Dangerous creatures getting closer

[Nimdra]

So I'm playing the survival game mode and it has been 24 h+ and I'm starting to experience the big spooky fishes being WAY to close , I got attacked by a reaper about 400-500 meters from the lifepod. And I keep seeing bonesharkes and electric danger noodle and Warpers within 500 meters (which I never have before) .

Is this part of the game, do they get closer to the spawn point within time?

[Nimdra]

Just met a Reaper 100 meters from my lifepod. :))))

and now, there is one in your room, (BEHIND YOU !).

Usually, no.

[Pepperyena]

Warpers never follow you, IIRC.

Reapers... I'm not sure. They all have areas they patrol, but if you leave those areas, they should stay there.

Bonesharks CAN migrate to your lifepod, which sucks. It might be worthwhile to kill them if they're messing up your biome.

I have no idea about Ampeels. I assume they just hang out in their respective biomes.

We just traced that Reaper call - IT'S COMING FROM INSIDE THE BASE! ;)

The leviathans and bigger creatures can be kited. If you go far enough their leash will break.
When they break pursuit of you they will re leash themselves tho the new area.
Somewhere like the safe shallows :D

Pick up all the metal salvage pieces you can around your lifepod/base, that'll make the stalkers go somewhere else to feed. and once you make the thermal knife you can stab the poison tail things. as for leviathans....kite them away or ram them with torpedos and stuff maybe?

Stalkers are no problem, they have been around since the beginning. I just give them some metal salvage and they keep busy (and i can farm their teeth, win win). Leviathans are the ones who scare me, they keep taking my seamoths and disturb me when i scavange

I literally cried the first time I got attacked, scared the living crap out of me. I was expecting this calm and beautiful game and then BOOM REAPERS

[Bird_Dog]

Can't you kite it away?

[Grim]

All predators will migrate the more time you spend in their area the closer they will come. The safe shallows has the most to feed on so basic pred AI is naturally going to be lured there.

"But hey, if you got a problem with reapers patrolling the shallows then ur juz a n00b git gud!"

Just remember that NOTHING can kill you when you're in your base. It's 10000% safe. :)

As for reapers getting close to spawn point there was an issue with that waay back in early'ish early access. But we're then talking in actual shallows.
If the ones you're encountering is near the top or bottom of the aurora, that's as expected. (Keep close to the hull when going for the ship)

If you dont mind using the console you can kill him for good.
Command is
instagib
Then attack it with 1 knife stike.
Dont get hit. You will die from 1 point of damage also.
Alfter its ded, type it again to turn off.

I might actually do that, because I can't leave my base when he is lurking 100m away
