Summary0027695: Brutal Amalgam Delta failing to produce it's head and tail.
DescriptionI've noticed this before in necro games, and I *think* it was with other amalgam types but I can't be 100% sure.
In short, they keep failing to spawn their heads and tails on death.

Save attached, only distributed mods and nothing that should affect brutal guardians, and most of the them weren't on in the previous games where I've observed this anyway.
Simply unpause and let the fleet open fire, for me it fails to spawn the on-death units every time.


It's quite possible this is happening with other units as well, it's just really noticeable with brutal amalgams because I'm hunting them for mummies.
TagsNo tags attached.

I see, this is weird. Can you check if other things that spawn stuff on death do so if they become necromanced?

Well, I got quite lucky with a testgame. The neighbouring planet to my start has cluster bombs and multiple types of hydra... Stingray, Vanguard and parasite hydras all correctly produce their sub-units on death in an initial test. No mods on this one. I noticed automated construction bots correctly dying to mini-construction bots in my earlier modded game. Trying to get the lairs to spit out some amalgams now to make sure the issue appears here... (Temporarily changed the lair spawn list to only amalgams. ;) )

Okay, now I'm really confused.
I have a save where amalgam alpha consistently only spawns it's head. No tail. (5 tests) (And on the runthrough where I continued after that, the Head only spawned one of it's two dires.)
Delta reproduces dying to nothing at all.
Beta caused me some trouble because it's healthier and stealthy, but it also died to only it's head. (3 tests) (And on the runthrough where I continued after that, the Head only spawned one of it's two dires.)
Another Alpha repeated the behaviour of the first.
Another Beta repeated the behaviour of the first.
Killing a Delta with no necromancy damage also resulted in no head or tail. (3 tests)

Alpha with no necromancy damage also resulted in only the head.
Beta with no necromancy damage also resulted in only the head.
Still no Gamma Amalgam.

Amalgam Gamma died to only it's head, The head died to only one guardian. (Tethuida) (3 tests)

* Fixed an error in the on-death spawning where sometimes entities would not spawn due to a silent exception.
* Fixed another error in the on-death spawning where if a non-drone was spawned into a drone fleet it would instantly be deleted due to not belonging in the drone fleet. Instead the new non-drone entity now spawns in the current planet's fleet.
** Thanks to Lord Of Nothing for reporting the on-death spawning issues above.
