Enemies/Forest Keeper

Updated 2 weeks ago

Forest Keeper

Settings Description
Treat Blizzard Like Fog On snowy moons (Rend, Dine, Titan, and potentially Artifice), Forest Keepers have their vision range reduced ~60%, same as on moons with foggy weather.
Squishy A high speed impact from the Cruiser will instantly kill a Forest Keeper, like before v70.

Commentary

With the bugfixes and nerfs to giant line-of-sight mechanics in v80, I think they are in a much less oppressive state now, and I'm ultimately pretty happy with how they feel to play against.

The only standout issue I have with them now is how they work on snowy moons. Moons like Rend and Titan basically have foggy weather as a permanent obstacle, and yet, giants have perfectly clear vision - because their sight is only impacted by actual foggy weather. Applying the same modifier from foggy weather to snowy moons is an easy fix and just feels "right"

Additionally, I brought back the ability to instakill them with the Cruiser, since I felt like that was a really fun and awesome interaction. Just be careful not to get squished when it falls over. lol
