## About The Pull Request Breacher and Viper player-controlled Spiders have swapped castes; Vipers now come from Abnormal Eggs, while Breachers will now come from Enriched Eggs. This means that Vipers may be seen more, while Breachers require the Nest to acquire at least a single kill to wrap and create an Enriched Egg from. Nurse Spiders also perform their heal action much faster, at the cost of a bit less healing. It was very difficult to heal others due to the long do_after and thus we saw very few Nurse Spiders. Breacher Spiders also are now NOT immune to cold, and will die if they try to space a room or go into space. ## Why It's Good For The Game Breacher Spiders are in kind of a difficult spot, both in theming and balance; their space resistance made them able to vent the station in multiple places by breaking key walls, and they had no need to commit to their sieges because they could escape into space at all times. It also broke part of the dynamic of Spiders wanting to keep the atmosphere in the station, and disincentivizing Breachers from venting the station also makes them more coherently a part of the Nest because they won't reduce the Nest's habitable area. Viper Spiders were seen quite little instead of the other options in the Enriched Egg; now, hopefully we'll see more. Likewise, the Breacher is quite powerful for being an Abnormal Egg, so perhaps now we'll see more focus on cocooning to unlock the powerful Breachers, or just overall less of them, which will help even the odds. Nurse Spiders were VERY underutilized despite their power— the do_after for their healing just felt obnoxiously long, and especially in tense situations, you'd have shuffle and Spiders yelling at one another because two of them have to Space Hulk the hallway for a semi-extended period of time. Now, Nurses will be able to heal and move on a bit faster. I don't believe this will create too many issues, balance-wise, as the time-to-kill on Spiders is still quite low for all but the tankiest against lasers and even welders. ## Changelog 🆑 Jane balance: Spider Breachers and Vipers have swapped castes. Breachers come from Enriched Eggs while Vipers come from Abnormals! Breachers can no longer survive in spaced rooms/temperatures. The Nurse wraps wounds faster, but with less damage healed per wrap. /🆑
