Does randy always spam diseases like a ♥♥♥♥?

[Silverbird]

I've gone through the past 20-30 hours of gameplay getting BARRAGED by disease.
My current playthrough is 41 days in a temperate forest ('average' 1.2 diseases per YEAR) and I've gotten muscle parasites + muscle parasites again + gut worms now on day 41.
2 of my colonists have muscle parasites now (different events) and the one gut worms event infected 2 colonists at the same time...
Borderline unplayable, every colonists has a disease that will take months to heal and they just keep stacking more and more lol...
I wonder if I've just been unlucky lately.

randy is RANDOM random that means he just picks one and does it it doesent matter if its the flu on day 300 or toxic fallout on day 1 it just happens randomly

Thats XCOM FOR YOU!

No wait, different game.

Thats Randy Random for You!

With RR, you could get all kinds of different stuff...I've had really strange runs with Randy...
Like nothing but nice stuff for a whole couple of years....

But with Randy, if you get Yorkshires...Be sure to keep them around on hand cause the best armor for the Raid Party Randy is going to throw you, he just gave them to you.

My scarred wimp colonists got gut worms only, and he is paralyzed and unable to move from pain....
...
He was promptly euthanized, cause I don't have the spare food to feed a dead body for 2-3 months while my 2-3 medical colonist attempts to cure his gut worms lmao
(thank god i had the 1 herbal medicine required to euthanize him)

Randy (or any other storyteller) has no control over disease. The disease event is controlled by the biome and multiplied by game difficulty, it's fixed RNG.

Well they both got screwed over...
10 days later one got plague, then another got eaten up by a rat and wasn't able to get patched by the other because they had plague and gut worms and muscle parasites so they got infection.

I got a man in black event but the plague pawn collapsed trying to self-tend while the other i probably could've saved that had infection but I don't care at this point the colony is trashed lmao
