Many consumables (food and meds) are addictive substances, which means they have a chance to cause their users to develop an addictive behavior and require to keep consuming the med in question, or suffer the consequences of withdrawal.

Addictions are classed by group. Certain substances, not all of which are medical aids, may generate addictions. The chance to develop an addiction, as well as the effects of withdrawal, all depend on what kind of substance and thus, of addiction group, is involved.

Developing addictions

Each substance has an addition chance per use, which refers to the chance of developing an addiction to this substance every time one instance is consumed.

If an addiction is indeed developed, the Contestant will start feeling the Level 1 withdrawal effects. A 50-turn counter is then started.

  • If the Contestant does not seek treatment, or takes more of the same substance before that counter ends, then the Contestant will be under Level 2 withdrawal, and the corresponding effects are applied instead.
  • While under Level 2 withdrawal, a 100-turn counter begins. If the Contestant still doesn't consume or seek treatment before that counter ends, then the Contestant will start suffering Level 3 withdrawal and its corresponding effects, and those effects will last indefinitely, until treatment or consumption occurs.

If an addiction has been developed, withdrawal effects can only be removed in one of two ways:

  • Temporarily, by consuming more substances from the addiction group, to ward the withdrawal effects away. This temporarily disables withdrawal effects for as long as the drug's effects last, but this also means the addiction remains and is only temporarily warded away.
  • Permanently, with the help of a hospital room, which may offer treatment to permanently get rid of addiction and addiction symptoms (1000 P$ to cure the body of one addiction; full treatment of multiple addictions may cost more).

Withdrawal effects are, majoritarily, a collection of negative Secondary effects.
