/tg/Station 13

I find them useless since if you have one, you tend to have a bruisepack already, I suggest to add them to the spawn emergency box inside your backpack, with one uses or something alike. And maybe remove them from medkits too.

Kind of power creep but it would make the problem of people losing all their blood from being dragged less of an issue.

the public first aid kits need to be nerfed anyway, bruise packs and ointment are too powerful for how common they are.

I use gauze all the time. It's applied instantly (unlike bruise packs) and a critical tool for anyone who doesn't want a station covered in bloody footprints.

Make bleeding function as stacks that accumulate from having large amounts of brute damage on a limb instead of only bleeding while the limb is hurt

Make the bleeding stacks drop slowly if there's no actively banged up limb, and have applying gauze lower the bleeding stacks faster

bam, bruise packs and styptic are no longer entirely in the domain of gauze

Everyone knows bleeding is kinda dumb, it's just nobody actually bothered to do anything about it

Gauze is fine, it stops bleeding from drags so it works as a rollerbed for living, and the dead have body bags so whatever. Bleeding can be nasty, especially with embedded stuff, so Gauze can’t ever be a bad thing to have. If I had to buff it, I would make gauze instant to self apply and make it last at least until more brute dmg is taken.

If I had to change bloodloss without the rest of medbay, I’d make it so you can’t lose a percentage of your blood greater than 2/3rds your current brute dmg. As in, if someone has 45 dmg, they can’t lose more than 30% blood (still a ton!)

You can also gauze people while the chems heal them up, so shrug.

Bitch

Better idea, you should have to dip gauze in healing chems otherwise they fester and get infected. You can only stop the bleeding safely by combining gauze and a bruise pack, otherwise your patient gets gangrene and the arm drops off or he dies of sepsis.

While I agree that this isn't the right way to go about it, there's probably room for a form of wound infection in the future for untreated injuries left untreated for a period of time and above a certain threshold.

Assistants dipping their spears in toilets give them a 50% chance to cause an infection if left untreated, 100% if the spear is thrown an embedded.
