Antibiotics can cure husk infection in neurotrauma which makes husk surgery removal not so useful. I noticed that husk infection resistance effect (vanilla) also affecting curing husk infection with calyxanide and antibiotcs. My advice and solution to the problem:




Calyxanide "af_calyxanide" affliction from .../Xml/Afflictions must have removing husk infection ressistance effect, like this:

<Affliction name="" identifier="af_calyxanide" description="" type="resistance" isbuff="true" limbspecific="false" maxstrength="100" affectmachines="false" showiconthreshold="1000" showinhealthscannerthreshold="1000" MedicalSkillGain="0.01">
<Effect minstrength="0" maxstrength="600" strengthchange="-0.5" resistancefor="huskinfection, huskinfectionresistance" minresistance="0.99" maxresistance="0.99">
<StatusEffect target="Character" comparison="and">
<Conditional huskinfection="lt 100.0" />
<ReduceAffliction identifier="huskinfectionresistance" amount="600" />
</StatusEffect>
</Effect>
<icon texture="Content/UI/MainIconsAtlas.png" sourcerect="384,896,128,128" color="10,193,114,255" origin="0,0" />
</Affliction>





Antibiotics "afantibiotics" from neurotrauma must be also slightly edited to make it actually work. It can be done as small patch. It needs to have removed the script line "<ReduceAffliction identifier="huskinfection" amount="0.5" />", like this:

<Affliction name="" identifier="afantibiotics" description="" healableinmedicalclinic="false" targets="human" type="resistance" isbuff="true" limbspecific="false" showiconthreshold="200" showinhealthscannerthreshold="200" maxstrength="100">
<Effect minstrength="0" maxstrength="100" strengthchange="-0.5">
<StatusEffect target="Character" comparison="and">
<Conditional ishuman="true" />
---------- REMOVED LINE ----------------
<Affliction identifier="organdamage" amount="0.2" />
<Affliction identifier="kidneydamage" amount="0.175" />
<Affliction identifier="liverdamage" amount="0.175" />
<Affliction identifier="heartdamage" amount="0.1" />
<Affliction identifier="lungdamage" amount="0.1" />
</StatusEffect>
</Effect>
<icon texture="%ModDir:Neurotrauma%/Images/AfflictionIcons.png" sheetindex="3,3" sheetelementsize="128,128" origin="0,0" />
</Affliction>




After the changes, load order should look like this:

Antibiotics NT S+I patch
Neurotrauma
NT Symbiote + Husk Infection



I hope my small idea and solution will help make nt symbiote even better experience.
