Very true.

I do, of course, mourn the loss of wondrous WW1 grimdark rolling clouds of chemical warfare, but hey.

Well, consdiering I'm actually poking through the raws right now, I'd say taking away things that I was gonna take away anyway for FPS reasons is a suitable punishment. I won't elaborate here or in PM, but shame on you guys who made the updated spawn - not that i don't appreciate the efforts - I just need to remove certain traits that they shouldn't have.

But just as an example, I don't think degenerates would be smart enough to even know what a lock is, nevermind get doors open without smashing them. If I didn't know better, I'd say someone was try to deliberately kill us all with wild spawn.

Well :

...The Degenerate Spawns are smarter than I thought. I came to the realization that what I thought was fleeing was in fact some carefully planned guerilla tactic...

Edit: It reminds me of a "terrorist" variant of some creature that I created months ago. Upon death, it dropped a super-hot block of custom material that immediately turned into a red cloud of death that vaporized everything not immune to fire upon contact.

I have but one question: Do we keep the original name I was going to go with (Crystalclock,) go with something entirely random name generated, or keep to a weapon-verb/noun theme?

It's been Crystalclocks in my head for months now. Although I do think it might be a bit too dignified-sounding for the unholy clusterfuck that is to ensue.

Maybe something like "Clockbroken"?

I would just like to add that the phrase "dispenses beverage contemptuously" is the best thing I've read in a month.

Wait what that works now?

I could swear that the "dispenses beverage contemptuously"/"cheerfully dispenses beverage onto the ground" messages didn't work right for some weird reason...

Also you may want to tone them down a bit somehow if difficulty is a concern, as they're surprisingly sturdy and IIRC immune to magma due to their materials.

I like Clockbroken, and Clockbreakers seems fairly appropriate too. Whichever seems right.

3. Was there a third thing? I can't remember.
