Soft Resin

[Comatoads]

Here I am again in the forums. So i just built a second layer to my factory only for massive parts to turn into soft resin. Why and how do I stop this. The hive mind has been completely stopped it has no access to conveyors

Soft Resin is created by Tunnel Nukers, glowy yellow bugs that are sent from the Overminds to clear a path. Use Reinforced Rock/Wood to protect the walls of the factory, since they cannot convert those into Soft Resin.

Overmind or hivemind? There's a big difference. If it's a hivemind then it's big trouble to remove. But first elaborate :P

I've found that a couple of MK3 turrets are more than enough to kill tunnel nukers, they are quite slow after all.

All reinforced blocks aren't classified in defence. It's for that reason i ask :

Are all reinforced blocks crafted with paste immune to soft resin without exception ?

I don't believe reinforced blocks are immune to tunnel nukers to prevent people from walling up against them. If you want to stop them use turrets.

Reinforced blocks should prevent
- soft resin to spawm
or
- blocks conversion to soft resin
when tunnel nuker is killed or hive is growing, to prevent any worm boss to spawm on soft resin. And it's huge reason to use those kind of crafted blocks.

And i'am wondering if building reinforced blocks all around hives will stop those hives to grow & expand as well ?

They always seem to come from the diagonal out from your base. I avoid placing anything I love high in those areas.

If you want to stop the worms from spawning either
1. Clear up the soft resin once it appears.
2. Clear the path so the tunnel nukers don't spawn.
3. Setup turrets to kill the tunnel nukers.

Reinforced blocks will enable you to guide a hivemind's growth but it does not stop it from growing. It will punch right through if it has no other option.
