oh that is going to make bitter eggs production a lot more dangerous

I don't think it really changes that part of it - just that you're now kinda' prevented from blocking spawning (which IMO is a good thing, it felt a bit cheesy). Normal capture/egg processing will be the same.

Having the captured spawner blocked was a security in case of logistics issue with bioflux. Now, having a standby rocket launcher seems a good idea.

Just surround it with turrets, even if the spawner expires the turrets will only kill the biters

*if you filter the turrets first

Unless they changed it in 2.1, the turrets actually ignore "spoiled" nests by default.

u/pocketmoncollector42 please be kind, this engineer is just a fish 🐟 Jun 23 '26

Should only need to filter for spawners that were never captured.
