| − | + | <onlyinclude>[[Colonist|Colonists]] sometimes contract diseases. Diseases most often occur through random [[events]] that vary by [[Biomes|biome]] and difficulty. [[Disease#Infection|Infections]] have a random chance of developing from an [[injury]] regardless of biome.</onlyinclude> | |
| − | == | + | ==Effects== |
| − | + | Diseases cause infected colonists to suffer symptoms, which can vary from disease to disease. Diseases progress through stages of intensity until either the colonist develops immunity or the disease runs its course, usually leading to death. Diseases progression generally follows a pattern of minor -> major -> extreme. The more severe the disease, the more dramatic the symptoms. | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | ==Treatment== | |
| + | At regular intervals, a [[rest|resting]] colonist can be treated by a [[Skills#Medicine|doctor]]. This slows the progression of symptoms and for most diseases it is critical to treat the colonist as often as possible. You cannot give a new treatment until the last one has expired, and you can see the remaining time by hovering over the disease in the colonist's '''Health''' tab. The treatment interval varies for each disease. | ||
| − | + | '''Treatment Quality''' is determined by a variety of factors, including the doctor's [[skills|skill]] and the quality of [[Doctoring|medicine]] used. Progression of the disease is slowed depending on how good the treatment was. | |
| − | + | '''Immunity:''' Colonists will gradually develop immunity to potentially fatal diseases, such as wound infections or [[Disease#plague|plague]]. When immunity reaches 100%, the symptoms will not immediately disappear, but the colonist is safe and no longer needs any treatment. If the disease symptoms progress past 100% before immunity does, the colonist will die. [[Immunity Gain Speed]] is affected by the colonist's food, rest, bed quality, age, and [[blood filtration]]. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | '''Blood Filtration''' is a major factor in getting better from diseases. Poor blood filtration may result in sicknesses developing faster than they would usually. Older colonists are more susceptible to sickness than younger ones. Colonists with only one [[kidney]] have their blood filtration reduced by 50%. | |

| − | + | ==Diseases== | |
| − | + | Most diseases have the following: | |
| − | + | *General Symptoms - initial symptoms that develop in the first few days of being sick. | |
| − | + | *Advanced Symptoms - symptoms that set in when the disease progresses for any reason (e.g. being untreated or gets worse). | |
| − | + | *Treatment - some illnesses are treatable with medicine, but not all diseases are treatable, especially [[ailments|chronic diseases]]. | |

| − | + | ==Fatal diseases== | |
