Colonists with a high mood can randomly have mental inspirations, giving a stat boost for some time. Unlike mental breaks, you retain full control of the mentally inspired colonist.
At 100 mood, colonists have an inspiration on average once every 10 days. This can be a huge bonus to a colony, so if you find your colonists' moods are running pretty high, that might be a good time to rigorously enforce MORE recreation, to push them over the edge into inspiration.
Some traits prevent certain types of inspirations. Additionally, the pawns with the Tortured Artist trait have a 50% to gain an Inspired Creativity inspiration after a mental break ends, with a possible exception of "Run Wild" mental breaks. These pawns can be "encouraged" to create better artworks, furniture, or craftables (if your tortured artist is also capable of construction or crafting, respectively) by giving them low quality accommodation on purpose.
Go frenzy
Colonists' great mood lifts them up and makes them move 1.4x as fast, as long as he feels inspired.
Base duration: 8 day
Minimum skill: None
Incompatible Trait: Slowpoke
Inspired creativity
A sudden burst of inspiration gives colonists insight on how to make a quality item. After it is completed, that item will be 2 levels higher than it would otherwise be, allowing for the creation of legendary items. The inspiration is only good for 1 object.
Base duration: 8 days
Minimum skill: Artistic 3 / Crafting 3 / Construction 3
Inspired recruitment
Colonists gain insight on how to recruit prisoners into the colony. They will successfully recruit the next prisoner they attempt to recruit, regardless of difficulty or remaining resistance.
To make the most out of the recruitment, you may manually have the warden prioritize the recruitment attempt on a specific prisoner. If the prisoner has been talked to recently, you will need to disable warden interactions for that prisoner, and wardening for the inspired warden, then wait a while before enabling them both.
The inspiration ends after a prisoner is recruited.
Base duration: 8 days
Minimum skill: Social 3
Inspired surgery
Colonists become more concentrated in surgeries after being inspired, and as a result, the success chance for the next surgery will be doubled. This will have little effect if your surgeon's base surgery success chance is already very high. None if somehow it is above 100% but can make a great difference for those with lower Medicine skill who are not good surgeons yet, or operations such as carcinoma removal that have a lower chance of success.
The inspiration ends after a surgery is performed, even if the surgery fails.
Base duration: 8 days
Minimum skill: Medical 3
Inspired taming
Colonists are inspired about taming animals. They will successfully tame the next animal regardless of difficulty.
The inspiration ends when an animal is tamed.
Base duration: 8 days
Minimum skill: Animals 3
Inspired trade
Colonists are inspired about how to obtain great deals. They will get a great 18% boost in trade prices, essentially meaning 12 more levels of Social skill.
After one successful trade deal, the inspiration ends.
Base duration: 8 days
Minimum skill: Social 3
Shoot frenzy
Colonists are somehow inspired to shoot more accurately and will shoot as if they have 8 more shooting levels than they do.
This is more useful if the colony frequently receives raids or if the inspired colonist is a hunter.
Base duration: 8 days

Incompatible Trait: Brawler
Work frenzy
 | This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Does this multiplication occur before or after the effect of traits such as Industrious. |

Legacy inspirations
Inspired art
A sudden burst of inspiration gives colonists a great idea for a piece of art, and after it is completed, that piece of art will be 3 levels higher than it would otherwise be. The inspiration is only good for 1 piece of art.
It was replaced by Inspired creativity in Beta 19.
Base duration: 8 days
Minimum skill: Artistic 6
