🆑 XDTM experiment: Viruses and symptoms have been havily reworked. add: Symptoms now have statistic thresholds, that give them new properties or improve their existing ones if the overall virus statistic is above the threshold. Check the pull request in github or the wiki (soon) for the full list. del: Some symptoms no longer scale linearly with stats, and instead have thresholds. tweak: The symptom limit is now 6. del: Viruses can no longer be made invisible to the Pandemic tweak: Symptoms no longer trigger with a 5% chance every second, but instead have a minimum and maximum number of seconds between each activation, making them more consistent. del: The symptoms Blood Vomit and Projectile Vomit have been removed, and are now bonuses for the base Vomit symptom. del: The Weakness symptom has been removed as it was completely useless. tweak: The Sensory Destruction symptom has been reworked into Narcolepsy, which causes drowsiness and sleep. tweak: Viral Aggressive Metabolism now has a timer before it starts decaying the virus. It scales with the highest between Resistance or Stage Speed. add: You can now neuter symptoms, making them inactive. They will still affect stats. Adding formaldehyde to a virus will neuter a random symptom. A bottle of formaldehyde starts in the virus fridge. /🆑 Full list of threshold bonuses: Facial Hypertrichosis - None Choking Stage Speed 8 : Acts more often Stealth 4: Suppresses early warnings Acute respiratory distress syndrome Stage Speed 8: Adds paralyzing chems (removed from base version) Infect 8: Stronger damage Confusion Stealth 4: Suppresses early warnings Resistance 6: Also deals some brain damage, not above 80 Infect 6: Stronger confusion Cough If AIRBORNE: Coughing causes a spread at range 1 Resistance 3: Coughing drops small items (removed from base) Resistance 10: Can cause coughing fits that stun briefly Speed 6: Increases cough frequency Deafness Stealth 4: Suppresses early warnings Resist 9: Deafness is permanent instead of temporary Dizziness Stealth 4: Suppresses early warnings Infect 6: Also adds the druggy effect Fever Resist 5: Heats more, can go above the damage threshold Resist 10: Heats even more per activation Shiver Speed 5: Cools more, can go below the damage threshold Speed 10: Cools even more Spontaneous Combustion Stealth 4: Suppresses early warnings Speed 5: Increases fire stacks and damage Speed 10: Increases fire_stacks and damage even more Infect 8: Spreads the virus when igniting Alkali Perspiration Resist 9: Increases time between ignitions but increases power as well Speed 8: Doubles the explosion range when wet Infect 8: Also adds napalm and clf3 (removed from base version) Necrotizing Fasciitis Resist 7: Causes extra bleeding Infect 8: Deals additional stamina damage Autophagocytosis Necrosis Stealth 5: Suppresses early warnings Speed 7: Adds Heparin and Lipolicide (removed from base version) [PROPOSED REQUESTING APPROVAL] Infect 13: Adds romerol, turning the victim into a zombie on death. DNA Saboteur Stealth 5: DNA won't reset after curing Speed 10: Increases mutation frequency Resist 8: Mutate twice instead of once Hallucigen Stealth 4: Suppresses early warnings, and gives off the messages of positive symptoms instead Speed 7: Stronger hallucinations Headache Stealth 4: Reduces early message frequency Speed 6: Deals some stamina damage when headaching Speed 9: Reduces frequency, headaches are strong enough to stun Healing Symptoms Stealth 4: Hides the overlay when healing Speed 7: Increases healing rate Speed 15: Further increases healing rate Itching Infect 6: Increases frequency Speed 7: Itching causes scratching, dealing minor brute damage (0.5) Narcolepsy Infect 7: Deals stamina damage when it triggers Resistance 10: Triggers more often Self-Respiration Resist 8: Regenerates blood Sensory Restoration Resist 6: Also heals brain damage (removed from base) Infect 8: Also purges alcohol (removed from base) Sneezing Infect 9: Increases spread range Stealth 4: Suppresses early warnings Hyphema Stealth 4: Suppresses early warnings [REQUESTING APPROVAL] Resist 13: Eyes fall off instead of just being blinded Voice Change Stealth 3: Suppresses early warnings Speed 7: Changes voice fater [REQUESTING APPROVAL] Infect 14: Changes the infectee's language along with the voice Vomit Stealth 4: Suppresses early warnings Resist 7: Blood Vomit Infect 7: Projectile Vomit Unlisted symptoms do not have threshold bonuses! All balance is not final, i'll tweak the numbers as necessary. Why Threshold bonuses: The reasoning behind these is that they feel more rewarding and impactful than simple number scaling, and gives the option to dedicate symptom space to more symptoms or to upgrade a few central ones instead. Symptom activation change: the intention behind this is RNG consistency and ease of balance. Currently all symptoms have a 5% chance of activate with few exceptions, making it complicated to tweak. Neutering: Upgrading positive symptoms by putting a ton of negative ones doesn't work well, in my opinion, especially when they'll trigger their own thresholds making the virus somewhat dangerous instead. Neutering allows players to sidestep that, but i recognize that it swings a bit too far on the other side of the risk/reward balance. I plan on finding a better system to manage virus statistics in the future.
