Drug lab

The drug lab can be built upon researching Drug Production, however colonists who are incapable of intellectual work can't use it. Colonists must be assigned to crafting to use this.

Acquisition

It cannot be traded for, so to have one you must construct it. This requires the research of drug production, a construction skill of at least 4, and 50 Stuff (Wood/Metals), 75 Steel, 6 Component in 3,500 ticks (58.33 secs) after the research Drug production has been completed. Despite the intellectual skill being a large factor in using the lab, the building of one does not seem to rely on it.

Summary

The following items can be crafted at the drug lab.

Name	Materials	Stuff Options	Work To Make	Type
Flake	4	-	250	Drug - Hard Drug
Go-juice	1 + 2	-	600	Drug - Hard Drug
Wake-up	2	-	900	Drug - Hard Drug
Yayo	8	-	350	Drug - Hard Drug
Penoxycyline	2	-	600	Drug - Medical Drug
Smokeleaf joint	4	-	450	Drug - Social Drug
Medicine	3 + 1 + 1	-	700	Medicine, Medical Item - Medicine

Analysis

The ability to craft industrial medicine can be very useful, but while two of the ingredients (herbal medicine and 3 cloth) can be simply grown, neutroamine must be traded for. Overall it is cheaper to craft it, coming in at a third of the base price of the product, but requires plant material.

Aside from medicinal purposes, it can also be a very large source of income. Growing psychoid leaves and mass-producing Yayo or Flake can be hugely profitable.
