Junksteel Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Composting. It has a high decor but not very practical as it will doom the entire surroundings. I hate this plant. I had to rollback my save in hours because a Pip took a seed in oil biome and planted it inside my base. It's a pain to eliminate the contamination as you must vacuum the entire place where germs has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nakomaru Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 It gives +80 decor, the highest you can get from a plant. If you are like me and have dupes in suits 24/7 then airborne disease doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goboking Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 You can place it behind glass for some great decor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobucles Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 For the most part, it is an obstacle. The high decor is a trap to bring it into your colony and infect new victims. Not even lava can melt steel genes so the only safe disposal is to destroy it in the composter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goboking Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 This is purely speculation on my part, but I suspect they were originally intended to be sources of a fairly devastating end-game diseases. Alas, when diseases were reworked (read: neutered), symptoms like vomiting (food poisoning), death (slimelung), and zombification (zombie spores) were replaced with the inconveniences we have now. And because it's both fun and a harbinger of what might have been, here's one last look at the animation unearthed by @watermelen671. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really stinks that diseases were neutered why even have such a huge doctor tree and specific technology and recipes? Is there a mod to restore all these diseases?

goboking Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 1 hour ago, NoQuitting said: What are the worst case consequence of each disease now? Increased bathroom usage (food poisoning), Athletics penalty and coughing (slimelung), and a hefty penalty to most skills (zombie spores). The symptoms are varied, but on a meta level they all cause a decrease in productivity. 1 hour ago, NoQuitting said: It really stinks that diseases were neutered I liked it better the old way, but I understand why they made the changes they made. To the uninitiated, an outbreak of food poisoning could lead to a downward spiral resulting in a dead colony. I do wish they'd add an option to toggle severe disease symptoms for those of us who want a bit more out of the system. 1 hour ago, NoQuitting said: why even have such a huge doctor tree and specific technology and recipes? Because no colony survival game is complete with a doctor. There's still room in future updates and DLC for the healthcare/disease system to be fleshed out. 1 hour ago, NoQuitting said: Is there a mod to restore all these diseases? None that I'm aware of. The game just released a week ago, though; I imagine the community would need some time for a mod as complex as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasza22 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 The purpose of the plant is to be an obstacle, so that you think twice before recklessly mining hte oil biome. For that i think it does it`s job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
