px|thumb|center|Result of early base planning.]]

* Build 1 [[wind turbine]] and one [[heater]] inside a small room where your colonists will spend the vast majority of time.
* [[Steel]] and [[component]]s will be worth their weight in gold. Can be obtained by ship chunks, meteors and traders.
* Warm clothes can be taken from raiders.
* Research batteries and build 1-2 near the house.
* Then turn to hydroponic research. Build 3-4 batteries, 2-3 wind turbines, a sun lamp, and at least 2 basins per pawn (assuming nutrient paste is used). You have a source of food.
* Using an [[electric smelter]] and [[comms console]] will provide a renewable supply of resources once established.

== Naked Brutality ==
Hopeless in Core. Technically possible by living nomadically, traveling through tiles to kill snow hares, and getting lucky with early events. Certain DLCs can make settling down possible:
*[[Ideology]]:{{IdeologyIcon}} It is possible to "cheese" the scenario through an ideoligion that has rituals with the random recruit reward. Random recruits will come with a few meals, a weapon, and warm clothing, and the pawn itself can be used as human meat. Ancient complex rituals can also be used, generating a large deconstructable building that also provides a constant supply of raids. As of 1.5, rituals cannot stray too far from the comfortable temperature, but it can get warm enough in the day, and/or a [[xenotype]]{{BiotechIcon}} with a high cold tolerance can be used.
*[[Odyssey]]:{{OdysseyIcon}} The ice dune [[landmark]] makes it possible for an [[ancient shrine]] to generate. If lucky enough that no hostiles spawn, or if hostiles can somehow be defeated, the ancient shrine will provide shelter, insulating [[power armor]], and other supplies. [[Fishing]] can provide a source of food once it is researched.
