MKUNICORN

The MKUNICORN syringe is an airborne biological weapon. MKU is only obtainable in syringe form and when used, MKU will spread and contaminate everything. MKU can spread through all entities. It can only be stopped with a tier two hazmat suit, such as Remnants Power Armor, or distancing yourself from infected areas. It can spread through items.

Obtaining

The order of the items in the recipe is scrambled for every world. The recipe is hidden from NEI and the order of the items can only be found out if you know the world seed or by finding clues inside Meteorite Dungeons.

Possible recipe for MKUNICORN:

Effects

5 minutes	Able to spread through air
1 Hour	Ocasional nausea
2 Hours	Constant weakness and nausea
2 Hours 30 min	Half a heart of damage every 20 seconds
2 Hours 55 min	Heart of damage every 5 seconds
3 Hours	Death

Another effect that happens all throughout the infection is coughing and vomiting. Occasionally you will vomit blood, similar to having absorbed high levels of radiation.

Any mob that dies while being infected will have their drops infected as well.

Prevention

There is no way to know if you are infected until the first symptoms begin. Being wet increases airborne infection range from 2 blocks to 16 blocks.

It can bypass walls!

You can sterilize items contaminated with MKU by putting them through the Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator and Radiolysis Chamber. However, this will destroy any organic items such as slimeballs and foods.

Removal

If you are the only entity infected and have to option to, killing yourself (in-game) is preferred as it is quick, easy, and rids yourself of the infection. Be warned as your items may be contaminated and only approach them and pick them up if you are wearing a tier two hazmat suit to prevent yourself from getting infected again. You have the option of either sterilizing these items with the Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator and Radiolysis Chamber or getting rid of them through lava, fire, cactus, void, or despawning.

If many entities are infected but it is contained in a relatively small area you should kill them all quickly from a long distance with something such as the Ma Deuce. Like above, take caution approaching the dropped items. You can also carpet bomb the area with conventional explosives.

If the infection has spread through a large area and is uncontained or hard to contain, use of nuclear weapons (or using the Blue Rinse) is preferred as the manual killing and sterilization of items may take too long and be impractical.
