Random thing I noticed while playing on a private TG station

Post by LunaticLizzie » #777242

Anybody else think it's confusing that a "severely infected" burn wound doesn't actually contain or carry any diseases?

I've been torturing Pun-Pun en masse with lasers and the one thing I perpetually notice about his charred corpses is they all accumulate "infection" descriptors, but none of them actually accumulate any diseases, on account of husks not having blood possibly? I don't code so I don't actually know why this happens the way it does.

I believe that in-game infection basically just describes the severity of a burn wound, it's an noncontagious wound infection for which the main symptoms are the escalating effects of having the burn wound I guess
mechanically it deals an escalating amount of toxic damage and gradually disables the limb, although it can't spread further than your wounded body area
if you let it get bad enough it becomes essentially unfixable without replacement
This is a preventative Forum User message to try and stop a perceived issue escalating before it ever really starts, and does not prevent the headmins from taking a different opinion and deleting my post. No formal action is being taken. No reply to this post is necessary. If you want to discuss the matter further, use forum PMs with me, but I have nothing else to say so I wouldn't waste the time.
