Disinfect or Die

Description
Make the first aid system more realistic in a simple way:
  • Wearing dirty bandages on bleeding wounds increases chance of infection and will make infections worse
  • Infected wounds are more dangerous
  • Wearing dirty bandages on infected wounds is sometimes a death sentence, often causing more health loss than wearing no bandage at all

Ordinarily, washing bandages and keeping disinfectant is almost entirely pointless. With the extra danger it's very helpful. If you pay attention you'll be fine. There is no way to tell that you have an infected wound under a bandage, but the heart icon will shake when you're taking damage.

There is a sandbox setting "Character>Disinfection Urgency" to scale the damage you take. (some have complained that Very Low is still too high)

I'm happy this mod exists. Wound infections are no joke.

This mod basically makes dirty bandages into lascerations in disguise, Good luck

@GerGOGGadget - It is not an immediate removal of the infection. There is a "level" to infection that must reduce. Disinfecting is a good start, and you'll need clean bandages. Sterilized works even faster.

heyy is it intended behaviour of the mod that when i have an infected wound, and use a disinfectant on my wound it doesnt disinfects it but wastes the disinfectant?:spiffo:

most realistic mod! 10/10! Remember when Theodore scraped his arm on that broken car door in the walking dead?

Мод слишком не сбалансирован, умереть от рваной раны хотя ты мгновенно перевязался и все делал сделал верно - легко. Задумка неплохая, реализация так себе.
