Life Support Continued [1.1+]

Description
Life Support

Life Support is a mod that adds the Life Support System building. It's a linkable to beds that will prevent a pawn from dying if they lose organs. I took this building from the mod 'Questionable Ethics' and made it a standalone mod to increase mod compatibility.

Building the Life Support System

Research the Vitals Monitor
Research the Life Support System
Build it from the 'Misc' Architect tab

How the Life Support Hediff works

In the current implementation, any number of organs can be removed, with the exception of the brain, without the pawn dying. However, if a pawn missing an internal organ loses connection to the Life Support System or is removed from the bed, they will die instantly. Only conditions that would kill the pawn in the vanilla game will cause them to die, upon removal from Life Support. The Life Support hediff will be applied to any pawn in a bed adjacent to the Life Support System.

How you utilize this machine is up to you; you can use it to ruthlessly harvest the organs of hapless victims, or use it as a temporary stopgap before getting a replacement organ. Perhaps you'll use it for both of those purposes!

Does not prevent death from other causes such as bleed out or overdose and removing a colonist's brain will still kill them.

Changes from Questionable Ethics

New art for the Life Support building
Life Support Hediff won't be cured by Healer Mech Serum
Life Support System building research now requires Vital Monitor as only pre-requisite
Can I use this on an existing save?
Yes.

If you built the Life Support System in a save with Questionable Ethics enabled, the building will function after adding this mod. Same deal with the Life Support hediff.

Compatibility

This mod makes no changes to vanilla defs. It should be compatible with virtually everything. Specific compatibility notes below:

Works very well alongside Death Rattle
(prevents pawns from dying immediately if power is cut)

All mods that add beds - No changes/patches required
Combat Extended - Untested(probably works)


Non-Steam Version

Just had a dude die from having their heart removed while on life support. Log says that he died from missing a body part.

I noticed that you are missing the 1.5 definition from loadFolders.xml. I don't know if it's an issue or not.

@cat2002: No rush at all and I really do appreciate you! :love: I hope all has been well!

@Deadmano Sorry for the late reply, got those merged, but don't have time to build and push to steam atm, should be updated by the end of the day.

Heya cat! I hope you're doing well! :love: When you get a moment, any chance you can merge this [github.com] and this [github.com] PR? I'd really appreciate it! It resolves an issue where if another mod uses the LifeSupport comp class and loses power to that def, it throws a Collection was modified [pastebin.com] error. I've tested and it resolves that issue while maintaining the exact same functionality. PRs for both 1.4 and 1.5 so you'd just need to rebuild the assemblies.

cat2002 has their own updated version which specifically integrates with their update of Life Support (this page).
Check the description and try that one out, it works for me!

@OniTJI what version of death rattle are you using?
OniTJI Feb 15 @ 2:37pm 
Does not prevent death by oxygen deprivation from low neck HP? (Death Rattle).
