Where to find

SAN (sanity) drains from overwork, hunger, injury, cold/heat exposure, and long shifts. Below 50 SAN a Pal slows work; below 20 it may go on strike or attack the base. Recovery structures unlock across Tech levels 10-42.

Key fact 1

Hot Spring (Tech 21) restores ~15 SAN/min per Pal — build one large spring per 5 Pals; two small springs are worse than one large.

Key fact 2

High-quality food boosts recovery: Salads +5, Pizza +10, Sakurajima Sushi +15 SAN per meal on top of hunger fill.

Key fact 3

Sanity Meds (Tech 34) instantly restore 40 SAN. Craft 10 and keep them in the Feed Box for emergencies during raid prep.
