i remember during beta they were trying to make a visual effect so you could see where the nydus was heading, but they couldn't figure out a visual effect for an island. personally i wouldn't have minded its giant ass stomach hanging out in space heading towards an island. they obviously eventually scrapped the idea

if you are going to test this logic though, how do you explain its multiple heads coming from one spot. where does its waste product go?

You see those cables connecting the main bases on scrap station? I presume that the worms dangle fro the island and connect the main base, drooping similarly.

how can zerg units INSTANTANEOUSLY travel from one end of the worm to the other even when both ends are on complete opposite sides of the map? Regardless of the fact that they can cut across terrain by using an underground tunnel network, they still should take some amount of time to cross it, yes? Unless the worm is sucking them through with high-tensile peristaltic muscles lining it's gullet or something... That's my theory anyway.


if i knew the answer i would be rich with a nobel prize in physics!

Patch 1.4:

Nydus worms can only be built in locations accessible by ground.

Someone already posted this issue in a thread about some weird stuff - like colossus/ultralisk fitting inside warpprism/ovie.


Colossi into Warp prims make sens, since units in warp prims are converted into energy or something.
Like in the Single player mission where Zeratul need to find the Overmind, he unlock warpgate tech and some units get unstuck from it. They were into some sort of matrice i suppose..

The kid is very observant for his age, train him to become an engineer so he can located and then solve those problems or a detective/lawyer since his skills would apply to that as well.

The secret is that it's another worm with coincidentally the same units inside of it that pops out on the island.

There was a thread a few months ago that I can't seem to find showing the actual sizes of every unit compared to each other, where a hydra is twice as tall as a marine, tanks are 10 times bigger, etc. The battlecruiser's actual size was about half the size of Lost Temple. ALL of lost Temple.

Yeah, 4 stalkers could totally kill that.

Here is the logic explanation :

All sorts of zergs units are waiting underground.
With the vision of an overlord you can send a nydus worm wich is just a parasite that quickly grow underground and swollow the units wich were already there and get them on outter ground.

But you'll ask ;

Why do I have to send units in the first canal ?

Units in the first canal are buried and the worm can eat they living soul and send them telepathically to the worm on the island so he can revive and mind controle the exact same units.

now you know : 2 telepathic worms + the fact that there are zerg units under EVERY ground

The campaign always kinda did mess with my head. The BC cant transport units, yet the entire storyline takes place in multiple rooms up in the hyperion, one of which was housing a viking, tank, thor, 2 heavy bio units & a few spider mines :S

The answer to why nydus worms can teleport units can be explained by the same reasoning that allows protoss to warp in units and buildings from Aiur.

Actually they have a neural chip in their (prisoner's) head that teaches Marine combat. So 25 seconds is time is pretty much the space suit fitting time you saw from sc2 opening.
