A user on the Thrive Discord, ElrodLogan, brought up an interesting idea but was not willing to register an account on the forums to share it.
I volunteered to share their idea for them.
"The basic idea is maybe your cell's species could mutate so much that it becomes some sort of cancer cell?"
EL's concept art:
"...you are infected when you are touched by the [haze]. You can only lose the disease when your cell is killed. You also spread the "Mutated DNA" and you see everything a little bit greener."
Gromalocaris/Grodog's recreation:
"Maybe when you are infected and go into the microbe editor you get a entirely new version?
Like a more green version with new parts?"
Infected editor concept art:
Personally I have doubts that these concepts are entirely scientifically accurate; however, they are still quite interesting and might serve as inspiration for future game mechanics.
Feedback will be sent to ElrodLogan via PM on Discord.
