g Purple lifespan

7 years ago

Hi, got a few purples wafting through my base (a result of nanobot's termite bots, and point defence causing a minor war XD)

Placed a load of UV lamps down and ..... the spores just went over them and carried on. Were not affected, or so it seemed.

So my questions are; what is the lifespan of a spore under UV, and does having multiple UV lamps decrease it?

Thanks, Coffee Daemon

Hi, Coffee Daemon!

  1. Multiple UVs should decrease the potential lifetime of Wisps;
  2. UVs should be powered well i.e. > 60% of the green bar.
  3. Exact logic for Purples:
    energy - chance to despawn
    <=60% - 0%
    65% - 10%
    100% - 45%

And for optimization reasons check above will be produced for 1/7 of all UVs every 53 gsme ticks i.e. if you have 7 lamps on full power then will be 7 "rounds" for Purples every 6.2 sec with the 55% chance to survive.
