Organ damage occurs regularly in decaying bodies, and irregularly in living ones under specific conditions. There are five main internal organs of note: the heart, the brain, the lungs, the liver, the stomach, and the appendix. Organs all have 100 health, which decays at a set amount in dead bodies per second, and regenerates a variable amount of health in living, well fed, bodies. A brief description of each organ, including their function, what damage does to them, and how to fix said damage, is as follows: | Organ damage occurs regularly in decaying bodies, and irregularly in living ones under specific conditions. There are five main internal organs of note: the heart, the brain, the lungs, the liver, the stomach, and the appendix. Organs all have 100 health, which decays at a set amount in dead bodies per second, and regenerates a variable amount of health in living, well fed, bodies. A brief description of each organ, including their function, what damage does to them, and how to fix said damage, is as follows: | ||
* | * '''Heart:'''[[File:Heart.png|50px]]This organ is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body, and it is the target of [[Medical_Doctor#The_Spark_of_Life|defibrillation]]. | ||
**'''Heart damage''' is accumulated by a heart being in a non-living host, reaching an inoperable state within 3 minutes in a corpse. After a particular threshold of heart damage is taken, the heart is considered ''damaged'' - this will cause shortness of breath, and if the organ is damaged to the point of ''failure'', it can cause heart attacks, which will rapidly result in death unless defibrillation is applied with haste. | |||
**'''Heart attacks''' can be prevented with [[Guide_to_chemistry#Corazone|Corazone]]s, but it will not heal the underlying heart damage. In the case of a need for immediate emergency heart healing, a [[Surgery#Coronary_Bypass|coronary bypass]] can be done, but a heart can only have this done ''once'' to it, and it will bring it back from failing to functional. | |||
**'''Replace the heart''' in an emergency with a fresh or cybernetic heart. Cybernetic hearts have different benefits to a normal heart. A cybernetic heart grants [[Guide_to_chemistry#Epinephrine|epinephrine]] and an upgraded cybernetic heart grants [[Guide_to_chemistry#Atropine|atropine]]. | |||
* | * '''Lungs:'''[[File:Lungs.png|50px]]This pair of organs is responsible for oxygenating blood, and promoting typical respiration. | ||
**'''Lung damage''' is currently only accumulated via them being inside a decaying corpse, and ''damaged'' lungs will create shortness of breath and heightened oxygen consumption, similar to a damaged heart. | |||
**'''Failing lungs''' will be unable to respirate properly, causing suffocation. In the case of a need for immediate emergency lung healing, a [[Surgery#Lobectomy|Lobectomy]] can be done, but a pair of lungs can only have this done ''once'', and it will bring them back from failing to functional. | |||
**'''Replace the lungs''' in an emergency with a fresh or cybernetic pair. Cybernetic lungs have different benefits to normal lungs. Cybernetic lungs allow you to survive in low pressure environments, and filter out low levels of bad gasses. | |||
* | * '''Brain:'''[[File:Brain.png|50px]]This organ is responsible for piloting the bundle of flesh and bone that is your corporeal body. | ||
**'''Brain damage''' is accumulated through a number of means, from taking dangerous narcotics, to being beaten on the head with weapons. | |||
**'''Mental Traumas''' can form due to too much brain damage, which can be identified and combated as detailed in this guide. Brains have 200 organ health and decay much slower than other organs for balance reasons. | |||
* | * '''Stomach:'''[[File:Stomach.png|50px]]This organ is responsible for processing any orally ingested substances. | ||
**'''Stomach damage''' is currently only accumulated via it being inside a decaying corpse, and a damaged stomach will cause vomiting and paint, while a failing one will prevent digestion altogether. It is only repairable through a nutritious diet, so be sure to keep it healthy so you can continue eating and digesting! | |||
* | * '''Appendix:'''[[File:Appendix.png|50px]]This organ is all but entirely vestigial, and served no real purpose. The appendix is prone to suddenly becoming inflamed, which will cause large amounts of discomfort and vomiting, and if left untreated, will cause severe damage to the appendix, which will flood your system with toxins when failing. This organ be removed preemptively with no ill effects! | ||
* '''Liver:'''[[File:Liver.png|50px]]This organ is responsible for preventing toxin buildup and can purge toxins quickly under 3u. Too many toxins will prevent the liver from working correctly. | |||
**'''Liver damage''' can be fixed by replacing the liver with a fresh or cybernetic pair. Cybernetic liver has different benefits to normal liver. It is resistant to alcohol poisoning and is very robust at filtering toxins. | |||
