iirc the nukerproof rooms don't use plugins so unlikely

Okay then, Would that include the NukerProof Rooms mod?

iirc mod simply kills them the moment they are spawned, its possible something delays mod and lets them life for few seconds before death

Does this not remove the above ground nukers? I ask because I've continued to hear the nuker explosion sound and the growth of soft resin several times. I haven't hear the rather annoying normal whistle they have though.

No, tunnel nukers had plenty of time to put resin everywhere before I remembered to enable this

hmm I would assume there is not enough soft resin for worms?

I don't know if it's just me but it seems like this also prevents worms from spawning on soft resin

thanks ;) works like a charm
