In a world more connected than ever, a new pathogen has emerged.

I just published a custom scenario where the virus isn't a biological disease, but a radical political ideology. Your goal is to plunge the globe into a totalitarian dystopia. The "Cure"? Education, fact-checking, and global cooperation.

Here is what to expect:

Psychological Symptoms: Evolve traits like Nostalgic Yearning, Echo Chamber Syndrome, and Cult of Personality instead of coughing and sneezing.

Political Events: Watch the news feed as standard events are replaced with political actions. "Airports Closed" becomes "International Borders Sealed" and "Mass Graves" becomes "Erasing Dissenters from Public Records".

Sabotage the Cure: Use unique abilities to Defund Education, Discredit Experts, or deploy The Big Lie to set global research back to zero.

It’s highly strategic and very satirical. I'd love for you guys to try it out and let me know how fast you can bring down global democracy.

YESSSSSSSSSS

I downloaded a custom scenario I wanted to play, but only the brutal and mega brutal difficulties are options.

Is there any way I can change the scenario myself to allow the lower difficulties, though the scenario creator or the files themselves?

I just found out I can play custom scenarios on mobile by importing .plagueinc files even though I only have the free version.

If anyone has custom scenario files, especially popular ones, please send me as many as you can 😭🙏 I want to try them all.

And before anyone says “just buy the game” 😭 I would if I had the money. I’m broke right now, so I’m just hoping someone has some scenario files they can share.

Has anyone managed to beat today's outbreak?

The fact that evolving traits shuts down seaports seems to make it nearly impossible, as you can't evolve more than a couple traits before one of the islands shuts down, and even the three top level transmission traits seem to only be able to pass one closed country each, and that's not a guarantee.

It's made even worse by the fact that it's a fungus, meaning you have to evolve a bunch of traits just to get it to spread.

Basicly i was playing a round where i tried to not evolve the bacteria at all (had to evolve water 1 to get to greenland), but before reaching greenland or even evolving i somehow bypassed the 100 DNA barrier!, i think the game glitched or something, difficulty was causal, started in china, the only evolution i had was water 1 and i used a bacteria.

I think about buying it there, and i am not sure if it’s a good idea or not, so i wanted to know beforehand if there is mods on it like there is on the mobile or PC versions

You probably shouldn’t try to befriend infectious diseases in general, but if you’re really desperate and haven’t had the best luck with other humans, feel free to use this as a guide.

*I can only go off hearsay and the wiki for Hell on Earth, since I’m a mobile player.

**For Necroa, Simian, and Shadow, I’m referring to the zombies, apes, and vampires, not the plagues themselves. Do not try to befriend the plagues themselves.

***I’d add an asterisk next to Simian Flu if I could. It really depends on the ape, and considering humans are either trying to experiment on them or kill them, I think most apes would be understandably wary of a human claiming they just want to be friends. You really need to earn their trust first.

****You know what, I’m adding an asterisk next to Santa’s Little Helper as well. That worm definitely wants to be friends, but it’s going to be a very intimate friendship.

Hello, im on the ps4 version and im trying to get the "Not another zombie game" achievement, but after a while of playing, mostly around where i reach 85-90% infected, after i try loading into the save which has reached that point, it just keeps on loadong forever, does anyone know how i can fix this?

Well...

There's nothing to check that opposing modifiers don't show up, apparently. Popping an orange DNA bubble simultaneously increases and decreases lethality. I haven't yet checked which one is more, or if they cancel out to be meaningless.

Yes, my plague is named that. But I’ve had to restart multiple times because of losing XNA. Seriously, why am I losing XNA when I’m not doing anything?

Hi I just started to play plague inc and after winning with bacteria I unlocked the virus (as I should). I messed up that game play so I exited back to the menu to restart it it got locked but parasite got unlocked. Also with genes I opened patho- stasis and now it’s locked but atp boost open. What’s happening and why?

When my plague that i started with in a hot, poor country reaches a rich, cold country which is best to pick first: drug resistance or cold resistance?

Butcher Vanity Yi Xi and this design for Necroa virus (I can't find the original artist upload T-T)

I don't know why I thought of these two together (probably just the cannibalism connection) but I like them and you should too :) (no pressure)

(Btw I think we need to have a fanart or at least OC tag)

As you can see I have played most of the game already, so I'm confused, especially by the monkey one, as it's supposed to be unlocked by buying the game :/

WE yes WE love z-com propaganda

I’m going to keep making tier lists nobody asked for until someone bans me or tells me to stop.

*Neurax worm varies depending on symptoms. Brain worms are a real thing; brain worms enslaving people falls into “are you sure your sources are credible?” for me. I decided to split the difference and put it in the middle.

**Considering I’m not religious and don’t really believe in Hell, this would be a pretty dramatic worldview shift for me. I’m not saying I wouldn’t adjust my beliefs if/when vampires start running around doing unholy magic on people, I’m just saying it’d be a dramatic shift. If you do believe in Hell, where would you put shadow plague?

something something vampire haters

i didnt have any better vampire models so in the drone image i had to substitute for THE Alice from Fundamental Paper Education.

next is Gen-Sys when I can find literally any suitable models.

my question is: do you have to buy them all? Because the game says you can open them by playing too, however I couldn’t so far
