Missing Crabs???

[yippeekiay]

Not sure if it's meant to be or a bug in my game.

While exploring the new areas with crabs in I came across 1 or 2 crabs to kill. Then I came upon the Megacrab & his minions. Killed them all off & everywhere I explore within that island region has zero crabs. Every few footsteps, & I mean that quite literally, I get notification of this or that crab nest being wiped out yet I've seen no crabs whatsoever.
I've explored a huge amount of the mob icons that appear on the maps & all I find are the occasional pile of crab eggs, got what must be 300 or more of them but no crabs to be seen.

Glitch or intended?

that sounds like a bug to me.

ok, it did seem weird. Was wondering if I should leave eggs to hatch but I'm a hoarder & can't resist anything left for me to grab haha.
Really upset me when I found a dozen or so hiddn under a big rock that I couldn't collect either lol ;o)

Right, must be one of my mods. Switched them all off & the crab nests now have loads of baby crabs in them. The island is also inhabited by roaming big ones.

Dammit, now to find which mod is the breaker & hope it's not one I like lol ;o)

when you figure it out
let the Mod creator know so they can try and fix it.

[yippeekiay]

Will do.

I have seen the same notifications of numerous crab nest being wiped out as well.
I do have a large number of mods though.

We're all thinking it. The question is are we mature enough to say nothing?

The answer is no.

Most people would be happy to not have crabs.

Start with mods that add and/or change NPC/mobs squads and/or nests and then mods that add towns and factions with populations.

There's a lot of mods on workshop that aren't updated for the new map and many of those weren't compat with the last map version either.Shame as there were so many really nice mods I had to discard because they are no longer updated.

Had this exact issue with those kind of mods not all that long ago.I fixed it by going back to vanilla (mostly lol)

Was the first thing I thought when I read the title. Your posting like not having crabs is a bad thing.

[yippeekiay]

Well I had an itch so had to scratch it... ehhe

[yippeekiay]

Oh...and I reloaded with all the same mods active but unsubscribed all I haven't had active, so in basic terms I've got exactly the same mobs running & it's all ok. Area now has crabs & loads of beak things, neither of which were there earlier. Especially all the darn beak things.
Weird, but I'm happy now ;o)

Wondering if that was why a lot of ruins were totally empty yesterday, may have to go explore again.

[Lonedog]

Hate beak things, crabs don't eat you, well at least till you're already dead...kinda like bone dogs

[yippeekiay]

Yeah, not so keen on them myself but nice stat builder for my squad as there are many nests in close proximity to each other. A couple of minutes running around checking my previous problem meant dozens & dozens killed & 15 eggs to sell. Not that I need it on current playthrough as I have close to 5 million cats now lol ;o)
