Medicine is used to improve outcomes when healing colonists, is required to remove or install body parts and their replacements and to build hospital beds.

Healing is done by colonists with doctoring enabled. The patient needs to have patient enabled and be in a bed. Medicine is not required, but will improve the chance of a good treatment drastically, allow for the healing of multiple small injuries in one go and double the amount of experience gained by the doctor.

Good Treatment doubles a colonist's heal rate and reduces the chance of any lasting effect from an injury.

As doctoring greatly depends on both sight (70%) and manipulation (90%), having a doctor with bionic eyes and hands greatly improves the effectivity of your medicine.


Resource Shortage

No Medicine

Sometimes resources are scarce and treatment has to go forward without any medicine. This pretty much guarantees a bad treatment quality from any but the most experienced and/or enhanced of doctors.
