No enemies spawning.
Okay, I've tried just about everything and have left extrememly frustrated. I've been playing this game for a few years (~100 hours logged).

Since the release, I haven't seen a single enemy. I didn't even realize it until day 7 of my game and then went stomping around caves with still no enemies.

Thus far I've tried:
- uninstalling/reinstalling
- deleting all saved games
- tuned off the synching
- went into commands: meatmode
- commands: enemies on
- commands: spawn [various enemies]

Still...not. a. thing.


Help!!! I want to enjoy this game....

when u start the game do u use mods? or spawn things soon as u start? Ive played with and without, and anytime i spawn things or use mods soon as the game starts, no enemys will spawn. When i just start and play vanilla (no spawning/mods) they will spawn, but otherwise no enemys, its like the AI knows u "cheat" so they dont spawn. Just my expierence. Ive 400+ hours

I don't use mods and I've never spawned anything. I honestly don't like cheating...I enjoy the challenge and I want to experience the game as it was intended.

I heard that enemies in caves are supposed to not respawn.

anyway are you sure that you don't have "veganmode" in main menu?

also cheating in general doesn't disable enemies... unless you use cheat to disable enemies :V

Fixed.

I used "buildermode off" and the enemies are spawing again. I have no idea how this mode was turned on however.....

I have a base perched on top of a cliff in the NE across from the ravine near the main cannibal base, that plateau with 3 ponds. There used to be a main cannibal route through there, close to my base. Ever since I used the artifact ball to attract a mob, it seems that no cannibals take that route anymore. I'm not sure if it was due to the 1.0 update or use of the ball, either way I have no cannibals going through, and also they are hard to find on the island. I have seen some in their camps, but not patrolling. I have used the modapi on that save, but have since removed it. I've tried reinstalling the game, nothing works. Will try the console command 'buildermode off' mentioned above. I started a new game, no mods just plain old normal mode and there are no shortages of patrolling cannibals.

I tried 'buildermode off' and it doesn't apper to work for me. If you look at the log, F2 F2 after that command it says it turns off godmode, survival on, enemies on and a few other commands. I'm binning my affected save and starting again in exactly the same spot, no mods or dev console, I've got cannibals coming out of my ears! ;) I'm more or less convinced it is due to something with the artifact ball.

Rambo for me I tried everything and nothing worked so in the end I refunded the game and bought it again and that worked for me.
