Captures Very Annoying

[Chris]

As soon as I login (SP) AI attempts to capture one of my NPCs. Every time. Then it happens again every 20 minutes. It's very annoying.

So I am forced to babysit them and can't do anything else. Find them, chase them, hit them and they ignore you even if you bring them down to 1% HP. It's a constant chase, because they won't stop sprinting away and you're doing your best to actually hit them. Due to the way combat works it's not easy to hit someone who is moving away from you at sprint speed.

Then if they are captured when you are not around you are forced to kill 100 NPCs and then the "boss" (sort of) which is a good luck scenario if you aren't much stronger at the time.

The entire base is walled off, but of course any NPC you have outside gathering is a target. Every 20 minutes. It would be nice to be able to actually play the game rather than babysit them.

On top of that patrols are completely useless. They ignore all enemy NPCs and just stand there.

Use patrols or make sure your tribesman is OP enough to fend for himself? If not, bring bow and arrows, why chase when you can shoot them in the butt or head...

As I said, patrols completely ignore them. I've watched them stand feet away.

Shoot a sprinting AI through bush, rock, trees and repeat it enough times to kill? No.

The entire system needs reworked. I shouldn't have to deal with this every 20 minutes.

Strange, set to attack, not passive? I am gone from my first base for days now. Not a single kidnap...

Move a bit, aim true.

Can we get some more info on where your base is, I been wanting more action but no one ever attempts to kidnap my ppl unless I have no patrols and no walls. ALSO BIG ALSO, DO NOT send one harvester out alone the ppl kidnapping your guys are called Tribute Barers and they spawn out of thin air in a group of like 4-5 i saw. You need multiple harvesters going to same location

Yeap. Though both of those settings are.. strange anyway. Technically neither one is "attack". One from what I am told is "attack if attacked" and the other is just passive and don't attack (flee). You can't change them for patrols anyway. There are buttons when you set the patrol to tell them to do it, but they.. don't.

I have 3 guys on patrol right where they gather and none of them do anything on the patrol. They ignore every enemy.

The base is near the waterfall in the jungle. Next to a jaguar spawn. Equal distance between copper and tin. West of the first portal.

What do you have your harvesters doing? Logging? Mining?
