Tibila Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 It would be nice to have an option in sanbox where the zombie infection is only possible through saliva. This would mean that scratches and lacerations would have 0% chance to mortally infect the player but bite is still fatal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul_ Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) I think it is not a good idea, in terms of immensity / realism. Virus infections attack directly in the BLOOD. Its contamination is via BODY FLUIDS. Therefore, it would make no sense for a zombie to salivate in an open wound or in your eye and if you become infected, on the other hand, if a zombie's blood falls into the wound or directly into the eye, you are fully protected against the virus. Blood is where the BIGGEST CONCENTRATION of the virus is. Not only in the mouth, as it would make no sense. After all, every virus goes into the blood.

colid_cnake Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 This seems like a solid option, but I also feel like the way damage is placed on the body & how different hits are animated/telegraphed could use some major work in general.

Fuzzy Wolfy Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Considering you can already turn transmission off entirely in the Sandbox settings, I don't think this is a bad or especially harmful idea. So long as this doesn't affect the base game, then I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badgzerz Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Yeah why not, its a single player game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YuanNeed Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 If you are considering realism, some virus actually only transmitted through saliva. Rabies for example can only transmitted through saliva, not blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Juliet Whiskey Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Didn't they add this option in a recent update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
