As most of you are aware, neutroamine is a synthetic chemical crafting component used in both drugs and medicine in the game, and can only be obtained via trading or quests. It is the base of most drugs and medkits.

I was wondering what it is meant to represent in an actual sense, much like how psychoid is just the coca plant with a different name to get around stupid Australian regulations; same with yayo, smoke leaf, flake, the old crackpipe texture, etc.

Is it just a future thing the writers put in as a new scientific discovery that only exists in the universe of rimworld, or is it meant to represent a real-life compound?

If I'm just being dumb or reading into it to much let me know, I'm just curious about what it could be. Thank you for your time

Edit: rempresent lmao

As someone else said; mechanically it's a limiter to prevent you from making infinite drugs & medicine.

It was inspired by methylamine (I watched Breaking Bad). But mechanically I just wanted a resource that was only available via trade.
