Bug Bate quistion

[Darkangel]

When gordon picks up the bugbait there is only 1 pod but when he throws the pod and it explodes he pulls out anotherone?

When you pick it up it is inside the damn antlion so you can't actualy see it. That model is probably just a placeholder. I believe the antlion who teaches you how to use them says something about a sack that the pods are in.

Maybe Gordon was a magician working at kid's parties before he got his PhD and went to Black Mesa, "And now for my famous trick. The Reappearing Pheropod!"

Ohhhhh that's embarrasing...

When the antlion guard dies, a vort comes out and tells you to harvest them (the pods), odds are, gordon's carrying around a sack that is still alive and continues to produce them... Yeah, a Vortigant told him how to use them...

that seems logical.....and gross....

Well look at it this way, if they made it a finite amount, it'd be ridiculously hard to get the antlions to go where you want. If they gave you a really large amount it'd seem silly to carry that many. And if they made you have to kill antlion guard after antlion guard with the help of a vortigaunt it would be tedius and impact the gameplay too much. Hence they just give you an infinite amount and don't bother telling you how many you have.

If you look in raising the bar there are a few sketches of early versions of Nova Prospekt. One shows a dead antlion guard which is also labled as a spot to restock on bugbait.
