These little guys saved my life. My friend pulled the apparatus and THREE old birds woke up while I was carrying scrap to the ship. I managed to hide behind the shack when three tulip snakes appeared and latched onto my head. Like guardian angels they lifted me off, flying me high over an old bird as it tried to shoot me down. They dropped me right outside the ship and i managed to get to safety inside and close the door. They let go and we all huddled next to the item locker, hoping my friend would make it. We made it off that godforsaken planet with about 500 worth of scrap and no losses thanks to those little guys.
ONe time I was on adamance I think and I had to carry two pieces of scrap to the ship. The scrap items were bottles and a V-type Engine (I think). Three little critters got on me and helped me fly to the shi[ which was nice :). I took no damage which was also nice :). Great taxi service, 10/10
They aren’t even intentionally trying to harm you, apparently when 2 tulip snakes are flying, there literally trying to take you to their nests because they find you interesting, oftentimes this results in a tug of war because one of them wants you to itself, and same with the other, which results in them flying up in the air and eventually getting too tired to fly anymore and literally fall back down
Oh shit, then my guess was way off. I thought they ganged up on human sized enemies, dropped them, then ate the corpse. Yknow, when they're not eating bugs or berries/nuts, cause they look like herbivores not too high in the food chain.
@@chaosinc.382 They're almost bigger than normal snakes and snakes are predators. But i doubt they would try to drop someone and eat them. Good theory though
I love how in order to contrast the many dangerous monsters of Lethal Company, the creator added some creatures that are just... kinda there to be silly.
It makes the world feel more alive and recontextualizes some of the mobs from enemies and monsters to real animals with evolution and unique behaviors!
The best part about them is that they literally mean no harm. The only reason they lift you is to impress mates by lifting very heavy objects (like an employee with heavy equipment).
I always like to have one hop on my head and follow me in the facility. Having a little scrap buddy helps boost the moral knowing that despite our efforts we'll eventually be launched into the cold vacuum of space... In other words I get to have a pet
important tip, at least in my limited personal testing, is that you can actually prevent them from lifting you high into the air by leaning all the way left or right, and also forward as much as you can, and just staying that way. they'll carry you really far along the ground, and you will still go into the air a little, but not nearly high enough to take damage. just make sure they dont carry you sideways off a cliff or something.
Makes sense, though. These lil guys are clearly tiny predators that likely just barely rank above most prey items for dusk predators. Judging by their behavior, they likely feed on insects and whatever they can lift into the sky and drop. I'd also wager they're omnivores.
So ive witnessed that when attacked by shovels, its the same as if a snare flea is on your head, if youre hit by a shovel, the tulip snake on you dies, if you have a shovel and just swing it while theyre on you, the tulip snake dies
These are legitimately the best thing in the game. I love their stupid little sounds and the fact that they just fly you into the stratosphere and then break every bone in your body after letting go. At least their sounds are funny and not annoyingly loud like the Old Birds yelling "ROBOTICS ROBOTICS ROBOTICS ROBOTICS ROBOTICS!" (Even tho I still really like the Old Birds)
@jacobrutzke691 kinda figured it was purposeful, specifically with the crying infant noises and the loud sirens. Cuz if it wasn't on purpose then I think we would need to question Zeek's mental state. Though the "ROBOTICS!" this is more funny than anything. It gets annoying SOMETIMES (especially on Embrion), but it's never something that ruins the game.
@@Chazmo53Honestly that sounds like most lethal company creatures like hoarding bugs literally steal your loot yet they're still beloved or brackens being completely silent yet there still loved and so one and so forth.
my first experience with them was when i was trying to get out of the ditch on adamance. one tulip snake got on my head and i loved it. then more got on me then started lifting me up and flew me back into the ship
You should make an April fools where it talks about the mask, but you don’t talk about the masked. Just the masked and then you explain the 3 phases. Stationary Stationary Stationary
I love these things. They manage to be really cute and hilariously terrifying on the first encounter. Getting too close and watching your teammate slowly succumb to horror as they float higher and higher is just perfect, especially because of their really unassuming design. I also imagine there have been some pretty great moments among crews when people enter the facility, expecting to be safe from falling, and then floating up into the giant fan like that one scene from Charlie and the chocolate factory. The fact that the fan even kills proves how much love and detail Zeekerss has put into this
Tip: If you're afraid or just dont want to fly of inconvenience. you can just hug a wall/tree and just mash button directions into said wall/tree and you wouldn't go anywhere.
I would be interested in what exactly makes them stop chasing a player when the hive is still on the ground. Is it based on their distance to the hive? Or only the player's distance? Or a timer? Also another thing that's kind of unclear is their spawning behavior. Because they are considered daytime enemies like manticoils but one time I tried making it so only bees are in the daytime spawns of a moon but it didn't spawn any... I'm specifically wondering if there's some sort of connection with the scrap spawning mechanics since they're kind of both an enemy and a scrap item.
I still remember encountering them for the first time with a group of friends. We were cracking up laughing so much and so hard because one friend had a few on but didn't know what was happening and was just flying around randomly both outside and inside.
Great video, I really enjoy these videos as they've helped me get better at the game, and the format is fantastic! Small note on 2:00 - I don't think it's meant to be random, as I've dealt with the same thing in of modding other games. Pseudocode for what I'm guessing is going on (logic wise): int target = 0; for (int i = 1; i 0 && amt >= client_tulip_amount(target)) { target = i; } } What makes it decide to attack the player with the higher ClientID is this part: ` >= `, had it been written as just ` > `, then it would keep its current target (the lower ClientID with the same amount of tulips on them). Given that players usually don't plan out who joins first and get specific ClientIDs, it can sorta be random in practice and feel random, but that would be the case whether or not it was written to target the lower ClientIDs or higher ClientIDs, actual randomness in code would be written differently.
Yeah it's simply just because Zeek loops through all players in the order of the client ids like you said. Alter did describe it slightly wrong, the way it actually works is best described if you have 3 players in LOS: - None of them have any tulip snakes on them: highest client id - Two of them have 1 tulip snake on them: lowest client id that has at least one on them - One person has none, the 2nd has 1 and the 3rd has 2: still the lowest client id that has at least one on them (the amount you have on you doesnt change anything, it just checks if you have at least 1)
Bridge broke under me on a flooded moon and i was drowning like 8 feet underwater. All of a sudden a pair of these lifted me out and dropped me gently next to the ship. I’ve been a diehard fan since
Fan decapitation happened to my brother once when I was playing Lethal Company with him. To this day for me it's still the most memorable death in the game 🤣
Alright... Who's with me.. I now want Loot bugs and Tulip Snakes to be Tameable Pets! Just imagine adding the "Yippee!" Mod for the Bug... And keeping a Tulip snake on your head...
I try to be under the ship or push my head into a corner till they leave. I leave piles of dead tulip snakes if i have a stop sign because they are the biggest time waster for me, a solo player.
one time four of them got on my head at once and i dropped all my stuff and said “TAKE IT I WONT BE HERE” keep in mind he never knew what a tulip snake was. i started flying so high and uncontrollably it was the funniest thing to him
its honestly great training for using a jetpack and sometimes a great way to cover distances if you use it right i had some on march and used then and exit knowledge to jump to an exit after dropping off a circuit beehive got some things and got out bees calmed down and i got more loot. win win. thanks tulip snakes.
First of all, your videos are amazing and you definitely deserve more attention. Second of all I have a question: are you perhaps planning to make a nutcracker video because I did not find it on your channel? Thank you in advance and I wish you successful career in the future!
You forgot to mention that when they attach themselves to you they add 5 pounds to you each, and that they will deal damage if you fly fast into a wall. Plus the best way to go down when they try to fly you away isn't just letting them carry you in a direction or hovering over a hill. no you don't need to find a hill at all, all you need do is rapidly make yourself rotate directions by cycling W,A,S,D in a spinning rotation. By doing that you will descend instead of continuing to go up. Allowing you to control and manipulate them to your benefit.
I have a couple of questions after this video. 1. You showed them pathing in groups of 4. Could they be separated, like if I only took 2 away would they split or are groups of 4 inseparable? 2. How far away from each other can each one in groups of 4 spawn? 3. If 2 groups met, would they combine and explore together or stay in their groups of 4?
So here's a little story. I was heading to the drop ship but I forgot the pathi went and somehow got cornered by a masked employee. Then out of nowhere, 3 random tulip snakes detected me and latched onto me and I flew onto the dropship and successfully escaped danger just because of those oil guys. They are basically free jetpacks and that's why I love them.
I saw one attach to me , I didnt know if it would attack me so I ran to the ship, hit it off my head with a shovel then two more attached to me, I let them chill for a bit... then they startes lifting me up so I paniced and pulled the pin to my flashbang. The clock must have hit 3 20 pm perfectly because I thought I stunned them and got free

pretty sad that they leave at 3:21 PM, didnt knew about that

all daytime enemies leave at a certain time of day. Even bees leave about 20 seconds before the ship takes off

What about the spore lizards?
Don’t forget that fall damage is also lowered when they drop you and that they can activate landmines!
Not sure about fall damage yet, but tulip snakes do not activate turrets
@@chboo1897 yeah sorry for that I meant landmines 💀 also I’ve seen multiple videos mention the falling thing and it seems like it’s less damage
