Plastic Wrap Works?!

[Demimind]

I just checked out a clip by Markiplier which revealed that plastic wrap works just as well against locusts as window nets. I thought the whole point of the net was to do something that neither metal bars nor plastic wrap could do. Is this intentional or a bug?

We didn't want to make it a 0/1 choice.

Insects net can hold up to 22 locust per window (66 total)
Foil can hold up to 17 (51 total), metal bars 10 (30 total)
You can say we put the foil as a middle-tier item here: not as good as net, but still better than metal.

In retrospect it feels like a good idea, especially that a lot of players seem to miss the net completely.

Well, I certainly expected far less than that from the foil assuming the locusts could just chew holes in it more easily than the net, but since the net is still superior for its intent, I consider this measure fair enough.

Say, do spiders also have the same lesser impact against net and foil, fewer stopped that is, or do they just tear through the net and foil in one fell swoop?

The plastic wrap works as good as the window net only if you are doing the perfect night, if you don't do that (for example, not full efficiency or only one can of pesticide) the plastic wrap works better than the window net so it's pretty much useless :/

yup, it's nearly useless
