Dominant Hand

[milon]

I'd like to see the implementation of Dominant Hand for all human(oid) pawns.  The dominant hand, just like in real life, is more effective than the non-dominant hand.  Most pawns (80%?) would be right-handed, a few (15%?) would be left-handed, and rarely (5%?) they would be ambidextrous.

Losing the non-dominant hand/arm would impact hand/arm skills in a small way.  Losing the dominant hand/arm would impact hand/arm skills in a big way.  Losing both would disable the skill entirely.

Not exactly a "cheap" idea, but not terribly complex either, I think.  And it would add a little more variety to the colonists.

I love this idea also, I'm wondering why I didn't think of it before! I hope it gets implemented. +1

You can still have people head-but trees till they give in without arms. Also, how would somebody that is disabled/bedridden eat without arms?

^ The same way little kids eat.  Face first!  nom, nom, nom!

More simulation, we say. Moar!

What if they have a spinal injurary and cant walk or even move from the neck down?

No, silly. In Rimworld, a vegetable turns to meat for the other colonists

Either suffocation or quadriplegia.
