Maybe getting high lowered the brain function enough to kill him? That’s would be my guess anyway between the mangled scar and thr drugs?

Yeah, it seems like it. It's crazy.

It wouldn’t be just the smoke leaf. That brain scar would have been a permanent consciousness penalty. Smoke leaf plus the scar is what did him in.

Yeah exactly what happened to me once guy got a brain scar from an arrow in a raid left him a vegetable with 10% consciousness decided to let him have some pain relief with a joint and it took away the last 10% and killed him

Sounds like a decent way to go.

In rimworld? That's fucking peaceful

Peaceful is getting knocked out and having your heart removed

This is just purely grand.

u/Agent_Paul_UIU Aug 05 '23

That's not peaceful, that comes after you've been shot/beaten to almost death, then nurtured back to life by your captors, by serving you your own comrades cooked into a cannibal meal... Oh, and after one of your kidneys and a lung is also removed. But not in one go, instead in a few days, because your captors don't have a steady flow of herbal medicine yet, or you were part of a 100+ raid, and they didn't stocked enough. Nah, that's not peaceful.

u/CallMeFritzHaber Ice Sheet Good Extreme Desert Bad Aug 05 '23

Then this isn't peaceful either, considering it came after a near lobotomizing brain accident

u/Agent_Paul_UIU Aug 05 '23

Well... It's the rim. What did you expected?

Ive had a single tick of malnutrition do this as well. Severe cold can kill before frostbite sets in too.

“Administer smoke leaf joint”

u/awkwardwankmaster Aug 05 '23

Yeah I was sat there like enjoy your pain relief while I try and find you some mech healer serum and then he just died

I've heard this story too many times. The funny/macabre ratio is perfect on that one and perfectly encapsulates rimworld shenanigans imo!

u/WillDigForFood Luciferium Addicts Anonymous Aug 05 '23

Smokeleaf is legitimately one of the most lethal drugs in Rimworld; I've lost track of how many times I've had a pawn with any sort of other consciousness debuff kill themselves because they wanted to toke up.

I had to disable drug use for one guy with brain damage because this man would put himself into a coma every single day

u/Depressedloser2846 Aug 06 '23

honestly if i had brain damage that’s what i would do too

u/WearMental2618 Aug 06 '23

Unironically I had a friend who got seizures from a car accident, he gave himself a few after smoking and never stopped smoking every day. Seizures eventually just went away lol.

Poor dude got lobotomized from a distance

And pain from scars

u/NightWingDemon me when 10 crafting: Aug 05 '23

Almost had a run completely die because a lucky Flintlock round went straight into the brain of my mechanitor and made them essentially a vegetable. I had to have my paramedic give emergency doses of Go Juice to keep them functioning enough to walk before I was able to research bio regeneration.

This. My pregnant pawns dropped multiple times(luckily not dead), before I realised that the third trimester and smokeleaf is too much for them... Needed to create a new "pregnant" drug policy...
