I saw a bed of fungal fires near the town I was looting, so I decided to try the ‘kill it with fire’ approach. A few matches later and now I’ve started a massive raging fire that has engulfed not only the fungal flowers but the three houses right next to it.
How effectively will this kill the fungus? There’s a big fungus in the center that doesn’t seem to be affected.[/quote]
Fire will destroy the fungal bed well enough, and it’ll probably destroy the smaller fungal-monster and fungal-terrain things, too, but the centre of a fungus infestation tends to be immune to it. So the fire you started will curtail the infestation back to the tower/giant flower/whatever at the centre, but in order to completely finish it off, you’ll have to find another way to kill the heart.
Stimulants, probably. Adderall is popular for boosting Intelligence, but you can also consume any source of caffeine. Coffee powder is common scav, so trying brewing two or three units next time you’re especially thirsty (maybe even in the morning when you wake up!) and drink up before you sit down to read or craft.
