Suggestion type
Item + Skill

Suggestion scope
Survivors, Zombies

Suggestion description
Adds a new item to Hospitals/Infirmaries, called "Sterilisation Kit" (15% encumberance, in Hospitals for 5% base rate and Infirmaries at a 3% base rate). This item, when combined with the new Scientist Skill "Sterilisation Training", can be used to create sterilised rooms in non-ruined buildings, so that they can offer the +5 HP boost of Surgery (so long as the building has power).

However, everytime the bonus is utilised there is a 25% chance that the sterile room will be contaminated, and will need another sterilisation kit to once again acquire the bonus.

Zombies can ransack the sterile room no matter how many survivors are inside, and will gain 6 XP for such an action.

AP cost for sterilising the room is normally 1 AP, however in the case of factories, warehouses, junkyards and auto repairs which are dirtier than most buildings the cost is 2 AP. Also, as the kit is only capable of sterilising small rooms, it cannot be used in malls, as there is no room small enough, whereas in the other large buildings (mansions, power stations, cathedrals etc.) there are smaller side rooms for such actions. In the case of a large building, only the corner where the kit was used will have the sterile room.

The flavour text would be:

• Searching the rooms, you find enough cleaning supplies to form a sterilisation kit.
• You use the kit to sterilise [a side room/an office/The nurses' office/a bathroom/one of the labs], ready to use for medical procedures.
• [One of the rooms/One of the offices/The nurses' office/One of the bathrooms/One of the labs] has been sterilised.
• You tear into the sterile room, contaminating it.
• During the procedure, the room becomes contaminated. It will need another cleaning.
• A zombie contaminated the sterile room.
• [Name of survivor] sterilised a room.

Keep Votes

1. Author Vote - This page's existence is my reasoning. --Blake Firedancer ^{T E RNL? P.I.S.I.T.} 11:56, 30 June 2009 (BST)

Kill Votes

1. Kill - Survivor healing abilities are already overpowered. Being able to make an NT/Hospital in one building is too much.--

2. Weak Kill/Change - Make it so that instead of the 2Ap it's 1Ap, then a second AP afterwards. That way, some bloke can start it, and another can finish it. Also, this is fairly one sided.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 14:44, 30 June 2009 (BST)
3. Kill - Despite the, quite frankly, gay flavour, I was going to vote keep on this because I thought it was a nice idea, but it is just too imbalanced. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 15:00, 30 June 2009 (BST)
4. Kill - Healing needs no further boosts. --Johnny Bass 16:03, 30 June 2009 (BST)
5. Kill - Would have little use as a lot of survivors have the surgery skill and those that don't wouldn't go to the effort - Zig13 - 30/06/2009 at 16:34(BST)
6. Kill - As above. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 16:50, 30 June 2009 (BST)
7. Kill - As above with healing needing no further boosts.--SirArgo ^Talk 16:53, 30 June 2009 (BST)
8. I had said in the discussion not to include NTs. In fact I suggested just picking a handful of the most "appropriate" buildings.--Pesatyel 02:28, 1 July 2009 (BST)
9. Kill - Leave it to hospitals. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 02:40, 1 July 2009 (BST)
10. Kill - I don't see the need for this, and the word sterilization gives me the heebie-jeebies. --dgw 02:41, 1 July 2009 (BST)

Voting Rules

Current Suggestions Advice to Suggesters Adding options to your suggestion is not good practice. Others will not vote on the options, only the main body; please don't ask them to do so. Once you have posted your suggestion, it is considered complete. Altering the suggestion mechanics after voting has begun nullifies existing votes, and is considered an abuse of the suggestions system. Doing so will result in your suggestion being removed from the voting system to removed suggestions, where you can work out the details and resubmit later if you desire. It is preferred that you remove your own suggestion and resubmit a new version with changes, if changes are needed. "Notes" added for clarification purposes, and correcting spelling/typos are permitted. When considering adding a clarification note, it is often better for all parties involved, for the author to remove the suggestion and resubmit it with the clarification included for the voters who have already placed their votes. Advice to Voters You are voting on Suggestions, not Users. The text of your vote should not personally attack or denigrate the user who has submitted it... no matter how ridiculous the idea. Flaming and/or Trolling will not be tolerated. Before voting please read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots and Frequently Suggested Ideas Page to read about concepts that have been generally considered unworkable in the past. You do not need to follow the guidelines on these pages but they are worth consideration before casting a vote. One vote per user. No exceptions. You cannot use multiple wiki accounts to vote on a suggestion. To Vote, use the [edit] button at the top of the voting section, then enter your vote in the the proper format to the end of the relevant section (keep/kill/spam). It is strongly recommended that voters (especially in the kill/spam sections) justify their vote to help others understand the reason they disagree. Feedback helps new suggesters get a feel for what the community does and does not want included in Urban Dead, and a deeper understanding of the balance needed for a workable suggestion. Votes must include a signature in order to be considered valid votes. To sign a vote, use --~~~~. Please remember to sign your votes! Unsigned votes will be deleted after 30 minutes or when found. Each Suggestion will be open to voting for two (2) weeks, measured from the suggestion's Timestamp, unless it is a Dupe or Spam. If, at the end of that time, there are two thirds (2/3) more Keep votes than Kill votes, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Reviewed Suggestions page. Otherwise, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Rejected Suggestions page.

Rules for Discussions Votes are NOT the place to discuss Suggestions. This page and archived suggestion pages only to be used for the Suggesting and subsequent Voting of these suggestions. If you wish to discuss the suggestion or vote here, please use this page's Talk page (Suggestion talk:20090630 Sterilise). Suggestions do not have to be submitted in order to discuss them. Developing Suggestions can be used to workshop possible suggestions before they are submitted.

Valid Votes Keep, for Suggestions that you believe have merit. Kill, for Suggestions that you believe do not have merit. If you need to discuss a rule fix, use the discussion page. Spam, for the most ridiculous suggestions. Suggestions can be removed with Spam votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks. Spam votes are not a "strong kill", they are simply here to prevent the utterly ridiculous from clogging up the system. If you do not like the idea, and it's not some crazy uber power or something else ridiculous, VOTE KILL, NOT SPAM. Spam votes will be counted as Kill when votes are tallied. Dupe, for Suggestions that are exact or very close duplicates of previous suggestions. For a Dupe vote to be valid, a link must be provided to the original suggestion. Dupe votes can be used to remove suggestions as described on the cycling suggestions page. Dupe votes will not be counted when votes are tallied. Humourous, for suggestions that are obviously intended to be satirical, or of comedic value only.}} Suggestions can be removed with Humourous votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks.

Invalid Votes Server Load and Programming Complexity are NOT very good Kill reasons. You are voting on the merit of the suggestion and whether or not you think it belongs in the game. Server load/complexity issues are up to Kevan to decide. X should be implemented first is not a valid reason for a vote. You are voting on the merit of THIS suggestion, not how it compares to others. Votes that do not have reasoning behind them are invalid. You MUST justify your vote.

Comments Re may be used to comment on a vote. Only the original author and the person being REd can comment. Comments are restricted to a single comment per vote, and it is expected that Re comments be as short as possible. Reing every kill vote is considered abuse of the Re comment. A Re does not count as a vote, and any subsequent discussion not part of the Re comment should be held on the discussion page if there is any extended commenting. Note is used by System Operators to invalidate trolling-based votes. Only Sysops may remove troll-based votes and they do so with a strikeout <s></s> in order to preserve the trolling removal for posterity. The voter may contest the strikeout with the Sysop that struck their vote out on the discussion page. Only a System Operator may remove a strikeout.

All Caps Try to avoid YELLING, writing in bold, or using italics, except when emphasizing a point which has escaped other voters.
