Help from a Friend

[DirectorBright]

When colonists go into a mental break, they're taken out of action for up to days at a time and left to just wander around randomly. Sometimes, if situations are bad enough, they'll straight up murder their best friends over things that could be resolved if they worked together.

When a colonist suffers a psychotic break, a colonist with a high enough relationship to be considered a friend should be able to approach the victim and attempt a social test. Success ends the mental break, with no mood boost given for catharsis and perhaps a debuff to their work speed, as this does not actually end the break, but simply encourages the colonist to work.

In addition, Berserk characters should prioritize rivals and ignore friends unless a rediculous failure occurs on the attempt to calm them down, as the colonist said exactly the wrong thing. A ridiculous failure would also create a strong negative relationship debuff, as your best friend just attacked you.
