Penoxycyline is completely safe and prevents diseases — use it every 5 days. For work buffs, psychite tea is the mildest option. Avoid flake and luciferium unless you have a plan, and never schedule yayo daily.
RimWorld Drug FAQ
What happens if a pawn gets addicted?
They need the drug regularly or suffer withdrawal penalties. Luciferium withdrawal is fatal — keep supply forever.
Can I force a pawn to take drugs?
Yes — set an "assign drug" policy for a specific schedule, or restrict storage so only the pawn can access it.
