Extended Healing and Prosthetics

[LouisTBR]

Hi! First off, I wanted to expand the healing options:

Currently, the only real healing restrictions are 'Medicine Y/N, Doctor's Care Y/N', which seems weirdly limited compared to the rest of the game.

A priority tree like this would be good:

Bruises - No Doctor's Care, no medicine (#10)
Cracks - Doctor's Care, no medicine (#9)
Scratches - Doctor's Care, no medicine (#8)
Bites - Doctor's Care, no medicine (#6)
Burns - Doctor's Care, Herbal Medicine (#7)
Cuts - Doctor's Care, Herbal Medicine (#5)
Stabs - Doctor's Care, Herbal Medicine (#4)
Bullet Wounds - Doctor's Care, Medicine/Glitterworld (#2)
Infections - Doctor's Care, Medicine (#1)
Asthma, Artery Blockage, Mechanite etc. - Doctor's Care, Herbal Medicine (#3)

The '#' refer to priority. The lower the number, the higher priority. For example, if a character is bruised on his left shoulder but has a foot infection, the infection would be treated prior to the bruise. You can also set Doctor's Care On/Off and the type of medicine used. This could be in a tab next to Health and Operations. Of course, the game would have an auto-priority system of every type of injury (Some of which I have missed), so you don't have to set manual priorities.

Prosthetics:
There should be a lot more prosthetic options:

Head:
Synthetic Nose - 25 Synthread - Makes a noseless pawn have a nose. Simple as that.
Synthetic Ears - 20 Synthread - Gives a pawn an ear, which allows for better social interaction than those without ears.
Bionic Ears - 40 Steel, 2 Components - Gives a pawn a 120% efficiency ear.
Hearing Aid- 30 Steel, 1 Component - For those who have hearing loss, this gets rid of it.
Bionic Jaw - 60 Steel - A 120% Efficiency Jaw, for better social.

Torso/Arms
Prosthetic Torso - 120 Steel, 4 Components, 40 Synthread - A way to get around those pesky torso infections.
Bionic Lung - 40 Steel, 1 Component - Enhanced breathing, which gives character a better shooting %
Bionic Hand - 6o Steel, 3 Components - Enhanced Manipulation, can be combined with bionic arm. Gives better shooting and melee %

Stomach/Legs
Synthetic Stomach - 75 Steel, 40 Synthread - Allows for faster eating
Bionic Foot - 50 Steel - Can be combined with bionic leg, gives 15% better movement.

You get the gist. To make this a little more advanced, it would need a research tree -

Bionic Production (1500 RP, allows start of prosthetic tree)
         \/
Synthread Molding (1000 RP, allows for Synthetic parts)
         \/
Large Prosthetics (1250 RP, allows for prosthetic torso and advance in tech)
         \/
Bionic Engineering (2500 RP, allows for production of all prosthetic, synthetic and bionic body parts)

This would all be a large research bench tech, and would require this:

Prosthetic Engineering Bench
250 Steel, 5 Components
Allows for the production of all (researched) prosthetic technology.

Personally, I think these would be good additions. What do you think?

I'd expand this a little to go for simple prosthetics and then bionic limbs.

ie.

add in an early model "peg leg" for those with a lost leg, or having people able to walk around on crutches (lost foot), walking stick (criple), or using crude wheel chairs (both legs off).

this is actually a really good idea and if it cant be added to the game would make a really decent mod, maybe you should start tinkering (maybe getting help if your not sure) and start building this up. I would 100% use this mod

Most of your ideas are already done here: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=10571.0
As for replacing torso it is hard as torso in the game is the key bodypart that defines what a pawn is. So it cant be replaced without deep C# codding. I also don't get the idea of being able to combine binonich arm and hand. If you already have a bionic arm where would you attach a hand? Or do you see the arm more like a shoulder that doesn't inititaly come with a hand?

really agree with this, I hate using meds on bruises, they just seem kinda useless to do.

Often seems medicine needs to be micromanaged so much.
