Bandages

[Goldenpotatoes]

I understand that the ability to self-heal can be immensely OP in some cases, but when my entire colony falls apart because my only medic got bitten by a squirrel and proceeds to bleed out over it, then there's a problem here.

Let colonists make bandages out of cloth/other clothing with the crafting skill, leave the actual medicine to serious stuff (infections, broken/punctured organs).
Let there be 2 treatment options for wounds:

Bandaging - Colonists can bandage themselves/others to stop the bleeding. Infections can still occur depending on quality of bandage.
Medicine - Same as now

Maybe make a special kind of gauze that's crafted by combining bandages and herbal medicine as an advanced bandage that helps prevent infections?

Good idea. I suggested something similar (field medics for healing outside a bed), but this is better, and ties into the different cloth types available. I think it should be dangerous though, carrying a high chance for infection. And obviously, you can't bandage a wounded organ, so only superficial wounds should be self-healable.
