The Golden Cube

[miitzabataie]

I found the Golden Cube, have not researched pleasure pulse tech yet.
Is there a way to stop my colonists from endlessly creating mud and stone replicas of it?
I have at least a dozen, i destroyed one but the pawns get angry.

Just research the cube until a pawn figure out how to destroy it. You can also just launch it to someone else and deal with the pawn that breaks down over it.

The correct way to deal with it is to research it until you discover how to destroy it, should happen before things get too bad if you are agressive on it and research the cube as soon as the cd allows

Destroying the cube has some dangers: only a colonist that is not obsessed with it can do it, it takes a shard and when it is done, everyone that is obsessed will go berserk. Also, make sure no obsessed is in a caravan: if a obsessed pawn is on the world map when the cube is destroyed that pawn will leave forever. One easy way to counter the riot is anesthese every obsessed pawn before destroying the thing, they will be fine when they awake

If things are already too critical, the cube cant be destroyed by conventional means, but you can dump it on the world with a drop pod, however if you do that, pawns will not be healed from the obsession and you will have to deal with withdrawal. Cube withdrawal is quite brutal, it will inflict consciousness and mood debuffs and unlike drug withdrawal that heals as soon as it reaches max, cube withdrawal will render the pawn unconsciouss when it gets above extreme. The pawn will be out of comission for a random amount of time that can be as much as two seasons and only them it will be recovered

Easier said than done I was watching a video of a anomoly recent playthrough last night and they said it took them like 20+ researches for that to happen and by that time most of the colony was enthralled

Why would you want to destroy The Cube or art of The Cube. The Cube is love, The Cube is life.
You love The Cube and The Cube loves you. Go ahead and hold The Cube, cherish The Cube.
The Cube is love! The Cube is Life!

Close encounters of the cubed kind, much? Don't worry, proto-E.T.s are bound to visit you with their starship.
