From ac297470d688b9ead0f57b3ff74464396bbca1c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Batrachophreno Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 16:19:38 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Greimorian Egg Clades - Fairness Patch (#22981) Makes Greimorian egg implantation a little more fair, without removing the intense danger factor. 1. Increases total incubation time by 33%. 2. Organ reroll chance is now not just for the head, but chest and groin too (reduces odds of instakill, though still does not remove it.) 3. Removes late-stage reinfection chance from incubation stage 4. NOTE: Helmizole is not just a medicine for curing greimorian parasites. It's also an inoculation. So long as you have it in your system, greimorian eggs might make you hungry and sleepy, but they WON'T be able to start incubating, and they will be removed normally by your liver (or by tox medicine). Hey ISD! Tell Medical to make you medicine! It's their job! --- .../simple_animal/hostile/giant_spider.dm | 2 +- .../organs/subtypes/parasite/greim_eggs.dm | 19 ++++++------ .../Chemistry-Reagents-Toxins.dm | 29 ++++++++++--------- html/changelogs/Bat-GreimEggs.yml | 8 +++++ 4 files changed, 34 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-) create mode 100644 html/changelogs/Bat-GreimEggs.yml diff --git a/code/modules/mob/living/simple_animal/hostile/giant_spider.dm b/code/modules/mob/living/simple_animal/hostile/giant_spider.dm index 421c15f9969..628e6da3eb2 100644 --- a/code/modules/mob/living/simple_animal/hostile/giant_spider.dm +++ b/code/modules/mob/living/simple_animal/hostile/giant_spider.dm @@ -83,7 +83,7 @@ melee_damage_lower = 15 melee_damage_upper = 20 armor_penetration = 30 - venom_per_bite = 1 + venom_per_bite = 8 speed = -2 venom_type = /singleton/reagent/toxin/greimorian_eggs fed = 1 diff --git a/code/modules/organs/subtypes/parasite/greim_eggs.dm b/code/modules/organs/subtypes/parasite/greim_eggs.dm index c3c4d082906..e71ac588787 100644 --- a/code/modules/organs/subtypes/parasite/greim_eggs.dm +++ b/code/modules/organs/subtypes/parasite/greim_eggs.dm @@ -8,8 +8,8 @@ parent_organ = BP_CHEST subtle = 1 - /// ~3 minutes/stage (at two seconds/tick) - stage_interval = 90 + /// ~4 minutes/stage (at two seconds/tick) + stage_interval = 120 max_stage = 5 @@ -44,25 +44,25 @@ to_chat(affecting_organ.owner, SPAN_NOTICE("Your [affecting_organ.name] itches.")) if(prob(33)) - owner.adjustNutritionLoss(3) + owner.adjustNutritionLoss(2) if(stage >= 2) - if(prob(8)) + if(prob(6)) gestating_spiderlings += 1 if(prob(33)) - owner.adjustNutritionLoss(4) + owner.adjustNutritionLoss(3) if(prob(5)) owner.emote("whimper") if(prob(2)) to_chat(owner, SPAN_WARNING(pick("You feel nauseous and hungry at the same time.", "You feel a burning pain in your [parent_organ].", "Your sense of balance seems broken."))) if(stage >= 3) - if(prob(6)) + if(prob(4)) gestating_spiderlings += 1 if(prob(33)) - owner.adjustNutritionLoss(5) + owner.adjustNutritionLoss(4) if(prob(10)) affecting_organ.take_damage(rand(1,3)) owner.adjustHalLoss(8) @@ -75,11 +75,10 @@ owner.seizure(0.4) if(stage >= 4) - if(prob(6)) + if(prob(5)) gestating_spiderlings += rand(1,2) if(prob(5)) - owner.reagents.add_reagent(/singleton/reagent/toxin/greimorian_eggs, (gestating_spiderlings / 3)) owner.adjustHalLoss(12) to_chat(owner, SPAN_WARNING(pick("A sharp, caustic pain boils out from your [affecting_organ.name]!", "You can feel the flesh of your [affecting_organ.name] beginning to bulge!", "It's going to burst!
