Hello guys,
I’ve been playing CataclysmDDA for some time and I’ve gotten good at it. I was exploring around on my bicycle, for special areas like Labs, Caves and other cities. I found some labs deep in the forest and an Ant-hill in the middle of an open-area, and a few tiles downward from the anthill, there was a Fungal Bloom. I’ve read the guide about this on the wiki and from that I imagined it would be a very large area with lots of dangerous creatures and the ‘exotic-fruit’ growing somewhere in the middle. But on the contrary this Fungal Bloom was only one tile on the map, and very small area with a Fungal spire in the middle surrounded by fungal-walls, and spores all around the bloom and some marloss bushes scattered around. There was not a single fungal-creature in the bloom besides the spire and some spores (some giant ants were also there), so I took it as a chance, sneaked in and got some of that fruit, neither the spire nor any spore attacked me.
I’ve not gone there since, but if your read the wiki, you’ll see that its got a lengthy guide about this, about how to prepare to attack the bloom, required equipment and stuff. But its totally (somewhat) different from the stuff that was written in the guide.
So, what should I do about this? Should I just take some grenades and high power ammunition and destroy the spire (as written in the guide)? What will happen if I don’t? Should I just leave it (since I already got the fruit, is there any need to destroy it)?
I’ve got 5 or 6 marloss berries (but I’ve not eaten them since I don’t want to become a Marloss-Carrier) so I think destroying it’ll be just a waste of my ammunition and equipment, and its really far from my base so even if it spreads, its not gonna come near my base anytime soon. I’ve also seen some similar stuff called the Fungal-Tower, the wiki has not got a page about it and it does not seem to spread (I’ll create a thread about that too).
Here are some snapshots of the bloom:
