Expansions: Major rewrite of enemy expansion section

← Older revision		Revision as of 00:43, 30 August 2025
Line 572:		Line 572:

	=== Expansions ===		=== Expansions ===
	~~Every 4-60 minutes~~, ~~a group of 5-20 biters/spitters will leave their base~~ to create a new ~~base which will consist of as many worms/nests as there are members in the group. This group will search for a suitable spot that's up to 7 chunks away from existing~~ bases (7 is based on map settings, the distance is measured in Euclidean distance). The interval between enemy expansions is global, and the higher enemy evolution, the shorter the interval is on average. Furthermore, with higher evolution, the groups are bigger on average.		[[map generator\|By default]], enemies on Nauvis and Gleba {{SA}} try to expand into "unclaimed" territory to create new bases.

	~~Once they have found~~ a ~~suitable spot, each biter/spitter~~ in ~~the group dies and forms~~ a ~~new nest or worm~~. ~~Forming a new nest or worm will destroy anything that is in the way~~, which can include members of the expansion group. There is a delay between each member sacrificing itself for to create a worm/nest, so creating the new base from the expansion group can take quite a long time, depending on ~~the group size~~. ~~Medium worms are only formed if the current evolution is higher than 0~~.~~3, big worms only if the current evolution is higher than~~ 0.5 and ~~behemoth worms are only formed if current evolution~~ is ~~higher than 0.9. The game randomly chooses whether~~ to ~~form~~ a ~~new biter nest, spitter nest, small worm, or bigger worm if the evolution factor is high enough~~. ~~[https://gist.github~~.~~com/Bilka2/aa88490c23124a6f214c02c73a368aa7]~~		The game assigns a score to every [[Map structure#Chunk\|chunk]] in a 7 chunk radius around existing spawners. Only chunks with land are considered on Nauvis, and only chunks with marsh are considered on Gleba. This score starts at 1.0 and is penalized by player structures and enemy spawners inside and near the chunk, to a minimum of 0.0.

	~~Expansions~~ on ~~[[Gleba\|Gleba]]~~{{SA}} ~~function mostly similar~~, ~~except that pentapods~~ only ~~create spawners in marshes~~, and ~~will '''never''' create nests on other tiles~~.		Every 60 to 4 minutes, the game selects a chunk at random as the target for an expansion attempt, weighted by the chunk scores. Then 5 to 20 enemy units from the closest spawners assemble into an expansion group and walk to the expansion target. The time between expansion attempts and the size of expansion groups is random, but weighted by evolution factor.

			When the expansion group reaches its target, each unit will begin dying in sequence to randomly create a spawner or a worm after some delay. This destroys any entities in the way, including members of the expansion group. Any unit can create any spawner or worm that is native to the planet.

			* Biter nest, spitter nest and the four sizes of worms can only spawn on land tiles, on Nauvis.
			* {{SA}} Egg raft and small egg raft can only spawn on marsh tiles, on Gleba.
			* Medium worm, big worm and behemoth worm can only spawn when evolution factor is over 0.3, 0.5, and 0.9 respectively. [https://gist.github.com/Bilka2/aa88490c23124a6f214c02c73a368aa7]
