## About The Pull Request God, alright, here we go. See HackMD here: https://hackmd.io/@Higgin/HJljdBuNp Alternative proposal to #79849 addressing the big problems with virology. ~~If you need a HackMD for it, I'll put one together, but I made a comment on that PR and can make it pretty simple here.~~ its done 1. Makes viruses eventually self-cure as long as you're alive. If you can keep somebody from dying, they can develop immunity. 2. Makes it so you can sleep comfortably and be well-fed to slow and even potentially defeat viruses without a cure. 3. Makes it so more dangerous viruses can start self-curing faster. This means Space Ebola is going to burn itself out quicker if a person stays alive from the other effects. 4. Makes spaceacillin helpful in naturally curing viruses, period, but with declining effectiveness over 100 cycles. 5. Makes it so curing a virus naturally without being well-fed or having rode it out from the peak may allow you to be reinfected/not have natural immunity. 6. Makes it so being well-fed is a much stronger protection against random virus spread. 7. Makes it so bypasses_immunity stuff like fungal TB and heart failure isn't subject to any of this. 8. Makes it so using ~~antibiotics~~ spaceacillin jesus christ or being malnourished can make you lose your healing viruses too. Pay attention to what you put in your body. 9. ** Makes it so blood can ~~transmit resistances again, not just vaccines. It's been a hot minute, but it used to work like this.~~ blood now can cure a virus if the donor has a resistance, but it doesn't confer lasting immunity. You need to overcome the virus yourself, carry a constant supply of pure blood, or get a vaccine to get a lasting fix. 10. ** makes severity a function of disease stats and all active symptoms - not just the highest severity of the active symptoms. 11. ** makes it so you can nosell symptoms firing with spaceacillin or resting down to a minimum chance of cure_chance to avoid symptoms each cycle, declining over time, over 100 cycles for a given disease. 12. ** makes it so wearing protective equipment prevents you from spreading respiratory-spread diseases normally - not just on the cough/sneezing symptoms. 13. ** gives MDs virology access standard, paramedics and coroners virology access on skeleton crew. virologists also get pharmacy access. 14. ** makes bypasses_immunity advanced diseases always override non-bypasses_immunity advanced diseases and resist being overridden by other advanced diseases. Sentient Disease now has bypasses_immunity. Sentient Disease fans rejoice! 15. ** also gives SD a buffer of extra stealth points so it has a bit longer to build up instead of almost uniformly getting spotted and dying early. 16. ** viruses now scale their severity as a function of their max symptoms. There's a lot more room to get viruses of varying duration and severity by adding fewer symptoms now - so creating a tradeoff between stats (and good thresholds) and the duration of your virus. 17. ** a whole bunch of defines to control all of this stuff - most recently added a multiplier for symptom appearance frequency. MAJOR UPDATES: REBALANCING TOWARDS 50% LETHALITY https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQ8rqMYFsR1mYj_FGzVjTfcnAF7un-VofOByPxcCCQr6lOOF5fhUgZga0oA4Q5-7K4hr7fCV0jFdmd9/pubhtml# [Viro Rework Rebalance Tests.pdf](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/files/13447208/Viro.Rework.Rebalance.Tests.pdf) After a shitload of testing, makes some of the most reliable, transmissible killers into less-reliable threats. See the above graphs and pictures for demonstrations of exactly how this was tested and done. ## Why It's Good For The Game It sucks to be hard-stuck to needing chemistry and medical to deal with viruses that somebody can randomly blast out without a care in the world, then be left to sit around waiting to die or otherwise be unable to do anything as the max-level symptoms fire off on repeat. This should put curing and surviving viruses much more back in the hands of normal crew without always ending up at the chemistry front window, although that is still the fastest and most reliable way to get better. This also nerfs healing viruses a bit, or makes them a bit less fire-and-forget if you fail to attend to your body. There's more I'd like to do in the future and potentially some of the other classic viruses that could use bypasses_immunity added, values tweaked, but for now - this seems like the best way to preserve virology as a level of depth and complexity in the game in a way that rewards people doing intuitive things to counterplay it when used harmfully. This also puts more of the mid-range bad symptoms into a better place balance-wise because the worst ones pretty much only fire at max stages. With the way this works out, you bounce back and forth between the max stage and lower stages before, over time, trending towards a cure. Symptoms that provide more significant effects at lower stages now have a place that isn't totally overshadowed by the killdeath stage 5 ARDS + junk symptoms virus Dr. Ambatu Popov shat out in five minutes (as long as you survive the initial run-in with it.) ## Changelog 🆑 balance: most diseases can now be slowed, mitigated, and eventually cured through being well-fed, resting, and using spaceacillin. Curing diseases through this way will give you immunity if you experience them at their peak/maximum and aren't starving/malnourished when they cure. balance: disease symptoms can be forestalled for up to 100 cycles with a declining chance of avoiding them over time using rest or spaceacillin. balance: This does not apply to things like fungal TB; it does apply to healing viruses if you don't take care of yourself by staying fed and avoiding spaceacillin. balance: disease can be cured through direct injection or ingestion of cured blood. However, curing disease in this way does not provide lasting immunity. You need to naturally beat the virus or get a vaccine for that. balance: Wearing internals or using protective equipment while infected can limit the spread of respiratory illnesses from yourself to others. Contact transmission is still possible however. balance: Medical Doctors now have roundstart virology access. Paramedics and coroners now get virology access on skeleton shift access. Virologists now have roundstart pharmacy access. balance: Sentient Diseases now resist being overridden by other advanced diseases and can always override other advanced diseases; they also have an extra bonus on their stealth stat to help make up for early outing without a bit more testing. balance: biohazard lockers now also contain a syringe of spaceacillin (in line with the orderable kit from cargo.) balance: Virus severity is now also a function of the number of symptoms out of max your virus has. Experiment with different combinations using less than six symptoms to make viruses that are deceptively less-obvious and less quick to self-cure at the tradeoff of stats. /🆑
