I tired cannibalism once (thought it would be a clever way to dispose of raider bodies) and the -15 hit almost finished my colony. I was mining very deeply into a mountain and the extra -15 was just enough to push everyone hauling through dark, ugly, cramped spaces while slightly tired/hungry to a near mental break. Something like 12 colonists would have gone mad had I not reacted quickly enough. Three did go mad though no-one died.

A -25 penalty to mood is colony destroying if everything is not rainbows and buttercups imho.

I'm planning on bringing it back, in a form where it only affects some of the colonists. This way, it can be dangerous, but you'll still have unaffected colonists to survive through the tough times and recover. The big problem before was that it would just wipe everyone.

Currently plan is to have it either affect only men or only women :D (psychic frequency or something).

Sort of the same thing that effects the different animals? Reasoning being human men and women are different enough from each other mentally that it's similar to the distinction between squirrels/boomrats/muffalo? Lol.
