Eco-damage worm stack capture

[Yitzi]

And here I'm not quite ready to work on that yet...

But when I am, I presume the first autosave is from before the pop?

Autosave1 is from before the capture.  Autosave 2 is from before the pop.

Ok, thanks.

Well, I can't reproduce it...however, it seems to be only with worms that are not in workable area (i.e. either outside your territory or outside your base radius), so it's probably designed to be that once worms leave the workable area they turn "wild" again instead of going after you, and once that happens you can capture them.

For further investigation, I think I would need to look at a case where popped worms either just popped outside the workable area, or just moved outside the workable area.

Hmm.  It's normal scatter from a pop on the turn it happened - I don't know if that involves the worms moving from the pop square, or what.  And again, the tower capture is very rare, so small wonder you haven't been able to reproduce.

I know just what causes the tower capture, that's not the issue.  I haven't reproduced the pop happening in a place where it scatters to outside the radius.  (Also, it can't be the worms moving from the pop square, as then the tower wouldn't have moved.  The tower, at least, must have popped outside the base radius.)

Oh, in addition to the two cases I mentioned, I could also probably use a save of worms that popped inside the radius, and then move away from the base they popped for, with the save being from before they move away.
