Adds a craftable herbal salve that suppresses pain from permanent scars without healing the underlying injury.

Adds a craftable herbal salve that suppresses pain from permanent scars without healing the underlying injury. It can be applied via surgery by any doctor, targeting external body parts including eyes. Works on colonists and animals.

Crafting

Ingredients: 8x herbal medicine, 12x psychoid leaves
Crafted at: Campfire or Drug lab
Skill required: Cooking 3
Research required: Psychoid brewing

Effects

While the salve takes effect, the pawn experiences psychoactive disorientation, reduced consciousness, and occasional vomiting. Once it wears off, the treated scar is permanently painless.

Balance

Pain from scars causes a permanent mood penalty, starting at -5 even for minor injuries. This mod gives you a way to address that. This makes the salve a powerful remedy, even though it cannot actually heal the scar. For balance, the salve costs a significant amount of herbs and psychoid leaves.

Compatibility

Combat Extended → compatible

This mod only changes the pain category of existing wounds (hediffs) to painless and therefore should work with most mods. Let me know if you find issues.
