Proper Infected Wounds [B42]

Description
UPDATED FOR B42!
Dirty bandages are dangerous & can cause severe infections which make you sick, as it should be !
SP & MP compatible, safe to add to existing saves

How it works
You have a bandaged wound & your bandage gets dirty, now there's a chance it causes a serious wound infection and if you have it long enough itll make you sick.
This mod adds more chance to cause severe wound infection (on default settings) but you can still get one naturally which is significantly less severe
Traits 'Prone to Illness' & 'Slow healer' and their positive counterparts affect the damage & sickness gain as well!

Contains Sandbox options
So You can tune everything to your liking !
You can find them under 'Proper Infected Wounds'

Examples of how you can set it up :
Bandage damage only - Reminds you to change your dirty bandage !
Default with some damage on infected wound - Gives you a heads up before you get sick
Max infection chance & max damage on infected wound - If you really hate yourself

F.A.Q
I'm getting damaged and i can't see the infection !
If you have low first aid, you can't see less severe wound infections, so just disinfict and apply clean bandage
If this persists it might be a bug so please leave a comment below !

Damage from wound infections is inconsistent
Wound infection severity is taken into calculations of damage as well, so as mentioned above you can have a natural occuring infection that deals less damage than the one from this mod

I got sick even after i disinfected the wound !
The sickness lingers for a bit after the wound infection is gone, you can get rid of it faster by beeing well fed

I didn't get wound infection after long time with dirty bandage
That's the limitation of the game, it only allows one instance of wound infection per wound
Unless the wound gets renewed, in which case you can get wound infection again
(When youre bitten you have wound infection initially, unless you get wounded again in that part, you cant get any more)



I shall try & keep it updated, if something breaks please let me know !
This is my first mod, so it'd be a real help if you like it and use it in your playthroughs.
Good luck & enjoy !

I got shot in the stomache, pulled the bullet out, stiched the wound and after like 2 days bandage was dirty and wound got infected, I forgot to change them and desinfect my wound and went to sleep, I woke up with queasy moodlet all the wayto the max level and I died :flipsmile: is this supposed to happen or was it a bug?

This mod is fine and stuff until i get any neck wound. Then it's death no matter what, which makes this mod feel like cancer.

So i'm curious, how exactly does the option "Dirty bandied damage modifier" work? I have the option for them to do damage checked, and I bumped up that modifer I just bumped it up to 8.0, however my character isn't taking any damage from a laceration wound that currently has a dirty bandaid.

its not intented, but im unable to recreate it no matter what i try, unless you really didnt treat the wound or too late (which would be skill issue), also it would be reported multiple times before which it wasnt since the last update i made in january, updates after that didnt touch anything regarded internal code of infections nor sickness, so unless you got a mod that interacts with said things, cant help ya

It’s stupidly easy to recreate, any injuries that get infected will continue to cause sickness (and eventually death) even after they’ve fully healed. Unless you mean to say this is an intended feature, in which case that’s really silly

well, unless you give me the exact steps to recreate it i cant help you cause ive tried

Ah, yes “your mod has a bug”

“Skill issue”

@LUYLO you could do the same with boiled rags or just alcohol, but yes
And i dont have the specific numbers but from my experience the higher level, the sooner, its just the default game mechanic
antuk014  [author] May 9 @ 5:30am 
@shot of depresso i dont seem to have any issues, in my opinion the default seems too weak, so sounds like another skill issue, you have settings to set it up, use em ;)

@nooball you discovered next level of hardcore, good luck
