'''Glitterworld medicine''' is the most powerful [[medicine]] available in RimWorld, only found 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}}.

== Acquisition ==
Glitterworld medicine cannot be crafted, however, it may be purchased from [[trade|exotic goods traders]] or [[faction base]]s for around 55 - 70 silver. It can also be give as a [[quest]] reward, found on some raiders, given as a gift by a visiting caravan, or found in [[ancient shrine]]s.

A [[noble]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} of Baron/Baroness or higher can use the "Glitterworld medicine drop" [[permit]] to call for a drop of 5 glitterworld medicine. This permit can be used once every 45 [[time|days]] and costs 8 honor if used within the cooldown time.

Finally, the [[Scenario_system#The Rich Explorer|Rich Explorer]] starting scenario begins with 30 glitterworld medicine.

== Summary ==
{{stub|section=1|reason=Tend speed}}
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).

=== Specific uses ===
In addition to its use as a stronger form of medicine, glitterworld medicine is specifically called for in several circumstances:
* Cure [[Paralytic abasia]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}: {{Icon small|Glitterworld medicine||10}}
* Cure [[Blood rot]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}: {{Icon small|Glitterworld medicine||10}}
* [[Biosculpter pod]]'s{{IdeologyIcon}} Bioregeneration cycle: {{Icon small|Glitterworld medicine||2}}

== Analysis ==
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}}

== Trivia ==
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.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/0.8.657|0.8.657]] - Added.
* Beta 19 - a new description added, and market price was cut in half to 50 silver. Also received a slight retexture and medical potency was nerfed. Renamed from '''Glitterworld medicine''' to '''Ultratech medicine'''.
* 1.0 - Name change to '''Ultratech medicine''' reverted back to '''Glitterworld medicine'''.
