Even in [[difficulty|Losing is Fun]], just 10 [[psychoid plant]]s as flake are enough to sustain a waster for an ''entire year'', without deficiency. In a year-round growing season, this is a field of 3 psychoid plants. If you have a grower with the required Plants 6 skill and the [[Research#Psychite refining|Psychite refining]] research, this is trivial. In exchange, you can (almost) freely ingest yayo, flake, and wake-up. (See "Health effects with drug genes") |
* {{Icon Small|flake|24}} [[Flake]] is the cheapest way to handle the dependency. Compared to [[psychite tea]], flake restores more [[rest]], reduces [[Sleep Fall Rate]] significantly more, and gives a much higher [[mood]] for the same amount of [[Psychoid leaves|leaves]]. You can take flake once every 2.7 days without a net tolerance increase. While tea can be taken every 2 days, this is not sufficient to overcome the flake's statistical advantages even when [[Drug policies|scheduling]] flake to be taken every 3 days. | * {{Icon Small|flake|24}} [[Flake]] is the cheapest way to handle the dependency.

| − | * {{Icon Small|yayo|24}} [[Yayo]] consumes twice as many leaves per dose, but is superior as a drug. Yayo shares the same {{+|35}} mood and '''x50%''' [[pain]] reduction as flake, but increases [[Moving]] too.

| + | :For casual use, yayo can be taken as often as flake while also providing more [[recreation]], more rest, doubled duration high, and the Moving buff. If leaf production is not a limiting factor, then yayo makes for more efficient workers as well as combatants. | ||
And, if necessary, you can take yayo, flake, and [[psychite tea]] at the same time for {{+|82}} mood. | And, if necessary, you can take yayo, flake, and [[psychite tea]] at the same time for {{+|82}} mood. | ||

| − | * Too high of a psychite tolerance can cause chemical damage to the [[kidney]]s. However, an adult can take up to 11 doses of flake/yayo in a row without reaching this tolerance threshold.

However, an adult can take up to 11 doses of flake/yayo in a row without reaching this tolerance threshold.

Basically, if a colonist is only taking psychite every 5 days, then health concerns are minimal. | Basically, if a colonist is only taking psychite every 5 days, then health concerns are minimal. | ||
