there are some spiderwebs with spiders on them between trees sometime. Nothing major.

same here, but the forest had huge spiders out of nowhere, I always had to kill em. Seen the webs on the trees XD hope the spiders arent too big.

While I like spider modes in game (like grounded etc) I think here is ok-ish

There were spiders in first game but if we don't count one specific plot encounter with a mutant spider only harmless once that sometimes spawn when you pick up a rock. They wander somewhere and then disappear doing absolutely nothing to harm the player. There are webs in this one found on the trees, don't know if there are spiders or if they are harmful.

Ok, good to know. And one more thing, are they big or rather small? Weird question but i really have a problem xd

So far the only spiders I have seen were the ones that would occasionally scurry out from under rocks that I pick up. Just a visual, they don't do anything to you.

maybe it was biome related, I began a new run this week and where I was, there were spiders often XD

There's some medium-to-small sized spiders hanging around in the webs between trees.

And sometimes when you pick up large rocks you can see a fairly large spider scurry off in fear of you, looked to be the size of a Huntsman Spider, so you might want to poke the devs for an Arachnophobia mode.

I love green hell for possibility of turning them off

now im lil bit concerned XDD I dont like using arachnophobia modes as it doesnt help with the phobia, but in grounded, the first level of that mode simply removed them the 2 front legs, making them a little bit less big / realistic, and it helped XD

That’s really helpful, thanks! I will definitely do something about that arachophobia mode. Hopefully the community will be faster with that and will create such mod.

To be fair, if you can somewhat handle the spiders in Grounded then I'm reasonably certain you should be fine with the ones in this game. They're more of the ''icky creepy crawly'' thing here were you feel disturbed at how large the webs they leave all over the place are and how they surprise you when you pick up rocks. They don't seem to actually attack you or anything like in Green Hell.

At least it's not like the damn Centipede in Green Hell that crawls out of whatever you're carrying and onto your damn hand.... >.>

No problem! Just keep in mind that I can't guarantee that this game will ever get an Arachnophobia mode :/ I'm just pointing out that the spider I've seen in the game so far seem harmless BUT they do evoke that ''icky'' feeling and they do surprise you, so someone with a slightly more severe level of Arachnophobia would probably be feeling pretty disturbed, while those with less severe levels might be able to just power through it due to how non-violent the spiders seem to be so far.
