Description
December 2024 Note: This is for Build 41 only, the Build 42 update will come in the future!

Adds the requirement of a cleaning product (any of: soap, bleach, cleaning liquid, bottle of disinfectant) before a dirty rag or dirty bandage may be washed. It is important to note that once clean, you can sterilise the rag in the same vanilla manner.

Sadly the vanilla game does not have any noticeable penalties for bandaging with dirty bandages or keeping the dirty bandage on, so I recommend you use a mod like Severe Non-Lethal Infections or Disinfect or Die, or any other first aid/medicine overhaul to add some depth to the game mechanics. I personally haven't seen any that made acquiring clean bandages a bit harder in the first place, hence the creation of this mod.

Extra Notes & Plans:
-Update the mod for Build 42 when the time comes.

In the game, bleach is set to be a 'food' item and it was not possible to change how much of bleach is used to clean the rags as it did not have HungerChange, and it was not possible to add HungerChange to this item for some reason... so using bleach would consume the entire bottle. I hate this game sometimes.

Please do not mod-pack or reupload this mod anywhere else, just share the link to this page.
I hope you enjoy this mod.

@aquelarrefox I shall at some point, unfortunately I've not had the time to play the game or to mod much after everything else I've uploaded or updated. I hope this is a minor issue as there are no clean water sources after the water shutoff that allow this behaviour.

Will you change the time action too to make washing in a water source need soap?

1.2 Update

Reverted the time taken to wash these items close to vanilla defaults. For longer washing, use my Timed Actions mod.

Thanks for letting me know. I thought this may happen, since washing from infinite sources is a "timed action" instead of a "recipe". I play with water shut off from the start, but if I have time I might change that eventually. In the end, it probably still makes sense that you can get the bandages etc. clean if you have access to a consistent clean source of water. I know the river/etc. do not allow for this.

Works for water in containers, but skins still let me clean with just water. Mybe it's done problem similar to the brush teeth mod where sinks not always show the option to brush

you should also make it so that its limited use so you cant use the rag or bandage if ts TOO bloody no matter how much you clean it.

Another of your awesome mods to sub too. One thing that has always bugged me is that rags and bandages can be used forever with just a quick wash between. Wish there was a way to let them wear out based on how long they are used for. Small cuts and scratches will heal quick and so don't really wear them down, but bigger wounds where they need to stay on longer, will wear them down until they are useless. Until such time as something like that comes to be, this is a great alternative because it slows down how often they can be cleaned between uses.
