Cannibal Overhaul - Kuru Disease

This mod alters the functionality of the Cannibal Perk by modifying the game's default set of 3 perks and introducing 2 new ones. It substitutes the penalty Dark Craving with a new disease known as Kuru. This disease seeks to replicate the effects experienced by the real disease. Additionally, it introduces new cooking recipes that encompass benefits, temporary enhancements, repellents, and medications, all of which adjust in potency based on the disease's level. Furthermore, it includes the addition of grenades and traps crafted from the remains collected from the corpses.

The Kuru disease can progress through 6 levels upon the number of Kuru Stacks obtained from consuming humanoids. The more Kuru Stacks acquired, the more intense and frequent the Symptoms of the Kuru disease become. Conversely, the benefits obtained from the recipes will also grow in strength to counterbalance the symptoms of Kuru depending on the Kuru Stacks.
