Choose Your Medicine

First things first: This mod is (heavily) inspired by Pharmacist by Fluffy and Smart Medicine by Uuugggg. So credits to both authors!

Clarification: In vanilla (and in this mod) you do not set which exact medicine should be used, but which MedicalCareCategory.
A MedicalCareCategory defines the best medicine allowed and includes any medicine that is worse.
I use both terms as synonyms, to keep the text/previews simple.


The mods aim is to reduce micro managing medicine to a minimum and to save higher quality medicines by using them only if necessary/wanted.

• New main tab gui: You can set which medicine to use at different (customizable) stages for each tendable hediff/disease.
  
  
  • There are different tabs for pawn categories, e.g. colonists, neutral faction, colony animals and so on.
    
    
  • Each pawn category contains all tendable hediffs, but it is possible to hide the ones that you feel should not be listed (e.g. animal flu in the colonists tab).
    
    
  • Hediffs are grouped by severity/immunity/total tend quality
    
    
  • It is possible to set the exact order of medicines a doctor should try to use (detailed view)
    
    
  • Possibility to refresh the hediffs list which will remove hediffs that are no longer in the game and add those that are not in the list yet (if you added/removed mods)
    
    
  • Settings are saved globally, not per savegame.
    
    
  • A small button at the top middle of the gui that opens the mods mods options.
    
    
  • Mod setting to not show the tab in the bottom bar. The mods gui can be opened from the mod settings page as well.
  
  
• Assign medicine in a pawns health tab: You can assign medicine to every tendable hediff of a pawn ("once" or "until hediff is gone") which then applies only for that specific pawn and that specific instance of the hediff and does not consider the gui/player settings.
  
  
• Operations: Specify which medicine may be used for operations and two additional options.
  
  
• Amount of medicine a colonist can carry: You can adjust the amount in the mod settings.

When using the mod for the first time you may want to check the list of hediffs in the gui and change the medicine for minor stuff, e.g. bruises, cracks, ...
Most of the default settings should work fine and it should be sufficient to change them from time to time if you notice that it would make sense.
So in theory you can set all your pawns to "use best medicine" and do not have to worry about microing or wasting good medicine.

If you use mods that add new medicines I recommend using Mod Medicine Patch by Aeon. I made sure both mods work together.


You can see the performance impact in one of the preview pictures.

The 30% increase for tendings may sound much, but as they happen really rare (compared to 60ticks/s) and are not that performance heavy at all, you should not notice the increase.

All in all you should not experience a noteable impact on performance. Please tell me if I am wrong (including the scenario), so I can investigate!


Please post reports in the "Bugs and issues" discussion.

• Most likely incompatible with mods that change the way the game defines which medicine should get used for tendings/operations/on caravans.
  E.g. "Pharmacist", "Smart Medicine"
  
  
• Mods that change the pawns health tab gui may cause a soft incompatibility so that it is not possible to assign medicine manually as the button does not appear.
  E.g. "Compact Hediffs". I do not use the mod, but I took a glance at their code to see what would be necessary for a patch.
  I think a patch on their side makes more sense and I will happily provide what is necessary if the author wants to make a patch.
  
  
• Built in compatibility for Mod Medicine Patch.

Should be absolutely no problem. You may get a red error after removing, which is harmless.
