Why are scorpions so underrepresented?

This is me as I make another great post


Good luck with your depression!
Wow, okay, where to start :what:

First of all OP spiders are our friends, they control pests, play an important role in our food chain, and are overall almost harmless. The last thing we need in the world is more blatant anti-spider propaganda portraying them as mindless deranged killers.

In fact, there are very few spiders that are even slightly harmful to humans, and most will only attack when provoked. Spiders certainly do not grow to enormous size (the biggest in the world barely reach dinner plate size, and are gentle giants), and no spiders have ever been discovered outside the confines of earth's atmosphere :rolleyes:.

Frankly your portrayal, while incredibly engrossing and surprisingly thrilling, is just flat out wrong, and quite damaging to the reputation of an already much-maligned part of our shared ecosystem. Maybe think about the ramifications of your endeavors next time OP, but in the meantime feel free to educate yourself on the basics of something you've decided to arbitrary encourage the destruction of . . .

quote:

Spiders help to keep your home, yard, garden, farm, school, and workplace free from pest insects. Spiders help the whole planet in a similar way, preventing insects from becoming overly dominant and destructive. Spiders are in turn food for other organisms, from other spiders to birds, reptiles, and small mammals like shrews. Spider venoms show promise in the field of medicine. Spider silk is among the strongest, most elastic of natural fibers. Synthesized spider silk has proven useful in creating the next generation of parachutes and bullet-proof vests. Native peoples in Papua New Guinea even use the webs of Nephila orb-weaving spiders as fishing nets. The spider is coaxed into spinning within an oval frame that is then used as a net. Spiders are also used as research subjects in such diverse disciplines as animal physiology and psychology.

Seaweed!? Get the fuck out!
Jesus Christ, Ron, no one likes you, just go back to whatever hole you crawled out of.

Though, in all seriousness, at least this guy isn't begging us for money.

They do if you zap them with a phaser. I saw it on tv.

Not quite a scorpion, but I recently added this one to the game:

I want to befriend the Spiders, can you do that in the game?

Just recently added the ability to befriend trapped spiders, which lets you deploy them and they work alongside you to fight off the other spiders.

You can also now vote for it on Steam Greenlight:

OP, you should post an alpha build or something. I'm sure many people here would like to inspect your spiders first hand.

Will it feature a soundtrack by Mick Gorden? And if not, why not?

Not enough money is not a proper answer.
