Describe the bug

Basically, for some reason some Level 7 random virus event lately have been able to bypass the cap of symptoms like this: This screenshot is from the round ID provided image

This is from a different round: 34534543534

They... can get extremely deadly if it happens to roll a hard cure and it's also semi-lowpop.

@zeskorion might know something about it since they did the last touch of viro regarding that

What did you expect?

I expected the level 7 virus to be a little challenging and fun but uh.. not to have 22 deadly ones..

Reproducible steps

  1. Spawn level 7 virus
  2. Scan the affected patient and depending on RNG they might get a very nasty one, might take a few tries since it doesn't happen every time afaik.

It's zamm's intended fuckery as far as I know. It has a rare chance to go over the limit. I am honestly not sure if it's a thing to fix because it's intended.

Hm well if it's ''intended'' then it might be more of something to be adressed as a balancing issue, i mean.. not sure how rare it is since i've seen it three times on the past week and it's a very round killer for lowpop shifts, one thing is.. seven symptomps another is... +22

"Confirmed outbreak of level 7 viral biohazard aboard Space Station 13. All personnel must contain the outbreak."

People should take this announcement more serious especially now with the possibility of a +22. Though for lowpop I would agree it might need adjustments.

not so much intended as "i thought it was interesting and never fixed it". I did not add this feature. my changes to level 7 biohazards simply made the diseases they spawn always contagious, and easier to hit thresholds.

This would be easy too fix by using addsymptom instead of manually adding each symptom, or by using a symptom cap check
