Sentinel spawns next to me, unavoidable. Ruining exploration.

[I'm a Woonicorn.]

Yeah, so sentinels on all planets are spawning a couple meters from my character very often, making trying to farm anything become so tedious.

I can deal with it on normal planets but 'Aggressive' planets are just impossible to get around without constant, unavoidable combat. I'll be running around keeping an eye out for sentinels but then one spawns next to me and instantly calls in reinforcements.

I get that 'Aggressive' planets are supposed to be more difficult etc and that's fine but it's not fun if they cannot be avoided, no matter how alert you are. You then have to spend all your time digging tunnels to get away, only for another to spawn next to you.

Is that intended or bugged? Anything to change the spawns, other than disabling sentinels? That would suck.

it is pretty simple nowadays, destroy all waves of them and the planet is pacifyed for a certain amount of time

you could also use a map to find these sentinel note to disable them on a planet for a while

or you use this invisibility gadget for the multitool

That does make sense, thanks.

I suppose I could do that every time I land, it just it seems a little over the top and tedious. Like, when I just want to do something quick in my settlement and so land there, I'm often in 1st sentinel wave during the time it takes for the game load me out the starship (seconds). :(

Wait until you come across a planet/moon where the sentinels are described as "hateful"

Just run from them if you don't want to bother. Basically you can just ignore them as long as you stay on the move.

It's well worth killing them anyway, if you can manage it and you definitely can with a little practice, even with a brand new char and a basic boltcaster. Find a building and bunker in the door, pick them all off. They won't attack you when you are inside, even if you are killing them. They'll even come inside and let you shoot them, hands tied. The mechs wills shoot into the doorways though. You can make a lot of nanites this way. Ofc it takes some time so just run/be quick about your tasks on that planet if you don't want to get sidetracked.
