How to tell what staff are infected or not?
So i just got to mission...28? 29? and suddenly I have a med-platform to seal away sick troops, now the game has told me if I suspect men of being infected with the parasite I need to send them away to the med-bay place but how do I tell who is sick/infected and who is not? and what danger do I face by ignoring sick men? will they die or kill others or?..

Infected people will die after a while.

To find out who's infected, try to find similarities between the infected staff.

If you just want to know the solution: All the people who speak "Kikongo" or whatever it is are infected.

Alright so how do I deal with that? just whenever I air-lift 30 troops, dig through them to find the guys who speak that language and just dismiss them?

Don't even airlift people out. This will put them with regular staff and result in MORE infections. Quarantine your infected and do not extract anyone else until you've developed a cure.

I haven't found an easier way. Myself I manually had to select over 300 of my staff members.

just rush your main story missions and get the cure. i was playing pure stealth up until this part of the game, then i started going in with d-walker and chaingunning everyone down.

dude,thanks a lot... this is just incredibly cruel from Kojima i just found out about something like that existing (in game) and i had to quarantine about 470 of my people !

Finding out about that after playing nearly 100 hours, and really building up my MB and FOB was not fun. I spent awhile sending several hundred of my staff to quarantine. Not sure how fast your staff will die if you don't quarantine them, but I only lost 3-4 every hour or so after I had done it.

I like open world games, I explore and just mess around a lot before I pay much attention to the main story. That mission almost seemed like a punishment for doing so.

The pacing in TPP seems a bit odd with the episodic flow of the story.

Couldn't figure it out yourself? Ocelot flat out tells you what to look for. I enjoyed the 15 seconds of brain activity for once

Aparte from that, there's another clue in game, if you actually listened to the conversations.

Someone will tell you that on all those recordings that were stuck on people's throaths there was NO english language, that might mean the infection is targeted and that several units may be immune as long as they share English and Kikongo; of course, try it at your own risk

Unfortunately, there is no way to sort by the languages they speak.

Staff will learn languages from other staff in your army. and since the infection is triggered based on vocal patterns, even if they know multiple languages, they are not safe. As long as they are fluent in that language they are a hazard to the safety of the base.

rush story.
its easy.
who cares you get far better staff later.
Any Kikongo speaker will get infrcted, just quarantine them all

Put anyone who speaks Kikongo into quarantine.

It would have worked fine except that languages spread between your staff members like avocal cord parasite
