Being happy can raise it, pain mostly lowers strength but can lower everything if its bad enough, I dont remember what low mood does.
I also dont know what most drugs do, I dont have my chars take them...

You're missing on a lot. Don't be afraid to use them when you need them, just keep a decent rotation to avoid overdoses and addiction and you'll be fine.

Almost all drugs enhance mood.
Stimulants (caffeine, cocaine, amphetamine, etc.) give stat and speed bonuses, but are very addictive.
Depressants (alcohol, opiates, cannabis, etc.) reduce pain, but slow you down.
Hallucinogens (pink tablets, some mushrooms, etc.) give a much higher mood increase, but make you hallucinate.
Other drugs have unique effects, some of them spoilery.

I once took a metric ton of datura seed, but it didn't seem to do much other than put dots all over the visible screen.

Unless it's been changed (and I don't see why it would) the perception requirement for landmines is 12.

Datura is pretty good, it has pretty strong stimulant effects across the board, along with its own unique buff.  If you don't have adderall, datura's not too bad, and it grows wild!

So I went from chilly to very cold, and suddenly my character went from killing zombies with fair ease to DEAD.

So, no clothes + wilderness = get fucked

Still, its nice to actually have trouble surviving for once without making the game brutal. Balance is key.

Pity though, I had good feelings about that run. Guess I should have made for the isolated hotel first, and killed the zombies there while I was still warm and taken their clothes.

EDIT: Also, I think making rocks stack in your inventory fucked with making stone hammers. Refuses to let me use a rock as both the hammering tool and ingredient. And yes, I have multiple rocks.

The discussion about datura, especially eating a metric ton of it to no effect, has me wondering what, if any overdose effects are implemented in-game.  Datura's a nightshade, after all, and one of the more toxic ones, at that.  Let's see, leaving aside death, symptoms are...hyperthermia, tachycardia, photophobia (due to eye dilation), and...oh, anticholinergic delirium.  That could be a fun one to have in-game, since we already have hallucinatory effects.

It dosent have OD effects? The other drugs do...

[Culise]

I don't actually know, hence the question; I assumed from the fact that n9103's character didn't drop dead that either it wasn't implemented or he didn't eat quite enough to trip the highest dosage levels.

You can DEFINITELY drop dead from an OD. I learned the hard way, when I've tried using stimulants to counter depressants or the other way round during a lab raid.

[Aseaheru]

We are talking about datura specifically.

[TheBronzePickle]

First rule of taking drugs: NEVER mix stims and depressants. That shit can straight up kill you, OD or not.

[Kaitol]

Yeah,  drank myself to death once because I thought my ethanol burner and blood filter would save me.

Obviously I was inept in their use, hence the death part.

Whuuuut! Not true survival game if you cant accomplish everything by banging two rocks together

Yeah, that's what I was talkin' about earlier. Can no longer use rocks as ingredient AND hammering tool.
