Reduced efficiency head

[Darth Squirrel]

I'm pretty new. One of my colonists has brain cancer which leads to an efficiency of the head of only 10%. Where can I see the effects of that reduced efficiency?

Thanks in advance :)

To the left on the health tabs are the various efficiencies of manipulation, blood filtration etc., if you mouse over them you see what exactly affects the regular 100%

I believe a loss in head efficiency will reduce consciousness, which in turn affects everything else. Mousing over the various efficiencies will provide a tooltip that tells you what it's effecting. You can get further specifics by going into the 'i'nformation tab for that colonist and looking at the specific calculations for work, combat, movement, etc..

At 10% consciousness a colonist shouldn't be able to get out of bed on their own anymore.

When I hover over the stats on the left there reduced efficiencies by the colonist's Alzheimers (brain) but non of the stats seems to be effected by the -90% of the head itself though.

I guess I'm mistaken then. I'm not sure what else a loss of head efficiency would affect, if anything, then if not consciousness.

The "head" doesn't do anything. Reduced efficiency of the brain would reduce consciousness. I would assume "brain cancer" would be affecting the efficiency of the brain not the head. If it is head efficiency though then there is no effect.

Okay thx you all :)

btw: i think u can cure Alzheimer in vanilla (not sure, but i think u can).. but im not sure if u can cure brain cancer without mods

You can just excise the cancer in vanilla. It requires industrial medicine and a decently skilled doctor. Alzheimer's requires a healer mech serum to cure and you always run the risk of it coming back on their Birthday. Never trust Birthday messages.
