Plague Inc Is A Perfectly Balanced Game With No Exploits - Unlock All Genes Instantly

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Plague Inc A fun little plague simulator which demonstrates at least a partially educational look at the spread of a disease in a entertaining way. It is by no means an accurate game but it does encourage more people to enter the field of epidemiology. Now today The Spiffing Brit will be discovering if Plague Inc is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits or if unlocking all the genes instantly to create overpowered combos is broken. So its time to sit back relax and grab a cup of tea as that funny british man finds unique developer approved game mechanics to exploit and glitch the system in his favour creating some very funny moments for us all.
What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.
So sit back relax and enjoy Plague Inc in 2020 with an infinite gene exploit!

My record for fastest destruction of humanity is with the virus in 283 days on Mega Brutal and I went all in on the mutation rate (Darwinist...) and invested in two symptoms at the beginning and then just transmissions and abilities. You get more DNA points the higher your severity is.

[@kepler6873]

There are two generally applicable strategies. The one your describing is passive play. It’s more reliable but gets lower scores, and in my opinion is less interesting than the second method: aggressive play. Aggressive play has you abusing the extra red bubble dna from severity to get dramatically higher stats while trying not to get too serious too early before getting at least one infection on each island. It’s harder but a lot more fun IMO! If you haven’t tried an aggressive game then try playing as you normally do but grab coughing, sneezing, and pneumonia (rich, urban, and cold boost for free) then play as normal

[@de_gree]

you cant do this strategy on mega brutal, your disease will always get detected when your starting country is almost fully infected

[@mr.champion7304]

Some advice from a someone who's played Plague Inc. for a long time. I love the first exploit, having been someone who uses it every time a new plague comes out. But, spiff is not right about / doesn't know some of the game's mechanics, to the point where some of that knowledge would allow him to break the game even further. Not that I blame him, since most of this information comes from viewing the disease templates in the scenario editor, which show you what each trait changes, and can show you lots of other stuff like world events, ship routes, airplane routes, etc. 3:44 Investing in Drug Resistance at this point is just, well, unwise. Brazil is a hot country, so he should get Heat Resistance (HR), or at the very least, Insect I (although Insect I & II give less hot effectiveness than HR at a larger price, only making up for it in a bonus to infectivity; Insect I & II give +0.4 hot effectiveness (HE) and 12 infectivity at 29 DNA, whereas HR I & II give +0.9 HE at 33 DNA). Spiff thinks that he needs Drug Resistance because he's not in a poor country, but that just isn't true. Drug Resistance only adds to "Wealthy Country Effectiveness", which the game says "Increases the disease's ability to spread in wealthy countries", meaning it only affects wealthy countries, not countries that are neither wealthy nor poor. 4:42 While it is true that Pneumonia adds cold effectiveness, it only adds 0.05 to it, so don't use it as a substitute for Cold Resistance I, which gives 0.3 cold effectiveness. 5:09 He's forgetting completely about Russia, which sends ships to Greenland, also Sweden doesn't send any ships to Iceland or Greenland. Also, Russia and Norway are the only countries that send ships to Greenland. 7:33 People, including me, tend to think that reshuffles destroy parts of current research. But, from what I can tell, reshuffles only add work to the cure, not get rid of it. No, seriously, if you go into the Scenario Editor and see what a genetic reshuffle does, it will show that has "0.25 change to cure requirement", which means it probably adds 0.25 units of something to the current cure requirement. Genetic Hardening has a "Research Inefficiency Multiplier" of 0.1, which I presume is actually added to the current inefficiency multiplier, so no surprise there. My point is, reshuffles don't actually get rid of cure progress. 12:53 A Spore Burst, for some reason, also adds 10 to airplane, ship, and land transmission. Spore Eruption adds 50 to each. I'll save Spore Hardening for later. 13:05 This is just nitpicking, but it only increases costs by 1 DNA point, so it would be 1, 2, 3, 4, not 1, 2, 4, 6, 8. 13:25 Here is where Spiff could've started really cheesing the system. But first, you have to know something about the red bubbles that not many people know about. The more severity you have, the more DNA you get from these red bubbles. The DNA bonus you get is still random, and I think it has diminishing returns, but most I've been able to get is somewhere around 3-4 points per bubble on average. Usually, with 0 severity, you get 1 DNA point, sometimes maybe 2. He could've spent some points getting Insomnia to boost the DNA bonus from a red bubble, bought a couple spore bursts, then use that extra DNA to get Paranoia, then got the rest of them and raked in a ton of DNA bonuses. 14:29 Actually, Spore Hardening doesn't seem to do what it says it does. It says it releases spores continuously, implying it randomly infects countries with new spores, but it doesn't seem to do that. I even just tested this, I played a game on Fungus, made sure to be so aggressive that New Guinea closed their ports before I infected them, killed most of the world, and just waited with Spore Hardening, and New Guinea never got infected. So, what does it do? Well, it adds 900 to airplane, ship, and land transmission. Yes, that's right, 900, to all of them. This is probably why it seems the disease is infecting random countries, countries which don't border any other infected countries; it's because the land transmission is so high it infects it's borders very quickly. Anyways, I'm gonna stop nitpicking now.

"We're not technically in a poor country" - Spiff on brazil

[@spwol]

He is techinically right, but Brazil isn't a rural country like the game says it is

[@CottidaeSEA]

Brazil itself isn't poor. There's loads of money in the country and loads of resources. It's just that the majority of the population never gets to see any of it.

[@cartermariano]

It was the 6th world economy until ~2015 so no, it's not a poor country.

[@LuizAlexPhoenix]

@@spwol Well, it's mainly a rural economy and political system, where there is more bovine cattle than human cattle in the country and both serve the same masters focusing on exporting wealth to live in their own bubbles while the bankers and media line up to help. Plus, besides the state capitals most cities are quite small compared to their European counterparts. Not that I agree with the game, just pointing out that the country of gado being rural makes sense as far as the modifier goes, higher infectivity based on cattle.

Tea is made of boiled water, so depending on the disease, tea would be safe.

[@dragonix8527]

Most teas will turn out bad and bitter if you boil the water. Only a few like black tea require the water to be that hot for it to turn out well. Most teas are made at lower temperatures, so the water would still be subjective to bacterial contamination.

[@SmackcrackIV]

Prince Dragonix you do realize you can boil the water, let it cool to the temp appropriate for your tea and then brew it? It’s not difficult...

[@dragonix8527]

And while that will handle most bacteria, letting it sit and cool again opens up avenues for other airborne strains to recontaminate the water. Standing water is never completely safe. Basic high school microbiology. Granted that is highly unlikely to pose a threat, but that wasn't my intended point.

Verdade kkkkkkkk

[@golangismyjam]

I used to be in the top 3 on the leaderboards for this game for a long while after it came out. None of the top players use genetic hardening or reshuffle, you can kill the entire world well before they research a cure, the general strategy is pick up a few transmissions, then start upgrading your symptoms, prioritising symptoms that are none lethal and increase infection, devolve any traits that are lethal at this point. When about 1/2 to 3/4 of the world is infected, start increasing lethality but don't make it extremely lethal as it still needs to spread, when the entire world is infected you can then devolve all the transmissions to pick up more points for lethal symptoms. This basically works because as soon as they start dying their ability to create a cure diminishes to nothing, so it's better to spend the points on infecting and killing rather than actively trying to prevent a cure.
