Despite the description stating that you will fall asleep, taking [[Sleep Gas Generation]] will not make you immune to falling [[asleep]] from {{PAGENAME}}.
{{Name}} is a [[Mutations#Physical Mutations|physical mutation]] that allows the player to control the flow of their adrenaline, granting them various bonuses.  


== Advantages ==
Adrenal Control grants the "Release Adrenaline" activated ability, which when used, will grant the {{qud text|&Radrenaline flowing}} status effect and will cause the mutation level of all of the player's physical mutations to increase a temporary amount based on Adrenal Control's mutation level. It will also increase the players's [[Quickness]] by a mutation level-based amount.  
* Increases the [[Quickness]] of it's users, which allows them to take more actions per turn. This means they can attack more, run faster, and use items faster.
* Increasing or decreasing adrenal flow is a free action, allowing the player to buff up and attack in one turn.
* Has excellent synergy with [[Force Bubble]], as, if [[Force Bubble]] is activated after being exhausted but before falling asleep, it will push enemies away and, even at its lowest level, will stay up long enough to protect the player while asleep.
* Even when no grades of adrenaline are active, {{PAGENAME}} provides a small [[Quickness]] bonus.


== Disadvantages ==
Adrenal Control will not increase its own level. Additionally, attributes bonuses gained by boosting mutations that grant such bonuses (such as {{favilink|Double-muscled}}) will be temporary and will not count towards satisfying [[skill]] requirements.
* Falling asleep in dangerous combat (when the player is more likely to be using adrenaline) can mean death.
 
* Relatively high cost.
The cooldown of Adrenal Control is special in that it ticks down every one of your actions. Most abilites tick down every 1000 action points, potentially making Adrenal Control finish a lot faster than other mutations with a similar cooldown with high [[quickness]] or [[movespeed]] (such as during [[Sprint]]).
== Formulas ==
The following formulas are used to determine bonuses based on mutation level.{{Code Reference|name=AdrenalControl2|namespace=XRL.World.Parts.Mutation|class=AdrenalControl2}}
