**'''Heart damage''' is accumulated by a heart being in a non-living host, reaching an inoperable state within 5 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 damage''' is accumulated by a heart being in a non-living host, reaching an inoperable state within 5 minutes in a corpse.

Cybernetic lungs have different benefits to normal lungs and can be modified with a crowbar to improve breathing, but this takes more oxygen. Cybernetic lungs also allow you to survive in low pressure environments, and filter out low levels of bad gasses. | **'''Replace the lungs''' in an emergency with a fresh or cybernetic pair.
