What materials are needed for harvesting organs?

[Godkiu]

The game keeps telling me that materials are needed for the operations. So what are they?

Also, will the mood of my people be affected if I just take 1 kidney from them?

Medicine is required, so you have to allow prisoners to use at least herbal medcine if you want to operate on them, and need a med pack avalable if you want to perform surgery on a colonist.

"My Organ Harvested" is a -30 mood debuff and last 7.5 days. Everyone else gets a -5 debuff from someone getting an organ harvested.

Be careful about taking to many organs, the -5 debuff will stack for every organ taken from a prisoner, and if the prisoner also dies from taking to many organs or a vital one, i.e. heart, that will also give you a debuff...forgot how much that debuff is

I've had the problem with harvesting prisoner's organs, when with enough medicine in stock and allowed for prisoners my operators did not want to do operation with material needed message. I solved it by forcing him to pick up medicine into his inventory and drop it right in front of patient's bed. When there was medicine in the same room, material needed message disappeared and operation started.

You need an medicine of any type for anesthetic, until anesthetic effect wears off you are free to take out any organ with the price of 1 medicine per organ until the effect wears off. Once anesthetic wears off, you will need to use +1 medicine. If you're low on medicine, don't do a lot of surgeries and take organs only when you think you're in desperate need of them.

I think if the OP didn't solve it, they probably found a workaround or stopped playing in the four years that have passed.

I wonder what version that was?

July 2016 should be just when Rimworld was put on steam (15th of July -16), so alpha 14.

I haven't noticed this, when i need to suddenly stop a surgery (usually milliseconds after anaesthetic has been administered) My doctor has to grab more medicine

Wait, wouldn't that be A18 then? *confused*

It's one medicine per procedure. If you restart a procedure, it counts as a NEW procedure ^^'.

the minimum you need is herbal medicine

Nope, A14. See:

Ahh, time travel.
This is starting to feel like a Dr Who episode.

They might have been sitting and waiting all this time.
