− | Psychic soothe | + | Psychic soothe pulsars can be used to counteract negative moods that are affecting the entire colony, most notably psychic drones. A single pulser can completely nullify the effects of a low psychic drone and still have a +3 net effect on mood. Higher levels of drone will be reduced in intensity as well. Whilst doing so is expensive, it's possible to turn an extreme psychic drone's -40 effect on mood into a paltry -5 by activating 3 pulsers at the same time for the maximum soothe effect. By the time a colony is being affected by such extreme psychic events, it is likely in a position where it can afford to purchase multiple pulsers in preparation for such events. |
