Surgery rework

Новая страница

All surgery requires a set of medical tools, typically found in the [[Operating Theatre]], along with an operating table.

= Surgical Tools =
[[Medical_items#Surgical_Tools|Information about most tools used in surgery can be found here.]]

==Surgery Speed and Failure==
While every operation has an intended tool, you are not limited to it alone. Every operation has a list of alternative tools you can use instead.
Beside each tool is a multiplier which indicates how much of a penalty to speed you are given for using the supplied tool.

These multipliers stack multiplicatively with those from operating site or chemicals (see [[#Beginning of any Operation|Beginning of any Operation]]). 

Note, speed penalty is capped to 2x the base time the step would have taken.
A step that takes 10 seconds would cap at 20 seconds, for example.

However, every second after that cap will instead add 1 percentage point into the odds of a failure.
Failing may cause extra damage or other effects.

So for example:
* Say a surgery step takes 10 seconds by default, but you use a pen (2.5x) instead of a hemostat and do it on the floor (2x) instead of a surgery table.
* Now the surgery is slowed to 50 seconds, but it's capped to 20 seconds.
* Those 30 extra seconds that were removed is now your chance to fail the operation.
* Result: The step takes 20 seconds and has a 30% chance to fail.

= The Operation Process =
Step 1: Undress the part of the patient that needs surgery. You can do this by dragging them onto yourself, and then clicking the clothes you want to remove from them in the pop-up. Alternatively, some clothes like jumpsuits can be adjusted out of the way, to save yourself some time.
* '''Important:''' The uniform the patient is wearing usually covers both legs, arms, groin and torso. Helmets, eyewear and masks always obscure the eyes, make sure to remove them if working on the eyes.

Step 2: [[File:Surgery table.png|Operating Table]] Place the patient onto the '''operating table'''. Do this doing a {{Grab}} on the patient. Then left click the operating table to place the patient on it. You can also {{Rightclick}} shove a person onto the table and tell them to rest, though they might not appreciate this.
* If there is no operating table, you can use: '''[[Machines#Lifeform_Stasis_Unit|Stasis bed]]''' (1.15x), '''any table''' (1.25x), '''any bed''' (1.5x), ask them to lie '''on the floor''' (2x). The [[#Surgery Speed and Failure|speed]] of completing every step will be reduced.

Step 2.1 [[File:LongIslandIcedTea.png|Ethanol]] (Optional) Splash on, spray or apply a patch with a reagent like [[Guide_to_chemistry#Miner's Salve|'''Miner's Salve''']] (0.9x), [[Guide_to_chemistry#Sterilizine|'''Sterilizine''']] 0.8x), [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Drinks|'''alcoholic drinks''']] (up to ~0.5x*), or [[Beekeeping#The_fruits_of_our_labour|'''Honey''']] (0.6x) for faster surgery speed.

*The stronger the alcohol, the more effective! The formula is: (booze power / 650). For example: Ethanol gives ~0.9x surgery speed, Manly Dorf ~0.85x, Bacchus' Blessing ~0.5x.

Step 2.2: [[File:N2Otank.png|Sleeping Agent]] (Optional) Use a '''tank of anesthetic''' and a '''breath mask''' to make your patient sleep. This way patient won't experience agonizing pain, decreasing its [[mood]].

Step 3: [[File:Drapes.png|Drapes]] [[File:Bedsheet.png|Bedsheet]] Place '''drapes''' or '''bedsheet''' over the part of body you are operating.
* If you done step 1 wrong, it will tell you that you must remove clothing first. If you continue without fixing, you will stab your patient instead of doing surgery.

Step 4: Turn off {{Combat_Mode}}. Pro tip: {{Rightclick}} will make you fail every surgery step on purpose.

Step 5: [[File:Hud-target.gif|Target]] '''Aim''' at the appropriate body part (important!).

Step 6: {{LeftclickCmodeoff}} [[File:Scalpel.png|Scalpel]] '''Begin surgery''' (see the steps below!).

To get to the operation you want to complete, it will require you get the patient to the necessary state*.
For example, an overwhelming majority of surgeries will require the patient's skin be opened first.
To open the skin you'll need to complete "Retract skin" first, and to be able to complete "Retract skin", you will need to "Make skin incision".
More complicated surgeries require more complicated states, such as sawing bones.

While a patient's undergoing surgery, they will slowly lose blood. Try not to dawdle!

* Note: Some patients you receive will be in a state already ready for suregry! Species like [[Plasmamen]] have no skin, so you have nothing to make an incision in. You can simply skip that step!

Step 7: '''Complete your surgery'''

After getting to the state required, you can do whatever operation you intended. Congratulations, you just did surgery! That wasn't so bad, right?

Step 7.5: Repeat!

Feel free to do any other operation while the patient is cut open. States don't automatically get cleared after you're done! You can save yourself a lot of time this way.

Step 8: '''Close the patient'''

After all is said and done, don't forget to cauterize or suture the operated bodypart! The patient will continue to bleed if you don't.

And you're done! Send the patient out with a lollipop and a smile.

= Operations =

What follows is a full list of every operation that you can undergo.

Green operations are mechanical surgeries and will only work on cybernetic patients.

Purple operations are locked - typically behind technology from science, but sometimes behind rare or traitorous surgical disks. They cannot be undergone without first being loaded into an operating computer.
