Is a psycast invisibility spell worth a seven day heat wave?

[Gojak_v3]

So yeah, that's the quest I'm presented with and that's the reward. Invisibility sounds like it would be a very good spell to have when dealing with threats and what not. The thing is I just started the game I'm playing now. Literally like only two months in. So I've only got a colonists with a psylevel of one. The invisibility spell needs level five. So I'd be sitting on it for some time I assume. Could be a year game time before I get my level high enough, idk. So is it worth it? Would you take the quest? As a side note I literally just harvested all my crops. So I got like 1300 food and only a few colonists to worry about. So I think I'll have enough food to get through the heat wave (cause if I planted anything it would probably die due to the heat wave).

Basically, I'm paying for it up front for a benefit down the road. Cause I assume it will take awhile to get to psylevel five. Or are these things common enough I shouldn't bother with it? Cause I'll probably find another one down the road through trade or quest. Basically if it was a spell I could use now I'd do it. It's just paying the price for it and taking a long time for the reward to pay out.

If you have coolers and believe you can keep your stored food frozen, along with sufficient clothing to keep your colonists safe during the day, then yes that quest is an easy yes. If you don't have coolers to keep your colonists safe and alive it may not be worth it.

I made some cowboy hats and dusters and got my colonists heat range up to like 125 degrees. I've seen heat waves go higher than that. The thing is, the normal temperature on the map I'm playing is over 90 degrees. It's probably the hottest map I've played before. So I'm not sure how high the heat wave could go.

And yeah, I have a few days to accept the quest, so I could build a few more coolers in that time. Usually I only have one cooler for a living area and that's fine. For like a 9x9 frozen storage area I have two. But I'm thinking I'll need more for both the living areas and the frozen storage.

And yes, I realize I could end up getting a heat wave anyway just through chance. But those don't usually last seven days. Seems the random ones tend to be around four days or so. idk

I'll probably end up doing it as invisibility seems like it would be a good spell to have. The only issue I have is how common is finding spells? I know it's random, and I know some of the NPC factions will have spells for sale. So being a level 5 spell I just don't know if it's worth it if I could have a pretty good chance of getting it again through trade or quest in the time it takes me to get to level five. If you think it's something that I will rarely come across then of course I'd do it because the odds would not be in my favor.

Invisibility, Skip, Neural Heat Dump, and Focus are psycasts you want on basically all of your psychics. The more the better. They're not hard to come by, but you'll never have enough of them. The empire faction and industrial factions will sell various psycasts regularly, I see an average of 3 different psycasts when I go shopping at their towns, but as you suspected it's random and you may end up getting the same ones over and over again.

For an invisibility psycast trainer I'd be ready to punch a mechanoid cluster in the face while getting rained on by lightning, for reference of its value and use.

Okay, thanks for the feedback. I guess I'll do it. The only thing is I just checked and the temperature outside is 101 degrees without a heat wave. I'm wondering how high it will go with the heat wave. Like I said this is the hottest map I've played.

Eh maybe like 120ish
