I of course refer to the devlog, is the appropriate image.

My interest here is in how exactly the enemies pick the 'best' targets.
My assumption is that the attacks have a tendency to strike at [HEAD], [UPPERBODY] and [LOWERBODY] tagged body parts, and possibly throats as well (though this might fall under [HEAD] with the vanilla body constructs).
I presume in this case that the tendency to strike these tags will flow on into your non-aimed attacks in adventurer mode.
Since everything already has a relative size, I further assume that this also impacts the likelihood of attacks hitting.

How accurate is this?

Nobody knows, the release hasn't been released yet.

Except for Toady, of course, and he does answer questions. Your best bet would be to ask here, in green text. Toady's been on a roll lately as far as answering questions goes.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.
