I didn't read the description thoroughly before installing, and the fungal infections gave me quite a fright! I saw the giant spores floating around underground and figured touching the dust was a bad idea, but I didn't expect my dwarves to start transforming. Kind of fascinating.

@mrmistophelees :)

@ryno Hey, just wanted to say thanks again for a mod that feels interesting and unique. About the fungal stuff, I think it's an interesting idea and there is a place for that story for some people. It just feels a little too inevitable since there's no cure and it's really everywhere underground. And perhaps most importantly, I think players tend to get attached to the character they created in adventure mode, and then having it transform into a thrall seems kind of heartbreaking, although functionally, it hasn't changed the game play.
But I don't want to understate the fact that you put your heart and soul into the mod, and we really appreciate it! Thanks so much!

sounds pretty unholy. also while im here i would like to mention that ive been distracted by a new mod that has been taking most of my time. MVC will receive minimal new content in the meanwhile. and the next time i patch it ill probably just remove things if anything, such as the fungal infectors

I just came to say that the recent Elf invasion came with a Minecart person couple ridding matching war grizzly mounts, and that is very neat and funny.

@BoriSama someone made a mod that removes all the terrible things: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3302744089

Is there a way to remove this fungal infection from the mod? I really don't want to "clean units" every time from fear that all my dorfs transforms into shitake. I had to load a previous save because, suddenly, half my fortress was infected and transforming

all apologies for the fungal infection stuff in general

Whew... got it. Turns out, the clean function did not remove the actual syndrome I had. For those who want to remove that pesky spore syndrome, here is the command in dfHack:
modtools/add-syndrome -eraseAll -target 13525 -syndrome 252
Where -target [unit id]
To get your unit id, select your unit and type: lua print(unit.id)
Also note, the mod actually has three fungus-like syndromes, depending on which one you caught. The id for them all is 252, 253, 254.

@ryno In a previous reply, you mentioned you could remove the fungal infection with dfHack. Since I was unaware of the problem of fungal infections before I started my world, I was infected in adventure mode a long time ago. Now, my save game is at the point where my dwarf turns into a fungal thrall in a few more turns. I downloaded dfhack to try to prevent this catastrophe, but have not been able to change fate. I have used the cleaners command [clean units] to remove contaminants, [full-heal] to remove wounds and stuff, [clean items] to remove the fungal spores from all my items, and even opened up [gm-units] to completely remove an "unknown" wound off my character. I've saved the game and reloaded. And yet my dwarf STILL turns into a thrall the next time I fast travel and then look at him again.
Could you explain exactly how I could prevent this from happening, if it's possible?
Thank you for such an interesting mod!
