Alien wave spawns next to the base need to stop

[Darth Glorious]

It does not feel natural at all.

[The Gruber]

Yes, this!

The whole bug swam system feels badly implemented and forced into a different mechanic. Hundreds of bugs of different types swarming your base is just killing any fun I had with this game so far. Just spawn them naturally and let them wander around, like the herding Ulfen already do... and please, down down their numbers.

yeah, the spawn should be far from base, at least rimworld spawn in the adds away from base at the edge. my settler died so many time when the decided to spawn in close to the base while everyone out mining and savage spaceship.

They should just implement something like they don't spawn within x blocks of the centre of the base. That would stop anyone cheesing it by building a massive base because the centre would be inside wherever the things they put out were, and it would give us a good boundary we can work up towards.

At the moment it's kinda silly. I have my main building right on where the crash site was, the base is well inside a 100x100 square, maybe inside a 75x75 square, but I regularly have spawns not only right on my wall, but right on top of survivors that are outside. So if they have something like that already, it certainly feels WAY too small.

I know the game is in EA, but that should be something that is a fundamental thing when designing the game; The mechanic that will govern where things spawn should be as intrinsic as what spawns.

Yeah. The aggressive insect spawns are insane. Hours in and all I am doing is building for defense and repairing now. I'd rather see spawns adjust to the number of survivors.

Or at the very least see the alien insect spawns slow down in the dead of winter.
