1. Core Vitals Engine & Toxicity System

Player biology is tracked in real-time across four continuous parameters:

Body Temperature (34.0°C – 41.0°C):

Standard baseline is 37.0°C.

Dynamic environmental feedback: Dropping below 35.0°C induces shivering and Hypothermia. Exceeding 38.5°C triggers fever, exhaustion, and Heatstroke.

Immune System (0% – 100%):

Represents natural disease resistance.

High immunity wards off environmental contagions. Low immunity (<40%) dramatically increases vulnerability to infections and slows down natural healing.

Drug Toxicity (0 – 100+ points):

Medications are double-edged swords. Powerful Western pharmaceuticals spike liver toxicity (+15 to +28), Eastern brews add moderate toxicity (+8 to +15), and raw herbs add minimal toxicity (+2 to +3).

Toxicity Tiers:

> 45 pts (Mild): Liver strain, slowness, and slight nausea.

> 75 pts (Severe): Acute chemical intoxication, continuous poison damage, and sharp reduction in maximum health.

100 pts (Fatal): Immediate anaphylactic shock and death!

Detoxification: Toxicity slowly decays over time, or can be flushed rapidly by drinking Fresh Milk Buckets (-35 pts) or Purified Boiled Water (-20 pts).
