About Madeness (FU)
Just im curious on this, or... trying to remember how this part works.

The first question i have, if u start to unlock things of the madness at some point i will start to gain madness witouth doing anything? like research i mean (I have lazy memories this is the price if u start to read about madness)

Probably im wrong, and i hope that. I just don't want to unlock things about madness and starting to get madness naturally.

And if i think to unlock these things is more for completing or try everything on the Researsh Three. :slugcatsleep:

Once you get madness it decrease slowly over time. You can accelerate this with a special building or food, as you will get various debuff depending on how much madness you have.

You gain madness by using certain consumables (most of which are unlocked in Madness research tree in the first place), having or standing near some disturbing items (mostly paintings) or by being affected by mentally disruptive atmosphere (Atropus planets and such). You probably have to rely on latter to get some starting madness before you get access to former. Or maaaybe there is a questline in science outpost that grant you madness as reward...
Madness naturally decrease over time - faster if you have high protheon, which is generally good thing to have because protheon generate research passively. So you probably have to use your madness up as fast as possible, and store it only in form of consumables.

Thanks, thats helps a little. But i was asking if u start to unlock things on madness or doing the quest of the Pink hair guy u can start to get madness naturally doing anything?. Is something i want to avoid if that exists. Because i don't want to visit every time or get a way to delete the madness.

No. Unless you walk on certain planets without proper protection, but then it's on you.
