From abbc45a7215ef51d5955bd1a47858b14afa534c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Drathek <76988376+Drulikar@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2024 07:00:33 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Bump orphan egg time from 5 mins to 6 mins (#7631) # About the pull request This PR is a follow up to #7554 bumping the timer from 6 mins (from 5 mins) since the hive core reconstruction time (`HIVECORE_COOLDOWN`) is 5 mins (to allow 1 minute window to restore a hive w/o all eggs popping). # Explain why it's good for the game Should xenos manage to hold their original hive location to rebuild a hive core, this should make it possible to recover most eggs planted there. # Changelog :cl: Drathek balance: Increased orphan egg time from 5 mins to 6 mins. /:cl: --- code/modules/cm_aliens/structures/egg.dm | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/code/modules/cm_aliens/structures/egg.dm b/code/modules/cm_aliens/structures/egg.dm index cb7169655d89..415f404307bd 100644 --- a/code/modules/cm_aliens/structures/egg.dm +++ b/code/modules/cm_aliens/structures/egg.dm @@ -444,6 +444,8 @@ SPECIAL EGG USED BY EGG CARRIER SPECIAL EGG USED WHEN WEEDS LOST */ +#define ORPHAN_EGG_MAXIMUM_LIFE 6 MINUTES // Should be longer than HIVECORE_COOLDOWN + /obj/effect/alien/egg/carrier_egg/orphan/Initialize(mapload, hivenumber, weed_strength_required) src.weed_strength_required = weed_strength_required @@ -453,7 +455,7 @@ SPECIAL EGG USED WHEN WEEDS LOST return . if(hivenumber != XENO_HIVE_FORSAKEN) - life_timer = addtimer(CALLBACK(src, PROC_REF(start_unstoppable_decay)), CARRIER_EGG_MAXIMUM_LIFE, TIMER_STOPPABLE) + life_timer = addtimer(CALLBACK(src, PROC_REF(start_unstoppable_decay)), ORPHAN_EGG_MAXIMUM_LIFE, TIMER_STOPPABLE) var/my_turf = get_turf(src) if(my_turf)
