Lots of useful changes to make health system more enjoyable, realistic and challenging while keeping it close to vanilla and simple.

Notable changes:

  • Blood loss and oxygen deprivation will slow down as they get severe. Its subtle though. Massive bleeding will still kill you quickly.
  • Internal damage and burns heal very slowly on its own.
  • Many afflictions are less visible to you and others unless they get severe, especially poisons and husk infection. There won't be a giant icon visible soon after you get infected. Find help before its too late!
  • CPR is less likely to revive instantly even for highly skilled medic and is more about slowly increasing the oxygen level or sustaining it if your medical skill is low.
  • Stabilozine again helps a bit with oxygen deprivation but less with poisons.
  • Blood packs help a bit with getting rid of poisons.
  • Liquid Oxygenite is a bit more effective.
  • Alcohol is a minor painkiller, but severe use will cause some organ damage.
  • Opiate withdrawal disguises itself as a recurring pain.

Let me know if you have any issues or ideas.

UPDATE: Nerf to Vigor (Anabolic Steroids) has been removed as vanilla already does it since 'Among the Ancients' update.
