[2.0.12] Pentapod eggs hatch inside offline player's inventory

Post by shouya »

I expect spoilage process to pause inside a player's inventory when they are not logged on. Or else in this case the pentapods seems to spawn from nowhere.

Thanks for the report however per the Friday Facts:
This process is inevitable
Soilage does not pause and is not meant to pause.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Sad to hear that. As I said it's a great surprise to see swarms of wriggler spawning out of nowhere. It took me a long time to figure out what went wrong.

I'd expect the logged out user to be fully inactivated because there is no way to interact with them. If the spoilage is unstoppable at least let the pentapods spawn at the moment the player signs back on. This way it's not as much as a surprise.
