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.

Luciferium is useful for treating permanent injuries and conditions, such as brain damage, scars, or [[frail]]. 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 mech serum or luciferium. [[Carcinoma]] either requires luciferium / mech serum, long-term and potentially ineffective medicial 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 is useful for treating permanent injuries and conditions, such as brain damage, scars, or [[frail]].

− | Luciferium has to be taken every 6 days | + | Luciferium has to be taken every 6 days, or the withdrawal risks killing them. The first pill always sets need to 100%. Each pill after adds 90% to the need bar, scaled by body size (not health scale), but severity declines at the same rate regardless of body size/health scale (basically, things smaller than a human need about as much lucy as a human, while things larger than a human need an amount multiplied by body size). To avoid the need level falling too low, an adult pawn must take one pill every 6 days exactly. Because of how the mechanics behind taking drugs on a fixed schedule work, setting their drug assignment to take one pill every 6 days does '''NOT''' work for this, as the 6 day timer is not fixed to the time of day, but the time after the last drug was taken. Therefore, if the colonist is delayed in even the slightest amount (even the small amount of time spent stepping to an open tile to take the drug), their need level will slowly fall over time, potentially killing the pawn. |
− | + | Players should instead, for all adult pawns that take luciferium, use the "take for addiction" setting in the drug policy. This has pawns take the drug as soon as their need level hits 10%, which is both self-correcting in the event a dose is delayed, and avoids all waste. Players should also ensure that the pawn's drug policy has them carry at least one dose of the drug, to ensure that it's taken in as timely a manner as possible. | |
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. |
