Lets say you were to drop Terraria corruption and crimson into a modern world's ocean and let it spread, how fucked would that world be?

Not tg but whatever. It would have no effect as crimson/corruption cannot spread through sand

>What is crimson desert biomes?

Not Veeky Forums. Hell, not even Veeky Forums adjacent.

And the "recommend me a fantasy anime" thread is? Veeky Forums never was the best at board purity.

Bump

Fantasy is at least tangentially Veeky Forums adjacent. a shitty 2D minecraft clone is not.

>A building simulator with surprisingly deep lore about Cthuluhu's dead body corrupting a fantasy world isn't Veeky Forums related by muh animu is because it's also in the fantasy genre but is different somehow because?

I understand, Veeky Forums is not /b/, but still.

Adding to this, remember all of those super stand sunday threads we used to have? Veeky Forums is basically the world building board.

That only applies to worlds in Hard Mode. We have no reason to believe anyone in a modern world would have defeated the Wall of Flesh.

Ignoring that, that world would be completely fucked. Destroying corruption isn't that difficult, since it can be done with explosives, but getting the explosives to the bottom of the ocean would be difficult — but the problem is actually that no one would know about it. It would spread through the core of the earth in no time and then you're done. By the time we saw monsters from it, it would be too deep to get to.

To be fair it spreads pretty fucking slowly seeing how a Terraria world is walking distance. But what if some of the corruption started off on land?

It spreads fast enough, and you have to destroy all of it to get rid of it. And because it spreads equally in all directions unless impeded, the big problem is how much spreading it does downwards.

If it goes unnoticed for even a few weeks, you are fucked. There will be a threshold point where you can't make enough explosives, or make them fast enough, or deliver them deep enough. Once it reaches a certain size or depth it is simply impossible to stop.

This has been done, too. It's essentially the major plot of Stranger Things 2, and it was even done in that dumb action comedy Evolution.

Can't it be stopped by clay?

Not to mention sunflowers slow it down.

This shit.
If it happens far off shore we won't even notice the monsters for weeks as they don't stray too far from the infected land and no government would jump instantly the second vague stories about odd fish washing up or being caught in nets get mentioned. Assuming it's modern enough for youtube to exist you'd see it there first before anything official ever happens.

That really only works in 2D. We're looking at exponential growth.

Pre hardmode it doesn't spread through mud, and it doesn't corrupt mineral ores like iron lead and etc.

Worst case scenario though we have a dogscape situation on our hands and possibly a better one than dogs scape, since it doesn't spread into the jungle until hard-mode, most fruits and vegetables garnered from the rainforest would still be salvageable. Depending on how much the corruption fucks our food supply though monsters could be the least of our worries as we witness a mass starvation pandemic and the death of millions

We just need allot of sunflowers.

Are the monsters spawned from the corruption/crimson edible?

The crimson? I dunno, the corruption on the other hand...

It's a shame crimson enemies only drop vertebrae and not femurs or something. Unlimited marrow bones would be an upside at least
