The Dulling - A Final Challenge

Fixed Raid Bosses, Stains, and Umbraphiles not spawning. Also increased the spawn cooldown to 60 minutes for normal bosses and 90 minutes for stain spawns.

Dullnodes now periodically play a heartbeat sound effect to help players find them when hidden in troublesome crevices.

Missionaries are no longer spawned in Dulling Chunks or by Stains, so the Dulling cant keep spreading even after the Sacreligious Core is placed. (well, you’ll still have to deal with those pesky Terraformers).

The Dulling now uses a points system in tandem with their chunk-claiming system, gaining points when a Dulling ally gets a kill or they gain a Dulling Chunk, losing points when a Dulling ally is killed, with the number of points lost depending on the value of the ally (for example, stains subtract much more points when killed than shamblers). They also lose points when a Dulling Chunk is removed. They lose 20% of their current points when the Spire is deactivated, lose 30% of their current points when the Sacreligious Core is placed, and lose 50% of their current points when the final boss is defeated.

Apostasy’s purification radius has been doubled, going from 64 blocks to 128 blocks. It also subtracts 1000 Dulling points when used.

The brain system which sends spawn waves telegraphed by the ground rumbling beneath targets now has to spend points to do so, meaning you can directly exhaust their ability to send more units by depleting their points. They also have to spend points to spawn Probes, Stains, raid bosses/Umbraphiles, Keres, and Prophets. They also require a minimum number of points to advance in tier, no longer determined solely by chunk count, and it also costs points for them to place Dullnode blocks.

Dullwyrms now tunnel through blocks rather than clipping inside them.

Expanded the amount of info displayed by the Ancient Moss Clump item and getdullingchunks command. Changed all Dulling commands to start with the word “dulling” to prevent confusion.
