Surgery Meds

Description
Set the quality of medicine used for surgery separately from the general setting by right-clicking instead of left-clicking the icon.

This lets you e.g. have "doctor care, but no meds" for tending, without needing to change it whenever a surgery needs to be performed.

Any medical procedure that requires meds to perform is considered a "surgery" for this purpose.

Safe to add or remove at any point.

Source code is on GitHub.[github.com]

The quality of medicine used for surgery cannot be set in the "Default medicine settings"?

Nah I'm not asking anyone to do it lol. I also don't mean using herbal meds in place of the industrial medicine for the anesthetise surgery bill. The bills would stay the same. It's just irritating when you want to anaesthetise a dog but the default surgery medicine is set to glitterworld, so they grab your last glitterworld meds to put the dog into cryptosleep instead of using the abundant industrial meds.

If the surgeries just used the medicine that is listed in the bill, that would even be an improvement haha

And just to be clear - simply setting the default down to industrial for surgeries (using this mod, Pharmacist, or just disabling "use best" in vanilla) isn't really a solution, as then they will never perform surgeries that require glitterworld.

Not sure I can do that easily. The anestethic is baked into the medicine cost for the surgery. It is possible, but would be more invasive and much more prone to mod incompatibilities.

I wasn't asking if it was compatible with Pharmacist. I was saying it would be great to be able to define which types of surgery use which meds. Anaesthetise for instance doesn't need glitterworld meds. Pharmacist doesn't do this.

@Kathanon That is a bummer. I appreciate you taking the time to look into that though.

@PearOn
I looked at the new meds added by the mods. Adding new categories for them would require completely replacing the games code for that. Seems like a lot more work and a lot more potential for bugs than it's worth.

@Kathanon @Lurmey Have been using this with Pharmacist for a while now, not seen anything that indicates any incompatibilities.
