Infections, diseases, parasites, cure, medicaments and antidotes. Possibility to get infected by monsters, plants, in caves or simply going to some dangerous planet without proper protection. Cure, antidote or vaccine could be made by some chemical processes which will require sample of the infection. Every disease can have different effect on player. Player will be weak and won't be able to withstand too much damage, slower movement, vomiting, blurred vision or even death. Also, diseases could have more stages and different forms of spreading.

Definitely like the idea of researching the infections and then creating cures for them, there would also be a lot of room for different kinds of diseases from different monsters/plants and what not. Also, vomiting, I can imagine how silly would that look.
This is one of those "cool the first time but bothersome the next" . It quickly becomes a game of micro-manage and takes time away from the real game. Nice suggestion worthy of a mod but I won't want it in the real deal
just realized how complicated this mechanic would be. Hyotle = fish diseases that tend to not infect humans unless digested. Florans = plants and incapable of most/all mammalian diseases Glitch = robots that are incapable of standard sickness. Apex = strong immune system and capable of generating their own strands of sickness, only ones next to humans that could get sick Novakids = giant bags of plasma...last time i checked my pet plasma ball couldn't get heart-worms humans = it's the future and common day medicine could have advanced far enough to wipe out the common flu and detect viral threats and their cures reletivly quickly. check out futurama. each race would have to get diseases their own ways and novakids seem like the perfect species due to the lack of...cells?
hmm.. I see. You are pretty much right. I really didn't think of all races. The survival on the planet might be problem big enough(especially if they plan to add that energy and resource distribution) so we don't need illness, diseases and things like that. EDIT: Oh yeah, I got an idea - space evil entity/parasite feeding on plasma energy. For the Glitch, something small and aggressive might damage their circuits. Florans? They are plants and plants have their own diseases. Hyotle- what? who said it has to be able to spread to all races? And BTW, Starbound is not Futurama and in space, there is not just a common flue. We can assume that there are some micro-organisms capable of living under certain conditions and that they could harm us if we get in contact with them.
