Why did my wings spazz out?

Everything was going so well. I was a spess doc Lavaland spawn, I got some bone armor and weaponry, killing goliaths left and right easy peasy. Found a miner and we took down a tendril. It gave me a potion which gave me wings.
So I got a bit of damage and ate some fruit. Got fat and the next goliath I fought was a disaster. My wings spazzed out and they threw me almost on top of it, hard stunning me.
I died and I don’t know why. Is it because I was fat? Why does this game have against fatties HMMM???

Also, how would I get rid of fat in Lavaland? The description says to run around, but I’m not sure if that really does anything.

The wings are pretty broken right now, Zesko has a PR open to completely refactor all wings in the game and make them great again.

And getting rid of fatness mostly depends on how much excess nutriment you have consumed, a small amounts over the limit can be removed by just running two laps around a circle as large as main hallways, an epic overconsumption of nutriment will make you fat for the entire round.

Looking at the code, Lavaland Tobacco contains fat-depleting Lipolicide at a 40% concentration, and a seed packet for it spawns in the ashwalker base. Don’t take too much, lipolocide deals toxin damage that increases when you’re starving.

As far as I know, it deals no toxin damage at all as long as you’re fat.

Your’re right, I was going off my memory of the description.

Don’t fly while fighting.

If you get tentacled you spazz out and that is most-likely your demise. I’m fairly sure just taking enough damage also fucks them over.

Wings are still great for miners due to going over lava/abyss while not fighting though.

Fat has nothing to do with it.

If you get slipped while flying your wings spazz out

Thanks for the replies everyone! They were quite helpful :D.
