Heatstroke Can Cause Braindamage

Description
Advanced levels of heatstroke can cause damage to a pawn's brain, adding longterm repercussions similar to how frostbite destroys limbs.

This mod patches Heatstroke and affects every pawn in the game that uses the "OrganicStandard" hediff giver set. This should cover just about every modded animal and race that can get heatstroke (Androids and other robots should all be safe)

Default human brain has 10 points of health; Every damage event does 1 point of damage, has a chance to scar, heal fully, cause infection, or possibly create a trauma savant.

Mean time between days of events for each heatstroke stage:
initial 0 = 0% Chance
minor 0 = 0% Chance
serious 0.15 = an average of 6.66 brain damage events every 24 hours
extreme 0.05 = an average of 20 brain damage events every 24 hours

Remember to pack your environmental suits.

@none Yeah,it's only a simple patch and should work indefinitely.

Just jumped into game to double check everything and add 1.5 to the list of supported versions for ya'
work in 1.5?

@Sopel It works, you have another mod (Likely "Brrr and phew", or something similar as stated in the comments below) causing the break.

For future reference please test mod breakages by running the mod by itself before reporting, then slowly adding potential conflicting mods. It's a big time-sink for mod devs to double check things every time someone's mod list causes an error.

Yes, that's probably it. Brrr and Phew mod changes the behavior of pawns and animals to seek a good temperature room right before heatstroke and hypothermia start to make problems. I didn't know it changes the severity, but it makes sense.

@trajda That means you have another mod that changes the amount of heatstroke severity levels the core games heatstroke hediff has (minor, major, etc). At a glance at your mod list im guessing "Brrr and Phew" off the name but i wouldn't be sure.

Vanilla+Royality, Combat extended, Dubs, Many vanilla expanded mods have all been tested and work. If you could nail it down to the exact mod there's a chance i could patch it.

I didn't even have a chance to try this mod and now I have to get rid of it.
