BloodTypes + BloodBag Mod

Author of the BloodTypes + BloodBag Mod: mlie

BloodTypes + BloodBag Mod is an update of the original fix for RimWorld 1.0 and adds blood types, blood transfusions, and related health effects to the game. Pawns can use blood bags to recover from blood loss, but repeated donations will cause blood loss in the donor and leave them woozy.

BloodTypes + BloodBag Mod Features

  • Blood types system: Adds ABO blood types to pawns.
  • Blood bags: Introduces a blood bag item that can be administered to provide a health bonus and remove blood loss.
  • Transfusion mechanics: Includes blood transfusion gameplay with possible benefits and mishaps based on blood compatibility.
  • Donation consequences: Giving blood multiple times will now result in blood loss.
  • Updated stack behavior: Adds a normal stack size for blood bags and fixes their stack graphics.
  • Hediff adjustments: Blood and blood type hediffs should no longer count as bad conditions or be curable by item.
  • Visual placeholder graphics: Blood bags currently use red semi-translucent ambrosia-style graphics.

Blood type compatibility

The ABO blood type system is based on the presence or absence of A and B antigens on red blood cells. Type A has only the A antigen, type B has only the B antigen, type AB has both, and type O has neither. Pawns naturally develop antibodies against the antigens they do not have, which means incompatible transfusions can cause harmful reactions. Because of this, maintaining access to multiple blood types is important for successful treatment.

Compatibility notes

  • It is not needed for anything else.
  • Blood bags have no cost other than time.
  • Using blood bags makes pawns woozy.
