mutants spawn in your base

its surounded by 3 large walls
yet virginia as you can see pops in and out whenever she likes

it just seems building defense walls is pointless if they spawn so close to you
or in this case with virginia just flashing in and out of my base :(

Ive brought this up at 0.22 patch, at time they walk trough the wall others just spawn inside. Like there would be this spawn circle around players. Nice to see this get posted again, making walls just poitnless atm.

yes its annoying for sure

I use the large metal cargo containers a lot, thick steel walls right? lol I've had them run through and get stuck on the doors trying to exit. Now armsie and virginia have not come through but they try to get me and their "limbs" come through the wall, but they do not hurt me. I can kill them with the ax or katana from inside the storage container through the walls. Not very fair but I'm sure that will be fixed.

They definitely should spawn much farther from you as a rule. Even if my base is really tight fitting you always see them running around like morons right outside, like they spawned next to the walls and didnt even try to stalk around or be stealthy

THIS HAPPENS TO ME WHENEVER I BUILD A LARGE BASE, THEY JUST SPAWN IN IT AND IT'S UTTERLY USELESS. THIS NEEDS TO BE PATCHED. MUTANTS SHOULDN'T SPAWN RIGHT BEHIND ME IF I'M SURROUNDED BY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ WALLS.

Guess I've been lucky...I've built all kinds of bases and never had them spawn inside my walls. I've always seen them coming from a distance before they attack.
AndrewMorrison22 Feb 24, 2016 @ 9:29am 
you simply didn't make one large enough. if you build a base thats large enough that you have trouble seeing (even with ultra draw distance), they will just spawn in it. defeating the purpose of all your work.
AndrewMorrison22 Feb 24, 2016 @ 9:32am 
This has to be fixed in the next patch or otherwise large bases will be obsolete in general, making it difficult to survive on your resources inside your base alone.

If its so big I can't see the far end of it [even with ultra draw distance] then I dont think its unreasonable they are spawning inside your base....your basically walling in the island and asking them not to appear in it.

i suppose so, but still. this generally defeats the purpose of building large bases altogether. which is probably 50% of the community's strategy, either a large base or a small one.

Yes i suppose it would discourge the idea of having a base the size of the Vatican...not sure if thats a bad thing or not. I doubt if more than 5% of the players ever build the size of what you describe. I imagine most eventually build medium-sized ones like me.

If you do wish to fence in huge amounts of terrirtory I'd recommend having inner fencing and defences around the main fort, just like the old land barons and kings did.

i messaged BRT Cobra on friends, i had a armsy spawn 20 feet behind me with 4 cannibals in a not large but decent size base, and then virginia spawned 20 feet behind me after i killed armsy the virginia that spawned bugged out in my double log wall stuck

Dont hate me for saying this but...my theory is that they are alien humanoid species, maybe they have the ability to teleport and its part of the game...build accordingly...adapt to survive. :steamhappy:
