[Vanilla + DLC] Diseases Expanded

This mod adds new germs and diseases to enrich the game and make it a little more challenging with more interesting sickness sources. The inspiration came from ONI forums, where somebody suggested that each biome should have its own, unique dangers. While some of the biomes still remain perfectly safe, the others now introduce new factors that must be taken care of.

Germ: Bog Bugs
Source: Bog Bucket
Disease: Bog Bug Infestation
Cure/Prevention: Muddy Salve (prepared in Apothecary)
Infected duplicants are periodically bitten by small bog insects. Those bites are nearly painless and harmless, but after a long time can pile up to dangerous levels. Use Muddy Salve to drive out the bugs.

Germ: Frost Shards
Source: Wheezeworts
Disease: Frost-Covered Skin
Cure/Prevention: Sauna or Hot Tub bath
Little Frost Shards make duplicants' skin more sensitive to temperature changes and reduces their germ resistance. Frost Shards can easily melt in warm temperatures and the disease can be cured by visiting a Sauna or Hot Tub.

Germ: Gassy Germs
Source: Gas Grass, NatGas Vents
Disease: Moomoza
Cure/Prevention: Sprouting Tablet (prepared in Apothecary)
Thse germs are very resiliant and are not purified by Chlorine that is a part of their natural environment. The disease causes infected duplicants to fart frequently. There is no known cure, but Sprouting Tablet can mitigate the smell by replacing it with flower scent.

Germ: Hungerms
Source: Experiment 52B Sap Tree, Saturn Critter Traps
Disease: Everlasting Hunger
Cure/Prevention: Sweet Sap Shot (prepared in Apothecary, appliled in Doctoring Station)
Infected duplicants burn calories much faster and need to eat more. Luckily, they don't show signs of Sap Tree aggresive behaviour.

Source: Spindly Grub Fruit
Disease: Sleeping Curse
Cure/Prevention: Increase Farming skill to reduce hurt chance. Wear Atmosuit to prevent infection. Relax with Espresso Machine to prevent Narcolepsy sleep (not only for Cursed duplicants)
Infected duplicants fall asleep in random moments, developing Narcolepsy effect for the duration of the disease.

Germ: Alien Goo
Source: Comets
Disease: Alien Symbiot
Cure/Prevention: mitigate stress with Happy Pill. Remove with Alien Cure.
Symbiosis with Alien Goo grants infected duplicant bonus to all attributes, but makes them stressed out. When the sickness wanes, the duplicant becomes fully aware of what happened, increasing stress factor even more.

Germ: Unstable Virus
Source: Curing from any disease
Disease: Mutating Disease
Cure/Prevention: Unstable Antiviral (prepared in Apothecary), Controlled Mutations (conducted in Vaccine Apothecary)
The virus can mutate when a duplicant cures from any sickness. The mutations will happen faster if the duplicant absorbed radiation and when the virus is behind its mutation schedule (by default, 1000 cycles to fully mutate). When the virus mutates, it will become more severe and harder to eradicate.
At first, the sympthoms of the disease are quite weak and you won't even notice them. Halfway mutated virus will become dangerous, but don't let it fully mutate or it will turn the life of your duplicants into short, painful hell.
Medicine against the virus require muckroot to make, so it won't be available forever. After you run out of the ingridients, you can conduct Controlled Mutation project in the Vaccine Apothecary, to decrease severity or resiliance of the disease.

Germ: Medical Nanobots
Source: Manufactured in Molecular Forge
Effect: Nanobot Enhancement
Nanobots are friendly little beings designed to fight dangerous diseases and boost duplicants. By default they act like germs, flying in air and preventing other microbes to spread in your base. However, you can develop upgrades for the Nanobots, to make them more resiliant and improve their ability to enhance duplicants with various buffs.

Insect Allergies
Insect bites (by Bog Bugs or Beetas) cause more damage.
Allergies can be prevented by new Allergy Immuno Booster (prepared in Apothecary) - it works just like Allergy Medication, but can be eaten before duplicant is exposed to dangerous allergens

Filthy
Filthy duplicants don't wash their hands after using toilets.

Germcatcher
Collects samples of ambient germs and stores them in a flask. Those flasks can be studied in Apothecary to earn medical research points. You can also use them in Vaccine Apothecary to make vaccines.

Vaccine Apothecary
Uses radiation to weaken germ samples and produce vaccines for some diseases. Vaccines grant full immunity to a disease for extended amount of time. It is suggested to use radiation protection when using the building.

Shield Generator
When connected to power source, those buildings will slowly generate protective shield around your asteroid to reduce cosmic radiation. Use them to cut Alien Goo from the green light it loves so much or make it easier for your dupes to work on the surface.

Diseases Restored - by default, my mod's difficulty will increase for extra challenge
Twitch Integration - you will see additional events to vote on
Bio-Inks - additional Bio-Ink recipe to print medicines or their ingridients
Fragrant Flowers - flower scents from that mod can be used to keep your base germ-free
Germicidal UV Lamps - Lamps will affect modded germs in a similar way as radiation would
Symbiotic Germs - no direct interaction, just more ways to play with germs

It is very difficult to verify mod like this accross different playstyles, player experience and expectations - initial versions may be a little off-balance. If you have suggestions how to make this mod better by adding new diseases or modification of existing ones, feel free to share your ideas. Please let me know if something is too easy or too hard for you. However, I cannot promise I will implement all of your ideas...
