The best place for a blob to choose a base is in an inaccessible area, decreasing the chance of being spotted and being contained; but be warned, it has to be on the station Z-level and on a floor, otherwise you will instantly lose. Think along the lines of good [[Xeno]] hiding spots. It can also be strategic to spawn in places that will cripple the crew once you destroy them, like the [[SMES]]es or [[telecoms]] (be sure not to do anything stupid, like releasing the singularity.) Make sure you're somewhere safe before you burst! | The best place for a blob to choose a base is in an inaccessible area, decreasing the chance of being spotted and being contained; but be warned, it has to be on the station Z-level and on a floor, otherwise you will instantly lose.

Before you go all blob on everyone, it is also valid to perform antag actions (within reason) like a normal traitor to increase your chances of winning. | Before you go all blob on everyone, it is also valid to perform antag actions (within reason) like a normal traitor to increase your chances of winning. If you can, try to remove weapons, sabotage the station or create a distraction for when you burst into a station-eating blob. | ||

Blobs can attack players who are directly (not diagonally) adjacent to them. The blob can also spend resource tiles to place blob pieces. Blob pieces can expand into space, but it is much slower than onto a clear floor tile, which can be useful for slowing down the regeneration of the tiles around the blob core. | Blobs can attack players who are directly (not diagonally) adjacent to them.

The overmind can also decide to place special blob pieces which have special functions and abilities. The overmind must have resource points to replace the normal blob pieces with special versions and to expand where the overmind desires. The blob core will produce resource points at a normal rate but to get more the overmind will have to place resource blobs next to it's core or a node, which acts like a core and gradually expands normal blob pieces outwards. | The overmind can also decide to place special blob pieces which have special functions and abilities.

[[File:blob_shield.gif]] ''Strong Blob'' is a strong and expensive blob which can take more damage. It is fireproof and can block air, use this to protect yourself from station fires. | [[File:blob_shield.gif]] ''Strong Blob'' is a strong and expensive blob which can take more damage.

[[File:blob_resource.gif]] ''Resource Blob'' is a blob which will collect more resources for you, try to build these earlier to get a strong income. It will benefit from being near your core or multiple nodes, by having an increased resource rate; put it alone and it won't create resources at all. | [[File:blob_resource.gif]] ''Resource Blob'' is a blob which will collect more resources for you, try to build these earlier to get a strong income. It will benefit from being near your core or multiple nodes, by having an increased resource rate; put it alone and it won't create resources at all. Defending your resource nodes is important. Always replace them if they are taken down and invest in shield blobs to protect them. The more resource blobs you have, the harder it will be for the crew to reach your core. | ||
[[File:blob_node.gif]] ''Node Blob'' is a blob which will grow, like the core. Unlike the core it won't give you a small income but it can power resource and factory blobs to increase their rate. | [[File:blob_node.gif]] ''Node Blob'' is a blob which will grow, like the core.
