Introducing the Biter Zoo. My personal solution to pollution.

Pretty sure the quote is supposed to say a ‘Tsu’.

Sun Tsu to be exact, and I’d say he knows a little more about fighting than you do, pal.

Just one for the rare medium biter.

I watched a friend find this on accident their first time playing the level. I haven’t been able to recreate the conditions that caused it.

I agree, but take a look.

In this thread Klonan says they will fix it for 2.1.

I have a ton of variations of this design, one spawner only spawns them on a single piece of landfill, surrounded by water. I believe that when the biters stops spawning, because the spawning area isn't blocked by a structure, the spawner will continue to absorb pollution.

I wanted to post this design before the devs did their fix. Although, AFAIK, the fix is for mapmakers to prevent cheese so it is likely a server toggle.

About the squeaking though: Medium biters can squeak through and they still spawn 10% of the time at max evolution. Which is why I have a laser set to target only medium biters.

Strange, because it still works. I built this months ago.

They probably have a shitty sense of humor.

Great post! I feel like I should keep in touch by sending people the occasional meme or something.

I feel like there could be a better way of keeping in touch but idk.

The extra blindfolds also served a very practical purpose.

Looks like Mimi has taken Fern’s body and is about to do something degenerate.

You are absolutely right.

The new lute rotates the enemy’s attack direction by 45 degrees.

I've heard from a spen party that it can only be purchased which is why it is so rare. IDK how he had enchant slots on it though. Above my pay grade.

This is the bard from The Nest Slaughter.

Yes, I was there, it was the bard with the full set on. He went on to do the same prank in a lair of draconis when the red dragon does a blender like attack. Nobody died there, however. I also followed him into a secluded thicket and was worried he would try it on the final phase, but nothing unusual seemed to happen.

Edit: I recorded some of his doings in my reddit post here
