Martian Madness Not Starting in Multiplayer

[Photon]

I'm in a friends world and we've seen quite a few Martian Probes detect us and fly off but none of them seem to be starting the Martian Madness event. We're currently Post-Golem so the event should be happening when we see the probes.

The event works fine in Singleplayer but it doesn't seem to work in multiplayer sadly.

If anyone knows what to do to get the event to spawn please tell me



Thanks in advance,

ive had the same problems with my friend we recently beat moon lord and what i did when testing the probes was i de summoned my summons and let the robe detect me and before it left i hit it but not kill it hope this helps its what i did to get it to work for me

I'll see if that will work. Our gear is end-game though so we usually one shot mobs... We could try hitting it with a pickaxe or a hammer though.

ok its hard to hit so be careful also do you happen to have a xenp staff or a weather radio i need one of each i can dup them all but i need radio for cell phone and the xeno staff for a charactor

[Soulaire]

nvm on cell phone and staff but let me know if it wored the probes

sounds wired .... maybe its just cause the multiplayer .. i have something like this with my Traveling merchant. Everytime i play solo on my server he comes from time to time visit me . but as soon my friend joins my world and we play for some hours , the merchant does not spawn. If i restart the server then it fixes most times the problem. (I play on IP based server not a steam host ) maybe you are just unlucky.

Following the probe high up until it goes offscreen is what I do. They have a tendency to despawn without triggering the event otherwise.
