How Mk desease work ?

[augustinoi]

I'm seeing how this disease upgrades its work and it's tougher. no dups it's getting food poisoning most any time and I do not do anything different so the doc need do work a lot. another thing is there a bunch of medicaments and i don't know what I need to use, because they use subjective explanation.

Bristle Blossom and Buddy Bud emit Floral Scents that cause allergies to dupes with "Allergies" trait.

After the update there is a new plant, Sporechid, that emits Zombie Spores that can cause "The Spores" disease.

Is anyone else confused about the "Mk" in the title?

1. Dupe gets infected by germs by breathing or eating stuff (both routes work for all diseases now)
2. Infected dupe wakes up (usually after sleep shift, but also narcoleptic, tired etc.)
3. Infection roll is made. Affected by disease itself (30% for slime and poisoning, 90% for spores), disease difficulty, vitamins and dupe vulnerability. Dupe gains the illness or not.
4. Dupe loses the infected status regardless of whether illness takes hold or not

There might be some threshold mechanic regarding the infected status, but I wasn't able to decipher it. So far it looks like single whiff of infected air or bite of infected food is instant infection.

Infection doesn't have an amount or power. A dupe is either totally unaffected, infected by germs or completely ill.

I'm pretty sure he meant "QOL MK III" and omitted the additional words. There are a fair number of missing words in his post as well, but it's possible to deduce the meaning. I'm assuming it's English as a second language, and thus I'm not judging, since my own language skills are terrible.

As an added tidbit, the Sporechid is found in the oil biome. You generally don't need to worry about it early on unless you really go ham digging downward early on.

Apparently below 100 germs consumed it does nothing. Also germs only matter in breathable air. Dupes can`t breathe hydrogen so slimelung in it won`t infect them.

edit: reloading fixed it

I found the zombie spores but couldn't figure out how they spawn without sporechid. I see crude oil, petroleum, carbon dioxide don't effect it and water, pulluted water kills it. What spawns it?

Quality of Life Upgrade Mk III

[Yunru]

Yes, it's the mark three upgrade. But just saying "Mk" is like asking how a programme works, without giving a specific programme.
