Default So called "plague prevention"
I am playing AIC mod, simul. turns. My home system has Biomed facility III - "prevents plague in the system" up to level 3 according to facilities.txt (no errors there, I checked it many times). News flash - bio disaster - Plague level II on one of my planets - OK, may be it will be cured before actual damage. Wrong ! Next turn, my colony is dead Apparently, in simult. turns, plague ALWAYS can make one turn of the damage REGARDLESS of "plague - prevention" facilities <- what a crap

Yeah... I suggest changing the description to "cures plagues". The scientists obviously need a month to work out the cure to the diseases.

To his credit, JLS uses description "plahue-cured" for facility . What we must really do is ask MM to fix the actual "ability" description. "plague - prevention" is plainly wrong.

BTW, 30 turns later my other planet was targeted by plague II. It had ~200m people (HUGE number for proporyions' type colony ! ) and I was afraid they all will expire. No, "only" 58M people die So now I am still confused how much damage plagues do.

What more obvious proof is needed for the inherent evilness of cats. They should be all rounded up and shot into space.
