Luciferium is an in-game drug which considerably improves performance of a colonist that takes it in all productive aspects. This includes gaining immunity to infections (by improving blood filtration) which can be useful if you have a shortage of medicine. However: it's strongly recommended '''not''' to have a colonist consume this unless you can easily access an appropriate supply of Luciferium, as it's ''instantly'' addictive and will lead on to berserk mental breaks and eventual death of a colonist that can't meet their demand for it. It can be found on certain traders and certain enemies that have an addiction to these devilish pills, however; the former is ''very'' expensive and you need a sustainable economy to keep up this way of obtaining.

"spacer" is not in the list (Neolithic, Medieval, Industrial, Archotech, Spacer, Ultra) of allowed values for the "Tech Level" property.Template:Medical Drug A concoction of advanced glitterworld mechanites that dramatically improve the body's functioning in all respects. Unfortunately, without the moderating effects of regular doses every five or six days, the mechanites lose cohesion, causing continuous berserk rages and, eventually, death.

After the first dose, there is no way to get the mechanites out, ever.

On the urbworlds, they call Luciferium the 'Devil's Bargain'. Many have been forced to kill friends when no more of the seductive red pills could be found.


Gameplay Overview

Luciferium is a drug that can either be purchased, or found on raiders - there is no way to produce Luciferium. The main purpose of Luciferium is to save one's life with the dramatic blood filtration improvement it provides, but it also affects most of the pawn's other capacities.

In order to safely prevent this, create a Luciferium drug policy which is set not to satisfy addiction, but instead to take it every 6 days, and pocket 1 extra so that it can be taken as soon as possible.
