Space Station 13/List of guides/Medicine

	This is actually... helpful? You can read this for more info about the topic

This is the Medical Guide for Space Station 13. It will cover any and all information regarding Healing in Sharty Station 13. This includes Medical Items, Damage Types, Wounds, Surgery, Revival and Brain Traumas. This does, however, NOT include chemistry, check the spreadsheet on the guides page if you need to learn how to make certain chemicals, although certain chemicals will indeed be mentioned if applicable. In addition, the pathology systems will not be mentioned, although there may be disease mentions. The systems here are only applicable to humans (including other species). Simplemobs may be healed using manual medicine like sutures to heal any damage for each use. They do not simulate any more complicated medical systems.

If you don't play medical, then you probably won't have to read much of this. Just know that Sutures and Regenerative Meshes are usually all you'll need. Don't be afraid to ask other players about how to fix yourself or other players.

Diagnosis

Examine

You can usually see what's wrong with a patient by examining them. This displays wounds, brute and burn damage.

Health Scanner

As a medical doctor, you SHOULD have a medical analyzer on your body at all times. Your PDA has one too! Whip this out and use it on someone to see a summary of their condition. As a medical professional, your PDA also has a built in Health Analyzer, just make sure to activate it before use. The results are broken up into sections:

• Overall health percentage
• Damage of each basic type
• Blood Type and level
• Medical ID
• Brain damage
• Brain Traumas
• Organ damage
• Body Temperature
• Infection and cure (only appears if there is one and it isn't stealthy)
• Wounds

Has two modes toggled by activating it in hand:

• A health scan which is described above.
• A wound scanner which checks for special wounds and tells you how to treat them.

A chemical scan which shows current reagents in the patient and if they are overdosing or addicted.

Advanced health scanner

These are the better health scanners that can see a bit more then the regular ones.

• It can display the stamina level
• It can display the radiation level
• It can show if a person is hallucinating or not
• It can display if a person is deaf or not, and if it was a result of trauma or from genetics
• It can display if a person is blind or not, and if it was a result of trauma or from genetics
• It can display more advanced virus statistics (transmission levels, severity levels, etc.)
• It can display blood levels
• It can display genetic stability

i <3 tables

Item	Healing	Wound healing	Where to Obtain	Notes
Suture	10 Brute	Decently heals pierce + cut	All around medical, basic medkits, medical vendors.. the brute baseline.	Since these are tiny, it is recommended to carry a stack (10) in your box for emergency healing.
Regenerative Mesh	10 Burn	Decently heals burns	All around medical, basic medkits, medical vendors.. the burn baseline.	Since these are tiny, it is recommended to carry a stack (15) in your box for emergency healing.
Medical Gauze	None	Stops wound progression temporarily/stops bleeding temporarily, splints	All around medical, basic medkits, medical vendors.. the bandage baseline.	Since these are tiny, it is recommended to carry a stack (12) in your box for emergency healing.
Improvized Gauze	None	Same as medical gauze, just worse	There is no reason to ever use these geg why care	Can be crafted with cloth. You can get cloth by cutting up bedsheets.. or regular gauze.
Emergency Suture	5 Brute	Heals Wounds and not much else	Emergency Medkits	You should probably just carry normal sutures around.
Bottom: emergency first-aid autoinjector. Top: epinephrine medipen.	Stabilises in crit by healing everything, especially oxygen	These contain clotting agents. The epinephrine epipen contains formaldehydrate, which stops bodies from experiencing organ rot, aka decomposition. The emergency epipen contains Spaceacillin, which slows burn wounds from infecting (and viruses from progressing).	Every regular medkit, your bag's box, oxygen medkits, the emergency one from Emergency Medkits	Always get a new pen if you use yours! You can print a refiller at the medical
Wound Analyzer	Hurts you if you use it in hand too much. Geg.	Speeds up the usage of medical items on wounds tremendously. Nophono ever uses this. But they should. Because it's OP.	Emergency medkits, miners get one in their box (even doe lavaland monsters dont wound geg)	PLEASE GRAB ONE THEY'RE TINY AND OP
Painkiller Pens	None. Well, you can make someone fall asleep if you hit em with enough morphine, Defensively, right? Right?	They stop pain, meaning you can run at full speed when hurt. Also let you do DIY bone healing.	Burn medkits, Brute Medkits, Basic Medkits	Nothingburgers
Left: aiuri patch, Right: libital patch	Brute and Burn Respectively	Heal over time, heal wounds, get removed if you're burnt or when they're done.	Brute/Burn medkits	Better than sutures because these heal the whole body due to being chemicals
Top: salicylic acid Bottom: oxandrolone	Brute and Burn respectively. Heal more the more injured you are.	Heal rapidly over a short time. Unsure if they heal wounds. Quick and useful!	Brute/Burn medkits	Objectively the best healing items you can get roundstart
Left: Hercuri, Right: Probital	Burn and Brute respectively. Gimmicky.	Hercuri cools down the body to a dangerous degree but it heals some burn. Great for walking through plasmafires or straight up murdering lizardpeople! Probital heals brute when you eat food. Eat the food before you do this.. and after, too!	Brute/Burn medkits	Rarely see use
Multiver	Toxin	Heals toxin better the more meds are in a person. Purges toxins. Deals a bit of lung damage if there are no other meds.	Toxin Treatment Medkits	You're just gonna use the pentetic pen anyways.
Syriniver	Toxin	Best known for overdosing. Inject only once every so often.	Toxin Treatment Medkits	Best known for once being the best organ damage overdose in the game.
Pentetic Acid	Toxin, Rads	Best known for being useless because you decided to use other meds in addition to it. MASSIVELY heals toxin and removes rads. Purges every chem.	Toxin Treatment Medkits	Also found in pill form in advanced medkits!
Potassium Iodine	Rads	Removes rad poisoning. That's it.	Toxin Treatment Medkits	Best known for having the easiest chemical recipe ever. Also, can't OD!
Disease State Analyzer	None	Lets you scan for diseases in people.That's it.	Toxin Treatment Medkits	Best known for being useless.
Convermol	Oxygen	Restores 2 oxygen per tick but deals 1 toxin per oxygen damage healed.	Oxygen Deprivation Treatment Medkits	Best known for being ignored
Salbutamol	Oxygen	Restores enough oxygen damage to not need to breathe. At all.	Oxygen Deprivation Treatment Medkits	Best known for being useful
Iron Pills	Bloodloss	Assist blood regeneration. 1 pill should be fine, you don't need to take more then 1 unless you look like a squished up juice box. Don't be a SLF.	Oxygen Deprivation Treatment Medkits, Emergency Medkits	Best known for not having an OD threshold.
Synthflesh Patch	Greatly heals Brute and Burn, deals Tox.	Amazing medicine. Usually found alongside the best tox medicine available.	Advanced Medkits	Objectively the best healing patch
Atropine	Greatly heals in Crit	Objectively better than Epinephrine in every single way. These pens also contain bloodclotting agents!	Advanced Medkits	Stacks with Epinephrine
Bruise pack	40 Brute	The Unc version of sutures - Relatively rare (i think ive never seen them in game, probably replaced by the new "brute packs"). Heals well.	Medbay	Rarely see use
Ointment	5 burn	The Unc version of regenerative meshes. Help to heal anything up to 2nd degree burns, afterwards.. somewhat less.	Emergency Medkits	Rarely see use

Damage Types

There are four primary kinds of damage: Brute, Burn, Toxin, and Suffocation.

These damage types have first aid kits associated with them and are therefore treatable without needing further medical equipment. The standard white-and-blue first aid kit has materials to treat Brute, Burn, and Bleeding. There are also additional kinds of damage that occur less often: Cellular, Organ damage/Brain damage, Wounds and Bleeding.

The overall health status (from 100% to -100%, yes, a human has 200 HP) is determined by adding the raw Brute, Burn, Toxin and Suffocation damages together. If there are 0 damages, the patient is perfectly healthy (100%). You may see this raw damage number on medical huds. Being perfectly healthy does NOT mean you are wound-free, but you are likely about to be either wound-free or no longer perfectly healthy.

Brute

BRUTE is the most common: it's caused by being hit with physical weapons, pressure or lack thereof, explosions, acid, surgery, and so on.

BRUTE can cause bone or BLEEDING WOUNDs.

Enough brute damage on a singular limb can delimb/disembowel you.

Treatment

See Space Station 13/List of guides/Medicine#Medicine 2

• Saline-glucose solution heals BRUTE slowly.
• Cryoxadone in a cryotube or a very cold environment heal most types of damage, including BRUTE. Alternatively, a sleeping patient in the cold can also benefit from cryoxadone
• Food can heal BRUTE slowly.
• Milk, bilk, soy milk, soy latte, cafe latte, and cream can heal it very slowly.
• Libital patches (BRUTE patches) will heal BRUTE pretty fast but don't use it too often on the same patient, due to long term side effects.
• Helbital should only be used in emergency situations on people with multiple damage types.
• There are some job-specific ways of healing it: Donuts heal security, bananas and banana juice heal clowns and monkeys, "nothing" in mime's bottle of nothing heals mimes.

Burn

The second most common damage, BURN is usually dealt by extremes of temperature or energy, such as lasers, hot weapons like welding tools, electric shocks, explosions, fire, hypothermia, and other such effects, see below.

BURN can cause BURN WOUNDs, and corpses affected by enough BURN become husks, becoming hard to identify.

• Temperatures too high or too low cause BURN. That includes coldness of space and being set on fire.
• Lasers deal BURN.
• Some chemicals deal BURN.
• Electric shocks deal BURN.

Treatment

See Space Station 13/List of guides/Medicine#Medicine 2

• Oxandrolone heals BURN over time, and is more effective on severe burns.
• Saline-glucose solution heals BURN slowly.
• Cryoxadone in a cryotube or a very cold environment heal most types of damage, including BURN. Alternatively, a sleeping patient in the cold can also benefit from cryoxadone
• Tomato juice can heal it very slowly.
• Aiuri patches (BURN patches) will heal BURN pretty well but don't use it too often on the same patient, due to long term side effects.
• There are some job-specific ways of healing it: Donuts heal security, bananas and banana juice heal clowns and monkeys, "nothing" in mime's bottle of nothing heals mimes.

Toxin

The least common (normal) damage is TOX. It's caused mainly by, obviously, toxins, and miscellaneous poisoning. Ethereal starvation, certain gasses, and infection can all cause TOX.

Unlike BRUTE or BURN, TOX leaves no physical marks, making it invisible to bystanders examining you unless they have the Empath quirk. It can still be detected by using a Health Analyzer. You can't directly detect the presence of on yourself without one either, but you can usually tell by checking the health bar on the health scanner HUD, the still visible damage overlay and health icon, or from the fact that you are slowed down without being hurt in other ways.

• Breathing plasma deals TOX.
• Many chemicals deal TOX.
• Drinking a lot of alcohol can hurt your liver and deal TOX.
• A severely damaged or missing liver will deal TOX. Liver failure will also prevent the patient from processing most reagents.
• High doses of radiation deal TOX.
• Mind the difference between chemical named Toxin and TOX.

Treatment

See Space Station 13/List of guides/Medicine#Medicine 2

• Lime juice, tea, iced tea can slowly heal it.
• Vomiting heals some TOX. You usually can't control it, however you can induce vomiting with a stomach pump.
• If patient has a failing liver, a liver transplant will stop the TOX caused by that liver, and will allow chemicals to work in the body.

Suffocation

Suffocation, aka OXY, is taken when not breathing, when unable to breathe, or when otherwise asphyxiating, such as from strangulation or the effects of certain poisons.

OXY, unlike other forms of damage, will heal quickly over time if you're breathing, making it generally not too threatening on its own. However, it still counts as normal damage when calculating crit and death, so continued lack of breathing will still end up being lethal. If you take 50 or more OXY, you pass out.

Treatment

See Space Station 13/List of guides/Medicine#Medicine 2

• If a person is in crit, you can CPR them. Remove your and patient's mask and helmet, turn off Combat Mode and click on them.
• If a person is not in critical condition, and they have no bad chemicals in their bloodstream, placing them in an oxygen-filled area will suffice.
• Epinephrine stops the OXY that is dealt from being in a crit state.
• Salbutamol quickly treats OXY.
• Convermol very quickly heals OXY, but deals a lot of TOX.
• Cryoxadone in a cryotube heal most types of damage, including OXY. Alternatively, a sleeping patient in the cold can also benefit from cryoxadone
• Orange juice isn't the most effective cure, but it does help a bit when no other options are available
• If a person is missing a heart, replace their heart or give them Cordiolis Hepatico.
• If a person's heart is unstable, use a defibrillator and their heart should return to normal. Other electric shocks might be able to restore their heartbeat, at the risk of burn.

Bleeding

Most humanoids have BLOOD. The base amount is 560u, which generally remains at that level. BLOOD can be drawn and injected with syringes and IV drips, can be lost from BLEEDING WOUNDs and regenerated through chemicals. BLOOD regenerates slowly over time, and regenerates faster the better fed you are. Water, iron, and nutriment are easy ways to restore lost BLOOD.

Treating Bloodloss

Take Iron (chemical), or receive your matching blood from below. To ID your blood type, remember which blood you have from your character creation or scan yourself (or the patient) with a advanced medical scanner.

Transfusions and Donating blood

There are also blood types, which follow the general real world rules. Lizardpeople have a special bloodtype, marked L, which can only receive from and donate to the L blood type. Ethereals have liquid electricity as their BLOOD, and can only give and receive that type. Plasmamen have no blood. See the table below to see which blood types can receive which. Transfusing an incompatible blood type will add 0.5 units of Toxin to the patient per unit transfused.

hi		Donor
		A+	A-	B+	B-	AB+	AB-	0+	0-	L
Receiver	A+	Y	Y	N	N	N	N	Y	Y	N

To donate blood, one must gain an empty IV and right click themself/the patient.

Organ Damage

Organ damage will cause side-effects as they reach thresholds, which will alert the owner when passed. If an organ shows up as "non-functional", that means its failing, and will not work, and will cause some life-threatening ailments depending on which organ it is. There is currently no way to see the exact damage of each organ, but for the most part they function on low-threshold, high-threshold, and failing, which will show up as "mildly damaged", "severely damaged", and "non-functional" lists when you scan someone with a medical scanner. Note that all the listed organs decay over time, which is the most common way they'll get damaged- but synthetic organs do not! The best way to avoid any of these side-effects is to replace your fleshy organs for metallic ones, though these too come with downsides in the form of EMP vulnerability.

Causes

• Flashes, bright objects (welders) and sharp objects in the eyes (eyes)
• Loud noises (ears)
• Appendicitis (appendix)
• Not breathing (lungs)
• Pretty sure there's some foods that fuck your heart up i dont remember that well or however the space station is thirteened
• Otherwise, an organ that's not in a living body (thus is on the ground or in a dead body) will decay if not held in a freezer, fridge, morgue unit, or organ smartfridge. Organs will go from perfectly healthy to broken in about 13-17 minutes, except for hearts, which will decay completely in about 6 minutes, and brains, which will decay completely in 30 minutes.

Treatment

• A coronary bypass can be performed on a heart that's decayed past 60 damage, and restores functionality. Good for getting a heart that's too damaged to defib to work again.
• A lobectomy will do the same as above but for the lungs, which will scarce occur due to their decay timer, but it's still an option.
• Oculine will rapidly fix damaged eyes, clearing any shortsightedness/blindness caused by damage.
• Inacusiate will immediately fix damaged ears to a perfect state.
• Otherwise, time and health will fix most organs (not the brain!). The healthier you are, the faster this rate goes, with a base rate of around half an hour for an organ to go from max damage to perfectly healthy. Taking vitamins increases your health, and thus increases this rate, so eat smart!

Consequences

• Damaged ears will occasionally flare up with tinnitus, causing very brief deafness, with increasingly frequent bouts until the ears are non-functional, at which point you become deaf.
• Damaged eyes will grow increasingly short-sighted, until finally becoming blind when non-functional.
• Damaged lungs will make you cough, increase the rate at which you breath by 25% and will collapse if non-functional, causing rapid OXY. Life-threatening!
• A non-functional appendix will burst, causing TOX until the organ is removed. Life-threatening!
• A damaged heart will increase the rate at which you breath by 25%, and will cease when non-functional, causing immediate heart attack. Life-threatening!
• A damaged stomach will be unable to hold nutriment and food down as easily, causing vomiting depending on the amount of food consumed and the damage of the stomach. A non-functional stomach makes you unable to eat or drink.

Organ Table

Organs	Decay time	Damage effects	Non-functional/broken effects	Treatment
Heart	6 minutes	Expends oxygen faster by increasing breathing rate.	Heart attack. The patient will fall unconscious and rapidly take OXY and BRUTE until death. A broken heart stops defibrillation from working when dead.	Coronary bypass or replacing the heart with surgery. Heart attack is treatable with defibrillation unless the heart is broken.
Liver	15 minutes	TOX and lower toxin purge threshold.	Rapid TOX and chemicals are no longer processed.	Higadrite and/or replacing the liver with surgery.
Lungs	16.5 minutes	Coughing and expends oxygen faster by increasing breathing rate.	Prevents breathing, leading to rapid death from OXY.	Lobectomy or replacing the lungs with surgery.
Appendix	15 minutes	Nothing.	It bursts, causing TOX until the organ is removed.	Removing the appendix with surgery.
Stomach	13 minutes	Causing vomiting depending on the amount of food consumed and the damage of the stomach.	Can't eat or drink, or ingest reagents from pills.	Replacing the stomach with surgery.
Eyes	15 minutes	Worsening eyesight until fully blind.	Blindness.	Oculine or eye surgery.
Ears	15 minutes	Worsening occasional tinnitus, causing very brief deafness.	Deafness.	Inacusiate.
Brain	30 minutes	See Brain damage.	Death.	See Brain damage.

Brain Damage

Randomly causes brain traumas and other problems. If a brain reaches 0% health, the person dies. To be able to see exact brain health you can use an advanced health analyzer; the CMO gets one of by default.

Causes

• Certain chemicals such as mercury, impedrezene, or fentanyl
• Being hit in the head a bunch
• Oxygen loss
• Being trans i lied thats not a thing
• Abusing certain narcotics.
• Chaplain's bible applied to the head.
• Unholy Water
• Brainrot
• Earthsblood from Ambrosia Gaia.

Treatment

• Mannitol pills or injections slowly cure brain damage, but does not cure brain traumas. Can be poured directly on a brain.
• Neurine will treat the most basic brain traumas. These traumas have no prefix on health analyzer. When used on the dead will heal a corpse's brain slowly.
• Brain Surgery, will also cure severe traumas. You can identify severe brain traumas by the prefix "severe" on health analyzer.
• Lobotomy will cure deep-rooted brain traumas, but at the risk of causing a different permanent trauma. You can identify deep-rooted brain traumas by the prefix "deep-rooted" on health analyzer.
• Permanent brain traumas are either permanent or curable with magic, which is typically unavailable. A lobotomy can cause these traumas. You can identify permanent brain traumas by the prefix "permanent" on health analyzer. If you get one of these, then assume "this is my life now".

Cellular Damage

Cellular damage is something nobody really knows about but I think it's either Nightmare (antagonist) or Genetics related

Causes

• Slimes in Xenobiology
• Non-upgraded cloners

Treatment

Cryoxadone and Pryoxadone heal cellular damage when used in a cryotube.

Dismemberment

This is when your limbs pop off. Patients may lose their head, legs or arms. A patient missing arms can't hold items or interact with objects. Missing legs will slow down a patient, but missing both legs also prevents them from holding any items unless they're buckled to a chair, and will force them to crawl around on the floor. Missing both arms and legs renders the patient a nugget with no ability to move or interact outside of talking. Patients missing a head will die in most cases as their body lacks its brain.

Examining a patient will describe any missing limbs.

Causes

• Strong physical forces, such as explosions.
• Getting hit by strong, sharp objects such as swords.
• Patients who experience severe trauma to the chest may have their organs spill out, but the torso will remain intact.
• Amputation via surgery.

Treatment

• Prosthetic replacement via surgery.
• If you can, you can carry your original limb back to medbay to have it re-attached.
  • Cyborg limbs may be used. Robotics can produce cyborg limbs, but there is also a crate of cheap prosthetic limbs in Medbay Storage.
  • Organic limbs may be used. In most cases, a detached limb can be found and reattached. However, all the limb's damage will be transferred to the patient, so be ready to treat BRUTE and BLEEDING.
  • Synthetic limbs from a limb grower may be used. The limb grower can only produce arms and legs, unless emagged.
  • Peg limbs crafted from wood planks may be directly slapped onto the body without the need for surgery. The downside of this is that they are unable to use certain items such as guns, and are quick to fall off after taking damage.

Wounds

You can find emergency medkits in oxygen lockers which have injectors and tools that fix wounds far better than regular medicine! Nobody uses these outside of new players.

Cut

Make you bleed, worse cuts bleed faster.

• Rough Abrasion: You can probably ignore it
• Open Laceration: Apply gauze to the limb to greatly staunch bleeding, sutures and cauteries (or anything that can light a cigarette) reduce bleeding directly, emergency medipens help clot all active cuts if you have several
• Weeping Avulsion: Lower your bleeding ASAP! Apply emergency medipen INSTANTLY and gauze, then apply sutures/cauterization as necessary until down to at least an Open Laceration, if not an Abrasion.

Pierce

Bleeds slower than slashes but doesn't clot, chance to lose some blood when hit again in this limb

• Minor Breakage: Not super important, sutures, gauze, or cautery will fix it
• Open Puncture: Apply gauze to the limb to greatly staunch bleeding, sutures and cauteries (or anything that can light a cigarette) reduce bleeding directly, emergency medipens help clot all active cuts if you have several
• Ruptured Cavity: Important to deal with, Repair Puncture surgery is quick and effective, as is just using a cautery, even if you take some burn damage from it. This is what happened to Kirk by the way if that matters

Burn

Attacks deal more damage to this limb, Third Degree and Catastrophic Burns become infected. If you fail to stop an infection, you must take the Spaceacellin chem to slow/halt it temporarily, ts may be found in the medical chem vendor, or, if its too late, you may scroll down to the "amputation" part of the surgery guide.

• Second Degree: Just apply some ointment or regenerative mesh and wait a bit
• Third Degree: Debriding surgery takes care of both infections and flesh healing effectively, otherwise use more ointment/mesh along with some spaceacillin or a paramedic UV penlight
• Catastrophic Burns: Same as Third Degree, but with more urgency. Seriously this shit gets infected in like 5 minutes get a bandage INSTANTLY.

Bone

Cause interaction/movement slowdowns depending on the limb

• Joint Dislocation: Use a bonesetter or get someone to aggro-grab on the limb before help intenting said limb.
• Hairline Fracture: Get surgery, or apply bone gel followed by surgical tape to the limb and wait. Gauze can splint the wound to lower penalties.
• Compound Fracture: Same as hairline fracture, but both the surgery and gel/tape method take longer. Gauze splints will re-enable the limb until it can be healed

Chest fractures may additionally cause organ damage and head fractures may cause brain damage and temporary traumas, see fracture-derived traumas.

Internal Bleeding

nobody knows how this works sorry just take clot meds and take measures against bloodloss

Surgery

Beginning of any operation

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.

• 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: Place the patient onto the operating table. Do this doing a on the patient. Then left click the operating table to place the patient on it. You can also 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: Stasis bed (-10%), any table (-20%), any bed (-30%), ask them to lie on the floor (-50%). The speed of completing every step will be reduced.

Step 2.1 (Optional) Splash on, spray or apply a patch with Miner's Salve (+10%), Sterilizine (+20%), alcoholic drinks (up to +46%), or Honey (+60%) for faster surgery speed.

• The stronger the alcohol, the more effective! The formula is: 0.1*(booze power/65). For example: Ethanol gives +10% surgery speed, Manly Dorf +15%, Bacchus' Blessing +46%.

Step 2.2: (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: 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: will make you fail every surgery step on purpose.

Step 5: Aim at the appropriate body part (important!).

Step 6: Do the surgery. Afterwards congratulate the patient and kick them out. Failed steps will autorepeat

There are WAYY too many surgery steps to list here - Please see steps and other things on the official wiki page.

HEY YOU NIGGER, YOU CAN'T REVIVE DNR PEOPLE / PEOPLE WHO CLOSED THEIR BYOND CLIENT / THOSE WHO HAVE COMMITTED SUICIDE!

Examine the Player. Does it say they died to suicide? If so, chuck them in the morgue/gib/space the body.

If it says "the soul has departed", that means they closed their client/disconnected, and may come back. Morgue them and check on them later. If it doesn't say "soul has departed", You are able to revive them, however if they come back at a later time, you may have to replace their decayed organs.

Regular

Heal patient to over 0 HP after replacing their decayed organs- Click drag your backpack into any of your hands, then drop it, then grab a defibrillator. There's usually wall mounted ones. The large one goes on your backpack slot, and the compact defib that the CMO gets goes on your belt slot. Then empty both of your hands, and click the new defibrillator hud icon on your top left to take out the paddles. Activate/click the paddles with the hand you're holding them in to wield them in both hands. Stop dragging the patient (with H or delete) or you will be shocked. Turn off Combat Mode, target the chest, and then click on the patient. After a few seconds, you'll deliver an electric shock. If you have completely healed them above 0 health, and their organs are replaced/still work, then most likely they will revive without issue.

Surgical

Same as above - Heal them, but this time, target the head, use surgical drapes and select "revival". If the body has sustained too much damage, it'll die immediately after the revival. So that means.. heal them!

Follow these steps in order to revive them. If you lack the tools, use the alternative method or print some at the departmental lathe.

Procedure	Ghetto / Alternative
Step 1: Scalpel: make an incision.	You can use any sharp object for this.
Step 2: Retractor: retract the skin.	Wirecutters and screwdrivers work for this.
Step 3: Circular Saw: cut through the bone.	You can use any sharp object for this.
Step 4: Hemostat: clamp bleeders.	Wirecutters and Cable coils works for this.
Step 5: Scalpel: make an incision.	You can use any sharp object for this.
Step 6: Revive (defibrillator): revive the target (repeatable).	You can use a taser or a batong for this.
Step 7: Cautery: seal the wound.	You can use a welder or a match for this.

Note that Alternative/Ghetto surgery methods take significantly longer to do compared to using the proper tools.

Chemical

You can revive someone with strange reagent.

Use the same steps to prepare the body as before defibrillation, except this revival method also restores some BLOOD and organ damage depending on how much of the reagent you use.

Strange reagent is a miracle drug that can bring a dead body back to life. Only works on ingestion (pill). Amount needed increases depending on how much BRUTE+BURN the body has (at most 10u at 200 damage). Extra amounts will partly heal organ damage and BLOOD levels on successful revive. The drug doesn't work on corpses with over 200 BRUTE+BURN or husks.

In living people each tick randomly deals 0-2.5 BRUTE and BURN. Can revive simplemobs (critters) as well by splashing it on them.

Exotic

Botany/Hydroponics can revive people via Podding - nobody does this doe - If you can't find the patient's brain your only choice is try to turn them into a podperson. Note there is no way for you to see if a brainless body has a soul or not, since the examine message won't tell you. If the patient has no BLOOD, you can give blood to the corpse, then use that for podding. Replica pods can be used to grow dead people back to life - even when their brain and head are missing. To podclone someone, follow these simple steps:

• Take a blood sample from the body using a syringe.
• Inject it into the bag of seeds.
• Plant the seeds.
• Let the plant grow and then harvest it.
• If the ghost of the corpse is still online, and did not turn on "Do not Resuscitate", that person will be cloned as a Podman.
• If there was no ghost available, the resulting harvest will simply produce up to two new packs of seeds.

Podmen are not human - AI can ignore them/kill them.

When Ethereals die, they go into a crystal that heals them back to full HP.

Brain Traumas

This a collage of brain traumas in the game. Please note that having a brain trauma will result to you getting banned, as OOC in IC isn't permitted in our HRP++ slowburn A24 server's ruleset.

You can only naturally gain one Mild Trauma and one Severe/Special Trauma at the same time from brain damage. However, other sources of traumas ignore this restriction.

Severe

Severe Traumas require at least 100 brain damage before appearing, making them hard to get randomly. They are severely debilitating, and can range from mutism to complete paralysis.

They usually have the Severe Prefix which means they can be cured with brain surgery. Some have the meaner Deep-rooted Prefix, which requires a lobotomy. Some can be cured with a virus with the mind restoration symptom, with a high enough Resistance stat of course.

Special

Severe Traumas have a 20% chance of being Special Trauma instead, though many special traumas can't be acquired this way. Special Traumas grant the player special abilities, although generally with little to no control over them.

Unlike Severe Traumas, Special Traumas are usually basic traumas which are easily healed with Neurine. Since the player will usually also have at least one mild trauma as well, it means it's usually only possible to have both or none.

Magic

These traumas only appear when Wizards cast the Curse of Madness ritual before heading to the station. There is a 20% chance that a person will have a Magical Trauma rather than a mild/severe/special trauma.

They are usually deep-rooted, which means the only way to rid a patient of them is to perform a lobotomy.

Prefixes

You can identify the level of cure needed to fix a brain trauma by scanning the patient with a health analyzer. Different level traumas have different prefixes. These prefixes can easily be confused with the different trauma categories on this page, but they are separate systems, which normally overlap since severe traumas usually have the severe prefix, and so on.

None

These traumas have no prefix on health analyzer. Neurine, the chemical, will cure basic brain traumas.

Severe

You can identify severe brain traumas by the prefix "severe" on health analyzer. Brain Surgery will cure severe traumas.

Deep Rooted

You can identify deep-rooted brain traumas by the prefix "deep-rooted" on health analyzer. Lobotomy will cure deep-rooted brain traumas. Some viruses can cure these and lower level traumas.

Fracture-Derived

You can identify fracture-derived brain traumas by the prefix "fracture-derived" on the health analyzer. These brain traumas are side effects of either a hairline fracture or a compound fracture dealt to the head. Repairing the fracture via the respective surgery procedure will also cure the trauma.

Permanent

You can identify permanent brain traumas by the prefix "permanent" on health analyzer. Permanent brain traumas are either permanent or solely curable with magic, which is typically unavailable. A lobotomy causes these traumas. If you get one of these, then IT'S OVER.
