Zarquan Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I don't know if people know about this, but I found an interesting interaction with sporchids I haven't seen before. Apparently, if the tile they are in is crude oil (or I assume any other liquid) and the tile above them is CO2, they dump all their spores in to the crude oil instead of the CO2. Since dupes can't get germs from liquids, this essentially neutralizes the dangers of sporchids, which could make it "safe" to use in a main base area without walling it off.

sheaker Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I had the same situation. Keep in mind they will still release some zombie spores when planting. I didn't realise You want to keep them open and merged in crude oil:D Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/118680-a-sporchid-observation/#findComment-1338209 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to think of a use case for this technique that is better than encasing them in window tiles, but I haven't thought of one yet.

Sasza22 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 If you pump that oil to a refinery it could spread the spores to natural gas it creates and that can become dangerous. But if you just keep the sporechids in oil it should be safe.

psusi Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Yea, I noticed last night that the CO2 coming out of my gas grill from burning NG pumped up from the oil biome that has long been contaminated with zombie spores ( why don't they ever die? ) has been spreading some zombie spores around my base in little pockets of CO2.

Anyone infected? Dupes have a pretty high resistance and are not supposed to breathe CO2 anyways.

Maybe I was worried over nothing. I started planting buddy buds to displace the spores.
