A RimWorld mod that adds ritual scarring and tattoos.

Scarification

A RimWorld mod that adds ritual scarring and tattoos as a neolithic form of body modification.

Procedures

Tattoo and Scarify are new operations that can be added as bills for each of the arms, legs, and torso. Although the operations are safer with a more talented doctor, they are fairly easy compared to most surgeries and require only that they have some basic artistic skill. A single unit of any medicine is used for each procedure, which is performed without anesthetic. Once healed, tattooed and scarified limbs provide small bonuses to social impact and pain shock threshold respectively.

Recovery

These procedures are painful and require some time to heal before bonuses appear.

rimworld-scarification's Issues

Render tattoos on character sprites

No gameplay effect, but would be a neat detail to have tattooed faces and torsos show this graphically.

Make graphics for Workshop page and mod list

Add randomized art descriptions to tattoos

Generate art for tattoos. No gameplay effect, but some extra flavor text would be nice. Will require some UI work at add an art description to a type of thing that normally does not have art.

Add interaction with Body Purist and Transhumanist traits

Body Purists and Transhumanists should have appropriate feelings about tattooed and scarified limbs. I think the effect should probably be smaller than that from prosthetics, and with a more accurate tooltip (it shouldn't mention artificial parts).

Would like if this could be implemented in XML. If not, I'll drag out MonoDevelop if there's enough other reasons to.
