reproduce

🏚️

[livid dragon]

As a stress response

[cursive lintel]

Okay lol

[toxic rock]

when threatened, jacknifes will reproduce at a rapid rate, scaring off the enemy by pure numbers.

[livid dragon]

Their fragmentation reproduction is highly fertilized by radiation. effectively making the GPO-N 250kt a catalyst that could threaten the local ecosystem

[coarse sparrow]

Grey goo!

[inner girder]

🥀

[toxic rock]

wait does this mod automatically turn itself off when you play mp?

[quaint linden]

The circle of life finally added to NO

[livid dragon]

Host dependent

[coarse sparrow]

This is CERTAINLY gonna be serverside, no way the client dupes host into this so no cheaty lmao

[umbral onyx]

the ever expanding swarm of jacknives will consume us all 🤣 🙏🕊️

[coarse sparrow]

Mission idea. Will try.

[lime hawk]

real?

[livid dragon]

The Hexhound GMG I deploy to destroy a medium hangar vs the Jacked-knife

[lime hawk]

why is the fps so slow

[livid dragon]

It's a gif lol

[lime hawk]

the frames are very... frame

[livid dragon]

Comedic purpose

[bronze nest]

nah its the jacked-knives

the sheer willpower makes the framerate suffer

[lime hawk]

that part was very funny though

just kept rebuilding

[bronze nest]

I still think it would be funnier if they multiply via repairs

would make destroying something near them a nightmare

[livid dragon]

They do lol

[bronze nest]

🙂

[livid dragon]

Mitosis (Every repair, reproduce 1 identical clone), Fragmentation (Every destruction, splits into 2 identical clones), Repair Speed Increase, and Omni-repair (As long as that structure didn't despawn)

[bronze nest]

I finally found a semi-reliable way to prevent a single shard from getting killed by the nothern bdf fleet on ignus... sadly they will run out of ammo and be weak to an alkyon or darkreach

if only a jackknife could fix a ship

[livid dragon]

You want them to evolve amphibous traits too?

[bronze nest]

Y E S

curse it

MAKE THEM FLY

give them vtol abilities and they become the ultimate repair unit

[livid dragon]

Here's a solution to prevent them running out of ammo

A single pallet can resupply an entire fleet indefinitely

[bronze nest]

I have tried so hard to get to the point of getting to resupply... and by that point Feldspar has been leveled and I have to baby it

because the AI won't stop throwing cruise missiles

anyway, im gonna get back to gaming before I have to die for the night

[bronze nest]

wait did you make them able to repair enrichment facilities?

surely not...

right?

that will be fun for tomorrow me

[livid dragon]

isrepair tag is added to everything, BUT that can only happen if said facility didn't despawn due to excessive damage

[coarse sparrow]

Had some non-harmless fun today. My 3060 started exhaling jet-hot air and fps dropped to like 0.5 and they started destroying each other ptobably by collision

[livid dragon]

You know what's the scariest part? They multiply in the mission editor

the horror

[coarse sparrow]

If you delete them? in editor

[livid dragon]

Yes

[coarse sparrow]

So, your script is checking them if they are being removed instead of being blown up. Probs a bug.

[livid dragon]

Thankfully they're not recorded as a valid entity by the JSON so the clone are not saved

[coarse sparrow]

Didn't try removing them in editor bc prefer automation and made factories and depots to spawn them and objective to go

[coarse sparrow]

Yeah it seems to consider editor a valid scene for this behaviour. Im scared too look at encyclopedia if so.

[livid dragon]

Don't worry I've put this in the source code
if (!EnableFragmentation.Value || GameManager.gameState == GameState.Encyclopedia) return;

Removing it would be funny but also torture
