[[File:Blob.png]] '''Blob''' is a game mode in [[Secret]] where a large green blob infests the station and starts destroying everything its path, including hull, fixtures and creatures. Note that this differs from the blob random event, as this blob is player-controlled. The crew must destroy the blob until it destroys a pre-determined amount of the station. | |||
The Blob is a large growing creature which destroys everything in its path. The blob has a major weakness to fire and fire based weapons, such as a welding torch or a laser gun; though it will contain the blob you will need to destroy the core to kill the blob. Though the blob can expand into space 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. | The Blob is a large growing creature which destroys everything in its path.

In the Blob game mode, the blob is controlled by a player, called The Overmind. A number of players are selected to play the blob. They are technically infected and have to choose a location for the blob's base in a random time limit. As time passes the player will get messages which will indicate when they are about to burst. | |||
===OH SHIT I'M A BLOB WHAT DO I DO=== | |||
So you're infected with Blobitis. Sucks to be you! But you can make it suck less to be you by ensuring the easy survival of your future self. | |||
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 SMESes or [[telecoms]] (be sure not to do anything stupid, like releasing the singularity.) Make sure you're somewhere safe before you burst! | |||
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. | |||

This overmind can 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. | |||
This is a list of all the special blobs that the overmind can spend resource points on to buy and replace normal blob pieces with. There are limits on how close you can put the same special blob to each other, for example the resource blob cannot be near another resource blob. | This is a list of all the special blobs that the overmind can spend resource points on to buy and replace normal blob pieces with.
