DegenerateFurry Posted January 20, 2025 Share Posted January 20, 2025 The title is approximately half a joke. What I'm actually here to talk about is how these thieving subterranean scumbags steal every scrap of flint seconds into the first day. It makes the early-game flint economy suffer, particularly on dedicated servers, because you can be running towards flint only to get it snatched by a star-nosed swindler before you can grab it and make a pickaxe with it. Not as big of a problem in solo, but it can be annoying. Maybe we could get a one-day delay on initial moleworm spawning in the biomes nearest to spawn (so, not birchnut forest, as a way to let WX-78s still speedrun night vision)? I'm not gonna pretend they're completely without their uses - some people like moggles, and you can also set up a decent morsel farm if you just relocate a bunch of them to a bait pen with a rock in it. But, that's stuff you won't really be doing on the first day, usually. Feel free to either discuss that or share negative moleworm experiences. Or, hell, defend the stone-slurping scamps if that's your inclination. I don't make the rules.

marshyds Posted January 21, 2025 Share Posted January 21, 2025 they should be able to digest items, this would benefit nobody and make the game worse.

Mr.Oshiro Posted January 21, 2025 Share Posted January 21, 2025 It would be better to concentrate them in a small area in the initial biome.

DegenerateFurry Posted January 21, 2025 Author Share Posted January 21, 2025 I will forever hold a grudge against moleworms because of the day that I learned they can trigger gunpowder by eating it. I saw a gunpowder boon and figured I'd go over and grab it. A moleworm was approaching it at the same time, so I thought I should be quick to get it before it does. We grabbed it at almost the same time, which meant that it exploded right next to me, which killed me.

Yeah, but I was talking about new world/new join into a server conditions. As in, you're trying to find flint to get a pickaxe. Can't make a shovel if you don't have flint for a pickaxe, can you? 4 hours ago, Well-met said: this is hilarious and 100% your own fault That doesn't mean I can't blame an unthinking mob in a video game for the funny consequences of my ignorance of obscure mechanics.
