Biological chemistry

I really, really like the idea, but I imagine that it might be a very CPU intensive process for all of these checks.

Not particularly, assuming that we stuck to things like insulin and adrenaline. Cancer cells might be problematic since, to properly model cancerous behavior, we'd need to check for a random mutation for all humans on every life tick.

general idea is quite interesting but idk how keen i'd be on adding the Big C to my farty spaceman game, same sort of problem i have with space aids etc.

Personally, I'm all for having to use surgery to remove tumors, but, uh, maybe just not *cancerous* tumors.
