Man, I am REALLY bad at changelogs. |

| - tweak: "Buffed blob, it will now attempt about 20% more often. Lowered laser resistance of a blob to compensate." |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Attempt to spread, thanks for cathing that.
Increases blob growth speed slightly, as well as makes them completely opaque.
I dont think you understand the effect this has on the balance of fighting blobs. |

Don't like it. Blobs are already just a headache on the Torch, this will make it worse. Opaque and spreading faster? Really don't like it. |

Blobs actually have a significant slowdown after reaching a certain count due to how it 'does' expansion. Sure, it speeds up a bit initially, but after reaching a certain size, it more or less stops growing. Also, this "speed" is four seconds, down from five. It's not a BIG difference. People blow blobs out of proportion. They are easily repaired once killed if your engineers are not lazy as /fuck/. If I can make them visible on mesons, I will. Blobs, as-is, tend to be rather cheesable by their lack of diagonal growth, and never really are a problem due to the current meta of smacking them with axes (Which is moronic but that's a whole other topic.) This more or less just prevents someone from soloing FULLY GROWN blobs (Which I have seen MANY TIMES) by gunning for cores with a fire-axe. |

Consider porting tgblob we fixed that entirely |
|
This seems fine, to me. It was a little silly that they weren't opaque. |
|
I really think only strong blobs should be opaque, not all blob walls altogether, and I've been pushing for the opaque thing for a while now. |
|
If the strong blobs are exclusively opaque... What stops people from immediately gunning for cores anyways? They'e still identifiable. "All personnel must help contain the outbreak". Comes to mind on why this is mysteriously too much?... I can sit and eat coffee and drink donuts while two people are axefighting the blob, and the worst that happens is a broken arm. |
Also makes them weaker to lasers, and spread just slightly faster.
Input on these tweaks would be appreciated.
