− | Pain reduces [[consciousness]] | + | Pain reduces [[consciousness]] which in turn reduces [[manipulation]], [[moving]] and [[talking]]. Thus, it directly and significantly impacts almost every activity a pawn can perform. It also inflicts a significant [[mood]] debuff. |
− | + | Most kinds of pain are temporary and not worth installing a Painstopper for that reason alone. However, pain from [[Injury#Scarring|scars]] is permanent, and some painful diseases such as [[Disease#Sensory Mechanites|Sensory Mechanites]] can linger for long periods of time. Note that colonists with the Masochist [[Traits|trait]] get a mood ''bonus'' from pain, and this will also be removed by the Painstopper. Also note that with the [[Royalty]] DLC {{RoyaltyIcon}}, psycasters recover neural heat quicker with pain. It also completely eliminates the downside of the Wimp trait, though in exchange for other risks. | |
− | + | The painstopper can also be a huge boon in combat. As the pawn is injured, the stat losses to pain stack with those of the injuries themselves and significantly decrease the [[DPS]] of a pawn. The painstopper prevents these losses and dramatically improves DPS output for the length of the fight. Additionally, as the [[Pain Shock Threshold]] is never crossed, meaning the pawn can fight longer as well. | |
− | + | This carries a significant risk, as colonists with this implant will not go into shock from pain and will keep fighting until death (most common case), or be incapacitated from serious leg, spine or brain injury. While maintaining high damage output and longer can help end fights sooner, before they risk fatalities or win otherwise unwinnable fights, it is important to keep an eye on them so you can get them to retreat in time before they receive fatal damage, especially while hunting or in melee. | |
− | + | Alternatives to reduce pain such as [[Go-juice]] and the [[Psycasts#Painblock|Painblock]] psycast {{RoyaltyIcon}} can be used to gain the benefits temporarily for either combat or maximizing skill success chance, without the longterm risk. However, these come with their own drawbacks including addiction, chemical damage, short duration and cost. | |
