Medical IVs

Medical IV's aims to further improve your healthcare quality by adding IV drips (Intraveneous Therapy). So far the mod adds 6 different IVs; a blood transfusion that reduces a colonist's bleed rate, a nutritional drip which pauses an immobile colonist's food need, a painkiller drip which numbs all of a colonist's pain, an antibiotic drip which improves a colonist's blood filtration and thus their immunity gain speed, an anesthetic drip which keeps a pawn in a medically induced coma and finally a glitterworld drip that combines the functionality of the painkiller, antibiotic and blood drip. Additionally, each drip will provide boosts to both medical tend quality and surgery success chance when placed adjacent to a hospital bed.

All of the IVs will function when placed adjacent to any bed or sleeping spot. They will provide the health benefits to all pawns that are in a bed and directly above, below, left or right of the IV but not if they're diagonal from it. The 6 drips are based on the Vitals Monitor and as such each machine should be placed adjacent to any hospital bed for the medical offsets to work - this means that tend quality and other bed quality benefits will only work for hospital beds.

- Should work with everything!
- Check out Zynmex's mod Hospital Extended here. It ties in nicely with this mod!

Can I make suggestions? Sure. As a matter of fact, I encourage it! I'd like to push my abilities whilst making the game as fun as possible.

Is there an impact on performance? Nope! It only updates every 80 ticks -- you should be absolutely fine as long as you don't have thousands of the IV drips on the map :)

Is it safe to add to existing saves? Yes, it should be absolutely fine to add to existing saves. Nothing has been edited, removed or changed that's related to Rimworld or any other mod.

How about removing it? I imagine it wouldn't cause significant issues but obviously be cautious of the fact that placing down objects and then removing the mod associated with those objects could be problematic. It's always best to remove the objects first before uninstalling.

Permissions? Don't reupload it anywhere and don't blatantly copy the code - feel free to make patches and compatibility edits (if needed).

How do I get blood bags? You can get blood bags by either drawing blood from colonists/prisoners or by growing bloodleaf, crushing it into a powder and then synthesising it into blood bags at a drug lab.

- Colonist's who are in extreme pain that causes them to become downed will sometimes get out of bed if they are under the influence of the painkiller drip. Once the effect wears off they will become downed again FIXED!

RimWorld 1.4 update (Rebalance)

- Updated to RimWorld 1.4
- Fixed the bug where colonists with painshock would be downed as soon as they stopped being treated by the Glitterworld IV (causing an infinite loop of downed -> rescue -> get up -> repeat)
- Improved the descriptions of many items
- Renamed 'IV Painkillers' to just 'Painkillers'
- Renamed 'IV Antibiotics' to just 'Antibiotics'
- Cleaned up the code
- Fixed a bunch of typos
- Significant rebalancing:
- Research cost has INCREASED across the board
- Power consumption has been DECREASED across the board
- Halved the market value of painkillers and antibiotics
- Balanced the ingredient cost of building each IV stand
- Glitterworld IV is now 'Ultra' tech level

A rebalance was needed to better incentivise the use of the refuelable IV stands over the electrical ones. With the increased research and ingredient cost, the electrical stands are now powerful late-game luxuries more inline with 'Spacer' technology as opposed to cheaty, unlimited versions of the default IVs you could unlock pretty quickly.

Feedback on these changes is welcome!
