+'''Blob''' is a random event where a large blob infests the ship and starts destroying everything its path, including hull, fixtures and creatures. The crew must destroy the blob to prevent it from destroying a pre-determined amount of the ship, currently 400 tiles. Once the blob reaches critical mass, the blob has a minute or so to absolutely devour the ship with its now insane spread rate and infinite resources. Only thing to do as crew at that point is to launch yourself to lavaland in a escape pod.

-Blobs attack and destroy the station by trying to place Normal Blobs on tiles, which destroys items and structures on the target tile, and applies chemical effects to humans and heavily damages other mobs, such as cyborgs. You can expand/attack manually by left-clicking the target or target tile, but this costs chemicals. Hemming in targets by placing Normal Blobs behind them before attacking is extremely effective.

 * '''[[Armor]]''': The blob, in addition to expanding, can attack. Blobs do a variety of damage, but are blocked by armor and bio protection, so [[riot armor]] or [[bio-suit]]s, are helpful. Don't let yourself get surrounded!
-* '''[[Welding tool]]s:''' Cheap, readily available from [[Vending machines#YouTool|YouTool machines]] (hack them for two more Upgraded Welding Tools) or the [[autolathe]].  Grab one and start burning away. Make a path towards a resource node and take it out. One guy with a welder isn't going to be able to breach the core, so don't try. It's a good idea to grab some [[General items#Fuel Tank|Fuel Tank]]s to keep nearby so you can refuel quickly, but make sure your welder is OFF before refueling, and be sure the blob doesn't get close enough to absorb them. If science division is any good, they'll be passing out plasma cutters before long. They do the same damage as lit welders without any need to refuel, and have the added bonus of not setting plasma on fire in the case that the blob or some chucklefuck pops open a plasma canister. Replace your welder with a cutter ASAP if science starts making them.

 '''[[Roboticist]]''': Once the medics empty their medkits onto belts, you can make at least 6 medibots. Cargo can order emergency crates with floorbots and 2 medibots which will be useful to heal injured crew. Cleanbots are useless here, don't waste the metal on that. Mechs aren't worth making. But if miners brought silver and the blob ate research, but not robotics? Make a durand, load it with a solaris and an energy relay and set it loose.
