Hello community,
My 5 year old nephew asked me a question, as he watched me play Starcraft sometimes. You know how really young kids can be annoying with questions?
Question 1:
How can zergs send worms through underground tunnels?
Well, the Nydus network goes underground and the worms pop up wherever zerg has vision ... BLA BLA BLA .. ground units use worms to get to some places faster and they travel inside the worm - I explained to him
Well do you know the map called Scrap Station? This is where he pwned me with
Question 2:
How can zergs send nydus worms to the island expansions, they teleport it through space?
So, the discussion was not exactly like that, the kid is young, and we talked in romanian. But really, he asked a question i believe that few people and starcraft2 fanatics failed to ask. I pretty much believe the little guy is a genius!

Its a game?
Its not supposed to be logic, and he is not a genious. He has common sense, but no one really cares. You can come up with tons of examples like this... How does an Ultralisk fit an Overlord?
Tell him its a game not everything has to be logic.
|
Haha I never thought of that, logic win!
|
Yeah, sorry to tell you, but no one has really cared about Nydus worms going to expansions on islands. For example, I could tell you that the Nydus worm can camouflage it's torso for protection, so it does extend beyond space, but you can't see it.
|
Genius may be a stretch, but he sure seems astute for a 5 year old. I've never actually thought about nydus worms like that before, haha.

Someone already posted this issue in a thread about some weird stuff - like colossus/ultralisk fitting inside warpprism/ovie.
|
The same way mutalisks fly in space or ghosts survive without oxygen.

but you thought of Nydus Worms camouflaging thier bodies when exposed? I thought I was being original...

Tell him to watch the first 3 of the Tremors movies it will explain how all things worm related are possible.
|
Ask him how warp in works, or how a larva can turn into an ultralisk 20 times the size.

BUT....who said worms tunnel the most direct route? 
Were assuming on scrap station the tunnel like this a ---- b
but in scrap they could tunnel like this U
? ...
.....oh wait you said the island expansion :O.....then indeed this imposes a dilemma lol

It's not impossible, you just aren't thinking outside of the box.

Man, don't be so sure about that. Maybe there is are really good explanation you have no idea of.

To get to the island expo from space the worm jumps outwards towards the island. The gravity from the mainland is weak enough such that the worm can reach the island expo and start burrowing into it.
|
It jumps through time and space, entering a 4th dimension of sort.
