Surgery thread

[Arborinus]

What if each type of surgery had its own tool or set of tools, like how eye surgery was added? Brain and butt surgery would keep scalpel saw but more complicated surgeries would require more delicate tools.


The end product would be a big tray table of intricate and dangerous looking blades, pliers, drills and whatnot with funny use messages for people to experiment with, and maybe some could have the same or interchangeable functions. There would be room for trial and error without completely shutting out pubbies.

I still think this is the way it should be done, and seems like it's much simpler to code than creating a whole new surgery system.

You know those randomized keys you sometimes get as an heirloom? In the code there's a system that generates the keys based on ring, shaft and teeth and gives them a weird name.

What if there was something like that for surgery tools? Generate a random sprite each time and assign a certain function only MDs could see on examination. I could probably sprite "tool pieces" like how the keys are.

I'm not saying they should replace the normal tools but they would fit the feel the game. "Nurse, hand me the Discount Dan Forluxator Mammoccluder™!"
