What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This would add more diseases to cure and the diseases already in the game would have more variety allowing them to be harder to find.
What I am talking about is making a bigger list of diseases and make the ones already in the game have similar symptoms and have multiple symptoms (like how flu, cold, and chest infection all do one thing) per disease that can happen per person with RNG Like for the flu you could have a list of random symptoms and run it through RNG and get 2 or 3 symptoms and the medical team has to figure it out. Also making to where diseases actually harm the player in negative ways, like how sinus actually makes it hard to see, what I mean is for something like the flu where if you have it when you cough your screens shake and the coughing becomes worse and worse, and for the cold you can make it to where when they sneeze there eyelids actually close (just make it to where there screen is black) and move their cursor or person just a bit to annoy them. With chest infection it should truly do damage after 1 minute and make the player slower the longer they wait. And also maybe nerf the illness checker in medbay to where it shows just symptoms so medical actually has to try to find what disease it is. Also make the diseases way more spreadable like the flu so we have actual outbreaks and not just one guy being sick.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
To my knowledge no.
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Makes it to where people HAVE to see medical because it actually effects game play and isn't just an action or a noise on your screen.
Makes medical have to try hard to discern the actual illnesses making even more interesting for medical.
This would also add an update to medical which hasn't had anything in 3 years (promoting the actual RP side of medical and not just CMs)
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Dev hell
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Out of all the departments the medical department has not gotten basically any gameplay changes since the medical bay was changed back in 2023/24 (can't remember). This means that medical has not gotten really any changes to it in over 3 YEARS. What I am saying is that making diseases more of a threat and harder to actually cure to make it insanely fun and interesting for medical and would make medical more of a needed staple instead of just being the people I ECT class-d with and that heal me.
