webber A minor oversight with destructive consequences.

[Kitty Cat Meow]

For a webber player with a spidery base, a player ghost can be their worst nightmare.

If a player ghost were to haunt a spider den, it would send the spiders from that den into another nearby den. causing them to destroy it.

Example here:

Now scale up that idea, What if somebody has around 12 spider dens? Most of their food supply and all of their defenses would crumble before them, just because of a ghost clicking on their dens.

I uploaded some code I stole a mod that helps people prevent this from happening by showing them how to space their spider dens far enough apart.

Spoiler

People are upset, 312+ players subscribed to this mod to try getting around this issue, but spacing your spider dens that far apart can make it difficult to set up defenses and whatnot.

I asked my acquaintance BirdyMurakami for his thoughts on this, this is what he said.

My thoughts on the matter? Well I find it quite frustrating how ghosts can just kill off my spiders whenever they please. According to my comrade, I have to have them spaced far enough in order to prevent any destruction. However, spider harvesting is not as easy to do with that precaution.

Update: It's been fixed! The legion of webbers will rise again!
