Luciferium
A concoction of mechanites that dramatically improve the body's functioning in all respects. Over time, it can even heal old scarred-over wounds or brain damage, though it cannot regenerate lost limbs. 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.

Luciferium is a rare, powerful and expensive drug that can either be purchased, dropped by raiders or found in ancient structures. There is no way to produce it. Luciferium's main use is to save one's life with a dramatic blood filtration improvement, but it also affects most of the other capacities. Additionally, Luciferium can heal old scars or permanent injuries, as long as the part is not destroyed or missing. 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.
Luciferium has to be taken every 6.667 days, otherwise the mechanites in Luciferium will lose cohesion, and a violent and possibly fatal 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.
Luciferium can be administered to animals via the operations menu, substantially improving their combat effectiveness. Sometimes, animals may also take Luciferium randomly by themselves if it is within their allowed zone.
Luciferium addiction cannot be removed with the healer mech serum and a colonist resurrected via the resurrector mech serum will remain addicted.

Withdrawal Symptoms
Luciferium withdrawal is the worst out of any drug, as it's the only drug that will eventually kill if not taken regularly. Although it doesn't have as sizable of an impact in terms of capacities compared to drugs such as psychite, wake-up or go-juice, luciferium is deadly. Typical withdrawal symptoms include very frequent berserk mental breaks, acute pain, and impaired consciousness. Advanced withdrawal symptoms include death in an average time of 10 days after withdrawal starts. Unlike other withdrawals, Luciferium withdrawal doesn't directly affect mood. Instead, it indirectly affects mood with the 'Acute Pain' thought.
Detailed Symptoms
- Acute pain (+40%)
- Impaired consciousness (80% max)
- Berserk mental breaks (mtb of 0.4 days)
- Death (mtb of 10 days)
