About The Pull Request

Self surgery now has a 50% base failchance.
Surgery is now affected by location. Doing surgery off a stasis bed or surgery bed will incur a 10% failchance.
Surgery is also now affected by latex gloves. Not having latex gloves will incur a 15% fail chance, having latex gloves will give a 5% success chance.
Surgery success is also now affected by chemicals. If it speeds up surgery, it will give a 15% bonus success chance.
Prosthetic limbs and IPC's are immune to the 50% base fail chance.

Why It's Good For The Game

Self surgery sucks. It's not getting removed but now it is harder to do. You will need some form of chemical(anything that speeds up surgery - alcohol, sterilizine, or honey), a surgery bed, as well as latex gloves otherwise you will have a high fail chance.

Additionally these changes apply to all surgeries. Doing surgery on the floor should have a small chance of failure. Surgery should require gloves, having beneficial gloves will apply a bonus. Sterilizine doesn't see much use anymore but it can now help succeed in less than favorable conditions.

As a doctor surgery failure will be extremely rare if you are using proper tools, doing surgery on a bed, and wearing gloves. Outside of medbay, you may have a small fail chance.

Testing

Tested on a localhost. All buffs and debuffs to surgery are properly applied.

IPC's and prosthetics are able to do self surgery with no debuffs, but regular organic limbs are negatively affected.

Changelog

🆑 Cujo
add: Surgery will now get a 10% fail chance if not on a proper surgery bed or stasis bed.
add: Surgery will now get a 15% fail chance if not wearing latex gloves, or a 5% success bonus if wearing gloves.
add: Chemicals that positively affect surgery speed will get a 15% surgery success bonus.
balance: Self surgery is now significantly harder(+50% fail chance). It will require chems, a surgery bed, proper tools, and gloves or else it will have a high fail chance.
balance: IPC's and those with robotics limbs can bypass the fail chance of self surgery.
add: Roller beds, emergency roller beds, and medical beds will now give a 15% faster bonus to surgery speed. (0.7->0.85)

we voted in February whether to keep or kill self-surgery, and it pointed to keep. without a proper discussion, this PR is just a salt PR...

probably should have opened as a draft since I need to make a few more changes. I will open a discussion when it’s ready tho

there was several people who had suggested it should require painkillers and the like to be doable, and this way it is not as successful if you don’t have something like sterilizine or sterile gloves or proper tools. failchance also is nonexistent with proper tools and now it matters beyond that
