Damage Indicators [1.5]

Ish. Individual injuries can kill colonists, if they are to vital parts (ex. if a colonist's heart, neck, head, brain, liver, both lungs, etc gets destroyed, they just instantly die). However, the game is also set up where if a colonist gains a total of 150 points of damage in active injuries across all of their body parts, even if no vital organs are destroyed, they instantly die from massive damage.

However, for the purposes of this mod, that's largely irrelevant. Each body part has an HP value, and each attack deals a specific amount of damage to the part or parts it hits. If the total damage, across all injuries and scars, on a specific part reaches or exceeds that part's HP, that part is destroyed. The damage indicators reflect this. That's why you get things like Lancers shooting people's arms off, because the unmitigated damage from a Charge Lance exceeds the HP of nearly every body part a pawn has.

Don't colonists die from injuries rather than "Damage"?
I thought they don't have like "100 out of 100" health.

@Mad Dog Peter It's only related to the amount of damage.

What do the different colors mean? Type of damage or simply the amount of damage?

I am fascinated by the fact that 1.5 broke mod that pops up numbers when damage is done.

How is this still now in the base game?

Thank you

Hello, Rimworld will pick the binaries with the closest inferior or equal version number so 1.4. It's the same for older versions : Rimworld 1.3 will pick the binaries from 1.1 folder and so on...

Hey there, I noticed the 1.5 binaries are absent from the mod files even though it's marked as 1.5 compatible. Resubscribing did not change anything.

Issue is resolved, thanks.
