Editing Rituals

{{Stub|reason=Role change ritual. Also rituals are not ideology-specific mechanics. Should non-ideology related rituals have a separate page? Adapt the empty sections at the bottom of page}}
{{Image wanted}}
'''Rituals''' are primarily options for [[ideoligions]] {{IdeologyIcon}}, with a handful available through other DLC {{RoyaltyIcon}}{{BiotechIcon}}. They allow pawns to participate, with a variety of props, in the hope of eliciting some outcome. These outcomes range from simple but significant mood boosts to attracting new recruits to the colony.

== Mechanics ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=General mechanics, Quality != Success chance etc.}}
{{Recode|section=1|reason=Chart of Quality % vs Success Chance}}
Every ritual has a Quality, expressed as a percentage, associated with it, influenced by a set of factors unique to each ritual type. Quality determines the chance of positive and negative outcomes, with some ritual effects scaling to the outcome tier and others applying only at specific tiers. 

Note that percentage is '''not''' the chance of success. 100% Quality only means that the chance of success cannot be improved further.

The exact relationship between quality and success chance is not known, however the following approximation has been created through testing.

Quality expressed as a number between 0 and 1; so 100%=1; 50%=0.5;
* Terrible: 1/(4+(16×Q))
* Boring: 3/(4+(16×Q))
* Fun: 3×Q/(1+(4×Q))
* Unforgettable: Q/(1+(4×Q))

=== Ritual roles ===
Every ritual has one or more roles for pawns to fill - some are required for the ritual to occur, such as the gladiators in the [[Rituals#Gladiator duel|gladiator duel]], others are optional and either increase the quality of the ritual, apply the potential bonuses to the attending pawns, or both. Some ritual roles can be filled by multiple pawns at the same time, while others are limited to one pawn. 

Some ritual roles have additional requirements, such as the pawn being of the correct ideoligion, being the correct ideoligious [[role]], not being [[downed]], or having sufficient [[capacity]]. 

Pawns can spectate any ritual, regardless of whether their ideoligion matches that of the ritual itself.

=== Ideoligious ritual additional rewards ===
{{Ideology|section=1}}
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Details}}
When creating a ritual for an ideoligion, you have the option of adding a custom additional reward. If the ritual achieves either of the two positive outcomes (fun or unforgettable, or their equivalents), the bonus reward will trigger in addition to the ritual-specific rewards.

None of the additional rewards can be applied to the funeral ritual. {{Check Tag|Verify}}

== Overview table ==
{{Ritual table}}

== Analysis ==
=== Funeral ===
This is the only ritual involving the (possible) non-player caused death. It is generally considered the worst ritual, as it requires the death of a pawn - an expensive cost when other rituals are available with the same effects.

=== Social festival ===

=== Dance party ===
This is tied with "drum party" for the most "success bonuses" and shortest cooldown.

=== Drum party ===

=== Skylantern festival ===

=== Christmas tree ===

=== Symbol burning ===

=== Smokeleaf circle ===
The ritual indirectly results in your colonists getting the [[Smokeleaf joint#Stoned on smokeleaf|stoned on smokeleaf]] condition, which applies to them for approximately 18 hours. This results in a -30% consciousness debuff, making participants slow and ineffective workers or combatants. An unforgettable festival gives only a +8 mood buff (plus a short-lived mood buff from Stoned on Smokeleaf), so it is less effective for mood than dance or drum festivals. Furthermore, costing {{Icon small|Smokeleaf leaves}} 150, the [[Burnbong]] is the equivalent of 37.5 smokeleaf joints.

=== Cannibal feast ===

=== Scarification ===

=== Blinding ceremony ===
This ritual causes significant pain, enough to incapacitate a Wimp. If the target gets incapacitated by the painshock, the ritual will be canceled. Giving a Wimp target go-juice before the ritual will prevent painshock and allow the ritual to proceed.

=== Animal sacrifice ===
Animal sacrifice does not cause the violent death penalty for butchering, and is thus an alternative to slaughtering.

=== Gladiator duel ===
This ritual always has 100% quality if one of the fighters dies. There are a number of ways to maximize the chances of that happening:
* Give the fighters [[go-juice]] or [[yayo]]. Getting downed by pain shock will end the ritual with a lower score. 
* Place a single melee weapon in the ring. One of the duelists will have an advantage and there will be a {{+|20%}} ''Weapon used'' quality bonus even if nobody dies. Note that duelists must have a [[manipulation]] [[capacity]] greater than 0% to pick up a weapon.
* Choose one fighter with a high and the other with a low [[Melee]] skill to give the first one an advantage.
* Remove '''one''' of the weaker fighter's hands. Do not remove both as pawns with 0% Manipulation cannot participate in the ritual.

Strip both gladiators before battle to prevent any clothes becoming [[tainted]] when they die.

As adding the [[Ideoligion#Raider|Raider]] or [[Supremacist]] memes to an ideoligion automatically adds the Gladiator Duel ritual, it can be used to exceed the normal limit of 6 rituals. Simply have 6 non-gladiator duel rituals already enabled, and add the relevant meme either at creation or using a fluid ideoligion. Note that if you remove a ritual at any time, you will have to restart the process as it will still attempt to impose the 6 ritual limit.

[[Wild man|Wild men]] cannot be used in gladiator duels, even if imprisoned.

[[Child]]{{BiotechIcon}} [[slave]]s cannot be used, nor can child [[prisoner]]s.

=== Prisoner execution ===
Execute a prisoner. Increases the suppression of [[slaves]]

=== Trial ===

=== Conversion ritual ===
Reduce a pawns [[certainty]], or outright convert a pawn to your ideoligion.

=== Tree connection ===
