[SOLDIER First]

I remember once having to savescum about ten times to save my colony from two megaspiders and three of the scarab things who wandered over from their hive. It was FUN[TM].

[Akura]

Another hive popped up much closer to town, that got walled off immediately. Shortly thereafter something happened to the first hive, and the megaspiders decided to say hi to my turkeys. Lost half the flock and most of the rest are injured, but it wasn't a total loss. Thankfully they were single-minded in attacking the turkeys, so that the three people shooting at it - one guy with 8 Shooting and a bolt action rifle who misses most of the time, and two with no skill, revolvers, and a kill count despite - were able to take them down without harm.

Two years after their divorce, and a few rebuffs later, two of my colonists are back together as lovers. Let's see if they will remarry.

[Akura]

A pirate raid. According to the briefing, they're using intelligent tactics. The last pirate raid was a woman with no pants on. I captured and recruited her. And gave her pants. This time, it was three guys, only one with a shirt(all had pants). Intelligent.

The only damaged they caused was a few minor cuts on their former member. All three were killed and buried swiftly.

Shortly afterwards, the only person in the colony with medical skills, "Yoonie", gets hit with malaria(in a temperate forest). Disease is at 50%, immunity at 40%. I authorize her to self-tend with proper medicine. As she's trying to figure out the pronunciation of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole*, a minor stab wound on the former pirate turns into a full infection. Now she has to manage that. Thankfully, the infection reached 100% immunity at around 75% disease progression using just herbal meds.

While Yoonie was apparently in a feverish daze, she proposed to her boyfriend. He not only refuses, but he breaks up with his severely ill girlfriend. What an asshole. Then he throws a party, then leaves to go play with an alpaca shortly after she shows up.

She's currently at 79% immunity, but the disease is around 73%. She'll survive, but it could be close if something else happens.

Does disease reaching 100% mean death?

[Shadowgandor]

Does disease reaching 100% mean death?

Disease or immunity? If I recall correctly, the disease goes from minor to extreme or something. Immunity is the one that has percentages. Once it reaches 100%, the disease will be cleared from the body. There's still a small window where the colonist might die, but in most cases they should be safe at that point.

[scriver]

Akura seem to have disease percentages. I was referring yo those.

[MCreeper]

Diseases indeed have percentages, and if they reach 100% it indeed means death, if it didn't, say, reduce wounded chest's "efficiency" to 0% before.

[Akura]

Yeah, my experience is that when the disease progress hits 100% - death. It's therefore a race between the disease and immunity, the latter depending on blood filtration(which malaria inhibits by the way) and medical care, plus probably bed rest. I have also seen diseases go from minor to major as it progresses, though that didn't happen with the malaria in this case.

Also, the disease doesn't immediately disappear at 100% immunity, the progress starts decreasing instead, and disappears at 0%.

[martinuzz]

Yep. Disease increases as long as immunity is not 100%, and when disease reaches 100%, death comes a-knocking.
once immunity reaches 100%, disease% will start to go down.

Immunity increases faster with timely treatment sessions, proper hospital beds, vitals monitors, and better quality medicine. Not sure if treatment quality affects immunity speed.

EDIT: heh, that didn't take long. The two exes remarried.

[martinuzz]

I just aggro'd a migrating herd of 20+ caribous. My two polar bears, backed by two assault gunners in a 2-wide hallway managed to kill them all.

One of my polar bears got whacked in the head so hard, it became a trauma savant.
It lost ability to hear, and talk (??), but it's now very good at manipulation.

Mental image of bowling pin juggling mute and deaf circus polar bear.
On the bright side, it didn't lose any combat critical abilities or limbs. I'll patch him up just fine.

tl;dr: trained polar bears OP

EDIT: Holy moly, 41 caribou corpses. I need more freezers, because ofcourse this happens in exactly the one single month that my tundra map has above zero temperatures.

[LoSboccacc]

also, observed corpse x41

[SOLDIER First]

I once aggroed a group of 33 caribou because I didn’t realize the ENTIRE HERD would flip their shit at once.

They all ganged up on my shooter.

[martinuzz]

Nah, wildlife corpses don't give any bad thoughts.
Dayum, that's over 10k caribou meat. Am I glad I use a stack size increase mod. Still, that's a lot of stacks of 750.

Heh, that's actually a pretty easy way to get loads of meat if you have a killbox in.
