Healer Mech Serum, or Luciferium

[Rokko]

thanks guys.
forgot all about the serum and DE Surgeries looks like a neat mod.
..and i rather skip the luciferium

Luciferium can be a workable solution to brain injuries, actually...you just need to be careful. Don't addict more people than you can maintain a supply for. If you have access to a cryptosleep pod -- homemade or from an Ancient Danger site -- then the risk is a lot lower; worst-case, you can put the pawn in cold sleep until you find more luciferium (or when you just want to stretch your supply).

Of course, if you've got access to healer mech serum, that's the safest way, and works much faster than luciferium. (Just make sure the person has no other serious health conditions at the time. The serum will only cure one problem, and you want to make sure it's the brain injury.)

don't be so afraid, i think there is a way to counter luficerium addiction now anyways

i have never used luciferium , after reading that you require a constant supply of it otherwise the pawn dies and that this effect occurs after the first use already.
and that it can not be cured without modding
this correct?

i think this is correct but if you run out you could freeze the pawn in cryptosleep

My understanding is that in the current vanilla game, there is no way to cure luciferium addiction. Not even with healer mech serum, which cures pretty much every other condition, or with resurrection serum. (You can resurrect a luci addict who dies of withdrawal, but they will come back to life still addicted.)

But I wouldn't take that as a reason to never use luciferium; just to be very, very cautious. Luciferium is rare, but not THAT rare; a decent mid-game colony can obtain enough to keep a small handful of luci-dependent colonists alive and thriving. I would much rather deal with the hassle of supplying a colonist with luciferium, than let them languish with a brain injury or degenerative disease. (Healer's mech serum is a better option when available, but is much rarer than luci.)

And again, access to cryptosleep chambers makes luciferium dependence far less scary. The worst-case scenario is no longer "Our friend goes mad, uses her enhanced speed and strength to try and kill everyone in sight, and dies screaming". Now it's "she might have to hibernate for a while until we can find more luci."

...

wat?

Luciferium is the most overpowered things in Rimworld. Using it should have a severe, very severe, penalty like... "Permanent Addiction." If 1.10 provides an "out" for that, it's "wrong."
