Behemoth is already a scrapped idea (as far as i know). Definitely not coming in A18 and most likely never coming back.

 

There are two types of grenades - impact (exploding on first contact) and regular (exploding after a set amount of time). Surely they work as intended.

ah ok ty, well sad i wanted a loooming fear somewhere outthere to get excited about.. think if u guys can unscrap it, forsure will make streams funnier and scarier overall athmosphere.. but i quess if it cant be done it cant so i tried atleast :p

 

It really isn't that it can't be done just they decided after playing around with it that it didn't fit in the game like they imagined at the start. So they decided to scrap it.

It's mostly a problem of scale really. If you have all enemies in the same scale (even crawlers take approximately 1 block wide) it's no big deal, but having enemies bigger and wider brings in the problems of:

- Does it hit 1 block or more (horizontally and vertically speaking)?

- Range from which it can attack and what if it is closer than that?

- On what height can it attack?

- How many blocks does it need to full stand up and/or have safe footing (2x2 footing could be argued that needs at least 1 block, but 3x3 needs a block in the center or what)?

- Changes to AI pathing for bigger entities, as well as walking over holes or protrusions

 

And most likely some other problems. Considering most AI is calculated for 1x1x1 or 1x1x2 (laying or standing) block size models, there aren't many problems with that as 1 block is the minimum measurement in the game.
