Dinosaur Infection/Disease/parasite Debuffs

98 votes

Something to add more threats to the game beyond just players, food, and water! You can't have survival without potentially deadly pathogens! I'd imagine it'd work like the bone break debuff, but with varying effects for whatever kind of disease/parasite it was such as an increased food drain for a tapeworm-like debuff. Some diseases could even have a minor visual effect later on or have a passing chance to spread to other players that eat your corpse, or find a dirty corpse. Some example disease ideas: Trichomonas, Dinosaur Flu, Infected wounds etc.

I upvoted this with the idea that there would be cures available

Oh for sure. I forgot to add that to my suggestion, but there would probably be some environmental cures to prevent frustration, like the various nuts, herbs, and flowers around to fix certain conditions.

And you can have dinosaurs like deinonychus. have ability to feed off the parasites on other dinosaurs, Cleansing them of their ailment.

That sounds awful especially if there isn't something that could cure you readily available. Dying already is a huge cost.

Honestly this would be great and would actually give microraptor a purpose if they give it an attachment ability as a way to ward off parasites
