Acetrea Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 Currently, there is no distinction between whether an organ labeled as "severe - necrotic and decaying" can be fixed with an ATK and debrided using a scalpel or not. Sometimes, an organ that cannot be fixed like that can take in some organ regeneratives to get to the point where it can be fixed. It would be incredibly helpful to surgeons if there was a distinction on the scans between these three stages of necrosis, such as: Lightly Necrotic - can be healed with an ATK and debrided with a scalpel Heavily Necrotic - cannot be healed with ATK/scalpel BUT can be brought to "Lightly Necrotic" via organ regeneratives (peridaxon, adipemcina, pneumalin, etc) Necrotic and Decaying - cannot be healed with ATK/scalpel, cannot be helped with organ regens, and the only option here would be a transplant It has been brought up that the "Decaying" of "Necrotic and Decaying" is a misnomer if the organ can still be saved. 1
NM_ Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 My attempt to better utilize necrotic so it fits the distinction. Minor to Severe damage (currently in game) - Can be healed with an ATK or organ specific regeneratives. (Organ) Dying - Requires debriding the damaged tissue before proceeding with treatment. Necrotic/Necrosis - Cannot be saved by any means. Examples Scenario 1: Scan reads "Kidneys: Minor/Moderate/Severe damage." The surgeon can treat with an ATK or organ regenerative medication. Scenario 2: Scan reads "Kidneys: Dying". The surgeon can debride it with the scapel, acquiring the corresponding scarring based on severity (if any), then treat accordingly. Scenario 3: Scan reads "Kidneys: Necrotic". The surgeon has to acquire a replacement and remove the necrotic kidneys. If you want to consider it on a gradient: Minor through its range to Severe damage (treatable with an ATK) -> Organ Dying (needs to be debrided to save it) -> Necrotic (completely gone) 2
NM_ Posted September 14, 2023 Posted September 14, 2023 Reviving this so it doesn't get forgotten. Although niche, it would help quite a bit.
wowzewow Posted September 15, 2023 Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) Good idea, I'd just change the naming convention to be more literal. Minor/Severe Damage > Necrotic; Debridable > Necrotic; Dying Also, I don't really think this is a policy suggestion, it's more of a mechanical one on how body scans work.
