Better Health Tab Forked

All Credit goes to goes to Ryan for the original mod Better Health Tab and this will only remain up while permission is given.

This is only a recompile to add compatibility for rimworld v1.5 as I was sick of not having a working search bar for the health tab. No other changes have been made.


This mod is a complete replacement for the existing health tab. It was redesigned with usability, quality of life, performance, and custom fonts/scales in mind. Everything you see in the screenshots is done entirely by the mod itself. Dub's Mint Menus and Compact Hediffs were large inspirations for the UI design in this mod, but they are not needed to enable any of the features you see.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of features the mod contains:

• Dynamic scaling
  Several UI components will automatically scale up/down to take up exactly the amount of space they need to display, whereas elements that were overly large in the vanilla UI would simply get cut off.
• Hediff Sorting
  Hediffs are consistently, and automatically sorted following a series of in-depth rules, to make it easier for users to compare installed implants on pawns. In contrast, the vanilla UI simply displays them in the order the pawn acquires them.
• Searching
  Users can use the search bar to narrow down results on their bionic monsters, rather than dig through a tall list of samey implants.
• Performance
  Great care has been given to ensure the absolute minimum amount of processing required is done on each frame. As such, users can expect this mod to greatly outperform the vanilla health tab.
• Progress bars
  Most hediffs which have a limited duration or tick down have been given progress bars so users can know at a glance how much longer a given hediff has left.

This mod completely replaces the vanilla health tab. As a result, it is not compatible (but also not incompatible) with mods that modify the vanilla health tab. Those mods will need integration patches to be written in order for their health tab functionality to show up in this mod. This does not mean Better Health Tab will throw errors, or otherwise break your save if you use it with an incompatible mod, it just means any health tab modifications other mods make will not be reflected with this mod installed. Please let me know if you run across any such mods in your expansive load orders.
