Plaster Caster

The Plaster Caster is a Treatment machine, used only in the Fracture Ward by a Nurse to cure patients with a multitude of illnesses. It is first made available in Tumble.

Appearance
The main body of the Plaster Caster is a tall trapezoidal box in light grey. A smaller matching section on the front features a vertically-retracting metal door. On either side of this can be found a orange curved bar and a smaller red one to guard against the buzz saw blades that are used to remove casts. On the left-hand side are the controls, consisting of a red button, a green button and two switches. On the right-hand side is a bulbous piece of equipment in dark grey and red, held to the body by two red pipes, upon which is found a roll of bandages and a grey top with a yellow and black circular symbol.

Function
The Plaster Caster is a Treatment Machine required for the Fracture Ward to function. Patients with certain Illnesses for the Fracture Ward will arrive with no bandages or casts, and require a visit to the Plaster Caster to receive them upon arrival. They will enter the machine, which will close behind them. The bandages mounted on the machine will sink into the dispenser below, the machine will place them on the patient inside, and they will emerge ready for a stay in a Traction Bed.

Upon completion of their stay, all patients will require a visit to the Plaster Caster to have their wrappings removed. They will enter the machine, and when the door closes behind them, the buzz saw blades will move inside, up and down, and remove the casts, leaving the patient to emerge from the machine free and clear, their treatment completed.

Maintenance
The Plaster Caster loses 5-10% of its maintenance gauge with each use. Once the gauge falls below 50%, a Janitor will automatically be called to repair it. A janitor can be summoned manually by the player by pressing the appropriate button.

Should the maintenance gauge fall below 15%, the machine will catch fire. A janitor will need to use an Extinguisher to put this out before the gauge reaches zero; if it is allowed to do so, the machine will explode, leaving wreckage which must be sold and replaced with a new machine before the room can resume functioning.

Staff
The following Staff is required before the Fracture Ward, and by extension the Plaster Caster, will function correctly:
