YOU MISSED A SYMPTOM

[@peeweeherman9411]

SCIENCE!

[@timothymclean]

Bio major here. The "evolutionary progression" stage relies pretty heavily on the Great Chain of Being hypothesis proposed back in ancient Greece, which has been debunked ever since people understood that evolution is a thing. Also, the plausibility of a fungus making the jump from controlling insects to controlling mammals is...questionable. Their nervous systems, biochemistry, etc are significantly different. Also also, the mutations seem to be inspired more by The Last of Us, Left 4 Dead, and maybe Resident Evil than anything fungus can actually do. I'm not inclined to believe the author did much actual research. At the very least, he didn't let the research get in the way of how he thought zombies should work.

[@Boomrainbownuke9608]

such a fungus being able to control none insects is not about how its about when. nature is terrifying so if the fungus does evolve to be able to control none insects then shit is gonna start hitting the fan.

[@Santisima_Trinidad]

@@Boomrainbownuke9608 whilst the fungus would cause a bit of a problem if it could control other Insects (the fungus can naturally infect and consume most insects it comes in contact with, but not force them to (temporarily) move around like the ants) because of the ald polinaters and such being adversely affected, it's unlikely as insects self regulate infected individuals (throwing them away from the hive so the fungus won't infect other insects). If it could mind control humans it could be bothersome, but only if the chances of you getting infected via insect bite is quite good, and a vaccine can't be developed, as without giant hordes of zombies, machine guns will be enough to murder them all, and flamethrowers can destroy the remains.

[@Captain_FAIL]

Latest studies said that cordiceps(i dont know how to write it,also english is my second language,sorry if there are some misspelled stuff)which i think that scenario is all about,does not take the brain/nervous system control,but rather developes in muscles,making its victim out of control of their own moves,later making the victim unstable and aggressive by the fevers,extreme stress of you being out of control of your own body and etc. But no matter what this is all about,my guess is that if anything like that happens,were fucked,big time.

thats one of the things global warming does its either that or climate change, one of them

[@wis7604]

Brix Zigelstein I think they meant global cooling

[@MrRingworld]

Brix Zigelstein the term global warming is really more of a misnomer , it should be called global weirding , it's basically just a term for weird as f*** weather

[@dukeradwardthe5th843]

Mr.Ring, you know, It's like feminism, the 'feminists' heard the term and ran with it, normal feminists are more like human rights activists. Global warming / Climate Change is (almost) the same, with desertification, floods and all that shit, but the Antarctic got colder, weirdly enough, with it's southern ozone hole. See, I purposefully missinterpereted that quoute. It's very pleasant to see your honest comment, but please don't school me. Do it with someone who needs it. ;)

[@junehollybell5977]

global warming dose not "cool" it only heats

[@vibingwiththewind2889]

This scenario would probably be much better if it had far lower infectivity pre the infection into humans... because the majority of the early infected are ants.

So basically, You have created the Mushroom Kingdom.. only with bloodthirsty zombies... hmm. this would make a really interesting Mario game

[@dr.arielfinch4316]

Cordyceps. Also known as the 'The Last of Us zombie plague thing' to the uninitiated. Known to others as the mind-controlling fungus. It doesn't just affect ants, either, so be wary of it jumping the species barrier.

[@original3981]

Christian Plante I was wondering if anyone would know that

[@skylertaylor5526]

Christian Plante that's the shit I think about before going to bed when I'm just laying there just wondering that it can mutate at any moment at any time and then we all wouldn't noticed shit until it became very clear there's a problem but by then it's already too late

[@CheakyBreaky]

If Cordyceps were to cross the species barrier it wouldn't affect humans in any way current diseases don't. Prions are way scarier than cordyceps, and hell, toxoplasmondii gondii cause obsessive behavior and risk seeking behavior, and people get that from cats way easier than we would get cordyceps from ants. Cordyceps seems scary, but parasites and prions are scarier than any fungus, and can modify behavior significantly more.

[@dr.arielfinch4316]

That's why I'll be blasting Dare/The Touch/etc from my apartment while I mow down zombies. Make my last stand memorable.

[@mitchellhall8089]

Holy shit you played my Scenario. It's my first attempt at a mod for the game. Thanks for playing it though! (Only just found this video lmao) Oh also I don't know why there are so many spelling mistakes, I think there was some kind of error in the upload. Sadly I lost the files to that scenario shortly after initially publishing it, I did make a second one though. Second and hopefully less poorly made scenario: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=929451943 On a somewhat unrelated and self-promoting note, I am currently trying to write a novel around a similar (but more realistic, less crazy shenanigans) concept.

[@geekw.4758]

The Green Space Dorito they're*

[@Nyghtking]

LUcIO MaIN - same with the zombies in the last of us, the story behind them I believe is that the fungus that mind controls insects crossed the species barrier and began to effect humans. This scenario is basically the same as the last of us, give or take a few things, I don't know the specifics of the game beyond what the fungus is since I haven't played it.

[@NathanWubs]

it's because it's a direct copy paste from the last of us. Science the shit out of it, nah just played the last of us.

[@Santisima_Trinidad]

@@NathanWubs actually, in the last of us, the fungus starts out in South America, and reaches humans through Infected crops (which were recalled, but not after the damage had been done) leading to a massive proportion of humanity being infected within a few days/weeks. It was this bulk infection that led to the infected taking over the US, and presumably the rest of the world, as opposed to this scenario where it's just insects slowly (ish) infecting everyone from Central Africa.

[@lsswappedcessna]

O. Yugandis is a reference to O. unilateralis, the same parasite you mentioned was the mind controller of insects. O. unilateralis is often shortened to just "Cordyceps," from "Ophiocordyceps."

[@VeryEpicPotato]

(I Think that) O. Yugandis is based on an fungus that takeing over ants brain. But there are more funguses that takeing over ant Brains, like Cordyceps. But I Think that O. Yugandis was based on (probably wrong) Ophiocordyceps unilateralis. But I did probably Think that because they are in the O. unilateralis species class. I thinked that people would spam this in the comments, but I were wrong.

Yeah, a fungus evolving from infecting insects to infecting primates, while retaining the s same symptoms for each, in the span of a few years, is unrealistic. The disease is super cool tho

[@KJRiotGaming]

[@franzlimit]

The start was of course plausible for this scenario since those ants infecting fungi exist but afterwards it became a bit unrealstic. I am not talking about a zombie fungi itself but about the transmission chain. Why would the illness go from all kind of insects over rodents over apes to human? I am just not happy with the lemurs to monkey to human part. It's not like a better evolved brain has anything to do with a more evolved immune system.. Should just have been insects - > livestock humans or insects -> rodents -> humans or insects -> birds humans or just insects -> humans ;) .

[@DannyB1111]

Spectrum in reality a Zombie uprising would be completely crushed.

[@anonym3017]

Spectrum depends on the sacrifices that we are willing to take. If nukeing a city or continent is allowed then the answer is probably yes.

[@franzlimit]

Responding to what? A deadly fungus infection? Fungi infections are usually only dangerous for people with immunedeficiency because our immune system is very good in defending against this kind of illness. A worldwide fungus epedemic is extremly unlikely. If something would whipe out humanity, it would probably be a virus or bacteria but no fungus. Moreover we would have a lot of time in responding to a fungus illness since the growth rate of fungi is extremly slow compared to a virus or bacteria. Would we be able to respond to an allready ongoing zombie apocalypse outbreak?^^ Hard to say since this is science fiction territory anyway but yeah the military would have quite an easy time.

[@Nyghtking]

Depends, symptoms would have to show unless doctors just stumbled into it, which could happen because there are such things as hypochondriacs who would want a full sweep for any illnesses.
