I mean honestly it took me like... goodness knows how many hundreds of hours until I really thought about it, myself. my brain always just saw the big blue numbers on the different pawn capacities and immediately fixated on those. plus, like, "how much a pawn sleeps" tends to be something people look at less than "how fast a pawn works at their given tasks". it's deceptively subtle, so I don't blame you at all :P

Rest fall is a good point I didn't consider, I appreciate the consideration.

I'd considered that, but admittedly it's difficult to decide on -- generally, the rest fall increases with mechanites more than offset any short-term productivity gains made with them except for like, pawns who don't need to sleep. I could theoretically make individual hediffs/wounds/whatever overrideable with regards to how to treat them, but that introduces a level of micro that I'm not sure is within scope, and more importantly I'm not sure how I'd implement. I'll think about how to approach it though

Just a thought- for long-term diseases with upsides that require regular tending to heal like Mechanites, would it be possible to be able to check or uncheck whether or not to tend them? First time I've noticed that Mechanites may well be a good thing with Pain is Virtue Ideo.

Just saw it is quickly mentioned in both yours and in the original's version page.
Sorry it wasn't clear enough for me when reading.

If I may suggest a more detailed phrasing :
"Doctors will use the best medicine available following Pharmacist's settings (in Pharmacist menu) and within the limits of the target's allowed medical care (in pawn's screen or Assign menu)."

Thank you for answering so quickly! It is extremely clear.
I will put everyone's to the higgest option available (except prisoners for those who won't stay long-term).

I would recommend putting a short explanation of this in the mod's description, for people having the same miscomprehension about the mod's integration with vanilla mechanic.

Wish you a great day!

the second case is correct; it'll fit within the limitations set by the level of care. if you want to have it abide by the pharmacist at all times, then you can set your defaults to best quality care for every category, but I kept it as-is otherwise in vanilla for a few reasons:
* the original mod didn't affect it either, so I wanted to stay within scope
* there are different levels of micro; prisoners with long-term conditions like asthma that are going to be released after healing up, for instance, should be treated differently than prisoners with something like blood rot being held for a quest. those are both fitted under the same category of Prisoner, meaning that the medicine defaults can be used to further granularize them
* I tried to avoid touching the base game's logic whenever it wasn't necessary, especially since in this case it's only a very simple once-per-playthrough change to set the defaults to all best care allowed

hopefully that makes sense!

Hello, thank you for the work done here.
I'm having some issues understanding the interactions between Pharmacist settings and the vanilla "level of medical care" (in pawn details or assign menu).

Let's take for example :
level of medical care of the pawn = "herbal medicine"
pharmacist setting for "operations" on "industrial-tech medicine".

1) Does Pharmacist override the level of medical care (= will use industrial-tech medicine when doing an operation)
2) Or does Pharmacist try to fit within the limitations set by the level of medical care? (= will use herbal medicine for operations)

From my observations it seems to be case 2, is it correct?
If it is the case, shouldn't we by default put everyone's level of medical care on the "best quality medicine", and let Pharmacist do its magic?

thank you so much, ive been pulling my hair out trying to micromanage my glitterworld meds since 1.6

haha cheers, didnt show up in my modlist, but was still in my workshop subs. unsubbed and problem resolved, thanks!

that happens because you're subscribed to the unofficial 1.5 version on the workshop - you'll want to unsubscribe from that one! I kept the package ID the same for compatibility reasons, so it'll conflict with any other version of Pharmacist. if you've unsubscribed from it and the files are still sticking around, it could be a workshop bug; try restarting steam, or if all else fails just delete the files manually

same error as dralla 123, log is below (sorry for 2 parts).

love this... a mod that is a true remaster instead of the common remake. Very useful, will try it out soon

I can't really help with this much info; it's not a problem I'm having on my end. can you give me logs and a mod list? are you subscribed to any other versions of Pharmacist?

omg i didnt realize this mod was continued into 1.6 until now. I just screamed inside when I caught a pawn using glimmer medicine for some minor burns. Had to check for a 1.6 and found it now. Thank you for continuing it!

Update: Aforementioned known issue is apparently a problem with vanilla?? So this one's not on me. Phew.

Known issue: When doing a drafted tend with the search radius set to a non-unlimited value, doctors will use medicine even when it's forbidden. This seems to be a pretty tricky bug to pin down, but I'm working on it.

Changelog for version 0.1.2:
- Further refined changes the from 0.1.1. Drafted tend should nominally function similar to vanilla now - using the target's medical care setting, and using medicine from the inventory first - while still respecting search radius and other stuff.
- Merged in updated Spanish translations from @FerchuDev on GitHub. Thank you!!

I've done some testing on my own end to make sure things work as intended, but it's very possible I've missed something, so if anyone runs into any issues, let me know.

I cannot decide which mod to use. This one or "Smart Medicine - Continued"?

Just subbed to it and wow. there is more options. it not just Colonist, Prisoner, and Guest (do not remember if the last RW version of this type of mod had slave). But we also have Tamed Animal, Entities and Others (wonder if this is guess as well?)

@Fluffy oh, wow. that wasn't what I expected to see when I checked my comment notifs. thank you very much!! I'm glad I'm able to do it in a way that works okay, and I hope you're staying safe (and that odyssey's been fun)!

@Helluin proooobably not, honestly. pharmacist's original scope was pretty narrow by design, and I wanted to keep that here too; even the opt-in search radius feature was something I had to convince myself on. the auto-transfusion stuff is a whole new mechanic that's only related to the rest of the mod in the way of "they both do medical stuff", so I'd prefer to avoid getting out of scope ^^;;

Thank you very much for continuing to show this little mod the love it deserves!

I still consider this one of my better mods, and I'm very happy to see it being kept alive. You're absolutely correct that it was never really updated for anything since Bionics, my time and motivation for modding was waning, and the fact that I wasn't too keen on the dlcs after ideology didn't help.

I'm currently playing an Odyssey colony, and am very happy to have this little gem still available :). Please keep doing what you're doing!

@Ceres et al.

What i mean by transfusion is this :

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3462140886


Applying the blood transfusions on certain tsholds as in medicine.

I was missing this mod so much, thanks for the update Ceres!

@SanguinarcAQL it's not toooo likely; Pharmacist leverages the vanilla system for default care, which is based on enums that can't really be cleanly modified. that being said, it does specifically check for the provided medicine *or worse*, so modded medicines should still be used if they're at or below the medical quality of the set amount (60% for herbal, 100% for industrial, any for glittermeds). so modded meds should still be implicitly supported even if they aren't defined as thresholds; if you run into issues, though, then I can try my best to take a look

@Helluin I'm not super sure what that means!

@Supra I can't reproduce that myself; make sure you aren't subscribed to any of the continuations and that you don't have anything in your local mods folder of that variety. Steam sometimes also doesn't play nice with unsubscribing and needs to be rebooted; if you still run into issues after a restart and making totally sure that you don't have lingering files anywhere, upload a logfile somewhere and I can take a look

Can you also add blood transfusion thing ?

Getting an error on startup that it is trying to load the same packageID (fluffy.pharmacist) twice. I already unsubscribed from the original pharmacist so I think it's to do with this mod?

Thanks for the mod !!
I am probably not the first to ask, but do you intend to add support for modded medicine? I have some and it's a pain in the ass not being able to select them in the pharmacist settings menu

oh, thank you -- good catch. seems like that mighta been a thing with the original too. I have hopefully implemented a workaround that should be live now; now, drafted tends will skip the pharmacist settings entirely and just use straight from the inventory, like in vanilla.

this isn't the ideal solution, because notably it doesn't behave quite how I want it to; specifically, after pawns run out of the medicine from their inventory, they'll fall back onto whatever the prescribed option is, which messes with the point of making an exception for drafted tends in the first place. that being said, this should still be a pretty big improvement; I'm gonna be pretty busy for the next few days and I figured a quick fix would still be helpful. I can probably implement some settings as well, but for the time being I'll see how it plays out for a bit. lemme know if you run into any more issues

One thing I notice as a possible bug, after installing the mod, I can no longer tend downed pawns with medicine in my inventory. It just allows the joins of "Tend pawn (without medicine)" instead of the additional choice of "Tend pawn". I have every medicine permission set to max for any type of pawn, animal, enemy or guest.

Thanks! Loved this mod and glad someone is taking over for 1.6.

if you want more people to subscribe to this id recommend putting 1.6 in the title. Great mod either way.

Thank you. Your additional fixes sound great

Thank you so much

absolute saint

YES finally my pawns dont use my glitterworld meds to tend to gut worms

they are! stuff like that is covered under the "Ongoing conditions" treatment category, which also includes stuff like gut worms and fibrous mechanites

there was a version before called Pharmacist - 1.5 Unofficial (+ Blood Rot & Lung Rot fix)

are these fixes also implemented?

FINALLY, THANK GOD

thank god
figuratively unplayable game without this

Very nice!

Ah! I've missed this mod, thanks for bringing it back <3
