If a colonist mental breaks while under the 'Psychic Drone' debuff, the intensity of the drone should factor into the likelihood of them going berserk, even if its a soft break.

The fluff for the message is that the colonist is hearing voices in their head that keep changing but the message stays the same: kill people. It only makes sense that if this is the thing that manages to drive a colonist over the edge, they might just actually start listening to the voices in their head?

Currently you only get this from 2 random events: a ship part crashing or random occurrence with no real counter. The debuff itself isn't even that bad as long as it doesn't hit when your colony is facing extremely hard times. For an event that essentially causes your colonists to have schizophrenia, hearing manipulative voices in their heads telling them to harm their fellow colonists, it really isn't difficult to deal with, which is why I think it needs a buff as of currently.
