Better Nurses

Description
Modifies the "Nurse" role from Vanilla Ideologies Expanded to have all the additional benefits of a medical specialist. Like a medical specialist, they are also incapable of violence.

Created as a pet peeve of mine because the Nurse role always seemed pointless to me. The Medical Specialist was the only one with the bonus to tend quality and surgery, which is way too important to pass up. Every time I played, the Nurse was just a janitor, and never used their ability to actually tend the colonists. Now, you always select your best doctor for this role and they are a valuable member of the colony.

Requires Vanilla Ideologies Expanded - Memes and Structures. Load after Vanilla Ideologies Expanded - Memes and Structures. Can be added or removed at any time.

Thrown together in about an hour. Thanks for making your stuff so well-structured, Vaniila Expanded team!

Must not know any real nurses if you think they are incapable of violence. Should make a Combat Medic with similar traits but capable of "violence".

You can only have one Nurse and you can have any number of medical specialists. It's a significant buff to the healthcare meme, which may not be for everyone. I find that it's balanced fine in the kinds of colonies that I run, personally.

Thanks a lot! Manually moving All specialists can work below Better Nurses every time I reordered my modlist was becoming quite the hassle. :lunar2019crylaughingpig:

To answer your question, either of us can do it. I just added it myself; thanks for the tip.

This mod should be loaded before opa.allspecialistscanwork so that the patches from that mod can be safely applied. Should this load order entry come from this mod or from All Specialists can work? :lunar2019piginablanket:

Would it be okay to make my own version of this with credit to you? I don't know much about coding but I wanted to take a crack at doing Kitten's idea for fun.

It's all good to go now.

"Updated" to 1.4 despite Ideology Expanded not being updated yet. I find it extremely unlikely that they'll change anything so this should just work as soon as they update, but there's a small chance that it'll break.
