Any code diggers know how Gnats build their nest? I don't know if they need any special conditions, or if they just do it.

I spawned some snapteeth (Snaptoothi?)

Also, do they attack mobs?

1. I'm p sure if you just spawn a nest, Gnats will spawn. It's kinda like Monkey Barrels or Spider dens. The building needs to exist before the mob exists.

2. It's Snapteeth.

3. AFAIK they do not attack mobs, however mobs attack them.

The question was if they built the nest, however.

I know they come from the nest, but I don't want to spawn a nest, because there's an actual, non-console way to transport them threw DLCs.
So I wanted to know if they would build the nest if I brought them to another DLC. Thanks, tho.

They're not one of those mobs, unfortunately.

So they don't nest? Darn.

@watermelen671 mind data mining the gnats and beanbugs in the gameplay?

Okay, so I went to go check, and it turns out they do nest, which is really neat.

Looks like they updated the gnat animation. They now have actual bug designs.

Didn't they always?

[minespatch]

Nevermind. The stream showed them clearer.

I think gnat mounds will event spawn if you mine them and kill their residents. Once I mined gnat mounds and then went to toxic jungle with all the flies on me to kill them off. Later I found mound(s) on the very edge of said biome. Weird, to say the least.

Transporting them trough DLCs like that seems clever. Also a good way to multiply them, probably. When you take gnats away, new will spawn. Then you can bring the old ones and they'll make new mound. I suppose so, at least.

I mean...yeah...they're living beans.

I would daresay even go as far as saying they're human beans.

They die when you cook them, if you don't want to eat them alive.  (shudder)

It's a bit morbid putting them near a hanging vine.

They're bouncing all happy like one moment, then the next they're gone.

I love it.

[minespatch]

Okay, I think this is where my confusion came from. This is the gnats from Beta.

[Maxposting]

what sort of .tex file is THAT

Wait what? I don't think this was used, I played the beta when it first came out and they didn't look like this, that is odd. Where'd you find this? Now you've peaked my interest.

Samesies.  I love it when people data mine and we get to see all the possibilities that developers considered and rejected.

Well then luckily for you I kept the beta files. 

[watermelen671]

Okay so I'm home now, and I got a new pair of shoes! 

But anyways...

Yeah no it's exactly the same, I think the image minispatch posted is of the fx texture:

And that must've been what tripped him up.

Actually really cool how they pulled that off, now that I'm looking at it.

It seems that quite a few creepy sounds have been added. Likely to be just ambient sounds considering that they are in the DLC003_AMB_stream file. But damn, are they creepy.

Files have DA_A/DA_DR/DA_GJ/DA_LP/DA_R/DA_S prefixes. There is 276 of these files.

Either way:

*TURN VOLUME DOWN*

1 - DA_C

2 - DA_C

3 - DA_DR (DR for Danger?)

4 - DA_DR

5 - DA_GJ

6 - DA_LP (LP for Loop?)

7 - DA_R

8 - DA_S

Could these be the ambient sounds for the Aporkalypse? Or maybe a brand new area?

Also, not too sure if they are actually active in the game right now.

Or if they've been before. But I haven't seen them before!

This was a little late but it was in the perfect situation so i had to do it

I just found this on youtube. Anyone know what it is?

Dearest Melen and Co.,

I'm sure you'll be on this in due time, BUT I REALLY NEED A HIT OF THAT LIVING ARTIFACT, and you provide the best ref in town. Thank you for the time you put supplying us with those searing hot animations and high-res art.

Sincerely, 

An Addict of Ancient Robot Tech

 

In all honesty, take as long as you need. I've got a few projects queued up anyway, I'm just particularly smitten by this newfangled thing.

Transformation sound, probably.
