Plague & Flu Tweak

Description
This mod tweaks the behavior of Plague and Flu in RimWorld using an XML patch.

The way that RimWorld handles disease immunity means that the same pawns can catch flu or plague over and over again in an unusually short period. For a little while right after recovery, a pawn is safe. But after a little time, they are able to catch it again at a reduced chance. And after a longer time, they are able to catch it again at the same chance as anyone else.

This tweak patch changes these values for flu from 6.66 days and 16.66 days to 40 days and 100 days. This means that the same pawn should not normally become sick with flu more often than once per year. It also reduces the severity buildup of flu by about 25%, so that it will not represent such a dangerous threat to otherwise healthy pawns.

It also changes these values for plague from 20 days and 50 days to approximately 16 years and 40 years, giving recovered pawns long-lasting immunity to the fairly serious disease.

Love the idea, as Randy had been annoying in the past giving plague, flu, Mechanite sickness, Flu, and to top off then end of year another plague. (all within 60 days) It was annoying.

Little concerned that nerf to plague makes it non-threat once a pawn has had it. 16 years is alot alone, 40 is basically the rest of a game run, or at least most of it.
