{{TOCright}}
A '''mental break''' is a pawn event that may occur when a pawns's '''mood''' drops below the '''mental break threshold'''. The pawn will then become uncontrollable and shirk work tasks for a short while, or even worse, they will attempt to sabotage the colony. A breaking colonist may be interrupted by arresting or downing them.

There are three levels of severity for mental break events: '''minor, major,''' and '''extreme'''. Each severity level has a different pool of possible events that may occur at different frequencies. Minor events include hiding in the pawn's room for a day, extreme events include murder. 

Colonists, visitors, enemies, tamed, and wild animals all have types of mental breaks. Some breaks may be induced by the player in battle, via [[psycast]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}} or weapons like the [[psychic shock lance]] or [[psychic insanity lance]]. 

== Mechanics ==
===Mood===
[[Mood]] is a visual indicator of how likely your pawn is to have a mental break. It is lowered by negative [[thoughts]] about the pawn's environment and raised by positive thoughts. Mood is found in the [[Needs]] tab of the pawn Inspect pane. 

The three mental break severity levels directly correspond to the low mood levels '''Stressed, On edge,''' and '''About to break,''' respectively. Mental break events and frequencies are different for each mood level. 

Pawn mood is related to the sum of all the thoughts a pawn has, so minor penalties can quickly add up to large effects on a pawn's stability. Some mental breaks are unavoidable in even the finest, happiest colonies, such as '''Fire Starting Sprees''' by pyromaniac pawns.  

=== Thresholds ===
{{Main|Mental Break Threshold}}
A specific pawn's mental break thresholds are affected by various personality [[traits]]. Traits may directly raise or lower mental break threshold, such as [[Steadfast]] or [[Nervous]] respectively. Some traits add permanent negative thoughts, like [[Pessimist]], or conditional negative thoughts, like [[Night owl]]. Multiple traits have an additive effect, but the minor break threshold is capped between 1% and 50%.

The major break threshold is 4/7 of the minor break threshold, while the extreme break threshold is 1/4 of that (1/7 of the minor break threshold). The base mental break threshold stat is 35%, which yields the following:
* Minor break threshold: 35%
* Major break threshold: 20%
* Extreme break threshold: 5%

=== Severity ===
There are three severity levels of mental break events, each with their own possible events and frequencies.

* Below their base mental break threshold, they will have a minor break in a mean time of 10 days.
* Below their major break threshold, they will have a major break in a mean time of 3 days.
* Below their extreme mental break threshold, their mood is ~5% and "About to break." they will have an extreme break in a mean time of 0.7 days.

=== During ===
[[File:Colonist icon while Binging on Psychite.png|frame|left|108px|Colonist icon while breaking]]
While a colonist is experiencing a mental break, their name is displayed <span style="color:limegreen;">'''in green'''</span> in the colonist bar (at the top of the game screen), and you have no direct control over them. They may enter restricted areas, consume restricted food or drugs, attack allies, or destroy objects. [[Arrest]] the misbehaving pawn to interrupt their mischievous actions. The broken colonist has a [[Arrest Success Chance|chance]] based on the arresting pawn's stats to either go berserk, or come quietly and be escorted to the nearest available prison bed - immediately ending their mental breakdown. However, arrest will downgrade their status as a member of your colony to a prisoner. Releasing them will return them to the colony, but replaces the catharsis bonus with a  'was imprisoned' negative thought (-8).

Another more extreme way of ending a mental break is by attacking the offending pawn, such as by beating the pawn with [[Weapons#Melee weapons|blunt-damage melee weapons]] until they are incapacitated by pain, or by inflicting [[brain shock]]. This is the only way to stop a berserk pawn. However, direct violence causes the victim to have a negative opinion of the colonists who beat him up, and you risk killing the pawn if he is already injured. It is ineffective if the pawn feels reduced pain, like those with the [[Painstopper]] implant or high on [[Go-juice]].

The [[Psycasts#Word_of_serenity|Word of Serenity]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} psycast will instantly end any mental break by forcing the target into a 6 hour coma. The psyfocus cost depends on the level of the mental break the target is experiencing. This cannot be used on [[babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} or [[children]]{{BiotechIcon}}.

While having a break, at the top of the game screen, a colonist will be designated with a small "lightning bolt" icon over their image; yellow for minor breaks, red for major or extreme.

=== Aftermath ===
Once a pawn's mental break ends, they'll revert back to their usual schedule and work and may be drafted again. Their thoughts do not 'reset,' so negative thoughts may still be present. Pawns get the [[Thoughts#Catharsis|'catharsis']] thought, granting a +40 mood for the next 2.5 days. This will generally prevent a pawns from entering a spiral of mental breakdowns in all but the worst scenarios. 

Colonists with the [[Traits#Tortured artist|Tortured Artist trait]] will have a constant mood debuff (-8) but also have a chance (50%) to receive a creative inspiration after a mental break ends. Note that this does not include the [[#Fleeing fire|Fleeing fire]] break.

Colonists may be considered '''guilty''' after particularly destructive breaks and may then be banished with no consequences.

== Minor break ==

=== Food binge ===
[[File:FoodBinge.png|thumb|right|Food Binge]]

Causes the pawn to pig out on whatever meals they can get their hands on.{{Check Tag|Details|Limits, preference, etc}}

This break can only occur when the map the pawn is currently on contains more than 10 human-edible nutrition in a [[stockpile zone]], however an already ongoing binge will not end if all the food is consumed or otherwise removed. Pawns with the [[Trait#Gourmand|Gourmand trait]] will experience this more often.{{Check Tag|Details}}

A binge will end as soon as the affected pawn goes to bed, or after a certain amount of time has passed.

=== Sad wander ===
[[File:SadWander.png|thumb|right|Sad Wander]]

Causes the pawn to wander around aimlessly, eventually recovering on their own. Like the [[Mental break#Psychotic wandering (Daze)|Psychotic wandering (Daze)]] event, but shorter.

Wandering colonists can be [[prisoners|arrested]], which can be useful if they are in imminent danger.

=== Hide in room ===
[[File:HideInRoom.png|thumb|right|Hide in Room]]

Causes the pawn to wander about in their room, refusing to come out and refusing to satisfy their needs.

This break can only occur if the breaking pawn has a bed assigned to them.

This break is relatively short, and usually does not put the pawn in harm's way. At worst, the pawn may suffer from mild starvation or exhaustion.

=== Insulting spree ===
Causes the pawn insult nearby colonists at random, making moods worse for everyone affected.

Insults can lead to a social fight, which would then lead to the end of the break.

=== Targeted insulting spree ===
Causes the pawn to follow and repeatedly insult one other colonist in particular.

This can totally ruin the victim's mood with an up to -33 mood penalty through 10 stacked insults, which can potentially trigger a mental break in the victim as well.

Insults can lead to a social fight, which would then lead to the end of the break.

==Major break==

===Social drug binge===
{{See also|Mental break#Hard drug binge{{!}}Hard drug binge}}
[[File:SocialBinge.png|thumb|right|Social Drug Binge]]

Causes the pawn to drink or smoke their problems away by binging on [[social drugs]] (i.e. [[ambrosia]], [[beer]], [[smokeleaf joint]]s, [[psychite tea]]).

This can only happen if you have social drugs present in your colony.

===Psychotic wandering (Daze)===
[[File:Daze.png|thumb|right|Daze]]

Causes the pawn to wander around aimlessly, eventually recovering on their own. The letter informing you of this break refers to it as a "Daze."

Affected colonists can ignore [[Menus#Food_restriction|food restrictions]]. This can push the colony to collapse, especially with few colonists and without enough automation.

Dazed colonists can be [[prisoners|arrested]], which can be useful if they are in imminent danger.

{{clear}}

[[File:Daze.png|thumb|right|Daze]]

===Psychotic wandering (Daze) Short===
Identical to the above, but with a shorter minimum time. Combined with the above break, this effectively doubles the chance of getting a "Psychotic Wandering" break.

{{clear}}

=== Tantrum ===
Causes the pawn to take out their anger on the structures in the colony, randomly punching at (and possibly destroying) them. The attacks may create [[Filth#Building_rubble|building rubble]] in the process.

:'''Mean time between Recovery:''' 0.033 days <br>

:'''Maximum time until Recovery:''' {{Ticks|12000}} <br>

{{clear}}

=== Targeted tantrum ===
Causes the pawn to take out their anger on a single structure or stack of items, punching at them until eventually destroyed. The tantrum will redirect to another structure or stack of items if that structure or stack of items is destroyed or made inaccessible.

Targeted tantrums are significantly more dangerous than the non-targeted variety, as the pawn has a much higher chance of actually destroying things instead of simply damaging them. They are especially dangerous when the pawn targets mortar shells (beware the [[antigrain warhead]]), which explode upon destruction.

=== Corpse obsession ===
[[File:Corpse obsession.png|thumb|right|Corpse obsession]]
Causes the pawn to go to a grave or sarcophagus, dig up a corpse and drop it on a high-traffic spot, such as a table in a dining room. The obsession will then end.

This break can only occur if you have a filled grave or sarcophagus.

While this break is somewhat quick, it can potentially bring "Observed a corpse" mood debuffs to whoever sees the corpse, and can trigger a colony-wide "Colonist left unburied" mood debuff if the corpse was of a colonist.

{{Ideology|No category}}
Occurs in place of a major-level mood-related mental break in colonists following an [[Ideoligion]] with the 'Inhumanizing: Required' precept. The pawn will wander around for some time and after recovery, will receive a permanent hediff that prevents them from experiencing the break instead, among other things.

==Extreme break==

===Berserk===
[[File:BerserkScreenshot.png|thumb|right|Berserk]]

Can cause the pawn to go berserk, melee attacking any living creature near them. The pawn will not intentionally kill anything, although unlucky hits may still result in death, instead redirecting to another target once their current target is downed.

Pawns that are [[Work#Incapable_of_work_types|incapable of violent]] can still go berserk. Berserk colonists are able to use doors that are forbidden, and don't close doors behind them (auto-doors included). Berserk prisoners will bash at doors until they break.

Subduing the berserk pawn with bare fists or a blunt weapon poses the least risk of killing them. Once a berserk pawn is subdued, the break is over. They do not need to be arrested, and can be immediately rescued to recover from their injuries. If the berserker is not in danger and can be safely avoided, it can be best to leave them to rampage by themselves until their berserk rage wears off to avoid injuries.

=== Fire starting spree ===
[[File:Fire Starting Spree.png|thumb|right|Fire Starting Spree]]

Causes the pawn to go on a fire starting spree, targeting flammable materials and setting them ablaze. 

Pawns with the [[traits#Pyromaniac|pyromaniac trait]] will occasionally suffer this mental break regardless of mood (though it will happen less frequently as mood increases). As of Beta 18, pyromaniacs no longer gain the Catharsis thought after fire starting sprees.

Fire-starting sprees are very short and can easily be dealt with by having somebody else "babysit" the pyromaniac, putting out fires as the pyromaniac pawn starts them.

=== Hard drug binge ===
{{See also|Mental break#Social drug binge{{!}}Social drug binge}}
[[File:HardBinge.png|thumb|right|Hard Drug Binge]]

Causes the pawn to binge on [[hard drugs]] (i.e. [[flake]], [[yayo]], [[go-juice]] and [[wake-up]]).

Hard drug binges are considerably more dangerous for the affected colonist's health than social drug binges, as hard drugs contribute towards [[overdose]]s which are potentially lethal, and can easily lead to an addiction. As with social binges, hard binges will either end when the affected colonist goes to bed, or after a certain amount of time has passed. Colonists taking [[penoxycyline]] and [[luciferium]] have nothing to do with the drug binge they are on.

{{clear}}

===Catatonic breakdown===
Causes the pawn to enter a ''catatonic breakdown'' state, where they become incapacitated and need to be rescued.

This is one of the least immediately harmful of the extreme breaks as it does not result in injury or damage to colonists or structures. However, the affected colonist will be down for quite a long time, and unable to perform any work. This can be especially detrimental if the colonist performs a vital task in the colony.

Since catatonic breakdown is technically a health condition, usage of the [[healer mech serum]] can instantly bring the affected colonist out of the mental break.

Only colonists can experience this mental break. Pawns from other factions, not under the players control, will not. Temporary colonists from [[quests]] or from [[permits]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} can experience this mental break.

This mental break does not trigger the Inspired Creativity [[mental inspiration]] from the [[Traits#Tortured artist|Tortured artist]] trait.

=== Jailbreaker ===
[[File:Jailbreaker.png|thumb|right|Jailbreaker]]

The pawn will move to the targeted prisoner, and upon reaching them, a [[prison break]] event will trigger. Afterwards, the mental break will be changed to something else.

The pawn can be arrested or incapacitated before reaching the prison cell.

=== Slaughterer ===
Causes the pawn to slaughter tamed animals at random.

If you have a lot of tamed animals this usually won't cause major losses, but there's a chance the maddened colonist may decide to butcher a [[bond]]ed animal, a [[boomalope]], or your favorite tamed [[thrumbo]], none of which are "good" outcomes.

{{clear}}

=== Murderous rage ===
[[File:Murderous rage.png|thumb|right|400px|Murderous rage]]

Causes the pawn to select a random colonist or prisoner and melee attack them until they are dead. Once the target is killed the break is over.

This requires intervention from other colonists if the life of the victim is to be saved.
#This can be interrupted by attempting arrest. If it is successful, the colonist will quietly submit and go to prison along with the warden. Otherwise, the colonist will instead go berserk and will lash out at nearby colonists instead, which may be easier to deal with as the colonist is no longer hellbent on killing one person.
#Immediately rescuing the murder target once they are downed causes the murderous pawn to select a new victim.

This break can occur in pawns placed temporarily under your control, such as those provided by [[quests]] or from [[permits]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}.

=== Run wild ===
Causes the pawn to run into the wild and start acting like an animal. While acting like an animal, the pawn will subsist on wild sources of food, usually berry bushes or agave in arid biomes. They may wander across spike traps and randomly trigger them.

Unlike other breaks, this one lasts indefinitely without intervention. The only way to end it is to have another colonist tame the broken colonist and convince them to act like a human again. Taming a wild man is equivalent to taming an animal of 75% wildness, equivalent to an [[elephant]] or [[fox]], and requiring an [[Skills#Animals|Animals]] skill of 7 or greater.

Damaging them until they are downed isn't an advisable option; since they don't belong to your faction anymore, they will most likely die upon receiving enough damage to incapacitate.

Upon taming, they will have their usual Catharsis moodlet, and will have their Beauty and Comfort needs set to 50%, while their Outdoors needs is set to 100%.

Additionally, it appears that this mental break does not trigger the Inspired Creativity [[mental inspiration]] from the [[Traits#Tortured artist|Tortured artist]] trait, however more testing is needed.{{Check Tag|Verify}}

:'''Commonality:''' 0.5
{{clear}}

=== Given up and leaving ===
Causes the pawn to decide they've had enough with the colony, and leave entirely.

This can be countered either by arresting the colonist, or incapacitating them by force. Sometimes a pawn can decide to return to the colony after having this break, but before they have left the map. It is currently unclear what controls the rate of this occurance. {{Check Tag|Detail needed}}

Quest lodgers cannot get this mental break.

:'''Commonality:''' 1

=== Crisis of belief ===
{{Ideology|No category}}
{{Stub|reason=Confirmation and detail on how the weighting used to choose the replacement ideoligion is calculated - see GetIdeoWeight function}}
A pawn undergoes a crisis of faith in their [[ideoligion]], losing 50% of their [[Certainty]]. Unlike many forms of Certainty loss, this value is not modified by the pawn's their [[Global Certainty Loss Factor]]. 

Should this loss be sufficient to reduce the pawn to 0%, they will instead immediately convert to a different ideoligion. This ideoligion is randomly selected from all ideoligions in the current world, including the player's, with weighting based on the following factors:
* Every ideoligion has a base value of 1.
* +1 for each [[faction]] with that ideoligion that is allied to the breaking pawn's faction
* +1 for each spawned pawn with that ideoligion, on any map, that is the same faction as the breaking pawn
'''AND EITHER'''
* +1 for each spawned pawn on the same map from the same faction as the breaking pawn, or from a non-hostile faction.
'''OR'''
* +1 for each pawn with the ideoligion currently on a caravan, if the breaking pawn is currently on a caravan.
The random generator will never return the pawn's current ideoligion.

The pawn will break down and start to hallucinate, seeing fellow colonists as nightmarish figures and will flee from anyone they perceive as a threat.

Whilst a pawn is in this state, shadowy figures will swirl around the afflicted pawn and they will ramble insane nonsense every 10-30 seconds.

== Special ==
These mental states aren't mood-related, and have certain circumstances required to trigger them.

=== Confusion ===
[[File:Confusion.png|thumb|right|Confused and wandering]]

Similar to the 'Sad Wandering' mental state, except confused wandering only occurs on a pawn with Alzheimer's or Dementia, as well as those still woozy or recovering from anesthesia.

This mental state is similar to psychotic wandering in the respect that confused pawns are prone to wandering into dangerous situations, however they do not strip off their equipment. This mental state ends after a certain period of time, or when the affected pawn is downed or killed. All normal thoughts are blocked during this time frame.

It can also occur in animals after their [[bond]]ed master dies.

=== Social fighting ===
[[File:Social fighting.png|thumb|right|Traders social fighting]]

Social fighting is triggered when one pawn slights or insults another (significantly more likely with insulting than slighting), and the affected pawn gets angered. While very brief and usually only resulting in minor-moderate injury, social fighting can also end up with much worse results including a pawn getting downed, disfigured, or uncommonly even outright killed. Social fighting ends after a very short time, or when one of the fighting pawns gets downed or killed.

=== Fleeing in panic ===
[[File:Fleeing in panic.png|thumb|right|Fleeing in panic]]

This sort of mental break happens when half (rounded up) of a group of non-colonist humanlikes are killed; whether it be hostiles, traders, or the likes. Pawns affected by this mental state will attempt to leave the map by any means possible as soon as they realize that they're not going to win whatever battle they got caught up in.

This mental state will end once the affected pawn leaves the map, or when they're killed.

Pawns in this state will run indiscriminately towards the closest edge of the map, completely disregarding any hostiles in the way (such as your colonists firing at them), trying to smash down doors even when there is a clear path out next to them.
{{clear}}

=== Fleeing fire ===
{{Biotech|No category}}
{{stub|section=1|reason=Mechanic details + numbers.}}
This sort of mental break happens when a pawn with [[Pyrophobia]] gene happens to be near the fire. It will cause them to flee far away from the source of fire.

This mental state will end once he or she no longer see fire within their field of vision.

The affected colonist does not gain the [Catharsis] mood buff from fleeing fire. 
{{clear}}

=== Manhunter ===
{{For|the [[event]] that causes a pack of animals affected by this break to spawn on the map|Events#Manhunter pack}}
Animals may suffer a manhunter mental break, similar to [[Mental break#Berserk|berserk]]. A manhunter animal will seek out and attack any humans and [[Mechanoids]]. Animal pulser maddened animals will attack mechs on the map it can reach, regardless of faction, but will ignore tamed animals. 

Manhunters will not spontaneously attempt to break through obstacles to hunt down pawns, but will attack doors if they see someone go through them. They will cease their attack after a short period, but may still successfully break it down in that time. If strong doors are not available to hide behind, try to get out of line of sight before ducking into a nearby building, be ready to repair the door from the inside, or simply accept that the door is only a temporary barrier.

The mental break can be triggered in several ways:
* Via the [[Events#Mad (Animal)|Mad Animal]] event. Affects 1 wild animal.
* Via the [[Events#Psychic Wave|Psychic Wave]] event. Affects all wild animals on the relevant map.
* Via the use of a [[psychic animal pulser]]. Affects all non-player owned animals on the relevant map.
* Via injury inflicted by any humanlike pawn. Chance is controlled by the animal's "Manhunter Chance", the [[hunting stealth]] of the injuring pawn, and the distance between the pawn and the animal. Affects the injured animal, and in the case of certain herd animals, any nearby animals of the same species.
* Via a failed taming attempt angering the animal. Chance is controlled by the animal's "Manhunter Chance (Taming)".  Affects the targeted wild animal.{{Check Tag|Herd?|Can this trigger herd revenge as well?}}
* Via the death of their [[bond]]ed master.{{Check Tag|Chance?}} Affects any tamed and bonded animal 

An animal's manhunting rampage will end after a certain amount of time, upon the animal sleeping, or once [[downed]].

Manhunter animals with [[Scaria]] can not be [[tame]]d without first curing them. Attempts to [[prioritize]] the taming task will result instead in a hint saying ''Animal busy''.

=== Manhunter Permanent ===
Permanent manhunter is randomly applied to animals that are part of a [[manhunter pack]]. Affected animals will never snap out of this mental state under normal circumstances, and completely neglect their own needs. Animals in this state will generally leave the area within a few days.

Some manhunter animals, such as [[boomrat]]s, will typically starve to death due to their hunger rate combined with the typical manhunter animal duration.

=== Roaming ===
Introduced in 1.3, farm animals (animal species that cannot be controlled via zones) can randomly get this mental break if they are outside of an enclosed pen. This can cause them to leave the map if not roped in immediately. If they are enclosed in a pen, or if they are roped in by a colonist after a valid pen is placed, this mental break will immediately end.

This does not occur on maps where they have recently been brought in, or on maps the other colonist are raiding in.

=== Berserk (short) ===
{{Anomaly|No category}}
A shorter variation of the berserk break that occurs due to buildup of [[Blood rain|blood rage]]. Functions identically to its classic variant.

:'''Minimum time until Recovery:''' {{Ticks|10000}} <br>
:'''Maximum time until Recovery:''' {{Ticks|15000}} <br>


=== Manhunter (blood rain) ===
{{Anomaly|No category}}
A variation of the manhunter mental state that occurs due to buildup of [[Blood rain|blood rage]]. Functions identically to its classic variant.

Whilst it eventually comes to an end after the blood rain comes to an end, it will not stop whilst the afflicted animal goes to sleep, is downed, or collapses due to extreme exhaustion.

=== Cube sculpting ===
{{Anomaly|No category}}
Randomly happens in pawns with an interest in the [[Golden cube]], where they will build a sand sculpture on the ground in the shape of a cube. The break will then immediately end.

== Tips ==
* [[Arrest]]ed [[prisoner]]s and [[prison]]s are more expensive than random damage of the most mental breaks.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/0.3.410|0.3.410]] - Mental break probability is much lower.
* [[Version/0.9.722|0.9.722]] - Binge mental break added
* [[Version/0.12.906|0.12.906]] - Dazed broken pawns will now randomly strip off clothes and drop things.
* [[Version/0.14.1234|0.14.1234]] - Added new class of “minor” mental breaks. Added minor mental break: food binge.
* [[Version/0.18.1722|0.18.1722]] - Added the following mental breaks: Insulting spree, Targeted insulting spree, Tantrum, Bedroom tantrum, Targeted tantrum, Sadistic rage, Corpse obsession, Catatonia, Jailbreaker, Slaughterer, Murderous rage, Run wild.
* Beta 19/ 1.0  - Overhauled mental break probabilities. Aside from some exceptional cases, all mental breaks are more or less equally probable.
* 1.1 - the way the different mental break thresholds were calculated was changed. Previously the major break thresholds and minor break thresholds were locked to base threshold + 15% and +30% respectively, with the base threshold at 5% for normal pawns; as a result, the mental break thresholds could be reduced by a maximum of 4% only, leading to the Iron-willed and Steadfast [[traits]] being weaker than expected.
* [[Version/1.2.2753|1.2.2753]] - Disable corpse obsession break for prisoners, as it's very unlikely to happen and is not implemented around this possibility.
* [[Version/1.3.3066|1.3.3066]] - Fix: During food binges, sometimes pawns will use recreational drugs.
* [[Version/1.4.3542|1.4.3542]] - Fix: Quest lodgers can do the "give up and exit" mental break.
* [[Version/1.4.3555|1.4.3555]] - Fix: Bloodfeed can be used on pawns in mental states.
