Spiders not spawning in SP or MP

[Justinian]

So I am really enjoying SE over the last few months and I would like to add some spice into my game. I had wolves on earthlike and it was pretty fun so I have travelled on alien planet to fight those spiders but none of them spawn. I haven't seen one spider to be honest. I tried turning them on/off, on single player server, multiplayer private server with friends, with mods, without mods but none of them works... I would really love to go with my friends and fight a few of them. Could you help me? I tried everything and don't know what to do next.

Thanks

Hi, it may be bugged only in the world you play in!?

Have you tested in a new created No Mods world to see if it was the same?
-> I would create new in creative mode to test faster.

If it is the same in new No Mods world =

Try #1 + #2 + #3 in the Forum Workaround(s) thread first :

I will add :

I can tell you Spiders are working very well because I have tested not so long ago so they should work in a new created world.

You could publish your "Bugged" save on the Workshop and share the item link here so I can go test that save.

If you really can't fix that "bugged" save, you may try that Spider Mod Fix :

Hi NPC enthusiast here, So how npcs spawn you have to be standing out in the open and not inside driving a vehicle. Like they won't spawn if your driving they will spawn if your running around on foot. Another thing about Alien planet its spawn rate and amount of npcs spawning is randomize. You might just be having bad luck.
If your okay with using a mod, I made a mod that beefs up the spawn rate that turns Alien into a planet SWARMING with them.

Fun fact: They use to spawn when you drove around on planet in 2015 and rip and tear vehicles you were hiding in. Sadly they don't now.

Indeed, Ryukki is right -> We have to walk on the soil for the spiders to spawn :

It fixed it somehow when I added that fix mod and then it was functional even without it. But when I was trying out your mod Ryukii they didn't spawn and I don't know why. It would be amazing to have a swarm of them attacking. Thank you Dan it somehow works now but they spawn rate is really low I think. I had it on armageddon eviroment hostility and only a few spawn in. But really thank you and Ryukii can you help me why does it seem that when I add your mod it does not work?

Armageddon environment only relates to meteorite spawning rate, not spiders.

Oh okay thanks for the tip I thought it maybe affected the spawn rate you know.

Hmmm weird. You sure you have the spiders ticked on? My mod only changes the planet spawn rate and amount so any "fix" on spiders should work.

Well I have other mods too but when I try your mod I always disable other mods for spiders. Spiders work for me when I have the spiders and wolves unbalance mod enabled. But when I switch it with your mod none of them spawn and I always make sure I have spider spawn enabled. Its weird. Should I have Admin spider and small spiders mod enabled too? Because I tried both with or without but no visible difference. Does your mod collide with more encounters mod or any of the sort? I have different weapons, encounters, ground bases mods and such but I really wanted your spider mod because it looks so GOOD.

[Dan2D3D]

The best is always test one Mod at a time in a new created world (testing world), this way you don't mess up the original and also tells you if it is conflicting with other Mods when testing by adding one Mod at a time.

What planets are you testing this on? As far as I know, I've only seem them on the Alien planet (in Vanila SE).

[Justinian]

We have a server with solar system and we always go on Alien planet to look for them. And I fixed the vanilla spiders but I would love to have Ryukii's mod functional.

@Valen

Info
Spiders can be found on both Alien planets so the Planet and its Moon.
also on the Pertam planet but takes about 2 hours before they spawn in.

As @Dan2D3D said, spiders are found on the Alien planet and its moon, Titan, as well as very rarely on Pertam.

[Valen]

Ok, just wanted to get that distinction where he was clear. As I have never encountered them on Earth or Mars or other planets and moons. So for all we know he could have been looking for them on a planet/moon that doesn't spawn them at all.

I guess I have not been around too often in the area of the Alien planet, as I didn't know it had a dedicated moon. (Or rather, didn't know it was Titan) But to be honest, I don't see a distinction between moon and planet balls. They just seem voxels to land on to me.
