I don't think the mod makes each round start automatically. It is the fact there is no where to expand to start the next round. Otherwise the game would be stuck.

[@TheOneBored]

Yea, i had this happen to me without mods, around level 12 the map had circled in on itself and reached the portal without any splits. Game just automatically goes to next wave

[@aldrea6506]

@@TheOneBored Same, at level 12 during the April fools update mine curled back on itself. If a baddie lasted on the map for a second they were lucky xD.

[@TheOneBored]

@@aldrea6506 mine was before that, but i didnt realize there was an april fools update, is that why the shredder saws were so big for a few days? Lol

[@aldrea6506]

[@andylam1772]

Yeah. I tried this once without mod

[@daviddonahoe1303]

The Slow was caused by "Creeping Cough" which you can get after "Slow and Steady 1". Slows enemies by 5% the amount of poison applied. That with the "Gas Shells" of your mortars which apply the poison.

[@vydave]

I can confirm that the round starting automatically is simply because there is nowhere left to expand, and not the mod being quirky. That's because I got a weird spawn on the vanilla game once with the same case.

[@Flame-Fire-Original]

You should play a round with every upgrade and every tower once and look how long you can survive. Dont know if there is a mod where you can instantly unlock every upgrade, but yeah, would be funny

[@smol537]

*stings*

[@GremlinSciences]

Shouldn't be too hard to set up, if you can't directly unlock things at the start then make a custom mode that runs enough empty rounds or drops enough chests to grab all the upgrades before actually starting.

[@brettripley895]

Heads up on frost keeps they don’t do an aoe slow instead the falling snowflakes are their actual projectiles so spamming them with their freeze upgrade can stun lock enemies to death

[@Eagle52525]

With frost keeps the snow particles are what actually slows enemies. So, more frost towers covering the same area means more particles. Far lower chance of enemies zipping past some of the particles.

[@MelodicTurtleMetal]

The frost towers don't really work the way people expect. They don't slow down things in their area of affect, the actual particles they create slow things in impact. So to slow multiple things in one section you need to stack the frost towers

[@lamb-mz2sd]

I think, The %Burn/poison/bleed is the amount of dot that will be applied with an attack. For example if a mortar shot with 300 dmg has 25% burn 50% poison, it will add 75 fire and 150 dot onto the creeps. The dot per second is how much of that dot is ticked down each second. So, If you have high % but no ticking, it won't matter how much you stack the dot, unless you get the critical also do 10% of the dot upgrades, then it can be huge. But if you have high ticking, but not enough towers adding to the pool, it's also not much use.

[@TheBanana93]

That game broke my brain

[@hurlemort_]

For the upgrades ‘increase X% burndamage’ I think it means that, since the basic burn damage is 25/sec, it will do X% of this number per second Example : 50% of burn damage and burn damage is 26/sec, it will do 13 burn damage/sec

[@graemewilson482]

no the +50% burn/bleed/poison increase the amount of burn/bleed/poison damage applied to the enemy make it easier to stack up the damage faster

[@jackinthebox301]

If only it was. It actually increases the amount each unit of damage adds to the DOT pool that you see hovering above enemies. After turn 10 DOT is a reliable way to do damage, but enemies have so much health it likely isn't going to save you. Until, that is, you get the upgrades that say 'on a crit do x% of bleed/burn/poison as immediate damage'. DOT goes from near useless to insanely OP.

[@MGSLurmey]

As far as I understand, each tower can add a percent of their base damage to one of the DOT pools on a hit enemy. If ballistas for instance deal 100 health damage to an enemy, and have 50% poison damage, the enemy will take 100 damage as normal, and have 50 poison ready to apply over however many seconds it takes depending on the DPS. The cards that read "increases poison damage by +26 to 50" or thereabouts are increasing the DPS of that DOT type, so 50 poison is applied over 1 second instead of ~2.

[@Saxophonin]

In the custom map an encampment spam may be quite good as it can protect against those fast things that kept getting past. It can also be really good general damage.

[@michaelkaldwid1595]

getting all 3 DOT status effects is important, Matt. Enemies that have all three take +1 for all damage types, no upgrade cards needed. last sentence of the 'tower master's guide' explains it. Also you can get upgrade cards that increase it further

[@unwishingchip2]

I love you playing this game it always makes my day better

[@Duvstep910]

Something about RCE's videos just brighten my day

[@5reasonstoedge]

Day 5 of asking for more learn to fly also I love your other content and this video is amazing

[@Kartaal]

The auto-continue is not part of the mod but how the game is coded. My guess is that after every level it finds all the unfinished paths (those not ending in portals) and makes a list of them. When one is selected, a new tile is placed in that location (as per some function preventing a path dead ending without a portal for example) and then the next wave is triggered. If the list of "next tiles" for unfinished paths is 0, it skips the tile selection and just triggers the next wave. This makes sense because if you attempted to tie the next wave trigger to upgrade selection, there'd be problems with the chests and you couldn't decide what path to extend; you just chose an upgrade which doesn't involve the path.

[@MGSLurmey]

Put simply, since you advance the wave by extending the map, if you can no longer extend the map, the game just continues automatically for you to prevent you from getting locked. The dev probably could have just added a button or something to the UI that appears when there are no map extensions to make, or use a keybind to advance the wave, but I suppose this way makes it more frantic and difficult which is fun.

[@OllieOnFire]

The advantage of a small map is you can heavily concentrate all of your firepower.

[@jamesrogers5353]

I beleive increasing burn basically adds more burn per second maming them be able to burn longer

[@MGSLurmey]

The card that says "increases burn by +26 to 50" or thereabouts is increasing the DPS of the burning debuff. The number shown on the enemies is the amount of damage stacked up that is ready to be applied. So if an enemy has 500 burn on them and you have taken the card that increases burn to 50 per second, that enemy will take 50 damage per second for 10 seconds. The card that says "all of x tower gain +50% burn damage" likely means they gain an additional 50% of their afflicted damage as burn damage. So if a tower hits an enemy and deals 100 damage to its armour, the enemy will also gain 50 burn (which, with the card mentioned above, will apply that burn damage in only 1 second.)

[@MrGhosta5]

RCE for this map you need to take the card slow and steady so that you can take the card creeping cough which slows poisoned enemies. Then you take shield damage upgrades on your towers to unlock the card that adds poison damage to your towers. Also you take universities so that you unlock the cards that add crit chance to all towers.

Don’t keep the ballistas at the start once you get going, replace the, with better long range for more damage overall

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

I feel like with this map as the game progresses you should be replacing the early game ballistae with something better. Like the ones far in back of the tower where they can’t do anything could be replaced with mortars and the ones right near the front of the base could be replaced with encampments. Also all those mortar balls convening at the center of the map is hilarious for some reason.

I would have replaced the back row of ballistas with mortars since they don't have the range to help with the damage. also the ballistas dps is too low so i wouldn't use it next to the flame. i would either use shredder or more mortars. you should tell the devs to add a column for damage per second to see which towers does most damage the quickest or just damage/tower.
