The mutation pathogens just use the function that gives random mutations, with the beneficial one using the variant that only picks from ones that have isBad=0.
Pretty sure that function does not give mutations that do not occur in genepools, unlike stuff like mutini (which picks from things that have the acceptable_in_mutini flag).
I'd definitely be up for adding some stuff that is normally not gotten via genetics to the pathogen symptom, it sounds fun. /shrug
As for the other stuff you said, there are two other symptoms that give random mutations. The whole point of the beneficial mutations symptom is that it's not supposed to fuck you over at all, that's why it adds stabilizer to everything and stuff. If you make things have drawbacks that are not incredibly minor, people will always complain when you make a pathogen with it, no matter if it's much more beneficial than harmful.
And tbh I am just sick of it, I want to make beneficial pathogens.
I can't put in sunglass glands because it pushes off goggles.
I can't put in beneficial mutations because it can give some annoying stuff.
I can't put in oxygen farts because it pushes people around.
I can't put in normal snapping because it has a small chance to cause some brute damage.
I can't put in bees because they lag the server to death and/or murder anyone that accidentally clicks a bee.
I just want some beneficial symptoms that are not a monkey's paw and that are more interesting than just occasional healing.
