Stat Modifiers
Ambrosia is a foodstuff that is only obtainable through the ambrosia sprout event or by trading.
It provides a +5 mood buff when eaten, as well as a hefty +50% to joy, but is slightly addictive.
It is classified as a drug in-game.
Addiction
Addiction to ambrosia is trivial compared to other drugs; it takes only 10 days before full recovery, and does not impair functioning; it only causes a -10 mood debuff as that pawn craves more ambrosia.
It is also somewhat rare to get an ambrosia addiction, as each fruit only has a 1% chance to give one.
Harvesting
It is harvested from ambrosia bushes. They can be harvested multiple times before dying, each time yielding 4 fruit when fully grown.
A good way to harvest them is to draw a growing zone over them, but forbid sowing. Colonists will then automatically harvest the bushes when they are fully grown.
