You probably eat something thats causes this

Pretty sure this is because you got hit by zombies from the furniture store. Somewhere around 15 minutes later, while I was setting up a base specifically for making and hording soup, I had that same popup happen while also wearing a rat suit.

Also, despite using iodine, a health syringe and the orange syringe, it still killed me. I have no idea if it can be cured.

Don't think there is a cure myself as it just killed me an those Zeds just keep spawning in a base i make all the time, can't seem to stop the spawn now either.

It's just 2 of them you don't hear them at all just suddenly your being attacked.

They need to make a cure or you should at least be able to at least fight it off. As it is you puke so much you can't keep up with it.

I'm in a hazard suit which is suppose to protect you from spores radiation and the like which it doesn't as I'm get radiated all the time with nothing on me that's radiated and in a non radiated area.

And making a bug report is just not possible either not able to even get to the form, due to constant Google sign in. Even though i'm always already signed in to google.

Going to unpack this a bit,

Correct, there is no cure, and I think that's the point.

Also, how are zombies still respawning in(side?) your base? There is only a nightly raid that has a chance of spawning a zombie hoard, and that should happen outside of your base.

Where is your base and is your Crafting Bench even powered for the entire night?

Just two of them? Where? When? Also, the gammar isn't helping much with readability.

What are you doing that's causing you to get infected enough times to make you wish you had a cure? If you know what you are doing and don't panic, the zombies are really easy to manage. Are you just going into the hoard like some badass hero, or is this all from being ambushed?

Are you sure you are not being irradiated? The suit blocks 90% of the radiation, not all of it. It takes time for the gained radiation to go away (and will be even faster if you take iodine pills), but if you hold even one Anteverse II critter meat, it will stop the processes. If you are eating radioactive food, like fried Pest or Peccary meats (even if it isn't giving off radiation) that will also keep you irradiated.

That sounds a lot like important log in cookies are disabled on your browser. If you have a Google account, you should not have that much of a problem logging in and staying logged in.

His base is in the Home Zombying center. A lot of people seem to think making a base in a portal world is a good idea. News flash it is not. Those are supposed to be death arenas. Not places that are safe for bases.

[MechWarden]

That still leaves unanswered questions.

If it is there, the zombies do not come out until you press one of those buttons (unless they do eventually come out regardless), making it ironically one of the safest and largest spawn free spots in the game! So why would they just press one button (or more) when they should know it would cause problems? Also there is a zombie free area there where a player with over 100 hours of game time would surely build their base at.
(also there are easy ways to get back up the elevator, so you never have to keep pressing all the buttons to exit, but you'd need to progress further to get a specific item for that)

It feels more like they made their base in the containment area that leads to the Furniture Store portal. Still a bit questionable, but it shouldn't be an issue with someone with that many hours played. Based on the limited info, I'm guessing they didn't optimally place their Crafting Bench and it didn't cover all the possible zombie spawns in that area. That's the only way to have 'just two of them' consistently show up near their base.
(they may place stuff further out than that, thinking it is their base, but that'll be wrong)

The spawn suppression volume of a Crafting Bench is rather large, larger than the 'Home Sweet Home' indicator buff would suggest, but it can only go so far. The best way to visualize how large it is, is to place a Crafting Bench on the dropped ceiling tiles in the Data Farm, right next to that outlet, and watch as practically all the critters there stop spawning in the large room (save for one pest at the far end, and maybe one other critter).

If they moved their Crafting Bench further in (making a 2nd might not work, because of other reasons) covering the 'just those two' spawn points, then they might not have issues with ambushes. I'm more shocked they didn't complain about broken stuff when they got back, since all enemies love to break anything the player touches.

What MechWarden said is correct. Zombies do not spawn in the Furniture Store unless you press the buttons.

Hazmat Suits do not provide full immunity to radiation, they provide 90% resistance. You still take some radiation. Use a Geiger Counter if you're in doubt about taking radiation.

Also, suits make you immune to outside spores and viruses. A bite bypasses that because it's going directly into your character's skin.

Regarding the virus itself... Maybe there will be a cure down the line, but right now there is none. If you catch it, I'd just recommend storing your stuff (to avoid durability damage) then letting your character die on purpose.

There is a gigantic critical flaw in your hypothesis. Wanna guess or go straight to the answer?

Would you like to contribute or continue to be vague and post nothing of substance?

Probably the later.
