This is just ideas about fungus growing in the colonies. Suggestion based on initial idea by someone i forgot (probably on G+), my own ideas and later comments in Discord by 4N3G4ZPK20, Phap, scooterman31, mijkolsmith | This is just ideas about fungus growing in the colonies.

The purpose of it is that it gives colonies more food. Up to 100% extra food income. | |||
== Colony properties == | |||
A colony with fungus chamber has two more values: | |||
* Fungus size: 1% - 100 % (0% when there is no fungus inserted in the fungus chamber) | |||
* Fungus pollution: 0% - 100% | |||
The normal workers fetching food handle feeding and handling the fungus. No special setting for that. | |||
