Hi OrigamiDragons once I was digging a subway and at one point the transperency glitch revealed an astro lair ahead with a mob of astros chillin around in one of those 3x3 vertical shafts. So I thought "this is going to be fun" (I know, so many people fear astros but I'm sort of cool with them and always play explore mode - if you get all v.3 equipment, v.3 turrets and energy orbs you're pretty much invicible) so I drilled my way to the lair and when I got there I only found one astro (a white one btw) left. A bit disappointed I finished that one off by dropping a turret down the shaft and proceeded to the main entrace so as to get out. But the lair was underground -- no wonder it was so dark! BUT WAIT OMG SO THE ASTROS MUST'VE SPAWNED UNDERGROUND!!!

I figured that they couldn't have spawned with their legs in the ground and then glitched into the lair -- the reason for their large numbers wouldn't be explained by this. Futhermore the lair was quite a few blocks below the surface. So the astros MUST have spawned underground.

Once in another world I found an astro inside the ground (using the transperecy glitch again...). It was a green one, close to another astro lair I captured. It was actually quite a lot of blocks below ground (10 or so).

I guess you could add these testimonies to your theory that astros can spawn anywhere -- even below and inside the ground!

This raises another question -- what makes astros spawn? Is it really the legendary block 130 or something else? It'd be great to hear of some ingenious experiments of yours on this subject lol ;)

btw great blogs :)

just wondering will anyone make youtube vids anytime soon? :D
