This mod would be so great with some basic customization. Like a slider for the time factor and an option to insta-kill after 3 organs are removed/destroyed (to keep vanilla balance).

Hello friends. As the previous mantainer troopersmith1 has given the go-ahead, I have updated Death Rattle to 1.4 found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2879582925 .

1.4?

I keep losing the 1.3 version in the sea of reuploads thank you for this.

Here's your 1.3 version. Its the same guy who updated it to 1.2 who you could literally have scrolled down a couple of messages to see. Its always worth searching the workshop to see if you can find updated versions of defunct mods

1.3?

Any chance of an update?

Likewise, oxygen deprivation = no lungs/severely damaged neck, coma = 0 conciousness, acute renal failure= no kidneys, acute liver failure is obvious.
These all kill at different rates, and some can cause brain damage if allowed to become too severe. If you need to, cryptosleep them to buy yourself more time

Get them a new heart

How do you fix no pulse?

I updated this mod for 1.2, and incorporated Death Rattle Comatose into it. Here's a link:

Yeah, that's a downside with playing with mods. The base game is designed so that consciousness debuffs will rarely stack up to a lethal level, but this is still possible if enough things stack up. With mods, such things may not be taken into account, thus the death by no consciousness. The devs really should have made things like blood loss or disease a multiplier on consciousness instead of a flat penalty, or you can get cases where a person with loads of minor stuff is less conscious than a person with life threatening blood loss

Good, that makes so much more sense. I’ve never understood the logic behind this instadeath from a mere buildup of small symptoms. I’d be fine with any one of those individual conditions reaching 100% and then killing the person. If my guy reached 100% dehydration and died that’s obviously fair. But the fact that I took maybe one hour longer than I should have in bringing him water, and therefore allowed him to tick into the initial stages of dehydration and therefore die, is so silly.

Yes it does - almost every capacity that would kill when reduced to 0 now has some kind of slower death. As far as I know, you can only die if you lose your brain (or its containers), lose your torso, or bleed out. If I remember correctly, when consciousness is zero, you get a slow progressing "coma" affecting the whole body. I have never seen it progress far but I think that it will kill if it lasts too long

Does this also remove the instadeath on consciousness reaching zero? That arbitrary bs has always annoyed the he’ll out of me. So irritating saving a guy from blood loss then having him die to (minor) dehydration while he’s just lying in bed resting.

1.2!

@Dr. Dick great story man. Really relevant to the mod too.

My dog had liver failure from a stray bullet, so I euthanized him, and then my other dog started eating him, starting with the head

would like the update to 1.2 as well, that would be awesome

yeah the unofficial update isn't really the best

I really would love it if you could update to 1.1, since the unofficial update is pretty sketchy

I second that. I just found this mod, and even if u never update it, god bless you. this is a feature i cannot play without now

Here's the unofficial update for those seeking it:

As to OP, this has always been one of my favourite mods for Rimworld. Good work and even if you're not going to continue to support it I'm glad you made it available for others like myself to enjoy in the first place.

Could you please post it here?

V--- Please post on steam.

@cozzie Luziferium can fix this over time

@Cozzie: Yeah it's part of vanilla game as a rare item or the brain implant, or you can use mods that add more medical stuff.

Is there a way to cure Brain Damage?

1.1 anytime soon?

Thank you almjwgserm for linking that!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2013400235&searchtext=death+rattle I FOUND!

@Neptimus7 how do I download from github?

Somebody already made a fork: https://github.com/zach-hill/DeathRattle/releases

@Neptumus7 wouldn't the downloaded mod just work or is that just thinking too easily?

Is there no other mod that functions like this one does?

I'd try, but unfortunately I can't find any source code whatsoever. If somebody can find that I'll fork and fix.

@The Word-Mule
As every other user of your mod wants to know, any hope for an updated version? :)

We need an unofficial update. This mod hasn't even been updated since 2018. Anyone up to it? <3

Any unofficial update?

Arggg....you're killin' me!....literally! (Okay, I mean my pawns).

id love to see an update and if your not wanting to or its too much a hassle id love the informitive update to know it won't be coming, either way thank you for the countless sessions ive played with your mod to date, hope to play it in 1.1! or ill just every once in a bit revert to 1.0

update plz

Very impatient for an update, great mod!

Needs an update.

1.1

pls update this is one of the must have mods imho!

Update pls :)

Does it work in game

Yes but sometimes error messeges mean nothing

Done a few quick tests, I don't think this will work for 1.1 without - lots of error messages that did not exist before and suggest that the mod does not work
