The butterfree is not damaged if the cocoon is damaged. However if you were to puncture the cocoon before the metamorphosis is complete, you would kill the butterfree. Fun fact, the caterpie incases itself within the cocoon, then it's digestive enzymes break down it's entire tissue. The resulting goop rebuilds itself as a butterfree.

[@cthonianmessiah]

Indeed! Every insect that pupates is basically a happy innocent grub that was born with an evil parasitic twin. Once it reaches a certain size, the evil nodule of cells sends out hormones that make it build a house, then release digestive enzymes that kill the caterpillar. The evil twin then eats up all the nutrients and becomes the adult form.

If the construction crew next door followed Stormgate rules they could have finished that in a day.

[@Pho7on]

Molecular biology expert here (entomologists trump me). Butterflies produce no cocoons, but have a protective layer called a chrysalis. You could potentially open it up without damaging the insect, but it depends on how far along development is. The early stages rely on a careful control of cellular migration for metamorphosis, but once this migration has completed, the fluid inside is largely waste.

[@TheChiefKipSavage]

"A nice Terran player... probably somebody off racing" That one got me

[@snakeylps]

Hey Harstem, I noticed you clicked the unbuildable plates at 28:01. I remember they added these back in HOTS to stop some unbeatable strategy of someone walling you in (I think it was protoss). Can you do a video on the history of these plates and the unbeatable strategy it prevents?

[@imbastrat]

3 Pylon wall off and cannon contain

[@plantex625]

Fun Fact - Parting actually took advantage of a map where the map had an incorrect ramp with no plates in a GSL season a few years ago and destroyed Solar with a single pylon wall blocking his natural from his main. 2021 GSL Season 2 round of 16. This game perfectly shows why the plates exist

[@ryfors]

I do appreciate that Harstem understands that his opinions and takes suck. It's nice to see someone who commits to being the one who starts fires

Challenge concept (probably needs further thought): how high on the ladder can you get with less than a set APM? I'm sure there are programs that will only let you do x actions a minute (say 150), and I'd be curious how well you could economize your actions if needed.

So... I'm not a pro... but why does Harstem keep calling his 2nd base his "natural" when it's not in the natural position? I thought the natural expansion referred to the intended expansion closest to your base, e.g., at the bottom of your ramp, etc. In a standard game your natural would normally end up being your 2nd base, but if you are forced to build at your 3rd location or choose to build at a gold, those wouldn't be your natural.... right?
