Stat Modifiers
A drug introduced in Alpha 16. Blocks various infections such as malaria, sleeping sickness and plague. Take every five days.
Contrary to its description, Penoxycyline cannot fully prevent disease. Instead, it provides immunity against them.
Acquisition
Penoxycyline can either be crafted at a drug lab or purchased from traders.
Crafting
- You need to have penoxycyline production researched.
- Each pill requires 2 Neutroamine, which is only obtained from traders or found in cargo pods.
Usage
Administering Penoxycyline provides true immunity against diseases over its duration, preventing the protected pawn from catching the protected diseases. It does nothing to stop a disease that's already in progress.
Notes
- Penoxycyline can contribute to overdose, increasing severity by 0.08-0.14; this is uncommon, however, and you will either have to take a few other drugs beforehand, or binge on Penoxycyline.
Version history
- Prior to Alpha 16, it was known as "Malari-Block" which only blocked malaria and was crafted with 5 neutroamine.
- In Alpha 17 its cost is further reduced to 2 neutroamine.
