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 the remnants power armor, or by evacuating 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 the world seed is known or by finding clues inside meteorite dungeons.

Possible recipe for MKUNICORN:

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

Another effect that happens all throughout the infection is coughing and vomiting. Occasionally infected persons 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

It is impossible to know if someone is infected until the first symptoms begin. Being wet increases airborne infection range from 2 blocks to 16 blocks. It can also bypass walls.

Items contaminated with MKU can be sterilized by putting them through the radioisotope thermoelectric generator and radiolysis chamber. However, this will destroy any organic items such as slimeballs and food items.

Removal

If the player is the only entity infected and they have to option to, killing themselves is preferred as it is quick, easy, and rids them of the infection. Although their items may be contaminated and they may only approach them and pick them up if they are wearing a tier two hazmat suit to prevent another infection. It is preferable to either sterilize these items with the radioisotope 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, they should be killed quickly from a long distance. It is recommended not to approach the dropped items. The area can also be carpet bombed 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.
