Stop The Bleeding

INTRODUCTION

Hello wasteland wanderers, I bring you my first ever mod, an attempt to improve the damage and medical system in Fallout 4. I always felt the medical system in FO4 was a bit basic even in hardcore mode, it just didn't feel very realistic or immersive. The inspiration for this mod comes from Rust, S. T. A. L. K. E. R., and similar games.

The player and most NPC's can be wounded and receive bleed damage but the bleeding can be reduced with bandages. This will make gun fights much more strategic since you will need to avoid being shot as much as possible. The aim of the mod is to add a new level of depth to the game and make it more challenging while remaining intuitive.

This mod combines Bleeding Wounds System and Wasteland Wound Care so that bleeding wounds caused by BWS can be patched up with bandages from WWC. Bandages will now reduce the damage taken by bleeding, however certain bandages such as the Pre-war medicated bandage will also have healing effects which will work even when not bleeding.

Limbs will not auto heal, you'll need to use a Scavver Medkit, Scavver Surgery Kit, or Elastic Bandage. Stimpaks do not have any limb healing effects and they will now restore a constant amount of HP rather than a percentage amount. Stimpaks can still be improved substantially with the Medic perk and Medicine Bobblehead, as well as the Chemist perk.

Agony is highly recommended for more first aid items, custom bandage models and animations, more realistic wound mechanics, and other extended features. Raider Overhaul is also recommended for a few extra first aid items and better raiders. Wasteland Imports also adds a few more first aid items and many other cool items from previous Fallout games.

First Aid Items:

- Dirty Rag Bandage: reduces bleeding but high risk of infection

- Clean Rag Bandage: reduces bleeding moderately

- Elastic Bandage: reduces bleeding and heals limbs slightly

- Sterile Bandage: reduces bleeding considerably

- Medicated Bandage (Pre-War): reduces bleeding substantially and restores health

- M1a1 Advanced Trauma Dressing: reduces bleeding greatly and restores health

- Scavver Surgery Kit: makeshift surgery kit for healing limbs, will cause bleeding

- Scavver Medkit: makeshift first aid kit for healing limbs, wont cause bleeding

- Raider Rad-Out: removes radiation. Side effects include pain, nausea, etc

- Wasteland Wound Balm: will heal limbs slightly without side effects
