That`s a thing i think they should tackle in the balance updates later.

rehaul of food poisoning would be nice but another disease would be nicer

like you could use the germ overlay as a vector for diseases that affect critters or even machinery

could you imagine a disease that slowly chews through your wiring network if left alone? Brought to your base by some metal you got from space

You have to be desperately negligent or playing on a high difficulty to ever have a food poisoning problem tbh, the whole food posioning disease looks like one big tutorial for the germ system

That pretty much explains most of the negative comments I receive when I post builds on sanitizing food poisoning germs.  Players who like to play on easy settings get confused on WHY killing germs is important

yeah you're dying from a sip of stale water while we're all just eating dirt straight from the compost heap like kings

On the subject of purposely infecting Dupes with Food Poisoning, isn't the fastest way to use contaminated water for the Water Cooler or Espresso Machine?  It's really easy to build massive quantities of Germs in a large tank of polluted water, which you then take directly through the Water Sieve into the Espresso Machine.

This is like an auschwitz prisoner experiment lol.

Also the game is much more fun when you put immunity (germs) on max difficulty. Germs don't do anything otherwise. And you actually get to use the medical buildings.
