SurgeryImproved

Description
About
This is my first mod, so there might still be issues! Feedback and bug-reports welcome.

Reworks how surgery works to be less arbitrary.

Features

In short:
  • Surgery failures (except for ridiculous) return the items
  • No random stabbing the patient on surgery failure - only non-minor failures can damage parent body parts
  • Body parts will survive unless they have < 70% health (except for ridiculous failures)
  • Allows surgery success chance to reach 100%

So, a pawn won't die when
- Body part and their parents have at least 70% health
- No ridiculous failure on a vital body part (except torso)

Detailed explanation

Minor failure:
- 10 damage to affected part.
- Won't destroy parts if they had at least 70% health
- Returns but damages items

Catastrophic failure:
- 20 damage to affected part
- 25% chance to damage parent part as well (and a 25% to damage their parents, etc.)
- Won't destroy parts if they had at least 70% health
- Returns but damages items

Ridiculous failure:
- 40 damage to affected part
- 25% chance to damage parent part as well (and a 25% to damage their parents, etc.)
- Can and probably will destroy body part operated on, but parent parts won't be destroyed if they had at least 70% health
- Doesn't return items

Version History
  • 1.2: Allow surgery success rate to reach 100%
  • 1.1: Never destroy torso in one surgery
  • 1.0: Initial release

I think you might be joking but - 1 hour is not always enough to update and debug a mod, even if you got on it immediately (which they shouldn't have to). we owe modders our patience

Well? It been about hour since official release. Where is 1.6 update?

1.6? What do you mean 1.6?! Time for all my mods to break again...
Yeah, I'll update when it's officially released.

Think this'll get a 1.6 update? Because I won't lie, Surgery sometimes nuking a Pawn's head and ALWAYS having a small chance to fail really upsets me

@Proxyer Not sure what you mean, that won't help with returning items?

Shouldn't amplify any failures, are you using only this mod?
this mod seems to amplify minor surgery failures? the only plus is that it returns any items in case it happens but my doctor constantly fails to remove/add parts over and over when compared to vanilla

Possibly. It failed 4 surgeries catastrophically in a row across several reloaded saves and then went back to normal.

Maybe Randy just hated me that particular moment.

Should still work yes. Maybe an incompatible mod?

Is this still functional? I had a pawn fail to install an eye patch and cut off the patients head . . .
