Alien Fungus Removal?

[Nate T]

What command do I need to use to remove the alien fungus, the invasive purple stuff that'll take over your cave if you let it? None of the Gather or Deconstruct commands seem to do anything to it. At the very least I'm not able to select the stuff with any of them!

Colonists with the Janitor job role will automatically go and clean it up. Recommended to have that as a primary job for a couple of colonists should the xeno mold appear.

Also if you don't start clearing it quickly it will take over. I had to start over because I had 5 colonist (all I had) set as janitors and could not keep ahead of the mold.

Quick response is key here. I send all crew and robots with janitor job set to first priority to deal with the outbreak. Work speed/stress level is also important to clean up quicker than it can spread.

the mold is why i stopped playing ,.. why play a game with an unbeatable game mechanic that served no reason to exist save for but ruining the game itself.?.
Whoever the idiot was that introduced that to the game should be fired for ruining a good game.

Thanks for the feedback. As the solo developer of the game I'll be sure to let myself know that I'm fired. :) In other news there are additional starting game options in development which will include disabling more dangerous events such as xeno mold and other events being worked on.

Respectfully, the mold is NOT why you stopped playing. Your inability (or unwillingness to figure out how) to conquer the mold is why you stopped playing.
My base was absolutely OVERRUN -- nearly full mold coverage; not so now. I figured it out and so might you, should you make that choice.

I GENUINELY hope that Nitrous Butterfly does NOT fire himself. The rest of the staff simply CANNOT carry the development load!

@Lori37 @ bubba***
I fully agree with your comments :) I too am thoroughly tired of people who want everything laid out on a plate for them .....
