Prone to illness = 100% zombification on scratch ?

[agreubill]

Third character i lose on scratch with this trait (despite thick skinned)... So, i'm asking :p

[DeadlyDanDaMan]

Thick Skinned increases your chance for infections if you get scratched. Prone to Illness also increases your infection rate, making you get sicker much faster. Those two traits together is just asking for an infection if you get scratched.

[agreubill]

... Ok, so the so-called "advantage" thick skinned give you 60% more chance to being infected on scratch for +10% chance to avoid bite/scratch...

Thks, misread the trait description since a loooong time...

no thats not how it works thick skin gives you a 60% more chance that a scratch will become infected meaning infected as in requires disinfectant. It does not give you a 60% chance of a scratch becoming zombification.

Actually, thick skinned reduces the chances of scratch zombification from 25% to 12%. Here is the code. http://imgur.com/a/WTmFg

So, called 3 zombinfection on 3 scratches with thick skinned is what ? Just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad RNG luck ? I mean, it was literally 3 times "1 scratch only in 2 month+ survival occuring on 100% zombification"... Your link tends to prove that the dice roll 3 times on 1-12% (+/- ill proness, that i'm not even sure it affect the chance (call it like that)) ... ?

What do you mean the die rolls 3 times? It only rolls once. I'm not sure what you are trying to say my link shows.

I think they mean, in total they got three scratches. And of those three scratches, 100% of them turned into zombification. So, three rolls of the dice (RNG), three zombifications.

Personally, I experience around 60% zombie infection rate from scratches. I have thick skin and lucky. Its certainly not reduced to 12% zed infection rate. But I will say, I get a lot 'less' scratches with thick skin.

Well that's what the code says. And when searching for any other code for scratches, that's it. So I think RNJesus just may not love you, because the game does in fact lower your chances of getting infected from a scratch with thick-skinned.

From what was being said in another thread on here, apparently Thick Skin reduces your chance of recieving a scratch by 10% when being attacked, but increases your chance of any Zed scratches getting infected by normal microbes (leading to a normal infection) by 60%...it does not directly effect the chance of becoming ZOMBIFIED exactly, just inderectly through your chance to recieve a scratch.

Think of it like this: your skin is thicker and so is harder to perforate, but bacteria are more likely to become stuck in any perforations that do form

I saw that too. I understand your logic, however that was misinformed.

Just bad luck and 'spiteful' (RNG) I guess.

I rarely get infected from scratches... I have had it happen maybe 2-3 times

The thick skin trait supposedly increases the zombification chance to 60%.

Where did you get this information. I've never seen this before.

That is why I said 'supposedely'. It seems accurate to me when I play the game. And until/if the developers ever release an actual manual to playing the game, we may never know for sure. They seem to want to keep it all a secret, with I feel a lot of developers do, which is sad to be sure. Back in my day, when you bought a game with hard cash, you also got a manual on how to play it.
