Diseases that can be controlled by the immune system
When non-chronic illnesses occur, they affect a maximum of 25% of the residents of the settlement, which also includes prisoners.All of these diseases, except infection and influenza, can be avoided by taking penoxycillin.

The value from the second column shows by what % the disease progresses if it is not treated. Infection, for example, progresses by 84%.The value from the third column is necessary for the formula that determines the actual rate of disease progression after treatment. It means how much you can reduce the value from the second column, provided that the quality of treatment is 100%.This formula looks like this:Value from the second column - (value from the third column * quality of treatment / 100) = real rate of disease progression after treatment.The value from the fourth column shows by what % immunity is generated if the pawn's immunity generation rate = 100%. However, the average speed is indicated there; the real speed of immunity development is determined by chance and remains unchanged until the end of the disease. The minimum possible speed may be 20% less/more than the stated average.
Required quality of treatment for successful treatment of the disease
VALUES ARE SPECIFIED HERE PROVIDED THATTHE RATE OF DEVELOPING IMMUNITY TO THE DISEASE WILL BE WORSE, AND THE SICK PAWN HAS NO PENALTIES/BONUSES TO THE RATE OF IMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, THAT IS, ITS "IMMUNE DEVELOPMENT RATE" INDICATOR = 100%.Every time a pawn is treated for an illness, the quality of treatment should be at least as follows:
Developing immunity without lying in bed
  • For malaria 57%
  • For infection 65%
  • For sleeping sickness 72%
  • For the plague 74%
  • For flu 88%
Developing immunity while lying in a sleeping bag
  • For malaria 44%
  • For infection 50%
  • For the plague 55%
  • For sleeping sickness 58%
  • For flu 64%
Developing immunity while lying in a medical bed
  • For malaria 35%
  • For flu 38%
  • For infection 45%
  • For the plague 49%
  • For sleeping sickness 58%
But let me remind you that these figures are provided for the worst-case scenario for the development of the disease, the probability of which is only 2.5%, roughly speaking.Mild illnesses: influenza and sleeping sickness, although demanding on the quality of treatment, in the worst case scenario, in half of the cases they will proceed quite mildly and, paradoxically, are almost not demanding on the quality of treatment, so much so that even a complete zero in medicine, treating yourself without medications can often cope with the disease.Malaria reduces blood filtration and therefore slows down the immune system. I did not take this fact into account, and therefore the quality of treatment for malaria should be higher than indicated.
Nuances of some diseases
Infection
Infection can be acquired in parts of the body affected by burns and frostbite with a 25% chance, and with a 10% chance for remaining types of wounds from piercing damage.You can influence the chance of infection by treating the wound in a clean room. Thus, the chance of getting infected will be less:
  • 2 times if the wound is treated in a clean room, for example with a wooden covering
  • 3 times if the wound is treated in a clean room completely covered with sterile tiles
Please note that the quality of treatment, medications, etc. do not affect the chance of infection; only the cleanliness of the room in which the wound is treated is affected. Although I can’t assure you with 100% certainty.
Recurrent disease
The developed immunity to diseases remains even after the disease disappears and the “health” tabs are removed. That is, if a pawn again falls ill with a disease that he had very recently, 16-50 days ago, it will be possible to find that immunity to this disease does not = 0, but will be at a mark that depends on the number of days that have passed since the disease. So for each disease, the rate of decline in immunity after recovery will be as follows:
  • Plague -2%
  • Sleeping sickness -2%
  • Malaria -3%
  • Flu -6%
  • Infection -40%
Constant illness
This includes all kinds of chronic diseases and diseases resulting from the abuse of chemicals.Also, a characteristic feature of these diseases is that they are treated only in non-standard ways. The healing serum can cure any of these diseases.Every chronic disease has a certain chance of occurring when a pawn has a birthday. The older the pawn, the higher this chance.
Asthma
It can appear at any age, the chance increases every year and remains unchanged after 40 years. Excessive consumption of smokeleaf joint can also cause it.The disease can be treated every 168 hours. Depending on the quality of treatment, the disease can progress for the worse/better.The disease reduces the effectiveness of the affected lung by a maximum of 50%.The disease has 3 stages.
  • In the first stage: the effectiveness of the body part is reduced by 10%. That is, breathing decreases, and with it consciousness, movement and sleep efficiency, but they do not decrease by the same %
  • In the second stage, which starts at 30%: the effectiveness of the body part is reduced by 30%
  • In the third stage, which starts at 45%: the effectiveness of the body part is reduced by 50%
It is treated by replacing a body part, luciferium and biosculptor.
Atherosclerosis
It can appear from the age of 21, the chance of occurrence is not much lower than in older ages.The disease progresses at a random rate and can tend to 100% within 8-47 years. When reaching 100%, the pawn will die.The disease has 5 stages.
  • In the first stage: the efficiency of the heart decreases by 5%. That is, blood circulation decreases, and with it consciousness, movement and the effectiveness of rest (but they do not decrease by the same percentage as the heart); a heart attack may occur every ~300 days
  • In the second stage, which begins at 20%: the efficiency of the heart decreases by 10%; a heart attack may occur every ~200 days
  • In the third stage, which begins at 40%: the efficiency of the heart decreases by 15%; a heart attack may occur every ~100 days
  • In the fourth stage, which begins at 60%: the efficiency of the heart decreases by 35%; a heart attack may occur every ~60 days
  • In the fifth stage, which begins at 90%: the efficiency of the heart decreases by 60%; a heart attack may occur every ~30 days
Treated with heart replacement, luciferium and biosculptor.
Alzheimer's disease
It may appear from age 34, but from age 70 onwards, the chance of occurrence increases significantly.The disease has 5 stages.
  • At the first stage: consciousness decreases by 5%; Every ~12 days a nervous breakdown "confusion" may occur. The pawn will walk aimlessly around the settlement; Every ~7 days the pawn will lose a lot of experience points. I don’t know in more detail how this happens.
  • At the second stage, which occurs after 67 days: consciousness decreases by 10%; confusion may occur every ~9 days; loss of skills every ~4 days; and also with a 0.15% chance, the pawn may forget some temporary thoughts or relationships with others, I don’t know for sure.
  • At the third stage, which occurs after 167 days: consciousness decreases by 15%; confusion occurs every ~7 days; skill loss occurs every ~2 days; a pawn can forget temporary thoughts with a 0.33% chance
  • At the fourth stage, which occurs after 267 days: consciousness decreases by 20%; confusion occurs every ~4 days; skill loss occurs every ~24 hours; a pawn can forget temporary thoughts with a 0.5% chance
  • At the fifth stage, which occurs after 334 days: consciousness decreases by 20%; what happens to the rest of the numbers is not on the wiki or in the Hediff_Local_Chronic.xml file
The disease is treated with luciferium and healing serum.
Carcinoma
It can appear from the age of 20, the chance of occurrence increases every year. Either due to exposure to toxins or the presence of a nuclear stomach.Carcinoma appears with a 30% progression rate and there is a 30% chance that this carcinoma will not cause pain. Can she appear on anyone? part of the body and when it reaches 100%, destroys this part, disappearing along with it (if the part is vital, the pawn will die).The disease has 5 stages.
  • In the first stage: the effectiveness of a body part is reduced by 10%; causes 10% pain
  • In the second stage, which begins at 15%: the effectiveness of the body part is reduced by 25%; causes 20% of pain
  • In the third stage, which begins at 40%: the effectiveness of the body part is reduced by 50%; causes 35% of pain
  • In the fourth stage, which begins at 60%: the effectiveness of the body part decreases by 80%; Causes 50% of pain
  • In the fifth stage, which begins at 80%: the effectiveness of the body part decreases by 90%; causes 60% of pain
It is treated by replacing a part with a prosthesis, luciferium, or a special operation to remove carcinoma.
Sore back
It can appear from the age of 40, the chance increases with age and remains unchanged after 80 years.The disease reduces movement by 30% and work by 10%It is treated with spinal replacement, luciferium and biosculptor.
Dementia
It can appear from the age of 70, the chance of occurrence increases greatly from the age of 80. Or with strong exposure to toxins.Disease: reduces consciousness by 15%; speech and hearing by 25%; can cause a “confusion” breakdown every ~5 days; and also accelerates skill loss by 25%It can only be treated with luciferium.
Cataract
It can appear from the age of 50, the chance of occurrence increases greatly until the age of 70, after which it remains unchanged.The disease reduces the effectiveness of the eye by 50%Treated with eye implants, luciferium and biosculptor.
Hearing loss
It can appear from the age of 50, the chance of occurrence increases greatly until the age of 70, after which it remains unchanged.The disease reduces the effectiveness of the ear by 50%It is treated with ear implants, luciferium and biosculptor.
Weakness
It can appear from the age of 50, the chance of occurrence increases greatly until the age of 70, after which it remains unchanged.The disease reduces work and movement by 30%Treated with luciferium and biosculptor.
Chemical damage
A disease that can affect the kidneys due to unsafe use of psychin.It can also damage the brain if you drink alcohol unsafely.Although the disease has the same name and mechanics, it has less impact on the brain than on the kidney.Brain damage reduces consciousness by 50% and cannot be cured.Damage to the kidney reduces its effectiveness by 80%, which affects the development of immunity. Treated by kidney replacement.
Cirrhosis
A disease that can affect the liver if beer is consumed unsafely.Reduces the effectiveness of a body part by 60%, reducing the production of immunity; causes 15% pain; and reduces movement by 10%It is treated by replacing a body part.
Unique diseases
This includes diseases that differ greatly in treatment from those listed previously. Among such diseases there is also cadaveric itch, rotten blood and the like, but I will not describe them, since it is impossible to become infected with something, while others can only be caused by stupidity.
Parasites
This includes intestinal worms and muscle parasites.The symptom of both types of parasites is 20% pain. It does not change in any way, neither from time nor from the quality of treatment.To cure a disease, the total quality of treatment for this disease must reach 300%. For example, the first time the disease was cured by 18%, and the second by 100%, the total amount is 118% out of 300%. Otherwise, the disease cannot be cured. (Intestinal worms can be treated by replacing the stomach).These diseases differ in this way:Intestinal worms cause vomiting ~ once a day and increase the “food consumption” statistic by 2 times. That is, the pawn will need twice as much food as usual.The presence of artificial stomachs completely protects against this disease.Muscle parasites reduce work and movement by 30%, and the pawn also requires sleep twice as often as usual.
Mechanites
These include sensory mechanites and fiber mechanites.Symptoms of both types of mechanites are 20%/60% pain, as well as the need to sleep 1.7/2 times more often. Symptoms get worse with poor treatment, but may get better again over time with good treatment. By good we mean ~25%+ quality.Both diseases go away in 15-30 days, depending on the randomness. The speed cannot be affected.These diseases differ in this way:Fiber mechanites increase movement, work and blood circulation by 50%.Sensory Mechanites increase vision, hearing and speech by 50%, and work by 30%.
Childhood illness
The disease appears only once in infants born with the disease.Immunity is also developed to this disease and it is in every way similar to the diseases to which immunity is developed, except for one difference - every 2-3 days, depending on the randomness, the disease changes its phase to a random one. Depending on this phase, the disease progresses by 50%, 30%, 10%, -25% per day, if left untreated. This difference makes the disease unique; if you’re lucky, the disease may even go away before immunity develops due to the ability to reduce the severity of the disease, but more often it will be necessary to resort to the use of advanced medications, because otherwise the child may not survive, even with 100% quality treatment.If anyone is interested, the rate of development of immunity = 10% per day and can also be 20% higher/lower, randomly, like other diseases.
Speed of immunity development
In addition to the fact that each disease has its own basic speed of immunity generation, which does not depend on the characteristics of the pawn, the speed can be influenced through the “speed of immunity generation” characteristic, which in turn is influenced by the following:
  • Does the pawn want to eat -10%/-30%
  • Does the pawn want to sleep -4%/-8%/-20%
  • Age. Starting from the age of 54, a pawn loses 1% of immunity production every year, up to 50%, it cannot be less due to age
  • Lying in bed +10%
  • Vital signs monitor +2%
  • Type of bed (quality is not important) from floor to medical bed +0%/+5%/+7%/+11%
  • Immunizer implant, up to two pieces, +8% per piece
  • An implant of something like “filtering kidneys”, up to two pieces, +2.5% per piece
  • Kidney and liver health. It's difficult to say the influence, but it is very strong
  • Character traits and genes influencing the rate of development of immunity. -10%/+10%/+30%/+50%
  • Luciferius. The value may vary by about +35%
Please note that the quality of treatment does not in any way affect the rate of development of immunity. The quality of treatment only slows down the progression of the disease.
Wound healing rate
When pawns are damaged, their limbs and other body parts that received damage lose their health points, these points are restored over time unless the pawn is starved.The speed of wound healing depends on the “healing points”:
  • By default, all pawns have 8 healing points
  • Whether the wound was healed and with what quality. The treatment itself gives +4 points, and for quality it gives another + (0.08 * quality of treatment)
  • Whether the pawn is in the bed (the quality is not important) and in which one. Lying on the floor gives +4 points; lying in a bed or sleeping bag gives +8; Medical bed gives +14
  • Does the pawn have a specialized “healer” implant? If so, treatment points are multiplied by 1.5
  • Does the pawn have genes that slow down/accelerate wound healing. Depending on such a gene, treatment points are divided by 2 or multiplied by 2 or 4
The number of healing points means how much damage the pawn will heal in 24 hours. The best value in the game, with 100% quality, treatment = 204.

This is very helpful, Rimworld barely teaches you how this works before half of your guys are dead from illness.

plague has 0.666 rate of progression without treatment huh
