I recruited a guy yesterday. Didnt even mention insanity to him.
A bit later:

After playing with this patch all day I can say you guys are making a big deal over nothing. This patch is directly tiered to get harder for top players. Besides the blood moon the easiest ways to go insane are seeing darkness monsters and doing direct known actions like wringing turkeys, skinning frogs and licking boards. I played for hours and never hit madness level one. Simply foraging for flowers, whittling a little bit and some other easy tasks that you probably do anyways will make insanity a non-factor. Anybody building bases in the darkness or chopping trees in the darkness are the ones that have to worry about this stuff and they probably have tobacco already. It's much less harsh on noobs than disease and you'd have to try to actually die of it. I don't know why any recruit would quit over this, it's barely a chore and it adds a ton of spice to the game.
Meanwhile, speaking of these items from Insanity like 'The Precious', the shovel thingy or any of the other physical objects you get during psychotic episodes, Has anybody actually found a use for them yet? Are there any craftable items from them? Do they do anything besides grief your stuff and whisper to you?
