Worldgen is equally unfair to NPC's as well, not just Players

See? This poor guy couldn't even call me a heathen, he was just completely trapped. Do you know what the best part was? The planet has meteor showers (small-ish ones that don't instantly kill you if you have Impervium).

So, next time you are frustrated by meteors destroying your house, take solace in the fact that NPC's feel this way, too.



In case you want to visit it, the coordinates are:

OS: Windows 7
Sector: X
X: -92414230
Y: 87822176
Planet system: The X Jabbah 205 System (looking for the Jibbah system, then we can have time for the Jibbah Jabbah)
Planet: X Jabbah 205 VII (Snow, threat 10. It's the big one)

Travel left of spawn for approximately 3 seconds, then laugh at the poor fool.

Since his kind calls me a heathen, it makes me wonder: Where is his god now!?

 

+1 For that.

 

Came across the same structure on a desert planet. I felt sorry for the guy, so I put him out of his misery in the most entertaining way possible. Nuclear explosion (actually it was more of me whacking him with a terrible sword but it was fun nonetheless).

 

Are you carrying a refrigerator to use as a shield?

 

It's a riot shield. Typically very large to provide protection with a viewport so you can hide behind it and see at the same time.

 

Maybe...

It's actually a Riot Shield

 

This made me think of that fourth Indiana Jones movie, and how its most bold claim was that a fridge was ample protection against the shockwave and fallout of a nuclear blast. So... given this, I'm suddenly somewhat surprised we don't have a fridge door shield as a silly sort of reference item.

 

4th Indiana Jones movie? Was there such a thing? (Think on your answer, and choose wisely. )

That said, I agree we need other items like that to be used as shields. Heck, we got the folding chair as a weapon, right?

 

Haha that's awesome. On a unrelated note, what are those tombstone type things with the skull, and do they do anything? They just disappear when I activate them. TBD?

 

This happened to me before actually. I laughed uncontrollably when he screamed 'DEATH TO HEATHENS!' and was unable to move from his planted location.

They heal a bit of health on activation.

 

I must admit, the first thing I thought about when I saw this was the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail.

Come back here, I'll bite your knees off!

 

Where's the rest of his body?

Or: Obligatory monty-python-black-knight-flesh-wound-bite-shins joke

 

Except it's an NPC.
It doesn't care.

I see those quite often.

 

When a meteor came by, it unfortunately did not grant him sweet release from the life he was trapped in. However, it did break the blocks around him, allowing him to jump up and attack me. I felt bad, so I waited until a meteor ended his pain. Yay refrigerator shields!
