![]() ![]() The same way you right-click on a hospital bed to make the pawn use it is the same way that this'll work. Radiotherapy will be done in the form of a 'usable bed'. What chemical would be used for IV chemotherapy? Would it be possible to manufacture in Rimworld? Not sure how we'd make it refuelable though. Of course expanding on cancer would, as you said, allow us to also add chemotherapy in the form of IV treatment. Might be a good idea to make carcinoma more common (as you said, it seems to be a rare thing) and possible to "catch" or rather develop over time. Could be better for compatibility and would require less patching and mucking around with game code. Same as the above but, obviously, carcinoma is kept within the game. ![]() Metastasis would be announced to the player via an in-game message (a yellow warning box like the "infection" warning).ī) Leave carcinoma's and their treatments but also add cancer too. This starts as something simple which can spread to adjacent body parts over time if left untreated. I can think of going down one of two routes:Ī) Remove carcinoma's and replace it with 'cancer'. In reality, the word "cancer" or even "carcinoma" is quite scary so maybe we should portray this better? I briefly tested this by giving a pawn a carcinoma in their torso and a surgeon (who wasn't even that great at Medicine IIRC) simply removed it without issue. Currently Rimworld offers a simple "Carcinoma" of a single body part that can be excised regardless of where it is. I definitely like the idea of making cancers have a greater effect on gameplay by allowing them to spread. Chemotherapy can also incorporate the IV system since chemotherapy treatments can be given intravenously. This would make chemotherapy viable as, unless you have a great surgeon, you might not want to risk doing many surgical procedures to remove all of the tumo(u)rs. After some time, the cancer would have a risk of spreading to another body part. If you're interested, I think the best way to expand upon the cancer ailment would be to introduce metastasis. Of course, chemotherapy can also have uncomfortable side effects like nausea. This is useful if the cancer has spread (metastasized). Radiation therapy also is usually used to target a specific area.Ĭhemotherapy is unique because, as a systemic treatment, it can target cancer cells throughout the body. Surgery IRL works best on localized cancer that hasn't spread, but often radiation or chemotherapy is done afterwards as well just to make sure all of it has been removed. I'm sure it's possible to rework cancer treatments and make them more diverse if you're interested. To be honest, I've never had carcinoma affect any of my pawns, so I don't know have any gameplay experience with it. It seems that, since Rimworld already allows for surgical treatment and medical treatment (it seems like medical treatment can reverse the cancer), there are already a couple of good ways to address the ailment. I don't have too much experience with cancer treatments.
