Does anyone know when the interludes happen. Especially some of the later ones?
Also what do you think of them.

One happens the first time one of your cities is attacked by a mindworm, and a second interlude when you capture your first mindworm.
They're alright. Might be better further in the game.

Actually, there are more, even in the demo:
- The first "natural" fungal bloom--when the fungus blooms of its own accord, not because you activated a supply pod.
- When you PRODUCE your first mindworm unit.
- When you produce your first Centauri Preserve.
- I believe you receive one on the second fungal bloom and upon the discovery of Centauri Psi as well, but someone else would have to verify this.
All those are just in the demo. More to come for the full game.

How do you get a natural fungal bloom ?
I havent seen any of them, though I have had it from a supply pod many times

"Natural" Fungal blooms when you produce too many mines, mining platforms, boreholes and such.
I produced too much of 'em and got my entire continent ran over by fungus...

There is another when your first produced mindworm dies. And another when you take a city near the place it died.
