Mod Mechanics

Wellness

In the Kanga Medical mod the player has an overall Wellness Stat. This stat basically represents how well your immune system is functioning: the higher your Wellness Stat, the lower the chance you’ll get an illness, and vice versa. When your Wellness Stat is low, this still does not mean you will get an illness by default, you just have a bigger chance to get an illness at that point. You can check your overall Wellness Stat at any given time, by pressing H.

The Wellness Stat is a combination of 8 different sub stats. There are several mechanics that can make a sub stat drop, and some simply drop over time:

• Fatigue: drops over time, and drops faster at night.
• External Damage: several types of damage
• Internal Damage: several types of damage
• Skeletal Structure: several types of damage
• Mental Status: drops over time
• Respiratory systems: several types of damage, drowning, poisonous gas cloud
• Circulatory: several types of damage
• Cardio: several types of damage
• Optical: several types of damage, blinding (e.g. dilo spit)

These sub stats can only be revealed by doing a medical checkup (performed by the apothecary on the medical cot). By doing so you are able to view your sub stats (give it a few seconds to load and press H) for a short amount of time, so you can determine which stats you need to fix. The exception is the Fatigue Stat, which you can consult at any given time.

The apothecary can craft syrups for every sub stat to get them back up to 80%. If your stat is higher than 80% the syrup will not have an effect. To get your sub stats back up to 100% you need to visit and apothecary and have him perform the appropriate surgery. For the Fatigue Stat you just need to sleep in a bed to get the stat back up. Internal and External Damage can also be fixed to a certain amount by using bandages and first aid kits. When you fix your sub stats, your overall Wellness Stat will automatically be recalculated.

Surgery

To get your Wellness substats back up to 100%, you need to have an apothecary perform the appropriate surgery. These are done on the medical cot and require the corresponding work order. The player can also ask the apothecary to perform several surgeries to get certain buffs to the player. After a surgery you will need to recover from the procedure. The recovery time is dependent on the type of surgery.

Available surgeries:

• blood transfusion: brings your Circulatory stat back up to 100%.
• bone marrow transplant: brings your Skeletal stat back up to 100%.
• frontal lobotomy: mindwipe
• optical replacement: brings your Optical stat back up to 100%.
• organ transplant: brings your Internal stat back up to 100%.
• troodon vision: nightvision for 5 ark nights. The nightvision automatically kicks in at night. During the day you will have normal sight.
