Question

What if I can't think of a cool name for my fungus?

Community Answer

It isn't strictly vital, but you could try Latin names which is where most disease names are rooted. You could also go for something funny that relates to you. .

Question

I do not have access to modifying the genes. Is it still possible to do it on brutal mode for all plague types without modifying genes?

Community Answer

Its possible, but incredibly brutal (as the name suggests.) I would recommend buying it; it's a low price, and worth it.

Question

I've done everything carefully but I never have enough DNA points to evolve. What do I do?

Community Answer

A strategy that has worked for me on every mode there is is to basically just evolve infectivity (like blood, water air, etc.) and NEVER get any symptoms. The moment you do, they will find the cure really soon. When you have the whole world infected and a good amount of DNA saved up you'll want to get 'total organ failure' and gangrene. Or really whatever you have enough DNA to spend on. Another helpful tip would be to get immunity to antibiotics, and maybe if you're feeling rich get the climate upgrades. If your disease ever evolves any symptoms, always devolve them. When the whole world is infected, get rid of transmissions to save DNA.

Question

I followed all of the steps, and I was able to get most of the symptoms you told us to get. However, I wasn't able to get total organ failure due to lack of DNA. Is there any way to fix this?

A good strategy is to save lots of DNA for the end of the game in fungus mode. Before the whole world is infected, you should only spend DNA points on transmission and resistances. Try only buying the first level of these rather than upgrading them to level two unless you see necessary. Devolve every symptom that mutates, which will give you 2 DNA points for free. Don't buy any symptoms or allow any to mutate until the whole world is infected. Try to save around 100 points for the end to buy the most brutal symptoms. Quickly buy symptoms to beat the cure. If you're lucky, total organ failure may even mutate at the end.

Question

Can you beat the entirety of Plague inc. using no genes whatsoever?

Levi Roth

Community Answer

Yes, it is possible. This is just slightly more difficult, as the genes just boost your abilities.

Question

This is not working. No DNA points left for symptoms in the end.

Community Answer

The trick to fungus mode is that having any symptom whatsoever will let the world know there's a new disease, and people will start making the cure too early for you to possibly win. You must devolve every symptom until the entire world is infected so no one realizes there's a new fungal disease, and once you get the "whole world infected" pop-up, suddenly use all the DNA points from devolving all the mutated symptoms to make your disease as lethal as possible.

Question

Why do I suddenly stop getting DNA points?

Astro_Firey

Community Answer

This could be because there are no more people left to infect or can be infected.
