Enemies spawning in our base?

[KingOfFriedChicken]

Im new so i dont know what is intended as a mechanic so im asking for some help and clarification on mechanics to know how to set up our base better perhaps

To start my brother was out exploring, he found a big wurm boss boring his path around the map, and a spawn room, he attacked some grubs in the spawn room and out of nowhere both me and his wife had grubs spawn directly from under us, i was in our crafting room which they thoroughly wrecked after killing me cuz it was like 8 of them, and it happened to his wife this has happened maybe 3 times? a few just random spawns. i figured floors may stop this but idk what causes it...

Then while we were both out exploring we found some stone giants we proceeded to kill a few and then about 5 stone giants spawned directly in our cattle farm which wrecked about 8 cattle they left alone our bug like cattle at least haha but his wife back at base is just in panic cuz out of nowhere giants spawned in the base and destroyed her farms.

SO whats the deal? how do we stop these spawns from happening? whats causing them? and more importantly why do they spawn so close to our base practically dead center of it?

This is incredibly odd. When starting to read your post, I thought perhaps you had the crysalis flooring in your base and didn't realise it could be hit to be removed, but then I read you had Sentries spawn in your base, too.

I'm assuming your base is around the Core and no one has placed Urban Moss floor down in the cattle farm?

Crysalis and Urban Moss are spawn tiles for the relevant creatures you mentioned (larvae and Sentries), but if these aren't present in your base, and this happened at the exact moment other players encountered them across the map, it is highly possible this is a bug that needs to be reported to the devs ASAP.

You can find the bug report form on the link in the pinned discussion post (at the top of the discussion board). I recommend letting them know so they can look into it, and giving as much description as possible with your report. ^_^

No moss! Lol but no I was working on making hay floor cuz I wanted to stop the weird behavior of them spawning directly under our feet, it seems to happen when we attack specifically a type of unit that unit then spawns near other players.

We have an area we built some farms in with spawning tiles, but it's not near the core like our base. Areas cut off from the base for mushroom, slime and the spawning floors in general for smaller mob farms, which the stone giant guys also spawned in and just starting fighting the grubs haha I have resorted to a moat around the entire base but I have not tested if the moat will solve it yet but when we all get on later we will see.

Yeah, that very much sounds like a bug with the game registering all players as being in the same range as these spawned mobs and it spawning them by all of you.

Would starting a new game solve this by chance? I mean we lost all of our cattle already I can't imagine we are gonna find more easy lol

You could try going to a new world and seeing if it happens again, without deleting the old one, to test if it's just the world is bugged...

But also finding cattle isn't too tough. If you've explored all of the dirt biome and can't find meadows, the outskirts of the Azeos Wilderness will have them, and the strolly polies respawn on the outskirts of the Desert of Beginnings. ^_^ The new pet workbench allows for crafting single-use carry boxes to pick up livestock and take them back to your base in your inventory (that's how I got the turtles back to my base today).

Yeah i just got a pet box, we were just about to get into Iron so we aren't that far, we have started a new world hopefully that helps but we used what we learned to set up a more organized base of operations, and as I have a load of time I'm decorating the base and working on how to figure out low end automation.

I'll see if it happens on the new world so far no, but we have not gone back to fight anything yet either as we are setting up food and stuff.

So for sure a bug, we started a new world and that world isn't spawning random stuff under our feet funny the first time it happened I thought it was just from holding the spawn tiles in our inventory cuz we had just got them for grubs.
