Terramites are almost usefull

[PonyOfApocalips]

Terramites feel like most wasted potential in game- everytime when i have idea to use them in contaption they fail. I used them to farm scrap- they broke cause of spiders and cattcoons. I used them to farm rock avocados they broke since they mine them and that cout at tool usege- i undestood that Terramites shouldnt be infinite tool and weapon, but to they really had to be weapon? I feel like winbots find their place in many contraptions bacause almost no mob care about their existence and i thnik terramites would benefit from that state.

Only good use I have found is fencing 2 terramites in a small grass and twigs area. They will cut down grass automatically as long as the area is small enough. This takes no durability from the terramites.

If the area is too big they'll miss most of it. So things that take more space like banana bushes really don't work, unless there's very little of them planted.

By this point you also have a Reaper, though. Far before this point.

Warblers could only be weapon. And Terramites could only be tool.

At this point i have auto twighs and grass farm from gecos and gators/Twiggy tree

as a point of reference they should be buffed so 3 of them can reliably take down regular toadstool's trees.

And make friendly warblers a thing already

Durability is the main issue.

I also think they would benefit from the option to toggle their "modes" as well. There are too many times I drop them during a hound wave and they just run off to chop things, or I drop them at base to play and they run off to chop my decorative trees... Maybe they should have a "play" mode where they play and attack hostiles - no chopping/mining, and "neutral" where they act how they do now. But I get the idea is they are gestalts with a mind of their own, so I don't know if this idea ruins their design philosophy.

repairing them shouldn't be locked behind scion, they arent nearly useful enough to warrant fighting such a dangerous boss, especially when you can just switch to winona and clear out a forest in a matter of seconds

Yeah, but they dont lost it when they do things player can do with bare hands. The problem is most od this staff like scrap is near enemies.

I suspect they currently exist to give a reason to rematch Celestial Scion. I bet they will remain almost useful until things post-Celestial Scion gets fleshed out more.

[Frosty_Mentos]

I REALLY hate how frail they actually are.

do you actually believe they will eventually be touched? I can bet they are not going to see a change ever, just like other uninteresting boss drops

100%, but it might take a long time. Probably the next time the focus on the lunar side of things, which I presume won't be the next few updates.
