"No disease" mod?

[Johntodd]

Is there a "no disease" mod?  If not, would someone please be kind enough to make one?  I'm playing the latest <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr> and <abbr title="MegaMod">MM</abbr> mods.




Thanks so much!

Never heard of one. There's a mod that turns tornadoes off (here) but that's about it.  I turn all disasters off - I can get my people to starve without them [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20" />

I even use the debug menu to cancle all disease, etc., and they still get sick.  Despite having a varied diet, high morale, etc.

debug doesn't totally stop disease. however,i do think if you click in it while the bannies are sick it will help sure them and slow/stop the spread. depending on the disease the hospital will help if you have enough herbs. i have not found a mod that totally stops all diseases either.

LOL me too! thanks for the gigglesnort; made my afternoon.




doesn't seem to matter which disease it is, influenza, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, etc, the best thing that helps my towns is a decent (full size) hospital. it's one of the very first things i build after food and firewood is stable. upwards of 20-30 people may fall ill, but about half the time no one dies, and if they do, usually only 2 or 3 folks die. tolerable. small clinics and herbalists just don't have as beneficial effect (imo).

Herbs and Herbalists are no help with disease epidemics (Mumps, Dysentery, Fevers etc.), for those you need a hospital manned with a Physician.




Health basically depends on -

- a varied diet (some of all 4 food groups)

- a local herbalist, to treat small ailments and wounds with herbs (get at market, bring to herbalist)

- a hospital, to treat epidemic diseases (beyond a herbalist's abilities)

I have all that, P.   My town is at 3000.  I solved the problem by zero-cost building a poopload of hospitals.  I have 149 physicians, and the people were finally all healed.




 




Is that all there is to it?  Just "x-number" of hospitals for "x-number" of people?




Thanks!

Well, on such dense populations an outbreak can spread like wildfire... and a hospital can only treat up to 30 peeps, plus you can't staff more doctors (only 1 per hospital), unfortunately. So a mod should maybe give hospitals a larger cap than 30 patients...

My people seem to avoid hospitals.  Is there any way (or any mod) to make them ho to the hospital?

When I develop a new township area, even just a market radius away, or a forestry outpost, I will always add a hospital, even if it's only a small one that can take 10 patients, and I add a herb market there (a small 1x2 in the Puzzle Market), so far my outbreaks have been reasonably contained this way as there is a doctor in each outpost.  Generally if I have over 5 hospitals, I won't have more doctors, but increase their numbers just before I take in nomads. 




It's not perfect, but so far I haven't lost everyone this way. [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20" />
