if you are lucky and get a healer serum (very very very rare) you dcan use it, or luciferum.... warning, 100% adictive, and if you cannot supply luci to your pawn at some point, RIP

I think I've had one of those exactly... once. Hundreds of hours since the patch they were introduced.
Not saying you won't find it; if you direct your actions towards that specific goal it's more likely to happen of course.

Use a healer mech serum if you can find one, but luciferium is a lot easier to get, and brain scars are one of the few reasons I will have a pawn use luci. So far, I have never regretted that decision.

Standard luciferium cautions apply; withdrawal is always fatal. Before starting a pawn on luci, you will want:
- a decent supply of the drug. They will need a luciferium fix every 6.67 days, and missing the deadline even slightly might kill them.
- an available cryptosleep pod as a backup plan. If you run out of luci, put the person on ice until you can find more. It's perfectly risk-free as long as you get them in the pod before they go into withdrawal.
- patience. Luciferium heals a random scar every 15-30 days, so if your colonist has multiple old scars, it might be a while before their brain heals. (Or you might get lucky, and their brain will be the FIRST scar to heal.)

Once their brain heals, the pawn will actually be BETTER than new, since luciferium upgrades their body and mind in various small ways. Just don't let them get caught far from home without the drug or a handy cryptosleep casket...

I've got one luciferium addict. I don't regret putting him on the stuff at all. You can go from a pawn that's at about 70% effectiveness to one that's at 110% for everything.

You're unlikely to get much through visitors, but if you send out trading caravans, it's generally easy to buy enough to sustain one colonist. Maybe two. If you dose it every 6 days, it's only 10 Luciferium a year. If you don't start until you've got 20+, you've got 2 years to find more.
