Surgical Infection is a mechanic that causes Sepsis based on how sterile the patient’s environment is.
The following will increase sterility:
- Patient wearing Surgical Drapes (+100 base sterility)
- Nearby characters wearing Surgical Mask and Surgeon Clothes (scales with distance to patient)
- Having surgery skill (sterility gained based off this equation: 10 + surgery skill / 5)
- Having Ointmented on the incision (+50 sterility)
The following will decrease sterility:
- Patient having no Surgical Drapes or Ointmented (sets sterility to the minimum)
- Nearby characters not wearing Surgical Mask or Surgeon Clothes (scales with distance to patient)
At the minimum sterility, there is a 10% chance every two seconds for the patient to acquire Sepsis.
