I’m thinking about creating a mod that changes how these things work; I don’t really want them to be less deadly to the player, but I do want to stop them from spamming crap everywhere they go and messing up highways/towns, because it plays merry hell with my obsessive compulsive disorder. I’m after suggestions for alternatives to how their attack currently works. Pollen? Generic triffid summoning? Any thoughts?

That’s beyond my ability, but it’s not really what I’m going for anyway - right now I feel compelled to either avoid every area on the map with triffid queens or grab a flamethrower and spend several days wiping them all out in a given area until I’m satisfied that the spawn is culled, simply because I hate how they completely screw the landscape up. I want them to do something else.
