Meds, what's the point? [Answered]

My latest colony used no meds apart from the starter ones.

I got no penalty for healing wounds with a lvl 10 doc...

If you dont use meds, there's a really low chance that the wounds get permanent. It has never happend to me and I don't use meds at all, so yeah, imo they're pretty useless.

As far as I know, Well Treated wounds also Heal faster than poorly treated ones.

Poorly treated wounds might not heal properly, leaving a colonist forever worse off in some way. I've never seen this occur for wounds treated with meds. Plus, they seem to heal quicker, generally being gone in a day or two.

IMO I think there should be:
painkillers
antidepressants (for pessimists)
specific medicines for specific diseases
and many others that I am to stupid to think of 
and if you do not use them there should be DEATHLY CONSEQUENCES  DUN DUN DUN
no but I think that there should be more than just 1 type of medicines and that the chance of the wound to become permanent to be much higher along with the time to heal MUCH longer

While I think that sounds a little extreme for different med types to be SUPER LETHAL if not used, I know I wouldn't mind seeing more than just 'Medicine'. At the very least, I wouldn't mind seeing Pain Killers, Anti Depressants, and then First Aid, First Aid's function shouldn't really change, as all it does it aid in mending wounds, but doesn't relieve pain, which is where Painkillers would come in. Then the Anti Depressants could be used to give a small Moral boost, and temporarily get rid of the unhappy moodlet (too much sims) of having the various 'depressed' traits.

Colonists will take blood loss when a wound is treated poorly, it's usually not an issue, but if the patients condition is poor enough to begin with then it can hasten their demise rather than help them.
