Colonists dying from infections and plague even with regular treatment? Why?

[hwoo]

As the title explains. Thier beds set to medical, herbal medicine and regular treatment when needed.

Advice please?

If a pawn gets an infection, an immune response begins. It needs to reach 100% before they die.

Some factors to consider:

• older pawns have a slower immune response
• pawns with poorer blood filtration (missing kidney) have a substantially slower immune response
• hungry pawns have a slower immune response
• staying in bed all day isn't very joyful but it does improve the rate of immunity gain

It might be due to poor medical skill?

Hover over the disease and you can see how close they are to becoming immune.

He's fairly young, good blood flow and nourished. That's why it's bs. He's in a medical bed being treated by a doctor of 15 skill with no wounds of his own or old age penalties. Being treated with medicine. It's bs

A healthy colonist that stays in bed all day and gets regular healroot treatment has a 100% survival rate in my experience from flu/plague.  Something else must be going on.

Yet mine seem to die even in a hospital bed that they stay in. With sterile tiles. Clean. Medicine, and a good doctor. Somethings going on and I'd love to know what.

Until the bs stops I've had to resort to using notepad to fix them. I'd much rather loose a colonist because I wasn't paying attention. Not when full attention and medical know how doesn't work. Dam strange.

Sometimes people just die.

Happened a lot more times than seems natural. Like every dam time so far. Coding in my games weird I guess. If anyone gets a infection it's a death sentence so far.

Are you telling your colonists to "rest until healed", or are they running around doing stuff while infected?

Staying in bed from the moment they are infected.

There's a difference between a good story and "i did literally everything possible in-game and they still died to the flu."

Something odd is definitely happening, seeing how I've dealt with multiple infections beforehand in A12 and rarely had a person die unless neglected.

Exactly, before alpha 13 my people never died to infection unless I ran out of meds.

You probably delayed some of his treatments (doctor sleeping, pawn busy) which caused the immunity gain to slow down or made the symptomes worsening faster (not sure which is actually happening), which is why he didn't get to 100% fast enough...? My guess.

Can you post a few screenshots? A video? Or your save?
