Hyperzine, Nuka Cola & Synaptizine now act as drugs for Diona

Rob Nelson requested to merge pull/12635/diona into Bleeding-Edge

Created by: DrCelt

Hyperzine & Nuka Cola are highly addictive and hallucinogenic drugs for diona - think sensory overload mixed with skooma. They will increase, very minorly but enough to be annoying:

  • druggy variable (The colourful lights of space drugs)
  • makes dizzy
  • could twitch/moan/drool/dribble

Synaptizine on the other hand, is a god damn poison - to prevent powergaming it:

  • increases brain damage (very slowly - in twenty minutes of BOTH synaptizine and hyperzine I got 30 brain damage)
  • adds hallucinations
  • chance of making confused (ie moving in wrong direction)
  • chance of vomiting

These are all capped to reasonable amounts - so this can be treated by charcoal, a bit of antitoxin, time, and alkysine by medbay if they OD.

Also, Hyperzine/Nuka Cola now only brings you, as a diona, to the normal running speed of a human - not faster than one as it did previously. (If you want to go faster, drink hyperzine AND nuka cola.)

The intention is to not take away the ability for people to be fast diona, but considering that's one of their racial cons - if you want to be a fast diona, you have to take other, somewhat annoying but still absolutely playable cons in return.

Note to self: Hyperzine doesn't seem to be increasing jitteriness anymore - not a bug with this PR though, could reproduce on live.

🆑

  • tweak: Hyperzine and Nuka Cola act as drugs for diona now - expect slight annoyances akin to taking space drugs
  • tweak: Synaptizine on a Diona will cause effects akin to taking a couple of units of mind breaker, with very minor brain damage and small chance of vomiting/confusion
  • tweak: Hyperzine and Nuka Cola no longer make diona run the same as a human (now 60%)
  • tweak: Diona no longer have: Lungs, Appendices, Kidneys
