Nano Infection

[Drinkfist]

So I got a nano infection that the journal stated reduced my max nano energy and I should check in the clinic for a method to cure it. Only problem is I caught it three floors down in the basement and during my walk back to the elevator I somehow turned into a giant monster because of the infection. It is now impossible to cure and the autosaves were triggered during the 100 turn timer because I thought I could sprint to the clinic and get it cured. Instead the doctor is attacking me even though she should know its me.

I have access to antitoxin, bandages, splints ect. Why in the hell did you require a game ending status effect not indicate it was game ending until it was and not allow any way to cure it until you caught it?

Had nearly the same thing happen to me. My autosave was at 400 turns, but I was in the middle of B02 and got turned into a monster for the first time. My choice was either spend 30 minutes save-scumming sprints all the way back up hoping I didn't get a single hit from a zombie, or lose about 2 hours of work.

There was no indication I'd have anything worse than a nano regen debuff. It was a really nasty surprise that should've had more warning.

The doctors frequently say during events that they're monitoring your health the entire time, they should be messaging you at 50%, 60%, 70%, and getting super nasty with you about it.

So, there is not way out of this? Got myself in the same situation. Autosave triggered while I was turned into monster going to doctor to cure it, and the last save a did was hours ago.

Even before turning into a Nano monster, the game does warn you about Nano Infection and how dangerous it can be prior to entering the mines. Granted, the game doesn't explicitly say it will be game over if you do get max infection.

That said, you should be able to craft and buy Nanobot Neutralizer Shots(name might be different due to different language) that lower the infection. It's the same way with a lot of the status effects too, by the way. So broken leg, bleeding, poison, etc. will kill you if it reaches 100% as well, at least in my experience. So it's really important you have some curatives on you for various status effects. I make sure to always bring at least 2 of every type of cure and start heading back when I run out of one.

Also, it might help if you start having multiple saves. Like Save before you enter the mines, then create a different save while you are in the mines and in decent shape, then maybe a third one as you are progressing during your trip. This way you can rotate through saves as needed so, at most, you'll lose 1 hour of playing.

Probably the game should get an autosave after exiting the elevator and when arriving on top floor.
Weirdly enough, this is a problem only in the first hour of the game. I guess they could make a pop up screen of all possible effects and what they do
