What Each Worm Does
Because going into the details of all seven worm spider types would double the length of the already-lengthy mod description, and because some people like to figure out how everything works by themselves, I'm posting a general synopsis of what each worm type does here.


--Worm Spider--
The default worm spider. Relatively basic, with no terribly outstanding stats, but no significant weaknesses either.
~Can be crafted from the start.
~Starts somewhat weak, slowly grows bigger and stronger over time.


--Worm Spiderling--
A smaller, weaker varient of the worm spider, with low health and damage output.
~Has a much higher sanity aura than other worm spiders.
~Follows closer to Kyle than other worms, does not move away from Kyle when approached.
~Low DPS, but fast attacks can stunlock many things.


--Worm Fighter--
A bigger, tougher worm spider, and an all-around reliable soldier.
~Above-average combat stats.
~Kites foes.
~Does not have a sanity aura.


--Rocky Worm Spider--
An extremely tough and durable worm spider, with health far exceeding any other worm spider.
~Can curl into a boulder to resist even more damage, but this leaves it unable to attack.
~Moves the slowest and deals the least damage of all worm spiders.
~Cannot be stunlocked.
~Helps mine rocks.


--Flying Worm Spider--
A fast but frail flying worm spider that does a long-ranged leaping attack that hits foes from far away.
~Lunging attack has significant starting lag that leaves it vulnerable.
~Lunging attack is powerful, but does not always hit.
~Kites foes.
~Helps chop trees.


--Worm Spider Assassin--
A shadowy worm spider, coated in nightmare fuel. Has the highest damage output of all worm spiders, but has rather low health.
~Only attacks once every 4 seconds.
~Deals more damage during dusk or nighttime.
~Kites foes.
~Sheds nightmare fuel once every 2-4 days.
~Sanity aura drains large amounts of sanity instead of raising it.
~Cannot be stunlocked.


--Worm Spider Warrior--
A huge, monstrous worm spider, with a powerful Area-of-Effect attack.
~AoE attack will deal 20 damage to all players within range, and 10 damage to any wormspiders within range. It will also cause wormspiders to flinch, possibly interrupting their attacks.
~Has the second-highest amount of health among wormspiders.
~Cannot be stunlocked.

OK, this all sounds crazy-awesome, and I can't wait to try it.

So Worm Spider Warrior is a gamble, due to the fact that they can kill other worm spiders? :o
I'm surprised there is no healing worm spider... I can understand that the upkeep in an army must be insane, and a little help from a mother worm spider, I'm sure it can be better than them dying all the time...

There is a worm spider that can heal other worms. Its name is Kyle.

You can heal worms with healing salves and poultices and whatnot. The 'Health Info' mod is good for knowing when worms need healing.

so it was my imagination when my first worm spider recovered health on its own?
Dweaver  [developer] 20 Mar, 2015 @ 3:28pm 
Nope. All worms gradually heal over time (though healing speed varies from worm to worm).

Instead of taking a gamble i would say get maybe 2 or 3 warriors then getting the rocky worms to tank for them and get healing plus also if you wish to take the non SUPER expensive form of healing them also yes the Health Info mod is great

Hey, I have a correction, and a suggestion. First; the Worm Spider Warrior doesn't have the the second highest health. The base Worm Spider does. (after a season or two, anyway.)

And a suggestion; if you plan to do more work on this mod, is there any way you could add something of a healer/minion spawner worm to the mix? Something that would be able to increase the health regen of the other worms, or maybe one that creates little temporary wormlings to help with the fighting (kind of like a spider Queen)?

Just my two cents. Loving the character. :)
