Does anyone know how to code in new addictions? I’m trying to code in new drugs, and with them, their addictions. Slurm so deliciously addictive you could chew your arms off for a gulp. And etcetera.

So I got my first artifact ever a few in-game days ago. I wasn’t super clear on what it is or does, but I stupidly decided to activate it in my LMOE shelter.

Thing is, pain doesn’t seem to do enough outside of combat. In combat, it decreases stats and what have you, but outside of it? Nothin’.
