A Drum is a source of musical recreation, as well as being used in the Drum Party ritual. The Drum was added by the Ideology DLC.

Acquisition[edit]

Drums can be constructed, each requiring Stuff 30 Stuff (Leathery/Fabric), Wood 50 Wood and 800 ticks (13.33 secs) of work modified by the construction speed of the builder and the work to build factor and offset of the material. Pawns do not need an ideoligion with the drum party ritual in order to build this item.

Summary[edit]

At least 1 drum is required to start the drum party ritual. Each drum played adds +5% quality to the ritual, increasing the chance for a positive outcome. 50% of participants, rounded up, will actually play a drum.

Analysis[edit]

Drum parties are one of the strongest rituals, with the biggest good mood modifiers (+8 / +16), and a chance at a +20% Global Work Speed buff independent of the regular ritual reward. However, drums require a textile to create, which can be a little difficult to obtain at the start of the game, before your first cotton plants have finished growing.

Drums are generally cheaper than the loudspeakers used for the dance party; loudspeakers require Steel 80 Steel, Component 2 Components per speaker. However, pawns do not have to play a loudspeaker - 6 loudspeakers will give max quality, regardless of how many pawns you have. Drums also take 1 more tile of space due to requiring an interaction spot. Dance Party and Drum Party are otherwise equivalent rituals, with the same moodlets and same possible Global Work Speed buff.

Drums are technically a cheap way to get musical recreation, however colonists will only play drums during drum rituals, gaining both the recreation from the ritual passively, and the recreation from the drum from actively playing it. For this reason HarpsContent added by the Royalty DLC may be more practical but also require their own research to make.
