Turns the game into fear and hunger

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

did the bare minimum to port this to b42. worked out of the box for me with some minimal mod structure changes

can this be updated for b42

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?

May I add this to my modpack?

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.

W mod using this on a super modded coop playthru with realism in mind and it works

Oh just saw now that it has a sandbox setting avaliable, sorry I didn't see that

I do like this mod a lot, but I don't know how I'd survive using this with the only cure, all times I tried to save myself from a bite, I died really quick, but I don't dare to write on the lua to change it my self, i'm to noob for that ;-;

For those who are finding this mod to be too much, but still want wound infections to do something, you can edit the mod manually. Heres how:

Go into the mod and find the dod_PlayerUpdate.lua. Find the following set of code:

if infectionLevel > 0 then
infectionLevel = math.max( 0.08 , infectionLevel * DisinfectOrDie.difficulty * 0.06)

for i = 0, parts:size() - 1 do
damage:AddDamage(i, infectionLevel)
end
end
end

See the number that is in bold? That is the damage you will take, which is multiplied by the difficulty level. Change that to a lower value, and the damage every minute becomes lower.

I like the idea of the mod, but it does need some balance.

Could someone please elaborate more on how disinfecton urgency works? Does it nerf the damage or just how fast you gotta disinfect, or how aggressive the penalty ramps up?

way too difficult. one scratch and if you don't have disinfectant on you or bourbon you're dead.

There could be a deeper level infection before it starts to cause you damage, with a chance of you healing before it goes to this 2nd level.

For anyone wondering why life keepds draining after disinfecting - If the wound already has vanilla "infected" tooltip you wouldn't be able to start regenerating until the tooltip is gone. May take a minute, so hang tight and dont go to sleep while bleeding

I think this is broken, sometimes i disinfect my wounds and keep receiving damage

@DemonchanSama (Lilyia) With all due respect, I don't think the author cares. I don't mean to take shots at the author. Judging by his comments and when last this was updated, I believe he thinks it's in a good spot and likes the mod the way it is.

This is really one of those, "If you don't like it, don't use it" scenarios.

This is a great mod concept but I don't think "Damaging the player" directly is the proper avenue when it comes to infection.

A suggestion to the developer- Instead of straight damage multiplier, infection should do a various assortment of negative things to your characters which will make gameplay extremely miserable and dangerous if ignored, so you can't just run around with infected wounds and continue to loot, you'll have to actually expend medical supplies and stay adequately prepared.

Infections should increase things like - Actual sickness, increasing pain, decreasing movement speed, decreasing carrying weight/strength fitness etc. or even make up your own moodels and ailments to coexist alongside your mod.

If you ignore infections you should get sicker and die from it, straight damage does not fit the bill for me.

This mod is epic !
Nauxs smells like cheese.

Hey Tuna, the mod is great. Buncha WHINERS in here... I love running low on medical supplies and having real incentive to go loot a hospital. It really adds a sense of urgency and depth to medical care that the base game doesn't tend to have. It's a lot of fun. Good job.

Health sometimes still drains even when I have disinfected the wound and I'm wearing a sanitised bandage

Legitimately one of the worst balanced mods I've ever had the misfortune of trying. Get scratched once, and in the course of an hour using ripped sheets since I just started I get infected, and in 3 hours I'm apparently so mortally infected within that hour that I am now half hp.

I don't know about you but when I get a scratch irl I don't end up feeling like I'm going to die in just 4 hours time. Quickest uninstall of my life.

Mod is broken. HP still drops using a sterilized bandage on non-infected wound sometimes.

Bug: Health starts going down even BEFORE the wound is infected, pls fix

Been looking all over the place for a mod that makes normal infections a threat and needing bandages!

Severe Non-lethal infections shuts off lethal zombie infection chances from scrathes and lacerations, while bites are optional.

As long as this mod does not cause an infected wound on a scratched hand to kill a character in an hour, but more like a day or two, I'm in!

Thank you!

the wound doesn't get infected and still takes your life (bug)

why are you guys complaining? just turn the difficulty down in settings or don't use it

died, mod made me sob in the floor

Broken mod, every scratch (from tree or trip) will kill you. Its pretty stupid and not hardcore. I wonder how did I managed to survive my childhood without being diped in desinfectant. Not recommending. 1/10

@NukaBoy

it's managable

It's not broken, It's a very hardcore mod.
On lowest setting, it's manageable. Any higher it makes injuries put you out of commission and sends you back to your safehouse.

It requires you to always have sterilized bandages on and even use disinfectants.

If you enjoy throwing a plain bandage on a deep laceration and moving on with no consenquence, don't add this mod. So pretty much, if you don't want a medical challenge don't bother.

In vanilla, disinfectant and sterilized bandages barely have any benefit.

@MichelleUnicorn How did it end? I was planing to use this mod on my server on the lowest setting. Is it playable?

Time to play "Is the Mod Actually Broken or is it a Skill Issue?"

And last comment - Tested in debug mode by getting a wound climbing through a window, putting a rag, got dirty, lost health, put a sterilized rag, stopped losing health after the infection was healed.

P.S. I love the mod it's awesome - I love to play with saliva only transmission and disinfect or die I think it's a solid way to play - thank you for your awesome work. Ignore the haters.

https://clips.twitch.tv/VictoriousManlyDiscMau5-j-ojsIWZyTfKodwk - u can see the wound getting worse cuz infected and better because steralized so I don't know what's happening to the others

I just got injured, was losing health from disinfect or die, I slept, removed bandages when I woke up, still had the wounds, but had healed myself to full bar, the wounds were infected - thought I was fucked, I added sterilized rags anyway to try buy a little time or ability to sleep and they are now still wounded but I'm not dying from them - so working fine for me.

Rename the mod to sleep or I die.

Ignore the title I didn't name it

If you still wanna use this mod and don't care about changing the way you treat the wound - sleeping through the health loss (Sleep in a bad chair with an alarm) until the wound is healed. Once the wound is gone you're fine.

imagine dying because you tripped and scraped your knee

Mod appears to be broken or mistuned or something. Getting any kind of wound in a critical location seems to be untreatable, even constantly swapping out sterile bandages before they could get dirty, still died just from a scrape. Interesting idea, but seems broken as of now.

i had a head wound, that got infected, disinfected it, used sterile bandages made sure they never went dirty, and still my health kept depleting until death. cant recommenced this until it gets fixed.
good idea.

this is a terrible mod don't use it, level four first aid both wounds disinfected and bandaged with clean proper bandages, die from nothing. get one wound infection and you'll die as quick as if you drunk bleach

Usually I'd respond with "That's a bit harsh" to the comment below but in this case it's entirely warranted. Mod is broke, mod author knows it's broke, mod author too lazy to fix or even edit the description to say "Mod is broke, I won't update it"

kinda shi tty gam ngl
