Functional Gas Masks

[Jesse]

I also didn't find anything about this on a quick search, so I want to make a topic about it too.

 

So throughout the game you can find clothing pieces that cover your face. I feel that having a face covering should provide protection from corpse sickness depending on what the covering is. Most importantly, I feel that the gas masks you can find in this game should provide immunity to corpse sickness while they are worn. It only makes sense to me, and would boost the usefulness of gas masks when dealing with large piles of corpses.

 

Obviously a gas mask won't help you if you stand in an enclosed room with a running generator, that would be an issue of not enough oxygen. But for keeping out the flies buzzing around a pile of dead bodies? I think a gas mask should work just fine for that. I'm honestly surprised there are no mods for this already. I actually want to learn how to mod this game just to solve this.

I thought they already did that?

If they don't: Then yeah it should absolutely be changed so they protect you from corpse diseases.

They really don't. I thought they did too but nearly reaching fever levels of corpse sickness while wearing a mask proved otherwise.

Any changes on this? It's really an issue when clearing out huge hordes. Bodies everywhere and no where safe, near by. Only makes sense bandanas and gas masks would reduce this effect.

[heckerrobot]

there is a mod for that

How would a bandana work against corpse sickness? I mean, in all honesty, it won't cover and seal like a gasmask will and also too the gasmask would be 100% in vanilla terms.
