Surgery thread

[Mordent]

yeah you gotta account for your average pubbie who's never played here/or as doctor before 

who gives a rats ass about immersion, just make it simple enough for the average rando to pick up so you aren't screwed when you don't see a regular in medbay that round

I guess looking at the wiki to see something that is basically just a sequence of clicks is too hard, and if you have just joined you should not play medical doctor anyway.

In all honesty, surgery is generally not overly time-sensitive (a few exceptions, like cutting out a headspider). Being able to follow the wiki instructions (which are mostly trivial to memorise after a few goes) is not hard. Having a GUI will not improve new doctors.

If they don't know "scalpel-saw-scalpel" to remove a limb, then they'll be looking at the wiki. Having a GUI here will not improve this.

Also, re: "who gives a rats ass about immersion", probably most of the LLJK1 players.

I'd be okay with a list popup solely for the whole "digging things that were planted into a patient out" step (namely open hand after they're cut open), as standard surgery wouldn't use it and selecting one thing out of potentially multiple things inside them is not do-able without some sort of extra interface.
