Shrink

's core skill, and a common choice for Stephen to, because having a Shrink is the single best way to keep up the crew's morale. If you have this skill, you should hang out in the dorms most of your day to keep everyone resting there happy with your passive ability. But don't forget to check up on and give her a hug once in a while.

You can also cure mental disorders over a few cycles of treatment, like 's innate (although they have a 15% to come back every cycle; they cannot be permanently treated, and will return with their full effects even if Mush). A message in the log will display that treatment is in progress, or has been successful. If the patient happens to be a who has retained a disorder from their time as a human, there is also a small chance for an alternative message that will expose them as their Mushy self.

Finally, do not forget your own morale, as you are the one person you cannot treat. Try to attend 's or 's speeches whenever possible, do the thing (with a safe partner) and/or claim surplus -giving fruit to keep yourself happy.

If your ship finds themselves equipped with an additional Shrink, ideally will safeguard this book until the  are dealt with. After the mush are dead, any active player (that isn't ) without an intensive job are generally good candidates for this skill.
