Reduce performance impact by grubs

Postby Sandflakes » Sat Aug 01, 2015 7:29 am

Leaving a grub for a while will make them spam out alot of unnecessary props. Sometimes you can have 30+ chems laying around. That gave me the idea "why not make them stack". Actually there are three types of grub nuggets.

models/grub_nugget_small.mdl
models/grub_nugget_medium.mdl
models/grub_nugget_large.mdl

Making the nuggets stack and combine in to larger nuggets would reduce the amount of props and make it easier to pick up.

What i had in mind was:
Small - 1 chem (as it is now)
medium - 5 chems
large - 20 chems (4 medium ones)

What could also be added is to give grubs a small chance to produce a medium or large nugget. This of corse if does not ruin the balance to much.

Might try something like this.
To combat the problem we made the hopper. Its built to catch anything from the miner, orange plant, or the grub.

hoppers were the original bandaid fix for both miner/grub resource theft and lag issues with all the props

I am aware of the hoppers but not everyone are or cares about them and therefore leaving the grubs to accumulate alot of chems on the ground.
