Do you mean kava root? I don't think the painkillers (analgesics) you can get as a starting item with certain perks (or the tourist start) affect mood.

Oh darn, no wonder my tourist run is having so many mental problems, I was hoping to offset the moral penalty from starving with the painkillers so I could make my mid game a bit easier when mental problems become more of an issue. He's so blind even with his glasses on that he hasn't found a single kava plant or much that he can eat. Oh well, time to burn a bunch of snake grass and find the coast quickly so I can get him out of a self destructive state.

It's posted on the forums and in the game, but analgesia dosage is not affecting moral no matter how high the stat bar is. Was the mood buff changed or is it simply not working as intended?

Thank you for reporting! :)

This is indeed like Philtre ( Thank you Philtre! ) suggested, working as intended.

Pain Killers do stop the pain like Kava does but Kava has more properties which the Pills just do not have.

We do appreciate every feedback we get even if sometimes it actually really is working as intended already.

Cheers!
