Opium addiction and health adjustments

[fallen shale]

I reckon they should add a feature where when you have opiate withdrawl the visual effects get cranked up to max rendering the game practically unplayable until the withdrawl wears off or until you take more opium and maybe the visual effects get worse the more addicted to opium you are so opium addictions and withdrawls are more of a feture than something that gives minor effects that you can just ignore. Maybe some players may find this annoying so perhaps it should be a toggleable feature that you can turn on and off in the lobby creation. By health adjustments I mean adding individual body part health and major consequenses (not just death) to having these injuries like maybe if your leg is slightly damaged you would have a bit of a limp or if one of your arms is slightly damaged it would be harder to use weapons or if both of your legs were severely damaged you would crawl along the ground (like the happy wheels damage system) I know the health one sounds ambiguous but I would love to see it in the game if its too much I hope I get to see the opium addiction one

Although I do think addiction should be more fleshed out

The other thing I dunno

[thorn nymph]

i think addiction being more is fun as long as its not overdone

like making it have up and downsides

like with opium you vomit everywhere on withdraw but as long as keep taking it you get a passive healing

chem addiciction could do something similar as downside but give you a minor speed buff

alcohol could have and addiction too but psychosis resistance is not that important personally

[drowsy wyvern]

i dont think it really should have upsides, as it is meant as punishment for having too low medical skill, so having it on purpose shouldnt be a thing you can desire

[thorn nymph]

i know but the upsides should be tiny so they are just a joke

but now that i think about it someoen would think its just weak and would complain about it

[drowsy wyvern]

yea

dont even let people think its a viable strategy to get addicted to substances

actually what is the game rated

well thats a lie

[thorn nymph]

looking at most mods its too low

[drowsy wyvern]

yea thats what im saying, even without mods, the possibilityes of warcrimes, mutilation, gore, drug abuse... should probably make it 18

but im not complaining

[thorn nymph]

i mean its not that goreful(if thats even a word)

[drowsy wyvern]

it is now, you can mutilate humans

[thorn nymph]

but i have seen worse in other games i think

and a 12 year old should be able to tell the difference

[drowsy wyvern]

you cant set the 2d sub sim on the same level as agony 2018

[thorn nymph]

i know

[karmic oriole]

but it should be viable, it would make it much more fun if that one friend could decide to be an opioid addict and be completely fine as long as he can keep stealing morphine

[drowsy wyvern]

no

it is a punishment

[karmic oriole]

also, yeah, 12 is a bit too low

[drowsy wyvern]

dont make it a reward

do not

especially since it wont work too long

as the freind would improve his medical skill

and then would no longer get addiction

so its just stupid to even beginn

do not make the bad thing good

[karmic oriole]

I don't need it to have buffs, but I very much like the idea that this guy has come up with

also, yeah, that is how addiction works, you build tolerence and need to start taking more to get high

[drowsy wyvern]

no

you get more proficient in using the substance and now you no longer fuck up and get high

thats how the game handels it

[karmic oriole]

I am pretty sure if you take enough you still get addicted

[drowsy wyvern]

yea but it wouldnt be worth it

please just beleave me that its a bad idea

[karmic oriole]

exactly, the point is for the funny

like I said, it doesn't need to have any buffs

just a proper addiction system, where as long as you are high you are fine, and then when it wears off you suffer

[drowsy wyvern]

yea thal be fine

[karmic oriole]

you know what, someone should make this a mod, since we all know these suggestions don't get read
