Soulwind Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 My clean water tank got contaminated with food poison germs. I know I could heat it up and clear out the germs, but it got me to thinking. Is using germy water really so bad? The dupes don't seem to mind for shower, sink, and lavatory. Does it poison the food when used to water plants or the air when sent into an electrolyzer? What about the supercomputer? And lastly what about slimelung germs? It's never being directly consumed in cooking or anything.

old_fantom Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 As far as I know, it only matters for farming and food manufactured, but not cooked. Liceloaf and the mud pies are not cooked and will make you sick Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/87512-germ-filled-water-effects/#findComment-1003316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanoD Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Food poisoning only matters if you are cooking. Slimelung matters a little when used for electrolyzer. It will get out in air that dupes can breath. But dont think it should be that harmful, at least if you dont use custom game with lower immunity.

Food poisoning can be introduced in an eletrolyzer but luckily it literally can’t harm dupes when it is airborne and the food posioning dies pretty fast out of an eletrolyzer as well.

It's never being directly consumed in cooking or anything. Well this kinda happened in one of my colonies as well and I got mixed results... First it seemed that it was having an effect and like two of my dupes got down to 30% immunity. Then I switched away from using the micro-musher and I built a proper kitchen and the problem solved itself... Its at the point where I've set my base up to reuse water if my water tank started to run hot...no mater if it has food poisoning...and I still have 100% health in all my dupes... Slimelung is a bit more deadly however and I recommend avoiding it as I've lost a few dupes to the disease in some of my previous bases Edit: if you're really concerned, food poisoning is weak against food that's been pickled, like pickled meal lice Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/87512-germ-filled-water-effects/#findComment-1003367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
