Need Plague Help

Claymore · #1 February 18th, 2001, 02:00 AM

I justcaptured a planed that had level 1 plague. Well....I have never delt with plague before ...and the inhabitants are dropping by the thousands. Anything I can research that would help? On ships they have medical bays...but for planets.... what if anything ????

Move the medical bay-equipped ship to the planet with the plague. It will cure the plague if the lvl of the component is higher than or equal to the plague level.

Feel glad that plague random events are all lvl 1 and none of the AI AFAIK use plague bombs.

I see....I think they should have a facility comperable to the medical bay used on ships, for use on planets. The rate of death from plague seems so high you can hardly respond if you have a low population planet.

The Organic Tech tree has a medical facility that can prevent plagues of a certain lvl based on it's lvl. Up to lvl 3 plagues.

Personally, I think -that- should be available to regular tech. The other facilities that improve population growth to astonishing levels can stay in organic, but the medlabs should be available to everyone.

One of my events is a bad case of gas cause your pop to leave the planet.

Actually they all die but it is funny to see this message in my logs.

Aye. I've commented on that to Malfador -- that it's a bit strange that a medical lab capable of curing an entire colony could be built on a ship, but not on land.

A note on medical labs -- Last I checked (actually, it's been a while since I was plagued, so maybe it was changed by a patch?), the plague damage occurred before the medical lab cured it, so you still take one turn of damage. You have to use a ship w/ a sufficiently high medical lab over there in the same turn to cure w/o loss.
