Cryptosleep casket

The cryptosleep casket is used to contain a humanoid or animal in a state of suspended animation.
== Acquisition ==
== Summary ==
A pawn can enter or be carried into a cryptosleep casket to activate cryptosleep. Inside, the occupants biological functions are suspended; they will not age biologically, and most needs and health conditions like hunger, drug addiction, and disease are suspended. However, social standing and time-sensitive mood effects do tick down while in cryptosleep. While in a casket, a colony's pawn counts as 100% of their actual wealth, but only count as 30% of a colonist when determining raid points. This means that pawns do count for determining raid size, just for less.
For colonists, simply select the colonist, right click the casket, and select "Enter cryptosleep casket". Other colonists can drag downed pawns by right clicking the pawn in question. Animals or prisoners can be put into cryptosleep caskets, but they need to be downed first. You can set an operation to apply anesthesia, which requires a unit of medicine. Alternatively, you can use violence, or, if they have a brain implant , they can also be EMPed to cause brain shock to quickly and cheaply down them. 
After waking from cryptosleep, a humanoid will have cryptosleep sickness for a short time, which reduces consciousness and manipulation and causes vomiting.
In order to exit a cryptosleep casket, another pawn must be directed to open it. If no controllable pawn is available to open a casket, you are unable to do anything until a raider or another random event happens to destroy it.
When a cryptosleep casket is severely damaged it will begin to spark and emit a hissing sound for ?? before exploding, dealing 10 Flame damage in a 2.66-tile radius and potentially igniting flammable pawns, buildings, and flooring in the area. For a full list of effects, see Flame.
== Analysis==
This device can help relieve a colony during a crisis, such as an intense psychic wave or medicine shortage, by safely storing pawns until the problem is resolved. Additionally, pawns addicted to a drug will not progress through withdrawal during stasis, making the casket a handy way of saving the life of a Luciferium-user, or decrease total demand over time. 
With the use of anesthetic, prisoners can also be stored temporarily to lessen the drain on colony resources while they await sale, harvesting or, if the Royalty DLC is installed, exchanged for Honor. It is also useful to save prisoners, animals or entities for later such as for inspirations for animals with high wildness and prisoners with high resistance or to make suitable containment cells for entities prone to easily breaking out. 
Researching cryptosleep caskets is required to build a ship to the stars. Ancient cryptosleep caskets, from an ancient shrine, can be used before you have research; see below for details.
=== Comparisons to other caskets ===
There are three types of cryptosleep casket: 
 
Casket 	Acquisition 	Placement 	Opening 	Resource Cost
Cryptosleep casket 	Built 	Anywhere 	Can only be opened by a hauler, using the 'Open' designator	
Ship cryptosleep casket 	Built 	Must Connect to Ship Beam	Colonist may eject self 	(+per 8 caskets)
Ancient cryptosleep casket	Found in Ancient shrines	Where found 	Can only be opened by a hauler, using the 'Open' designator	None
Ancient cryptosleep caskets have the massive advantage of not requiring research or materials. However, they can not be built or uninstalled, which can make them very inconvenient to walk to or defend. You are also required to empty out a potentially dangerous ancient shrine, along with its current inhabitants. Cryptosleep caskets can be built anywhere.
Ship caskets are more expensive and require significantly more research (10,800 pts more) than standard caskets, and also require a ship structural beam to attach to, increasing the cost again. However, not only are they required to build a ship, they also allow the pawn to eject themselves. This can be vital when the pawn is alone, or when there is nobody alive and mobile to release them. It also allows players to release enemies or animals at will, without pawn intervention.
