Image Name Description
Mouth Swab Used to take samples of diseased patients.
Diagnoser Put the used mouth swab into the machine and wait for a health report. Take the report to the Chem lab so they can create medication that you can administer to the infected patients.
Vaccinator Put a used mouth swab into the machine. Vaccines provide resistance to the disease but they do not cure it.
Bio Suit Used to stay safe from infectious diseases while also administering treatment and contaminating the outbreak.

Viruses & Diseases

INFECTIOUS
Virus Symptoms Treatment
Space Cold Itchiness, general unwell Ultravasculine/Bed rest 20 seconds
Vent Cough Coughing, burning insides Space Cleaner (janitorial)
Van Ausdall's Robovirus Beeping Beepsky Smash (drink)
AMIV Beating one's chest, monkey screeching, compulsion to steal Banana Honk (drink)
Bleeder's Bite Eaten insides Demons Blood (drink)
OwOnavirus OwO-speak Theobromine (10u) or a flamethrower (no joke)
NON-INFECTIOUS
Disease Symptoms Treatment
Ultragigacancer No symptoms seem to be present. Phalanximine (min: 15u)

UltraGigaCancer

(tags: lethal, non-infectious)

A deadly sickness that kills quickly. You will need a minimum of 15 units of Phalanximine to cure it.

OwOnavirus

(tags: lethal, infectious, only spawnable by admins)

Disease resistance: 0.25 (impossible to cure via Spaceacillin)

Spreads rapidly and causes OwO-speak. Also adds Ephedrine to the host's body, making them run faster and giving them a bit of stun resistance. The host will overdose on Ephedrine and quickly die after ~25 minutes. The containment procedure is to put on a bio-hazard suit and quarantine everyone who is infected. You need 10u of Theobromine to cure OwOnavirus.

You can develop a drug that postpones the lethal effect of OwOnavirus; meaning you will still have owo-speak, but at least you won't die! (note: you will still be contagious, so good luck outrunning sec when they start hunting the infected)


There are two ways to make such a drug:

1. Outheal the overdose damage

You would need a mix of Ultravasculine & Dexalin Plus with some Tricordrazine (to compensate for the brute damage caused by Ultravasculine). Since Ultravasculine is difficult to acquire in bulk (as a non T), this method should be used on cigars (as the amount of drug you put in there doesn't matter).

(note: if the Ephedrine buildup manages to reach the max cap of chem your body can hold, you will still die of overdose, but it would take a long time)

2. Change part of the Ephedrine in your body to Desoxyephedrine

Phosphorus, iodine, ephedrine and carbon make desoxyphedrine. If you manage to change the Ephedrine in your body to Desoxyephedrine, part of the Ephedrine would be metabolised faster (0.5/s + 0.125/s vs 0.5/s).

Unfortunately, Desoxyephedrine will cause stuttering and Poison damage. That, plus the owo-speak will almost completely remove your ability to speak comprehensibly. And since you cannot see exactly what is in your body, you need to take the medicine blind. Not a suggested method unless you know exactly what you are doing.

Space Cold

TBA

Vent Cough

(tags: non-lethal, infectious, can be waited out)

Literally just lay on a bed for 30 seconds

Van Ausdall's Robovirus

(tags: non-lethal, infectious, can be waited out)

AMIV

(tags: non-lethal, infectious, can be waited out)

Contain this illness as fast as possible as well, for not only does it spread quickly and cause chaos as the OwOnavirus, but it also can cause crime. Standard containment procedure is recommended.

Bleeder's Bite

(tags: lethal, infectious, can be waited out)

You need a cocktail of Bicardine & pulped banana peal (not TranexamicAcid) to help the patient survive.
