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.

Drug	Pre-Research	Minimum Skills	Ingredients	Market Value (in silver)
Flake	Psychite refining	-	4 Psychoid leaves	14
Go-juice	Go-juice production	-	2 Neutroamine 1 Yayo	53
Medicine	Electricity Microelectronics basics Medicine production	Intellectual 4+ Crafting 4+	3 Cloth 1 Herbal medicine 1 Neutroamine	18
Penoxycyline	Penoxycyline production	-	2 Neutroamine	18
Wake-up	Wake-up production	-	2 Neutroamine	35
Yayo	Psychite refining	-	8 Psychoid leaves	21

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.

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.
