"Corruption in the world manifests as a result of player activity."
Events and story arcs can lead to the spreading of corruption that players will have to fight back against."
- options are leave it alone or fight it. if its constantly fought against and won, will the options for gathering be gone? will there be an option for players to spawn corruption as well as remove it?
- would this result in a need to constantly start events and arcs to gather? also a time limit if its being dealt with swiftly.

"But corruption is not all bad, because corruption changes spawners and it changes populations and it changes resources that become available- unique resources... So there is a relevance- meaningful component of why that corruption would want to be interacted with from the player's perspective. But it's a push and pull situation. That's really what corruption is intended to provide, push and pull between the advancement of society and what was there that's more feral."
- original questions posted to maybe get more info on the "push and pull" part of that.
