==Addiction==
Every time you metabolize a drug, you will gain addiction points in the category it belongs to. For every unit of drugs metabolized you receive addiction points. More extreme drugs and [[Guide_to_drinks|alcohol]] will give you more points. If you gain 600 points in addiction category, you will become addicted. By not taking said drugs you will lower the amount of addiction points. High [[Mood|sanity]] speeds up the process.
*You lose 0,5 points per tick with no withdrawal or stage 1 withdrawal.
*You lose 1 point per tick with stage 2 withdrawal.
*You lose 1,5 points per tick with stage 3 withdrawal.
When your mood is good you always lose 2 points per tick regardless of the stage.
If you then fall below 400 points you stop being addicted.
Taking more of the drug you're addicted to will temporarily suppress symptoms. Addiction stages advance from time in withdrawal. 

'''Addiction categories:'''
===Stimulants===

Stimulant withdrawal makes you slow in a number of ways.

*At the first stage you get craving messages about feeling tired and needing a little pick me up. Your actions also become slower(action speed penalty).
*At the second stage you recieve a click cooldown penalty.
*At the third stage you get a movement speed penalty and more craving messages.

===Opiods===

The main symptom of opiod withdrawal is nausea. 

*At the first stage you get craving messages about feels aches in your body, chills and needing opioids. You start yawning intermittently.
*At the second stage your high blood pressure will increase rate of blood loss from any open wounds.
*At the third stage you will get hit by waves of nausea and vomiting.

===Alcohol===

Alcohol withdrawal is easy to stave off due to the abundance of low alcohol content drinks available from the bar, but it is the only one that can be outright lethal.

*At the first stage you get craving messages about feeling thirsty, wondering if the bar is still open and needing a little Dutch courage. You also start to jitter.
*At the second stage you start to hallucinate.
*At the third stage you start to suffer intermittant seizures that paralyze you for 1-3 seconds and cause 10-30 brain damage depending on duration. Your seizures also cause heavy jittering. Seizures can be prevented by taking [[#Neurine|neurine]] or [[#Sodium_Thiopental|sodium thiopental]]. 

===Hallucinogens===

*At the first stage you get craving messages about feeling empty, spirtually detached and you start to wonder what the machine elves are up to.
*At the second stage you get visual disturbances. 
*At the third stage you enter a [[Traitor_items#Hypnotic_Flash|hypnotic trance]]. 

===Maintenance Drugs===

*At the first stage you get craving messages, start growling intermittently and your health indicator will become unreliable.
*At the second stage you can only stomach GROSS food and you grow a scraggly beard if male.
*At the third stage you will become very dizzy and confused when exposed to light, but it also gives you night vision.

===Medicines===
*Stage 1: You become unsure of your own health, are you aching, or is it just the down from the meds?
*Stage 2: You develop a fever.
*Stage 3: You organs begin to ache a bit too.

In general most pure medicines don't accrue addiction points – it’s instead the inverse or impure chems that will turn you into a hypochondriac.

===Special===
Some reagents have their own unique addiction type. Such as [[Guide_to_chemistry#Nicotine|Nicotine]].
