1) Take advantage of the attack indicators you added for Megafauna, effectively something similar to Goliath tendrils where there's a more complex attack pattern and you have to adapt.
2) A ranged attack that spirals outward from the mob, ignoring terrain - but it is also visible over terrain... thus people have to watch for the spin as it approaches and move accordingly
3) A burly melee mob that moves slowly but constantly tries to wall you in with some some sort of temporary obstruction
4) Mob with a "shield" that blocks all attacks from one side but occasionally stops to fire a charged range attack, so easy alone but extremely formidable with other hostiles in the vicinity
5) A ranged mob that has two halves that try to keep their distance from one another, if you don't kill the 2nd half within X seconds of killing the 1st - it regenerates the 2nd half. The surviving half will flee when one half is destroyed (but not full speed because thats just irritating).
6) More bullet hell type mobs like the colossus except make the attack patterns a little more interesting than just a fan of projectiles spreading outward.

Re: Jungle Mobs
Posted: Tue Apr 11, 2017 2:53 pm
I was reflecting on this and have one more critical thought about the jungle hostiles:
There needs to be a higher level of unavoidable damage. Watchers are the great equalizers of Lavaland. No matter how hot you think your shit is, watchers will straight fuck you up if you get too greedy. You can't reliably juke the projectile, the slow doesn't do much on its own but makes you far more vulnerable to other mobs. Outside of megafauna it feels like watchers are the only thing that can kill experienced miners.
That's not to say the mobs have to be super lethal, but they simply need to offer enough damage to be a deterrent. One of my chief concerns about this concept is that you'll have Tim Ebows who will run into the jungle at roundstart and come back 20 minutes later having effortlessly carved through a swath of corruption with no support due to perfect memorization of attack patterns, enemy weaknesses, optimal positioning, ideal gear loadouts, and able to charge into just about any situation without risk of death.
A higher degree of unavoidable damage would also give medical a badly needed purpose. The map could be sparse on medical supplies but if the damage comes in high, consistent levels then medical plays a more crucial role, i.e. like blob mode, where having medical personnel to immediately patch you up and provide more potent healing chems can get you back into the fight within seconds as opposed to minutes.
There should also be mechanics for even moderately powerful mobs that make solo'ing a nearly futile effort. Something like armor that regenerates within 2 seconds that blocks a single attack - a nightmare for a solo player but far easier for multiple crew to deal with.

You are never going to make players co-operate in this manner Robustin, its too much mental gymnastics for your average spacemen or to handle when a big ol monster bursts into a lowpop base and the people fight them 1v1 and end up simultaneously losing. Its why gear-checks are so important and why we don't co-operatively kill megafauna on lavaland, if the megafauna eats the straggling under performers & regains health its better for you to fight them alone.
Instead of everything having special powers, where do we stand on just normal simple animals?

> Borrow swarmer mechanics, after every X amount of meat eaten off a corpse you can lay a egg meaning that carnivores & herbivores rove around looking for resources off swarmer code attached to meat/plant matter. Herbivores move towards regrowing fruits & plants on the map, drop eggs/live birth after eating X amount and the carnivores follow them.
I mean this ecology already has a purpose, instead of giant spiders etc. you'd have your own infestation of predators eating the crew nesting in the base because it just highlights itself up to them as a large compound of 'herbivores'
Necropolis encroachment if its all predators would throw the system out of whack.

Irl sure theres things that would kill you in the forest
Bears, Wolfs, cougars, fuckin cayoties, but its not like they really eat eachother as the main food source right? And clearly people aren't their main food source. So what do they all eat? Stupid rabbits, deer, and fish, also sometimes plants. So you need a shitty fucking species that exists to run and get eaten so yes.
Like goldgrubs
And preferably mammal like.

I know people hate watchers for the very reason you are listing but I feel like it will be easier to justify "unfair" monsters if they are occupying the space replacement (a no go zone) vs something people are forced to deal with as a job.
Having very experienced players do the whole thing alone or in pairs is definitely a risk though.

Enemies with unavoidable attacks/stuns should be mostly dealt with roundstart by having buddies, but it should also be manageable by having advanced equipment. Otherwise you're going to get lowpop miners or other solo situations where they just can't handle certain monster types.
Defensive anti-beast equipment (Thermal armor vs watchers, for example) would be cool, non-validhunting gear that would give miners the option to go alone and stray further more safely, as a reward for mining well in the early game.

Remember that (somewhat impractical) stand that did extra damage when stabbing you in the back?
A fast, semi weak mob that uses hit and run tactics (and much better damage when it gets you in the back) + attacks in groups would be pretty fun.
Against a group of players they wouldn't be much of a threat, but against a lone dude without a big gun, you could easily get gang banged, especially if you try run away.
They wouldn't want a fair fight - they're faster than you and will zip around and try and stab you in the back, slowly whittling you down.
Some kind of typically passive mob that only attacks if very hungry/self defence UNLESS you're bleeding. If you're bleeding ,it attracts these motherfuckers from a significant distance like a swarm of piranhas to try eat your dumb ass.
Nasty snakes/alien equivalent that is usually hard to see. Some angry ones will bite you with nasty ass venom if you accidentally step on them or angry fucking brown snake equivalents that will hunt you down and murder your ass if you fuck them off.
Also herbivore type mobs can still be dangerous as fuck. Just because shit like a rhino or a boar are happy eating plants doesn't mean they won't kill you dead if you force them to fight. Even a cow can gore or kick someone to death, which would be pretty amusing here.

Once they get close they pop up, causing a chasm to appear around them, which goes to lavaland. They then shoot acid at you.
To defeat them you need to used ranged weaponry or abscond. Or you can use a hook to ride them.

- keeps to his own
- has a lair
- don't go near him!
- if he sees you, he'll get angry!
- he's very strong

Go full jungle and have spiny catapiller like creatures as your herbivore. only hostile to plant people (walking food?) and skele-men (walking calcium?) otherwise use a retaliate/run system where the smack into you for low damage + poision (just a paralizer , not deadly on its own but if say a leaper gets atracted you might be screwed) or and book it at top speed if you stop moving/attacking. They eat fruiting plants and cuttings left behind by clear-cuting or combat and seed empty clearings with new fast growing trees to re-gen the forest. They are the primary food of near everything so can serve to attract enemy's if you have them in too high a density.

What fucking moron would think that adding a watcher firing tasers with a heavy attack that poisons you was a good idea? Sure your buddy can save you, that you're now REQUIRED to have because getting hit once is a death sentence, but that still doesn't make fighting a mob that's constantly fucking tazing you fun or, god forbid, balanced.
Imagine fighting an unstunnable sec officer with a 25 damage baton that poisons you, that's what you added.
