Love ... err... Germs are in the Air


Recommended Posts

I fed germy water from my sieve in the electrolyzers.  The results is a lively air in my base:

However, Food Poisoning Germs seem not to spread by air. None of my dupes got it nor any of the plants nor the food. After 3 cycles FP germs will die in gas. So I wonder if I should bother.

Can somebody confirm, that? Is it intended?

 

 

I clean my water, before i use it in electros, but everything below 10.000 germs is not important (my experience), in a standard game..
I have one used water cycle (water sieve-) toilets, sinks don't care about germs.
Most times i mix fresh with polluted and cool it down, before feeding electros.

Just use my germ polluted water in fertilizer that feed my hatch, hatch killing germs so easily

That works too, but:
1. It's expensive food
2. Coal is for me only early game energy, i like hydrogen most
3. see 1 and 2

Probably but i love my Water Autonomous Treatment Station

But you're right, i will now thinking of a room with a control door and ore scrubber to disinfect fertilizer

Using debug mode I exposed the 3 starting dupes to polluted oxygen with a food poisoning germ count of 1 billion and it didn't seem to have any effect on their immune systems, but maybe I just didn't wait long enough.

Food poisoning is only contracted by consuming food with food poisoning germs on it. I believe this is documented in-game.

Slimelung, on the other hand, is only contracted by inhaling O2 / PO2 with slimelung germs on it.

You must have another food poisoning source.  I have always feed food poisoned water to electrolyzers (up to millions in cont) and have never seen it in the air.

(You can also feed berries and wheat with food poison water with no carry over (or less than 5,000 which has no affect on dups)
