Unfortunately, without the moderating effects of regular doses every five or six days, the mechanites lose cohesion, causing continuous berserk rages and, eventually, death.
After the first dose, there is no way to get the mechanites out, ever.
On the urbworlds, they call Luciferium the 'Devil's Bargain'. Many have been forced to kill friends when no more of the seductive red pills could be found.
Gameplay Overview
Luciferium is a drug that can either be purchased, or found on raiders - there is no way to produce Luciferium. The main purpose of Luciferium is to save one's life with the dramatic blood filtration improvement it provides, but it also affects most of the pawn's other capacities. As it is a rare yet powerful drug, Luciferium is expensive to purchase and is found in scant amounts in ancient dangers.
Luciferium has to be taken every 6.667 days, otherwise the mechanites in Luciferium will lose cohesion, and a violent withdrawal will begin. In order to safely prevent this, create a Luciferium drug policy which is set not to satisfy addiction, but instead to take it every 6 days, and pocket 1 extra so that it can be taken as soon as possible.
