The biggest update yet: medicine is no longer just for you.
## The Clinic – Dose Anything That Lives
The pharmacology engine now runs on **any living creature**. Right-click a mob,
villager, or another player with a syringe or syrup to administer it or let a
**Create Deployer** run your ward automatically. Patients follow the exact same
rules you do: effects, side effects, tolerance, and fatal overdoses.
– **Sedate hostiles** – enough sedative or opioid plasma calms a mob
(deaggro + slowdown); a heavy dose leaves it nearly motionless
– **Cure zombie villagers with antibiotics** – keep one above an antibiotic’s
active threshold and the conversion begins, no golden apple required
– **No free wins** – overdose your patient and organ strain will kill it
## Functional PPE
– New **Lab Gloves** (leggings slot) complete the four-piece lab set
– Every worn piece reduces side-effect chance – goggles count double, the
full set blocks ~42% of procs
– Full set softens crash effects by 25% when doses wear off
– **Failed Sludge is now caustic** – carry it bare-handed and it stings;
glove up
– The whole set is finally **craftable** (it was creative-only)
## New Dose Forms
– **Pill Bottle** – packaging machine seals 8 pills + a glass vial into a
bulk bottle; right-click dispenses, the empty bottle returns its vial
– **Transdermal Patch** *(WIP)* – brand-new dose form with the slowest absorption in
the game (0.4× a pill): a long, flat, gentle plasma curve
## 12 New Compounds
– **Sedatives:** Zolpidem, Phenobarbital, Temazepam, Somnorest
– **Antihistamines:** Cetirizine, Loratadine, Promethazine
– **Antitussives:** Benzonatate, Tussivex
– **3 legendary syntheses** hidden behind secret fragment combinations:
**Somnex**, **Ironhide**, and **Phoenixol**
## Custom Sounds
16 new sound events: pill swallow, bottle rattle, syringe,
inhaler puff, blister pop, syrup gulp, patch apply, IV drip, five machine
ambience loops that pitch up with shaft speed, a racing-heart overdose warning,
a discovery chime, and a synthesis-fail fizzle.
## Minor Bug Fixes
– Packager now remembers coated pills, so pills inside a bottle or blister pack won’t come out as uncoated pills.
