In the blob game mode, players start off infected by the blob and have to choose a location for the blob's core via moving their body to that location. As time passes the player will get messages which will indicate when they are about to burst.
In the blob game mode, players start off as blob overminds, who must find a secluded location to place their core. As the overmind, you can place the core with the 'Jump to Core' button in the lower right, after a few minutes of preparation time.


===OH SHIT I'M A BLOB WHAT DO I DO===
===OH SHIT I'M A BLOB WHAT DO I DO===


So you're infected with a blob core. Sucks to be you! But you can make it suck less to be you by ensuring the easy survival of your future self.
So you're a blob! You have a few minutes to discuss with other overminds(if there are any), and talking normally will send a message to those other overminds and any blobbernauts.
 
===Sabotage===
Before you burst, it is valid to perform antag actions like a normal traitor to increase your chances of winning.
If you can, try to remove weapons, sabotage the station, fuck up the AI or otherwise create a distraction for when you burst into a station-eating blob.
 
Sabotaging research or mining is a great way to protect yourself from a massive army of printed Laser cannons and X-ray lasers. You could deconstruct the entire research lab and hide it in your backpack, destroy the RND servers, or steal all the tank transfer valves.
 
Cutting the main power wires around Engineering is a great way to prevent Emitters from being used on you if Engineering is too stupid to figure out you cut the wires. They could still use the PACMAN generator to power SMES units or an emitter battery.
 
You could also destroy or otherwise disable telecomms. Eating the SMES units themselves is risky due to releasing the Singulo, however.
Cut cameras with a screwdriver and wirecutter if there are any near the area you're going to attempt to burst in.
 
Genetics is another good target, as it results in less people being revived from the dead to fight you, meaning killing someone really counts.


===Positioning===
===Positioning===
Positioning is extremely key to winning as a Blob. Improper positioning can result in you being barraged by emitters or quickly found and killed. Main hallways and maint areas too close to main hallways tend to be bad choices to burst in.

You should go position yourself near the place you want to be. You will receive warnings when you're close to bursting, but the exact time is random.
You should go position yourself near the place you want your core. You have exact timers of how long you have until you can manually place your core and until the core will be automatically placed for you.
 
You cannot move onto space or shuttles until your core is placed.


Make sure you're in a valid spot before you burst; you have to be on the station z-level, as well as on a floor tile, or the core will be unable to sustain itself and you will '''die'''!
The best place for your core is in an inaccessible area, decreasing the chance of being spotted and being contained. Think along the lines of good [[Xeno]] hiding spots. Public hallways are bad. Out-of-the-way places that require elevated access are good. Chokepoints are good. It can also be strategic to spawn in places that will cripple the crew once you destroy them, like telecomms or science.

You cannot place your core on top of dense walls or objects, and if there is anyone nearby you will also be unable to place your core.
