Connor dropping dead from infected eye implant, no opportunity to treat

[ju]

Not sure if this is a bug or an intended behaviour, but Connor has died of his infected eye implant and there seems to be absolutely nothing that can be done to prevent it. His pain level right before death was only 20% (without tea), he's well fed and happy, I have plenty of antibiotics and medicine kits, and there is no indication that he's sick/ losing health/ has any (non-chronic) problem at all. He just drops dead in year 3 of this playthrough. The tooltip from hovering over the "infected implant (death)" line in the health conditions section says "health: -1000"?
I've reloaded several times, including from days before he dies, and the result is always the same.

Anyone else seen this before? Any other survivors ever drop dead from a chronic condition before?

39 years (apparently, just checked) and Connor is still alive and kicking! Maybe you ran out of antibiotics?

Edit: The game DID mention in his bio that he only has 2~3 years to live (but that should be Sol time, right? Which translates to 16~22 years Sobrius time..)

There were plenty of antibiotics, and I've had him survive much longer than 3 years before! I hadn't noticed that about his bio though, thanks for pointing it out.

Did hear somewhere that there is a rare medical Breakthrough in the game where this infection along with cirrhosis of the liver is cured. Sorry, I wish I could remember the source (and its validity!).

My first Connor died with plenty of antibiotics as well. Now i got my second Connor. let get him off planet asasp

mine died on a balloon trip, ... just died no info or anything or pop up. had to abandon the game cause couldnt bury body and get rid of the box that he died.

Yeah he died in my current game too, was that added?
Didn't play the game for a while, but I used him a couple of times in the beginning and he didn't die on me like that.

That disqualifies him quite hard, the productivity of my survivors dropped quite a bit after he died and I'm not getting new people anylonger.

He just died sometime around year 2 or 3 . He is not in my starter team.

He can't be saved. I guess him being a sniper or being intimidating is more important to list than him inevitably dropping dead from an infection that is treated. Should have read the character biographies because you know that's where potentially run ruining information is usually listed in these type of games.

dev need to add some chirurgical treatment so we can fix our humans. because with all this fight vs bugs (or light strike)some1 get setious damage to there body.

Connor was the reason in early access, when only the crash landing scenario was available, to hurry up with getting to the evacuation part if you wanted to save him.

There's literally an achievement for keeping him a live too.

Is there a way to just kill him off? I have him as one of my starters on a trade colony, he is now getting sick 3 and 4 times a day sometimes .. going through antibiotics like a fat kid in the candy store. Since he is the original 3 I can't just not rehire him, but I'm definitely tired of him running to lay down every few hours.

Send him into a bug nest ? And keep him drafted so he wont get healed. You cruel overlord.
