Tier-Unique Mechanics

Death Search Alert

When an Evolved, Scamper, or Gastgeber dies, they have a 20% chance to leave behind a small area effect cloud that lasts for 10 seconds and inflicts Mycelium Infection for 2 seconds at amplifier 1. When this occurs, any Infected, Evolved, Hyper Evolved, Experiments, Bairns, Scampers, and Gastgebers within a 60x60x60 block wide range (centered on the location of death) will be alerted to come investigate the area. This is done by setting their search position to where the Evolved died.
