I have just started playing feed the beast retro SSP on the insanity map and I started looking at the challenges and I wanted to know why they removed the apiological madness challenge and if they are going to add a map that has it because (call me crazy) I was really looking forward to going insane with bees (no sarcasm intended). So if anyone can answer me I would greatly appreciate it.
the main reason it was removed was due to the fact that getting mutations was random, it wasn't really 100% chance. Mind you though, when the bees were in the insanity map, the percentages were altered specificly for the map, but it was still random.
Slowpoke didn't really want the map to come down to chance, he wanted the challenges to be completed by the player's knowledge of the mods, and he also wanted the map to have a "level playing field" for all players, in the fact that someone could be stuck on bees for several hours, while someone else could be very lucky, and get everything with in 20 minutes.
