Red crosses on medicine

[Beider]

This is not so much a suggestion as a heads up, as I am sure some of you may be aware prison architect got in a bit of "trouble" about a month ago because of their usage of the red cross in their game. Rimworld currently uses a red cross for all it's medicine, it might be a good idea to change this so you aren't breaking the geneva convention.

Recolor it green

Or simply break the cross with little gaps so its not actually a cross but looks enough like one.

If I understand the article correctly, the main issue was that they broke British law and not so much the Geneva convention. Since Ludeon isn't registered in the UK (I assume) I doubt any problems would come of this.

Or you could use the Rod of Asclepius (or the incorrect but commonly used Caduceus)

Wait until you get a nastygram, pass it around for free publicity on gaming sites and then do the bare minimum required to comply.

Challenge mode: just switch the white and red and do it again when Switzerland comes calling.

The only thing that video produces is rage.
F*** this gay earth and all 7500000000 people on it.
Humanity needs a purge.

Quake trivially solved the issue by making it white cross on red background. Looks very much the same, but different enough that you can't disguise yourself as a member of red cross and rob a bank or worse.

Since it is likely that the Red Cross will take issue with the current medicine labels at some point, how about this suggestion for art changes...

Glitterworld - blue cross on white
Medicine - green cross on white
Herbal - bundle of green herbs in red wrapper

"Healing" symbol over creature/pawn - green cross

We can't use red hearts to represent healing because that icon is already in use for relationships. A red "+1" would be permitted. Green crosses might be suitable but would need to be checked for visibility on terrain.

I get that herbal looks the way it does for consistency but it really should just be a bundle of roots... it's "healroot" right?

[BlackSmokeDMax]
