Characters, like colonists, raiders, etc, can become injured (via the environment or fighting). Each injury affects a different part of the colonists' well being, and can be found under a character's Health tab.
Health Systems

- ↑ Refers to whether or not the pawn will die if a system's capacity becomes 'None'
- ↑ Centipedes body rings are used for movement instead, since they don't have legs.
- ↑ In the current alpha, while it doesn't kill you, it pretty much makes that pawn completely unable to care for themselves. Considered 'lethal' by much of the community do to this.
- ↑ Again, Centipedes body rings are used for work instead, since they don't have arms.
- ↑ Centipedes have no form of external communication. Scythers do have a neck though, and make some interesting sounds when incapacitated (they sound pretty cute).
Pain
- Main Article: Pain
Most biological creatures including colonists, raiders, and animals feel pain caused by injuries. A pawn's pain level ranges from 0% to 100% and is displayed on their Health tab's Overview. Pain levels are None, Little, Moderate, Severe, and Extreme.[Detail Needed] Even a little pain causes unhappy thoughts. Once pain passes 10%, it'll start to have an effect on consciousness. If a pawn's pain level meets or exceeds their Pain Shock Threshold they'll go into shock, unable to move. Pawns with the Wimp trait will be incapacitated with only minor pain of 30%.
Most pain is temporary, but scars and certain diseases can cause long-term pain. A painstopper implant or the Painblock psycast 
will get rid of all a colonist's pain and negate any pain-related mood penalties. Note that colonists with the Masochist trait or an ideoligion with the Pain: Idealized precept
get a mood bonus from pain instead of a penalty, so it's usually better to leave them alone.
Injuries to the artificial parts do not cause any pain, so colonists with a lot of bionics will generally incur less pain during combat.
Formula
Pain for a given pawn is the sum of the pain from each individual injury, with two extra steps at the end:
pain = pain / healthFactorfor pawns with a healthFactor other than 1.0 (like grizzly bears and other large animals). Humans have a healthFactor of 1.0, so this doesn't impact humanspain = pain * painFactorfrom health conditions which alter pain. This includes pain-reducing drugs like flake and yayo as well as anesthetic used during operations
Pain from an individual injury is the product of the severity of the injury (the number of HP missing for things like cuts and burns) and the pain per severity for the injury type. For example:
- 30 burn damage causes 30 damage × 0.01875 pain per severity = 56.25% pain
- 30 cut damage causes 30 damage × 0.0125 pain per severity = 37.5% pain
For the complete table of pain vs damage, see Health Difficulties
Thresholds
Pain creates moodlets of different values at 4 stages depending on pain severity.
| Level | Required Pain % | Mood Penalty (Default) |
Mood Buff (Masochist) |
Mood Buff (Pain:Idealized )
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor | 1% | −5 | +5 | +3 |
| Serious | 15% | −10 | +10 | +5 |
| Intense | 40% | −15 | +15 | +7 |
| Mind-shattering | 80% | −20 | +20 | +9 |
A standard pawn will go down upon reaching mind-shattering pain.
Pain inflicts a consciousness penalty that scales with the pain percentage after exceeding 10%. It conforms to the following equation:
IF Pain[%] <= 10% THEN -0% ELSE -{(Pain-0.1)/2.25}[%] For example, 15% pain is 0.15 - 0.1 = 0.05 / 2.25 = 0.02 or 2% consciousness loss.

Factors
 | This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Many other hediffs cause pain or change pain factors. Also injury mechanics. Also how is PainFactor applied? Is it exactly the same as a post factor for other capacities? Math section on final calculation is needed.. |
Base factors
Factors cause the game code to MULTIPLY pain X a number. Small numbers reduce pain a lot. Large numbers reduce pain a little.
- Painstopper: ×0%
- Painless persona trait : ×0%
- Go-juice:
- High: ×10%
- Withdrawal: ×300%
- Painblock psycast: ×10%
- Yayo:
- High: ×50%
- Luciferium:
- High: ×80%
- Psychite tea:
- High: ×90%
- Beer: (See also Offsets)
- Warm: ×90%
- Tipsy: ×80%
- Drunk: ×50%
- Hammerred: ×30%
- Blackout: ×10%
- Psychic bond
:
- Psychic bond: ×50%
- Reduced pain: ×50%
Offsets
Offsets cause the game code to ADD OR SUBTRACT a number from the pawn's pain. Small numbers are less effective at reducing pain than large numbers. However, if the pawn only has a small amount of pain, an equally small offset will be totally effective at removing all pain. Positive numbers add pain. Negative numbers reduce pain.
- Mindscrew: +20%
- Sensory mechanites:
- Mild pain: +20%
- Intense pain: +60%
- Blood rot:
- Extreme: +5%
- Fibrous mechanites:
- Mild pain: +20%
- Intense pain: +60%
- Muscle parasites: +20%
- Gut worms: +20%
- Malaria:
- Major: +30%
- Extreme: +30%
- Luciferium:
- Withdrawal: +40%
- Beer: (See also Factors)
- Blackout: +5%
- Stoned on smokeleaf: −20%
- Torture crown: +5%
- Tox gas:
- Mild: +10%
- Moderate: +15%
- Severe: +25%
- Hemogen craving:
- Minor: +5%
- Moderate: +10%

Character Anatomies
TODO: Move these under the appropriate race pages.
The human anatomy in Rimworld is a simplified one of ours in real life.
Body Parts
Head
- Health: 30
- Lethal if destroyed/removed.
Container of the skull, eyes, ears, nose, and jaw. Technically, you don't need the head itself to live (rather you need the contents of the head, like the brain, to live).
Skull
- Health: 30
- Lethal if shattered.
Container of the brain. It's worth noting that an injury cannot hit the skull without hitting the brain as well. Lethal if lost, since it holds the brain (again, you need the brain to live, not technically the skull).
Brain
- Health: 10
- Lethal if destroyed/removed.
The most important organ of a colonist. It's required for consciousness, sight processing, hearing processing, moving, and working.
Eyes
- Health: 10
Includes :
- Right Eye
- Left Eye
Eyes are required for seeing. They do not heal when injured, and always scar. [[version/

Torso
- Health: 40
- Core Part
- Lethal if destroyed
The torso is the core part of a colonist. It is a container for the rest of the major organs of a colonist, and destroying it effectively destroys/disconnects the rest of the colonist's organs. A majority of human characters will die from torso injury/destruction long before they die of anything else.
Neck

The clavicles are the bones between the neck and shoulder (the human damage model does not include shoulders, however, so the clavicle connects the arm instead), and are required for the for work. Shattering a clavicle is equivalent to actually losing the arm in terms of functionality.
Spine
- Health: 35
Colonists need their spine for moving and working. Shattering the spine results in complete paralysis, presumably below the neck. [[version/

Injuries are physical damage to a living being. Humanoids, animals, and mechanoids can sustain injuries from many sources, which each have their own Damage Type.
Injury types
Different weapons cause different types of injuries. For example, a mace will crush, a longsword will cut, and fire will burn. The type of injury impacts the amount of pain it causes, the rate of bleeding, and the chance of infection
Summary
Injuries reduce a body part's health, its efficiency, and causes pain to the pawn.
Damage
Every body part has a health value, which is lowered every time it takes damage. When it reaches 0, the part is completely destroyed.
Any damage will lower a body part's efficiency, proportional to its health remaining. For example, if a arm has 15/30 health, then that arm performs 50% worse. As each arm is responsible for 50% Manipulation, this results in the pawn having -25% Manipulation until the injury is healed. Some parts, like the torso, are not responsible for any pawn stat, but still take damage and cause pain.
Some damage can be permanent. See Scarring for more details.
Pain
The greater the damage, the greater the pain. Pain is equal to pain = (damage) * damage_type_factor. Most injuries have a damage type factor of 1.25, or 1.25% pain per 1 HP damage. This is then scaled for the pawn's health, so a thrumbo feels less pain than a human for the same damage attack.
Pain reduces Consciousness directly, which reduces most pawn capabilities. It also gives a rapidly increasing mood penalty, unless the pawn is a masochist or follows an ideoligion with the Pain: Idealized precept.
Excessive pain causes pain shock, the most common way to down pawns in combat, which prevents them from fighting. Most pawns have a Pain Shock Threshold of 80%. Note that enemies have a chance to immediately die when downed from pain shock, but not from other means, like blood loss or heat stroke.
Mechanoids are machines, and are immune to pain. In humans, pain can be completely eliminated with a painstopper, or reduced for a short time with go-juice or the Painblock psycast.
Bleeding
Bleeding is a common occurrence from certain damage types. While an injury is bleeding, pawns will gain blood loss, scaling with the wound and amount of wounds. Total blood loss is listed under whole body, with a tooltip showing the percent. If blood loss reaches 100%, the pawn will die. Bleeding pawns will also leave blood on the ground, making the area dirty.
Bleeding always stops immediately with tending, regardless of the tend quality or medicine used. However, higher quality medicine can cover more wounds at once, which can stop a pawn from bleeding out faster. Injuries will also heal on their own, though a lost limb will always continue to bleed until tended to.
The coagulator implant halves the rate of blood loss, while the Superclotting gene rapidly stops bleeding. The ability added by the Coagulate gene also immediately tends all wounds on the target pawn, instantly stopping bleeding.
Related
Infection
Infections can occur whenever a pawn is hurt by a bite, burn, frostbite, or any damage type that causes bleeding. A completely destroyed body part won't cause infection. Once a pawn recieves these injuries, the game starts a random timer between 15,000 ticks (4.17 mins) to 45,000 ticks (12.5 mins), per injury before checking for infection. The chance of infection depends on:
- Damage type. Bite, burn or frostbite wounds have a 25% chance, other bleeding wounds have a 10% to infect.
- Tend quality. The multiplier is 85% at 0% tend quality, linearly decreasing to 5% at 100% tend quality.
- Location. The higher the Cleanliness, the lower the chance for infection (50% at 0 Cleanliness).
Animals are 20% as likely to receive an infection. Mechanoids can't get diseases.
Scarring

Scars are lasting markers of injuries. When an injury scars, it permanently lowers the health of the scarred body part, reducing its efficiency. They also cause a small amount of pain. The chance of scarring depends on damage type and the part being damaged. The eyes are particularly vulnerable to scars. Brain damage will always scar, and therefore always be permanent. In addition to injury, pawns may start with scars on them.
Scars can be healed by a limited number of ways. Artificial body parts never scar, and replacing an organic part will cure any scars. Luciferium and the Scarless gene heal 1 scar every 15-30 days. A biosculpter pod can do Bioregeneration, which costs 
2 glitterworld medicine and takes time to complete. A healer mech serum can heal scars, but is very rare.
Trauma savant
If a pawn receives physical damage to the brain, they have a 12% of receiving trauma savant. This ailment causes the following effects:
- A ×0% multiplier to Talking and Hearing, making the pawn unable to socialize.
- +50% to Manipulation, increasing effectiveness in many tasks
- Brain function is restored, as if it was not injured
Trauma savant can be cured with a healer mech serum. However, healer mech serum will always cure scars before trauma savant. As this ailment always occurs with a brain scar, you'll need multiple serums, or a serum with another way of curing scars (such as luciferium).
It can also be cured with a resurrector mech serum. If a pawn dies, and their corpse doesn't have a head or brain, then using a resurrector serum will restore usual brain function. With the Ideology DLC, you can use the 'extract skull' option to always remove a human corpse's head. In Core RimWorld, you can eat the corpse, though this risks eating the entire corpse.
Healing

Injured colonists will recover from their wounds over time. Tending to a wound and resting in bed speeds up recovery.
Healing Rate

Every 600 ticks (10 secs), heal rate × 0.01 points of damage are healed from a randomly selected (non-permanent) wound, or an average recovery of heal rate points of damage per in-game day (60,000 ticks). This healing reduces the severity of the injury, until the body part is fully recovered.
The exact heal rate is determined by adding up three factors:
- Default healing rate: All pawns have a base heal rate of 8.
- Is the pawn lying down or in a bed?:
- +4 for resting on a sleeping spot or the ground
- +8 for resting on a bed / double bed / bedroll / double bedroll
- +14 for resting on a hospital bed.
- Is the wound tended?: +4 for 0% tend quality and +0.08 per percentage of quality, up to +12 at 100% tend quality.
- Does the pawn have one of the following Genes:[Verify OoP]
- ×50% with slow wound healing gene.
- ×200% with fast wound healing gene.
- ×400% with superfast wound healing gene.
- ×50% with slow wound healing gene.
Immunity Gain Speed has no impact on injury recovery; it only impacts diseases.
Example
To put this in perspective, consider a colonist who has taken 20hp of damage to various body parts, given different recovery scenarios:
- Do nothing: With no tending or rest, they get the base heal rate of 8, so it will take (20 × 60,000) / 8 = 150,000 ticks (2.5 in-game days) to fully heal.
- Basic tend and resting: With a 40% tend quality (+7.2) and rest in a non-hospital bed (+8), they'll have a heal rate of 8 + 7.2 + 8 = 23.2, so it will take 51,724 ticks to heal (approximately 21 in-game hours)
- Best quality care: With 100% tend quality (+12) and rest in a hospital bed (+14), they'll have a heal rate of 8 + 12 + 14 = 34, so it will take 35,294 ticks to heal (approximately 14 hours in game)
Medicine
Medicine does not directly cause healing, but it increases the average tend quality. Whenever a wound is tended, the quality is multiplied by the medicine given:
| Medicine | Potency |
|---|---|
 None |
0.30 |
 Herbal medicine |
0.60 |
 Medicine |
1.00 |
| Glitterworld medicine |
1.60 |
Each type of medicine has a cap on their tend quality; herbal medicine can reach a quality up to 70% in a regular bed, for instance.[Verify]
While bleeding wounds can be stopped by any quality of treatment, medicine can treat multiple small wounds in a single "batch" of tending. For patients with many bleeding wounds, the difference can easily be life or death.
Medicine is also useful for treating disease, where tend quality is more impactful, and performing surgery, which is boosted greatly by medicine.
Disfigured
Disfigurement is caused by damage or destruction to the nose, eyes, ears, or jaw. It adds the "Disfigured −15" opinion modifier. Disfigurement can be treated by healing/replacing the injured/destroyed body part.
While disfigurement does not have a direct impact on a pawn's beauty, it does disable the positive opinion for positive beauty, while stacking with negative beauty.
Similarly to beauty modifiers kind and blind pawns do not gain nor lose any opinion based on disfigurement. Pawns with the Blindsight ideoligion instead revere pawns with destroyed eyes.
Trivia
Brain injuries in Rimworld cause large amounts of pain (20% or higher for a 5 hp wound), which can render a pawn permanently comatose in certain cases. This is a result of the reduction in Consciousness from the pain being added on top of the direct reduction in Consciousness from the brain injury itself due to the reduced part efficiency. However, in real life the human brain has no pain receptors. Despite their perceived location, headaches are usually caused by receptors triggering elsewhere in the head or neck, not by receptors in the brain. Certain types of headaches are due to irritation or swelling in the meninges, which is the membrane enveloping the brain and which does have pain receptors.
Treatments
Template:VCurrently, the only form of treatment provided is bandaging and using medical kits on colonists. Colonists assigned to the 'medical' job will attempt to treat colonists that are on medical beds.
Some note-worthy things :
- Better doctors have a better chance to treat injuries better.
- Using medical kits seems to raise the chance of treating a wound well
- Treating wounds helps reduce the chance that they will scar.
Future
- Tynan has hinted that there may be artificial limbs (potentially even cybernetic replacements) in Alpha 7.
