The crew of the Daedalus, being (mostly) human, is susceptible to a myriad of Illnesses, a type of negative status which closely interfaces with the game's Health system. Illnesses are divided into three types; physiological
Diseases, psychological
Disorders and physical
Injuries. The
Mush are immune to all but injuries.
The distinction between the three types of Illness is as follows;
Diseases are caused by germs, viruses, parasites and the like, generally resulting from unsanitary conditions. Visiting Swamp, Forest or Insect zones during an expedition, eating hazardous foodstuffs like
Alien Steaks and alien fruit, doing the thing with a diseased partner, and the misfortune of randomly getting sick are ways to attain a disease. There is also a small chance that a disease spreads by air if infected person walks into a room with other people. Diseases typically come with an array of symptoms such as Vomiting and affect
Health and
. Diseases can be cured using the
Medikit, certain medicines the effects of which are randomised in each game or, rarely, by the passing of time.
Disorders are largely caused by the stresses of the mission, i.e. Panic Attacks or seeing people die in front of you, and mainly affect your max
Morale or forbid you from doing certain actions, while situationally featuring various disturbing symptoms. These are cured by lying down in a room containing a
Shrink for several cycles, or by specific randomized medicines and alien fruit.
Injuries are caused almost entirely by either being successfully attacked or failing an attack,and hurting yourself in the process. They're also the only Illnesses that effect
Mush, as they still inhabit fragile, human bodies. Injuries are largely statuses which affect
Health and
, but also give other nasty effects which severely limit what a character can do. While not always noted in the in-game description, injuries also reduce the character's Max.
, an effect which increases in severity the larger the number of injuries gets. Injuries are remedied via Surgery, which is performed with the Surgical Pod in Medlab, or via DIY Surgery (the latter being more
intensive). Outside of the Medlab, a
Medic can perform surgery anywhere if they hold the
Medikit.
Diseases
These are physical illnesses, often affecting
and
.
Diseases can be cured using the
Medikit, certain medicines the effects of which are randomised in each game, or rarely by the passing of time.
AP loss from Consume actions occurs before you gain AP from a consumable.
Most diseases have a small chance to spread by air if the diseased person enters a room with other people.
They display a
Private log that says:
TODO: There's a standard private log that says something like: Hot...Cold...Hot...Cold... You should see a doctor, it seems you have contracted: <illness>. Please, add it if you can, or I will do when I remember.
| Status | Cure |
Cause | Details | In-game Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
You are bringing food back up. It is unpleasant and irritating.
| |||
|
|
Fairly benign, but persistent, the Black Bite is a recent syndrome which nobody knows much about. | ||
|
|
Picking up the cat will cause:
|
Even the sight of a cat provokes uncontrollable sneezing and hives. Contact with the beast could prove deadly...
| |
|
|
Don't go out without your Kleenex | ||
|
There's a constant high whistling in your ears, which can become really tiring really quickly. | |||
|
|
Every cycle:
|
Severe variant of pony flu ... Irritable, authoritarian, headaches, cold, aches, nothing is spared. Be careful not to leave it lying around, you never know
| |
|
You are really weak, you're vomiting, it's everywhere. What on earth were you thinking when you ate this? Well done... | |||
|
|
What is this disgusting thing... You should get it seen to quickly... It's itchy, it's festering, and it stinks. Every cycle, makes you dirty. | ||
|
|
Do you need a diagram? A good whiff of the smell? Churning stomach?
| ||
|
|
It's not as if it wasn't fresh... | ||
|
|
A particularly tenacious heavy migraine is harassing the patient at the moment, but it will eventually go away... | ||
|
You will occasionally sneeze when entering a room with one or more Mush,it cannot be triggered by an infected Schrödinger nor a Mush entering the room. |
Contact with Mush gives you horrible, painful blisters. | ||
|
Your body is emitting a pulsing green light. This doesn't exactly encourage a good night's sleep... | |||
|
|
Headaches, dry pustules, extremely tired. You should make it through. | ||
|
|
Public contraction log (surgery): The surgery seemed to last an eternity....<name> is in septic shock... Public incomplete healing log: <healer> has made progress in curing <name> of their disease, but the treatment must continue. |
You have a serious infection. It's not going to be easy to recover from this. It's highly unlikely you'll make it... | |
|
|
Your sinuses are on fire, frozen, then makes you want to tear your head off. It's bad and it won't go away... | ||
|
|
|
Wherever it came from, you've got it. It's incredibly itchy and really irritating.
| |
|
|
You feel a little bit shady... It will pass, but you're not hungry anymore and you shouldn't go anywhere near bluuuuuurppp...
| ||
|
|
An illness irradicated from Sol but which is apparently thriving elsewhere. As enticing as it sounds, you should probably get help... | ||
|
|
You've got rabies. You are prone to violent outbursts but it’s the disease that will end up killing you. | ||
|
|
A venereal disease of the highest order, your frightful countenance and the rumors surrounding you get pretty old pretty quickly. Still a bit of a Don Juan though, aren't you... | ||
|
|
You are hungry. Really hungry. All the time... Let's eat for God's sake man!
| ||
|
Deficiencies of vitamins, elements, oligo-elements and the list goes on. You have enough on your plate without this... | |||
|
Disorders
These are Psychological illnesses, often affecting
.
Disorders can be cured by
Shrink treatment (more details on the skill page) and certain medicines, the effects of which are randomised in each game.
