Calamities

A Calamity targeting a player will cause the Mycophobia track to begin.

Calamity Mobs

General Spawning

• Spawned from a Womb when it reaches 100 biomass. Depending on where a Parent Signal occurred will change what class of Calamity results from the spawned Womb.

  • If no specific conditions are met for a Parent Signal, it will result in a Land Calamity.

  • If a Parent Signal occurred at or below Y=63, it will result in a Ground Calamity.

  • If a Parent Signal occurred at or below Y=70 and, in a 14x14x14 block area around the Parent Signal, there are 7 or more Water Blocks, it will result in a Water Calamity.

  • If a Parent Signal occurred at or above Y=90, it will result in an Air Calamity.

  • There's a 30% chance that the Womb will spawn the incorrect Calamity type. 

Tier-Unique Mechanics

Rooting

Calamities can only become Rooted if they have 0 Kill Points, are below 30% health, and don't currently have a target. While Rooted, they become stationary. For every minute they are Rooted, they will gain 1 Kill Point. If at any point, any of the three parameters are not met or the Calamity is damaged, they will unroot.

Air Calamities will sometimes land when idle, so they aren't excluded from the Rooting mechanic.

Adaptation

All Calamities are capable of Adapting, which occurs under specific circumstances (or if the Calamity is spawned during Proto World Modifier) and either buffs basic stats of the Calamity or will grant them a new ability (e.g. if a Gazenbreacher spends enough time in lava, she will gain her Crispy Adaptation that chars the texture and makes her immune to fire damage). Each Calamity only has one Adaptation.

Spore Bursts

While having a target, there is a 0.3% chance every tick for a Calamity to perform a Spore Burst. It can only be successful if their target is within ~14.4 blocks. Additionally, there's a 20% chance for a Spore Burst to activate when a Calamity takes freeze damage.

When first activating a Spore Burst, the performing Calamity will be unable to move for 3 seconds. Spore Bursts will summon a Scent at the location of the Calamity, give various positive effects to nearby Infected, Evolved, Hyper Evolved, Experiments, Bairns, Scampers, and Gastgebers, and give various negative effects to nearby non-Spore living entities. The range for giving effects is 16 blocks, and the effects granted depend on the Calamity activating the Spore Burst. Spore Bursts grant 0 to 3 Kill Points to any applicable Mobs within range. Additionally, if there are any CDUs in range of where the Spore Burst occurred, they will become clogged, meaning they no longer work. They can be fixed by breaking them and placing them back down.

Combat Scents

While this mechanic is similar to Spore Bursts, it's different. While having a target, there is a 0.25% chance every tick for a Calamity to summon a Scent at the location of the Calamity.

Summoning Vigils

If a Calamity is below 50% health and has a target, there is a 0.5% chance every tick for the Calamity to summon a Vigil within a 20 block range. The Vigil's parent will be set to the Calamity that spawned it.

Corpse Pieces (WIP)

When killed, multiple Blocks of Biomass, Blocks of Calcified Biomass, Blocks of Sickened Biomass, Rooted Biomass, and Human Remains will appear as falling entities where the Calamity died and fall to the ground. The only other mob that can do this is the Proto Hivemind, which places different blocks. Additionally, multiple Corpse Pieces will fly out from the Calamity.

Each Calamity has a set amount of Corpse Pieces they can drop, however it's only a chance for a specific Corpse Pieces to drop. The chance depends on the Calamity, and the values are listed below. These Corpse Pieces carry the regular drops of the Calamity, which can be harvested by either left or right clicking on the Corpse Piece. The last drop from a Corpse Piece will always contain a Reforged Biomass. When right clicking using a Reaver per instance of harvesting items, there will be a 30% for a Reforged Biomass item drop, regardless of how many items are left in the Corpse Piece's internal inventory. If a Corpse Piece isn't collected after 5 minutes, it will disappear and place down multiple Human Remains in its place, or a 10% chance for an Age 1 Mound.
