Illnesses
Over Eating
The most common illness to get because when you are eating you may not see that you are able to throw everything up. So always pay attention to your stomach icon. If it begins to flash immediately sit down and you may avoid getting sick.
The Sickness lasts around 5 minutes and reduces your diet, stats, and can induce vomiting. This can be triggered through over eating or over drinking water. Also, eating again while being inflicted with vomit sickness will likely make you vomit again.
Your stomach icon will "Flash" repeatedly before you overeat.
This vomit sickness can be cured by visiting a Salt Rock and pressing E allowing your Dino to lick the stone and cure the sickness over time instead of all at once.
If no animation activates it means its not curable with salt rock and you should see if you match any illnesses below.
Mushroom Sickness
The Mushroom Sickness lasts around 15-20 minutes and reduces your diet, stats, and can induce hallucinations, paralysis, and muscle spasms. This sickness is caused by consuming too many mushrooms on an Herbivore.
There is no known cure at this time. Herbivores with mushroom in diet may be immune... further testing needed.
Illness is not transferred to Hatchlings
Cannibalism
The Cannibal Sickness lasts around 15-20 minutes and reduces your diet, stats, and can induce infertility, insanity, and muscle spasms. This is caused by dinosaurs eating their own species when its not in their diet.
There is no known cure at this time.
Illness is not transferred to Hatchlings
Bacterial Sickness
The bacterial sickness can only be contracted from a Ceratos bite and only if they have recently eaten rotten food.
If you have low hunger you have a higher chance of contracting this illness and it can be cured by visiting a salt rock to lick. This will cure the sickness over time instead of all at once.
Dehydration
This is the first effect you will see when eating rotten food/bones. It is the starting point and does not determine if you will get one or the other effects. Thirst will continue to drop every second very quickly.
Needs Testing - Moving around increases vomit chance. Sitting still has a lower vomit chance.
Food Poisoning
Food poisoning goes away after 6-7 minutes of having the effect. It appears after eating several mouthfuls of rotten food.
Debuffs:
Small % of stats lost
If you continue to eat you will lose HP
Vomit Sickness | Rotten Food
The Vomit Sickness comes from eating Rotten Food or Bones when your dinosaur does not have that as their diet. This is not the same as the over eating debuff.
It has around 5 minutes timer and will cause your dinosaur to vomit multiple times along with an 80% stat reduction
You will see a status "Rapid Dehydration, May Vomit" after eating bones/rotten food.
