Balance out Space Lube

How about this? Give space lube the water icon and change water to a more static but fade-over-time light blue icon so you know it's there? Yeah I know, water isn't blue but I think it's somewhere in the right direction at least.

Bonus if you can make wet surfaces smooth together

To get this thread back on track, Space Lube does seem a bit overpowered for what it is.

It seems to be an over glorified lubricant used only for gracious S-Slipping.

And yes, it is completely invisible. There is literally zero ways of detecting it besides seeing some one squirt it down or some one slipping on it.

 

And even if you know it is in there, what can you do?

You need to wait an awfully long time for it to finally disperse and by then, anyone who had slipped to the other side would be long dead if it was a security situation; assuming its a maintenance tunnel and its only one block thick.

There should be a counter chemical to absorb the stuff up, like wood dust or jiffy dry powder.

 

Rather than nerfing the hell out of Space lube itself, why not make a direct counter to it so people have a choice of coming prepared if there is a lube monster on the loose.

Step One) Step on lubed up tile.

Step Two) Fall flat on your butt on tile.

Step Three) Swear.

Step Four) Spray the path behind you.

 

step five) get killed after being slip on the lube.

 

step six) get your screws tighten up

 

step seven) come back to life.

 

step nine) take Ultra-Lube.

 

step ten) go bat shit nuts.

Agreed.

A simple sprite for lubed tiles would definitely balance it out and allow people to avoid such tiles if they are cautious and take the time to look out for it. There is no way to look out for something that is completely invisible.
