[A16] Chemical Damage Reworked (v1.1) (14.1.2017)

[XeoNovaDan]

"In what way is Chemical Damage 'reworked'?"
The way in which this mod works is that instead of chemically damaged organs offering flat penalties without any real progress or regression; they now work similarly to Chronic diseases where they can progress to the point where they could become fatal (albeit slowly), or they can regress to the point where symptoms are to a lesser extent - but they'll never completely go. Symptoms are also more true to real life in this rework (e.g. cirrhosis and kidney damage now cause pain depending on the stage's severity).

For the meantime, chemical-related diseases will only progress over time much like a chronic disease, and they'll need to be treated every 7 in-game days. I don't know how to make it so that consumption of the drug directly affects severity, and only do so when the condition is present.

Chemical-related diseases will typically progress at 0.5% severity per day, but there's a 1-in-6 chance that they'll progress either 20% faster, or 20% slower upon contraction, at which point it's a perfect coin toss what you'll get. Typical average treatment quality required to at least stabilise the condition is 66.666...%, but this changes to 53.333...% for slower progression, or 80% for faster progression.

If you want to get more technical on this: The severityPerDayTended is -0.0075, and the severityPerDayNotImmuneRandomFactor is 0.88 to 1.11

Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with any other mod that doesn't change the way that chemical diseases work. I'm not aware of any others, so this should be fully compatible with all mods.

Can safely be added to and removed from existing savegames as it only modifies existing things.

Is it Save friendly? Im pretty interested in this mod right now

[XeoNovaDan]

It should be, it's purely in XML. I'd backup the save just in case though

Updated to v1.1 - rebalances and new art

Are you considering updating this?
I installed it in A16 but non of my pawns managed to get any of those diseases so i never actually tested it xD
But the added intricacy to the diseases more than a single flip of a coin -you have it or not- makes it more interesting.

It's very low on my priority list. I may, I may not, but it's unlikely.
