+ | For use as a mood control drug, yayo is far preferable to flake, with stronger effects and only one fifth as addictive (1% vs 5% addictiveness). Psychite tea is considerably weaker, but it is much less addictive than either of the other two and, unlike them, has a safe usage interval. It is thus a significantly safer option than either. This makes tea far more useful for regular use, while yayo is more appropriate for mood emergencies. Though there is no minimum tolerance to get addicted to Flake, it still contributes to tolerance to Psychite tea. | ||

The most economical option depends on which is the greater bottleneck: converting the leaves to the drug, or producing the leaves in the first place. |
− | |||
− | |||
− | If | + | If converting the leaves into drugs is the bottleneck then there are two options. The psychoid leaves could be turned into yayo, however converting as much as possible to flake and then selling the remaining psychoid leaves themselves is even more efficient. For example, a pawn requires {{ticks|35000}} of work and 800 psychoid leaves to synthesize 100 yayo worth {{icon Small|silver||2100}}. With the same amount of work, a pawn could craft 140 flake worth {{icon Small|silver||1960}} and consume 560 of the 800 psychoid leaves. The remaining 240 psychoid leaves are worth {{icon Small|silver||456}} for a total of {{icon Small|silver||2416}}. This is not without its downsides however - fewer traders accept psychoid leaves than accept drugs and without refrigeration, the leaves will eventually rot away. Thus, if the player is likely to caravan to a settlement or receive a relevant trader before they rot entirely away, or can accommodate the refrigeration of leaves long term, converting to flake and selling the remainder of leaves is ideal. If they cannot, converting to yayo for storage may be necessary. |
+ | If psychoid leaf production is the bottleneck and there is insufficient leaf supply to fully occupy your drug synthesizers' time, producing flake is the optimum as it produces more value per leaf at the cost of more work. | ||
− | + | If caravan weight is a limiting factor, yayo is worth more proportional to [[mass]], however the low weight of all the options mean this is unlikely to be relevant as a single [[muffalo]] can carry almost 20 stacks of flake worth over 20,000 silver. | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | [[Psychite tea]] is economically inferior to both; its primary advantage instead lies in its use by colonists. It is produced at a [[campfire]] or stove with the [[Cooking]] skill and only the [[Research#Psychoid brewing|Psychoid Brewing]] research however, and thus may be a more accessible in the early game. | |
