Medieval Times Unofficial Update (1.1,1.2,1.3)
Cleanliness Debuff
Hi, enjoying the mod a lot. One thing I noticed is several items cause a cleanliness debuff. While coal soot, blood, and many low tech devices would frequently be dirty, it does bring up some gameplay considerations for me. Cleanliness is important for three things usually for me: 1) Medical Sanitation, 2) Food Prep Sanitation, and 3) Beauty. Using the medieval stuff (including lighting) debuffs these. While the roleplayer in me wants to use 100% lowtech medieval stuff, the gamer in me wants to min/max the numbers and minimize infections, food poisoning and mood breaks. The heart in conflict.

This is mostly a "me" problem. I could just not use the items, but then what's the point? I would rather use them but that brings up the debuff to be accommodated for. I'm not going to use sterile tiles or high-tech in my RP castle lol. What are your thoughts? Do you even notice it? Do you embrace the grime? Do you skip certain items and use the vanilla allegory? How OCD and crazy am I?
