Diseases in Rimworld

[JasTheBoyWonder]

I'm not a professional Rimworld player at all, but I have been playing it for awhile now. My colony was doing great until all at once every single one of my colonists got malaria. So after that I reloaded the game to an earlier save and wondered if it is just a random occurrence or if it is supposed to happen. After reloading the save it happened again and it seems to NOT be random (Even though the storyteller is set to Randy Random). Is this something common in the game or is it a bug? Also, is there anyway to get around this or do I have to deal with it head on?

Pretty much head on.  With randy random, it works by random timers to flags if I read code right.  So in this case, take it head on.  Focus on cleanliness and dont let colonists wander to far.  Less work, more joy stuff.  Should get through it.
