[quote=“i2amroy, post:20, topic:5969”][quote=“GrizzlyAdamz, post:16, topic:5969”]Humbug to realism! How do the graboids tunnel hmm?
Though I wouldn’t push for any more than one tile per tick, so long as it’s automated/the PC can hold down 5 to scoop out a long tunnel.[/quote]
Precisely chosen sonic tones that cause the rock to crumble before them. It’s like the sonic resonator, but because they have the ability to sense the exact tones required they can use less power and quieter notes to make them break.
(Or at least that’s the semi-logical seemingly coherent reason that I just retconned into place. The real reason is because they were added before we really began to focus on realism and have grandfathered their way through any changes up to now.[/quote]
I’d imagined they just ate through the ground; apparently they just shove it out of the way (and can’t dig through rock).
