Hello everyone.
Since I'm building a new hold (using GatEB editor) I built a room and casually found out a very strange behaviour, I attached a test hold where you can watch a demo from the title screen to see what I mean.
Here's what I did: I placed 2 gel mothers surrounded by force arrows and removed the gel under them. Then I put an invisibility potion and I entered into the range on 1 gel mother; until then there were 2 mothers, after the growth a gel baby appeared and "killed" the mother, if you click with your mouse it will only say floor but the mother is actually there and is like a ghost. She can also spawn babies and under her it will grow gel but it will say that there is no gel mother.
I don't know if I explained good but you can watch the demo and try by yourself, it's very simple to create a situation like that.
I tried also with mud and tar mothers but in that case there are no problem.
Why such thing happen?

Yeah, I see the problem. Gel mothers that don't get gel placed under them during a gel growth cycle could still allow a gel baby to spawn over them, and two monsters occupying the same tile causes bad things to happen. Have committed a fix for it, which should be in the next release of TCB and GatEB, whenever they happen to be. Thanks.
