Borer overhaul
Created by: N3X15
CHANGES
tl;dr Borers now symbiotes rather than parasites. Think organic pAIs. Fixes #49 (closed).
- Cannot suicide as host anymore.
- Cannot kill your host anymore.
- Thought-speak is more subtle.
- Borers can secrete more chemicals (some of which are unlockable).
- Borers have a new Evolve verb to unlock new chems (and eventually, abilities and
host-related things) - Removed dickish chems.
- Forced-control on entering host is configurable. Add borer_takeover_immediately to gameconfig.txt to enable.
- Removed borers' ability to multiply, for now. (Balancing)
- Borers now only have a survive objective.
- Borers are instructed to be helpful and non-dickish, including a note of recent changes.
