Death Rattle

Description
This mod makes it so that people will no longer instantly die when their vital capacities reach zero. If one of your colonists has their liver destroyed by a charge lance, for instance, they will become severely ill and you will have a short window to get them a new liver before they die.

The time scales in this mod are not entirely realistic, because Rimworld's time scale makes it effectively impossible for a colonist to receive life-saving care in a realistic amount of time. Colonists move too slowly, and days pass too quickly, so the numbers have been fudged to make it difficult, but possible, to save someone if you have a donor organ on hand.

Be warned: Just because they survive, doesn't mean they won't suffer permanent brain injury as a result of their near-death experience.

Don't ask me about compatibility. It should be compatible with everything. Just try it, and let me know if it doesn't work, so I can fix it.

This mod would be so great with some basic customization. Like a slider for the time factor and an option to insta-kill after 3 organs are removed/destroyed (to keep vanilla balance).

Hello friends. As the previous mantainer troopersmith1 has given the go-ahead, I have updated Death Rattle to 1.4 found here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2879582925 .

I keep losing the 1.3 version in the sea of reuploads thank you for this.

Here's your 1.3 version. Its the same guy who updated it to 1.2 who you could literally have scrolled down a couple of messages to see. Its always worth searching the workshop to see if you can find updated versions of defunct mods

Any chance of an update?

Likewise, oxygen deprivation = no lungs/severely damaged neck, coma = 0 conciousness, acute renal failure= no kidneys, acute liver failure is obvious.
These all kill at different rates, and some can cause brain damage if allowed to become too severe. If you need to, cryptosleep them to buy yourself more time
