Compatibility patch between One With Death and Dubs Bad Hygiene.
Effects
- Undead are exempt from hygiene, bladder, and thirst needs (they're dead)
- Necromancers with FamiliarWithDeath or OneWithDeath are exempt from bladder and thirst
- OneWithDeath necromancers are also exempt from hygiene
- Adds hygiene decay rate modifiers for necromancer progression stages until exempt (stench of death)
This patch works regardless of DBH's "Override Need Definitions" setting being enabled.
Optional Enhancement (Settings Menu)
Enable "Necromancer Progression Effects" for a more immersive experience:
- Gradual stat/need changes through progression stages
- Matches lore descriptions (UnfamiliarWithDeath now actually reduces hunger/rest as stated)
- Pain resistance, toxic immunity, temperature tolerance, consciousness, learning, psychic sensitivity all gradually increase instead of only changing upon One with Death
- Movement speed and melee improvements at higher stages
- DBH integration: hygiene decays faster, bladder/thirst fade with other biological needs
- Bladder/thirst are not completely disabled until One with Death in this mode.
- Accelerated aging: body decays faster as it embraces death (10% → 20% → 40% → disabled as lich)
Note: This setting is OFF by default. Changing it requires restarting RimWorld (XML-based patches).
Debug Actions
Also includes debug actions for testing necromancy states (merged into OWD's debug menu):
- Set Unfamiliar/Familiar With Death
- Make Lich (One With Death)
- Promote/Demote Necromancy Rank
- Clear Necromancy State
Requirements
Load after both One With Death and Dubs Bad Hygiene.
