Spiders should get a refresh with Webber's rework

[Szczuku]

Merms got a slight AI upgrade and also now talk and stuff so that's cool.

Meanwhile Spiders, the most common enemies in the game, are still pretty bland. As in: they just walk, attack and occasionally eat.

I'd like them to have some idle animations. Beefalo for example can yawn, eat grass or simply blink. As far as I know spiders don't even blink. 

Spider's could for example form cocoons near their nests which could cointain stuff. And maybe they could overtake nearby structures/plants with web

I vote in favor of new idle animations and against the rest. They don't need more functionality precisely because they are the most common enemy in the game. Rarity goes hand in hand with difficulty in these things. You don't want something that's everywhere to suddenly become a pain in the butt.

 

(Spiders recruited by Webber on the other hand are a different matter and need a huge buff to bring them on equal ground with the other followers.)

Personally I'm all for advancing the AI of spiders but all I ask is that the number of spider nests be reduced to compensate for the AI increase.

Remove Webber’s silk beard, make him rely on other spiders weaving silk for him (literally the only useful thing spiders can do anyway..) he won’t have to kill his spider minions, they’ll just naturally give it to him, I think there’s a lot they can do with Webber and Spiders, Some spit Acid, others have hard shells they can hid in and some slink down from the ceilings to pounce their prey.

A spider character should be more Spider-like.. and I PRAY he can’t sleep at all at night and can only sleep during day just like all other spiders, but that’s about all I got to say.

maybe they can talk like mants in hamlet but you cant understand them if you are not weeber
