Numbers! Thank you, Fyron.

Does a plague wear off before everybody dies?

If a Large Storage Expert AI Homeworld on the FQM has a full population (15B) and it is hit with a level 1 Plague, will it remain Plagued throughout the rest of the game, easily able to recover the lost population every round but never inclined to cure the plague?

Plagues Last until they are cured, even after all pop is dead.

Plagued planets have 0% reproduction rate, and get large happiness penalties each turn they are plagued.

i think there is some random chance to 'miraculously' find a cure to the plague on the planet. or was it only in se3?

Was that even in SE3, or just as myth? I have never seen or heard anything of the sort for SE4. There is a cure plague ability for events that is unused, so it is possible to mod such an event in, but the chances of it happening to a plagued planet (unless it is hard-coded to only happen to them) are slim to nil.

No longer true, once the population has all expired, the planet reverts to uncolonized and may be recolonized by anyone without fear of residual contagin.

Well that is dumb. Spores could be left behind.

SE3 kept the plague around on the planet if you recolonized the planet.
