[A17.1529] Penoxy does not provide immunity boost to Plague

[commoner31]

2 of my 3 came down with the plague.
Other guy ran off to my neighbor and traded everything I had to get some penoxy.
Come back, administer, nothing.
Immunity staid in at 81% for both patients.

Did penoxy change in A17?
Does it no longer give an immunity boost post infection?
Or is this a bug?

[Zhentar]

In A16, Penoxy boosted immunity to 61% if immunity was below 61% before taking it, so it wouldn't have done anything in that case. In A17, it works differently and does not boost immunity percentage at all.

If you wouldn't mind, can you explain how it works now?

[Zhentar]

I was following the code incorrectly (because of a refactor); it actually works quite similarly but boosts immunity to 65%.

This is genuinely good to know. I just assumed penoxy was only good people who weren't infected yet ...

[DariusWolfe]

Does it have an effect after the infection has begun?

After surviving malaria, I started manufacturing penoxy (I've literally never bothered before last night), but I sort of think I recall that Neutroamine isn't something you can produce? I don't know that I want to start a regular regime of a medication I can't source locally.

Thanks code reading superman.
I thought it boosted by 61 percent in a16, not to 61 percent
My ignorance, my apologies.  Nothibg to see here.

Not a bug, thanks for reporting anyway.
