'''Glitterworld medicine''' is the most powerful [[medicine]] available in RimWorld, which can only be produced on [[Glitterworld]]s. Like other medicines, glitterworld medicine is used in [[doctoring]] practices. It is also used to provide materials for the [[Biosculpter pod#Bioregeneration|Bioregeneration cycle]] of the [[biosculpter pod]]{{IdeologyIcon}}.

Any form of medicine can be used whenever a [[doctoring|doctor]] tends to an [[injury]] or [[disease]]. In most cases, medicine does not directly cause healing. Instead, using medicine and better types of medicine will increase [[tend quality]], increasing the [[injury#Healing rate|rate of healing]] for injuries, or slowing down progression of a disease. For [[gut worms]] and [[muscle parasites]], tend quality is directly used to cure the disease.

With a Medical Potency of 160%, glitterworld medicine has a +60% bonus to tend quality and surgery success chance when compared to industrial [[medicine]]. It's over twice as powerful as [[herbal medicine]] for these purposes. Note that there is a cap to both tend quality and surgery success chance (e.g. you may reach the maximum surgery success chance with industrial medicine).

Glitterworld medicine is the strongest medicine in the game, the rarest, and the most expensive. If you are using it to tend to bruises and cuts, it's most likely wasted. All colonists have glitterworld set by default, and doctors always use the best medicine available for all injuries, resulting in waste. This can be changed in a couple of ways. In the [[assign]] tab, you can set colonists and other pawns to [[herbal medicine]] or industrial [[medicine]] at maximum. Alternatively, you can forbid the medicine item, which will prevent doctors from using it. (Just remember to unforbid it.)

Outside of the [[biosculpter pod]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, glitterworld medicine is best used for 1. [[surgery]] and 2. [[disease]]s, especially for immunocompromised pawns. Early in the game, a dose used on a [[pawn]] can mean the difference between living and dying from the [[plague]]. And in an emergency, this medicine can be used to tend to many bleeding wounds quickly. Note that with a good doctor, clean room, and [[hospital bed]], it is possible to reach the 98% surgery success cap and 100% tend quality with [[medicine|industrial medicine]]. This makes glitterworld medicine largely unnecessary by the late game.

−
* Assuming a pawn has 100% Immunity Gain Speed and is tended reasonably quickly, having 100% tend quality is enough for all diseases except grave [[infant illness]]{{BiotechIcon}}.
 
−
* Surgery success is capped at a 98% chance, no matter what medicine you use. Therefore, if you can reach 98% surgery success with regular medicine, you don't need to use glitterworld medicine.
 
  
−
Once you get to this point, glitterworld medicine can compensate for poor doctors, injured/sick doctors, or unclean hospitals. For example, it can help during [[caravan]] travel. Also, certain surgeries like [[carcinoma]] removal have a higher chance to fail. It is also required for [[biosculpter pod|bioregeneration]]{{IdeologyIcon}} or instantly curing [[paralytic abasia]].{{RoyaltyIcon}}
+
All colonists have glitterworld medicine as their highest level of medicine usage by default. Doctors always use the best medicine available, which means they will use glitterword medicine any time a colonist needs medicine, even if herbal medicine or even no medicine would be sufficient. Due to its price and the difficulty to acquire it compared to other types of medicine, this can be a huge waste. This can be gotten around in a number of ways. One is to forbid any glitterworld medicine you have until it's needed, which will stop doctors from touching it. Another is to set all colonists' medicine level to [[industrial-tech medicine]], which will make ''that'' the best medicine available to them. Just remember to unforbid or allow glitterworld medicine usage when it's needed.

== Trivia ==
+
In terms of its optimal use in regards to its medical potency: Glitterworld medicine is best used in surgical operations and bringing people from the brink of death when it comes to diseases such as the dreaded [[plague]]. In the case of wound treatment and normal disease treatment, it is significantly overkill unless you have a highly incompetent doctor who simply can't get the job done with ordinary medicine.
−
Unlike other medicines, glitterworld medicine will play a beeping sound effect when it is used for tending, so you can know when your colonists are using it.
