Brain Damage

[shiggies713]

So there are a few older topics on this, instead of necromancy I decided to start a new one.

One of my better colonist got kicked in the head while hunting some caribou, they went manhunter and downed him. He still moves around and works and stuff but he is soooo slow. Like I have him, and another colonist (whom has the fibrous mechanites) and the one with fibrous mechanites runs circles around him when they are both cooking (i have 2 stoves) she is twice as fast as him literally.

He is good at shooting (13) and intelligence (18) and a couple other things are decent, and he is one of my favorite tribals, Val, so I don't really want to get rid of him.

My question is does his brain injury affect his shooting and/or research skills too? I think he is worth having around still, he has been my workhorse when it comes to research. Though lately watching him, his aim sucks and he is slow now so I took him off hunting duty. He basically just sits in the lab and researches now.

Both research and shooting are manipulation and sight based, and consciousness affects manipulation. So better get some surgery mod to fix him. BrainPal from Misc. CORE or something from EPOE.

If you don't want to use a mod, you can wait until you have several Luciferium stored up and put him on one usage per week. It will eventually heal his brain injury.

well i don't have too many mods, not any of those. The one to warn me of predators targeting my animals and people is the only one i can even recall having.

I might just grin and bear it. He still researches pretty decent and i have 7 other colonist so its not like one extra mouth to feed breaks the bank. Maybe i can get him some bionic parts eventually and he'll at least walk and see decent.

Rimworld without mods? I have 159, and huge part of them are pretty much essential.

most mods break the game so hard tho.

No need for mods - just use healer mech serum assuming RNGesus favours you.

You could also just dose him with Luciferium, that fixes brain damage. You will have to always have it on hand after that though, because if he goes a few days without it he will have a psychotic break which will last until he either gets more of it or dies.

And I highly recommend Rimsenal: Vanilla Enhanced, it adds several more weapon types that fit in perfectly with the vanilla ones, and are balanced very well.
