Space Smallpox

[Yoshmaster]

There should be an advanced disease symptom that suppresses all symptoms of a virus - unless the infected is an ash lizard.
You should also be able to apply the culture to bedsheets, so you can give the tribe smallpox blankets.

Generalise it to allow specific race selection and I know what I'll do next time I roll viro.

Race based plagues would be fun.

I was more thinking the other way around, only spreading my übervirus to other lizards.

'At what?'

Bay virology already has race ranges for plauges, and it is closer to how viruses work in real life

[Screemonster]

to do the smallpox blanket analogy it'd be better as a disease that crewmembers spawn with immunity to by default

realtalk though I've never played viro, is it possible to do a typhoid mary kinda asymptomatic carrier deal? If not it totally should be.
