Deadliest Virus -ever-

<< < (3/5) > >>

Numsgil:
It can take a lot of nrg to shoot a virus.  If you do something like 1000 .vshoot store, your virus will usually be more than capable of infecting all the nearby veggies, and you'll be able to produce more viruses.

But that's not what I want, try running Ebola and see what happens.
The alge has just enough time to reproduce before it kills itself and spreads the virus.
This way the infected alge will become very hard to kill... it just reproduces and kills itself all the time.
And there will be plenty of virus shots in the air since a shot lasts a long time.
You could try running Ebola with it's current virus and then try dropping the vshoot value to see the difference.
But it's true that a lower shoot value will be more overall compatible, Ebola is prepared for the effect the virus has on the alge.

Numsgil:
Ah, clever

spork22:
To build off of the zombie virus idea, the Alga Pollinator has a virus that forces the target to walk toward the plant while releasing it's energy. If this virus hits a colony of plants, then things go out of control. Pretty soon the zombie bots start actually acting like zombies, attacking members of their own race or pretty much the nearest bot.

Omg I had a idea, A Virus killing virus...Possibly as a defence mechanism to make it more antibody-like...But imagine that, viruses attacking viruses. That'd kill your planty virus sure.
