 | This article is suggested to be rewritten. Reason: Currently written in descriptive language, but needs mechanical specifics. also needs acquisition (inc mood math), info on WoI, and an analysis section. You can help the RimWorld Wiki by improving it. |
 | This page could use some more or updated images. You can help RimWorld Wiki by uploading images to make this page better. Note: Icon from colonist bar that designates an inspiration. |
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, a colonist has an inspiration on average once every 10 days.[Wb lower?] This can be a huge bonus to a colony, so if you find some of your colonists' moods are running pretty high, that might be a good time to rigorously enforce MORE recreation for them, 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[Verify]. These pawns can be manipulated to create Quality work of all types by intentionally giving them a generally poor environment such as through awful accommodations, poor food, no access to recreation, and/or any other stressors.
Colonists can only have one inspiration at a time. Having an inspiration prevents any others until the current inspiration ends.
There are 8 different types of inspirations that can strike, chosen at random from all the options for which the affected colonists meets the requirements.
Inspirations
Go frenzy
<NAME> will move faster for the next 8 days.
- A colonist's great mood lifts them up and makes them move 1.4x as fast, as long as they feels inspired.
- Base duration: 8 day
- Minimum skill: None
- Incompatible Trait: Slowpoke
Inspired creativity
<NAME> The next item, art, or furniture [PAWN_pronoun] creates will be two quality levels higher than it would otherwise be. This even allows the creation of legendary items. The inspiration will end after 8 days, or when the creation is completed.
See also: Quality
- A sudden burst of inspiration gives colonist insight on how to make a quality item. After it is completed, that item will be 2 Quality levels higher than it would otherwise be, allowing for the creation of legendary items. The inspiration is only good for the next single object created, after which the inspiration ends.
- Base duration: 8 days
- Minimum skill: Artistic 3 / Crafting 3 / Construction 3
Inspired recruitment
<NAME> will successfully recruit the next prisoner regardless of difficulty or resistance. The inspiration will end after 8 days, or when the prisoner is recruited.
- A colonist gains insight on how to recruit prisoners into the colony. They will successfully recruit the next prisoner they attempts 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 next time <NAME> performs a surgery, [PAWN_possessive] chance of success will be doubled. A small minimum chance of failure still applies. The inspiration will end after 8 days, or when the surgery is performed.

Note however that the 98% success rate maximum still applies i.e. there will always be a 2% chance of failure. Thus high skill doctors operating in high quality hospitals can receive no benefit from this inspiration but it 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.[Fact Check]
