Luciferium addiction is unique in that it is permanent - there is no waiting it out. If not taken regularly, luciferium will eventually kill. Pawns will remain addicted even after applying [[healer mech serum]] or [[resurrector mech serum]]. The only possible way to save someone going through a luciferium withdrawal is to give them more luciferium. | Luciferium addiction is unique in that it is permanent - there is no waiting it out.

Curing these would otherwise require the much rarer [[healer mech serum]] or DLC-exclusive options such as the [[biosculpter pod]] {{IdeologyIcon}} or the Scarless [[gene]] {{BiotechIcon}}. [[Alzheimer's]] and [[dementia]] can only be cured by a serum or luciferium, while [[carcinoma]] on an irreplaceable body part requires either the mech serum, long term and potentially ineffective treatment, or a surgery with an unavoidable chance of instant death. The increase in blood filtration also increases [[Immunity Gain Speed]], which can help fight off otherwise fatal diseases (whenever from old age or poor treatment). |
− | + | Luciferium also provides a small but permanent buff to many tasks a pawn can perform, in combat or out. | |
− | + | For general day-to-day life, 10 doses of Luciferium costs a [[market value]] of {{icon small|silver||{{#expr:{{P|Market Value Base}}*10}}}} [[silver]] and can sustain a human for a year. If you can get a consistent source of [[trade]] and [[Money making guide|income]], luciferium is a decent - but relatively small - boost to a pawn's capabilities, most useful if they already needed something cured in the first place. Keeping many colonists addicted is difficult, as [[faction base]]s and traders only come with so many doses per restock, but an extensive trade network can support into the double digits. Other than that, luciferium is useful for the [[ship launch]] or the [[Royal Ascent]] quest {{RoyaltyIcon}}, where the addiction doesn't matter after you've left the planet - at least for gameplay purposes. | |

Luciferium can be administered to animals via the operations menu, substantially improving their combat effectiveness. Sometimes, animals may also take Luciferium randomly by themselves if it is within their allowed zone. | Luciferium can be administered to animals via the operations menu, substantially improving their combat effectiveness.

To prevent withdrawal or over-consumption, create a drug policy which is set not to satisfy addiction, but instead to take it every 6 days. Also, have pawns pocket 1 extra so that it can be taken as soon as possible. Mental breaks and even death can happen very quickly, so it's better to be safe with dose quantities. This assumes you have the drugs to spare. |

When creating a caravan with addicted pawns, remember to either bring luciferium manually or have the pawns set up to carry several doses. For long trips or maximum safety, having [[transport pod]]s available to launch additional doses in an emergency is also advisable. | When creating a caravan with addicted pawns, remember to either bring luciferium manually or have the pawns set up to carry several doses.

This can be a way to save their life in case the drug runs out. If you run out of luciferium before researching or building them, you can look for [[ancient shrine]]s, as they have ancient cryptosleep caskets. |
