A pathogen is a disease that can have many different effects. These are combined together by a pathologist, so each pathogen you encounter will likely be unique.
A pathogen is defined by several things:
Stats
These are numerical values between 0 and 50 that influence how well the pathogen can do certain things. A pathologist can set these stats directly in the Pathogen Manipulator.
- Advance Rate: This determines how quickly the pathogen will advance through its Stages. (It will also determine how quickly it goes down through the stages under some circumstances.) More on Stages later.
- Spread: This determines how well the pathogen will spread from person to person. This also depends on the pathogens Symptoms. More on Symptoms later. A pathogen with 0 spread will not spread naturally.
- Suppression Threshold: This determines how easily a pathogen can be suppressed via its Suppressant. More on Suppressants later.
A pathogen has only a limited amount of points to spread over these stats, so if it is very good in some stats, the other stats will probably be lower to compensate.
Microbody Type
The specific type of pathogen. There are four different types (plus a fifth that only occurs when the admins bombard the station with diseased burgles). These influence a handful of things:
- Stages: The maximum stage that the pathogen can reach. More on stages later.
- Maximum Sequence Length: This determines how many symptoms (and of what length) the pathogen can support. Adding any more will destroy the pathogen. More on symptoms later.
- Activity: How often the pathogen can trigger its symptoms. This also differs depending on the pathogens stage.
- Growth Medium: What type of Growth Medium needs to be added to a petri dish in order for the pathogen to grow. This is a chemical.
- Anti-Agent: What type of Anti-Agent needs to be used to make a cure in the Synth-O-Matic. This is a chemical.
- Vaccinable: If a Vaccine can be made for the pathogen.
- Auto-Immunization: If you are immune to the pathogen after you have been cured of it once.
Here are the different microbody types:
| Microbody | Stages | Activity | Max. Seq. Len. | Growth medium | Anti-agent | Vaccinable | Self- immunization |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Virus | 5 | 1, 5, 20, 30, 40 | 12 | Egg | Antiviral Agent | Yes | Yes |
| Bacterium | 3 | 30, 30, 30 | 25 | Bacterial Medium | Spaceacillin | Yes | Yes |
