Mod summary
The Kanga Medical mod aims to give more meaning to Ark’s death mechanics. Death will be something you’ll want to avoid, as it will cost you xp. You can get (part of) it back, but you will have to make some preparations first in order to do so. Wounds and illnesses will not be cured by death anymore. It is important to be well prepared. The Kanga Medical mod also introduces up to 30 different illnesses. Some of those will cure themselves over time, others will require bedrest, elixirs or surgery. Illnesses are level based and either triggered by being near a certain tamed dinos or structure (e.g. compost bin), or occur randomly. All illnesses add visual effects that gradually get worse until the illness is cured. 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. 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. This mod adds a significant amount of challenge to your game. Using the mods mechanics to prepare in advance (before death/ getting sick) is an important thing to keep in mind.
