The world of Mold is fascinating. The game will have many types of mould which the player will need to identify correctly and use when needed:

Mold life cycle

Every mould has 3 stages of its life cycle:

1. Early
   • The first stage of the mould when it first appears in a moist room
2. Spread
   • This is when the mould is most-spread around the room, but it has not bloomed yet
3. Bloom
   • The most active phase, where the mould blooms and spreads its spored all around the room.

Mold functionality

Scraping

The player can use a scraper to scrape off mold off a wall. When they scrape it off it applies a masking shader to the mold render layer, and keeps track of the collider. If the total area that was masked is above 95% of the mold the mold despawns with all the masking decals

Scraping will drop scraped-off mold variants of the mold. The player may inspect them or use them in crafting

The scraping tool slowly loses durability when used. Lower durability decreases the chance of a successful scrape, where a fully repaired scraping tool will have a 100% chance of successfully scraping and then the percentage slowly falling down
