A map to trial a few extras bolted on to planetfall's Tentacle script. LAG FLAG. Will likely be slow on 4x, but OK on 1x speed. The tentacle network now contains Spores, and for the (un)lucky, power cores. There are a few puzzle elements to the map, but I have tried to make it possible for those who have bad luck as well as good. It is difficult to lose. Feedback is good.
It doesn't go to 4x speed, I am playing now and it is stuck at 1x. Is this some feature you have incorporated or is this a bug?
I have done nothing to enforce 1x, only recommended it against lag.
Maybe game is having some sort of extreme lag protection what prevents 4x speed in this map? :o
Virgil?
It didn't seem to in testing. It sometimes looked like 1x because it couldn't run the code at 4x... (4x ran slower, sometimes, likely because the game tried to do 4x the work and couldn't in time).
The
Spoiler
Thor's main weapon
comes in very handy.
oh god...I powered through this map in a bit over an hour (would have been done SOOOOOOO much faster, but I completely forgot about building the Thor once I got it, that said it IS possible to win without it, but it's a major pain in the ass)
