Meds for bad traits


Recommended Posts

It would make a lot of sense since you have had a med making machine in the game for a VERY! long time, to have more craft able's.

The 2 I would really like to see are stomach pills for the farty dups, and stims for the narcoleptic dups.

So if you can supply them with a pill a day this negative trait will be suppressed till the pill wears off.

Also, would like to see stims that raise atribs, but if used to much, they can become an addiction, so that if the dup does not have one, they have withdrawal neg buff for some time, and needs med bay treatment.

Not sure if it really fits in the logic, but the mouth breather dups. I would maybe say that is  cause of asthma, so an inhaler made from algae could remove this trait, but it would have to be less algae than the o2 it would make that the dup would be consuming if you just made o2 instead.

And im sure others have suggesting this part many times, but the oh so obvious, anti depressant pills.

Personally I use my flatulent dups to generate power, but I like the idea. 

It gives us more medical stuff to do and it's unique in that it is not just fending off outside disease but actin to treat the chronic and innate conditions of the dups, which is after all a LOT of what modern medicine dose.  A pill for each of the negative traits EXCEPT Yokel, Pacifist, Gastrophobe, Squimish make sense as these are physiological rather then medical limitations.

An anti-depressant only makes sense if their were an actual trait that gave a dup stress and the pill would only neutralize that extra stress.  A pill which was universally usable would be too easy and defeat most of the higher stress difficulty settings.

A pill for flatulence would logically be made from mushrooms because Beano (the common over the counter pill to do exactly that) contains an enzyme that is derived from fungus.  I think a single mushroom should yield 8-10 pills (assuming the pill lasts one cycle) so your not wasting a lot of calories in making them (alternatively the pill could have caloric value).  If any other ingredients are needed it should be something like sand or water, very common and abundant cause these pills are going to be produced in mass quantities.

Caffeine pills for Narcoleptics would logically be made from coffee beans but we don't have those so I recommend either Mealwood or Bristle Berry.
