Illnesses: Illnesses (Diseases, Disorders and Injuries plus Symptoms) has it's own page now! However, as this is entwined with Health, it's necessary to also post this here. Symptoms now has its own table, but there are still other problems, such as;
-A massive need to make all of the tables uniform in the width/size of each category!
-A general need to fill out all tables and add in information regarding the details, causes, in-game description/effect (including fluff room logs) etc, and confirm entries. Bugs relating to Illnesses should be put in the details column with the correct notice!
-While Symptoms has it's own table, this table could really do with restructuring into Symptom/Cause/Details/In-game Effect, where Symptom names them, Cause lists the related diseases/disorders/injuries, Details describes the actual effects and any related bugs, In-game Effect is for the fluff room logs that a symptom may create.

To those editing sections of this article that require original entries, e.g. description of the effects of a symptom, please use clear and concise language that is unambiguous and easy to understand!

Please help with the aforementioned problems and then remove this notice!

The deep dark space through which the good ol' Daedalus and its crew of Humans and Mush travels through, and what it contains, is unequivocally dangerous. Some of these dangers manifest themselves in the myriad 'Illnesses that the crew will invariably suffer during their time as the saviours of the universe as we know it. Illnesses are a class of negative status which are an artifact of the game's Health system. Illnesses are divided up into three distinctive types, Physiological Icon Diseases, Psychological Icon Disorders and plain old Icon Injuries. The distinction between the three types of Illness are so;

  • Physiological Diseases are caused by germs, viruses, parasites and the like, coming from working in unsanitary conditions Such as Swamp, Forest or Insect Zones during an Expedition, eating improperly prepared food Such as various Alien Fruits and Alien Steaks, or by random chance on a cycle change. Most common of all they give the Vomiting Symptom and assorted chances to lose Action Point and Health Point, along with other problems. They can be cured if your Medlab contains the appropriate medicines if the RNG deigned to be so kind, or by the use of Healing or Self-Healing by a healer holding a Icon Medikit or located in the Medlab. There is also a small chance for a subset of diseases to cure themselves, though this is unreliable.
  • Psychological Disorders are largely caused by the stresses of the mission i.e. seeing people die in front of you, and largely effect the Morale stat along with providing situational Symptoms that can be a large pain in the ass. These are cured by lying down in a room containing a Icon Shrink for several cycles, or by a specific pill.
  • Injuries, unlike Disorders and Diseases, are caused almost entirely by Player on Player combat, be it a self-inflicted accident or successful attack. They're also the only Illnesses that effect Mush, as though they do not have immune systems or Morale to worry about, they still inhabit human bodies, which are prone to things getting broken. Injuries are largely statuses which affect Health Point and Action Point, but also give other nasty effects which severely limit what a player can do before they get them themselves healed in the Medlab with DIY Surgery, which has a risk of failing, or by a player with the Icon Medic skill who is located in the Medlab or is holding the Icon Medikit. While not always noted in the in-game description, they also reduce the Max Health Point of a player, an effect which increases in severity the larger the number of Injuries.

Diseases

These are physical illnesses, often affecting Health Point and Action Point.

Diseases can be cured using the Icon Medikit, certain medicines the effects of which are randomised in each game, or rarely by the passing of time.
