Psychite tea

Tea a.png

A fragrant tea infused with leaves of the psychoid plant. Drinking it induces a subtle psychite euphoria. This tea is easy to produce at cooking facilities, but can produce psychite addiction if consumed too often.
Many tribes use psychoid tea, both as a daily energizer and as part of social and religious rituals.

Acquisition

To produce it, Psychoid Brewing must be researched first. Production of this simple drug uses Drug Cooking Speed, which is dependent on the Cooking skill, and must be done at a campfire, fueled stove, or Electric stove. This production gives skill points in Cooking.

Tribal traders, especially Shaman Merchants, will often have Psychite tea to trade, and Tribal villages will as well if you take the time to visit them. Occasionally, tribal visitors and raiders will have a few units on them, but so rarely that it is far from a reliable source.

Comparison

It is less cost-efficient than the other psychoid drugs, flake and yayo, as it is worth the least and takes the longest to make. However, its simpler research requirement makes it good in the early game, and it does not require a drug lab. This is an especially good option for tribal colonies, who start the game with psychoid brewing already researched.

It is also much less addictive than flake or yayo. A colonist can drink it every 2 days without becoming addicted. If drunk more often, and the tolerance reaches 10% or more, then drinking psychite tea only has a 2% chance to create addiction - the same as smokeleaf - without smokeleaf's penalties to movement and consciousness. The tea is even better than ambrosia, especially in the mid-game, with the downside of only being able to give the mood buff every 2 days and a cost of research and time cooking and planting psychoid.

Withdrawal Symptoms

Like Yayo and Flake, Psychite tea can cause psychite addiction. Withdrawal lasts for 30 days and causes the following symptoms:

  • Mood -35
  • Consciousness: -20%
  • Moving: -20%
  • Manipulation -20%
  • Rest Fall Rate +30%
  • Hard drug binges (mtb of 40 days)
  • Psychotic wandering (mtb of 10 days)
